Magic Monday Week 4
This is a refresher video of some of the effects we went over in my most recent magic class.
Now this week was about performance. This effect wasn't taught in my class (nor could I truly teach it in one hour, the secret is almost harder than the effect itself.) The idea is disecting performances and seeing what you like and what you feel you could do differently.
We felt pretty lucky to get this strange triangle shaped table; it was perfect for a performance. I began by making a coin appear from nowhere and then impossibly vanish never to be seen again. I think that started the nite on a very strange note. An hour after we ate; the guy in the video came up to me and asked "...where did the coin go?" I've never made someone that on edge about a coin vanish before, but I think it was because the coin wasn't brought back. An old saying goes, if magic where real people wouldn't clap they would scream, and I think I may have danced along a thin line that nite between magic and something more.
