Where I Stand - hanging out with friends

Here's an "episode" of a talk show some old friends of mine made with me two years ago. I'm hosting a subliminal training magic party at my house later today (Wednesday 3-9-11)with some friends. That is the closest thing to a reason I could think of for uploading this video! Friends

Magic Monday

Here's a video of me performing on the fly at Buffalo Wild Wings back around January.

Please be forewarned that there's some foul language and "honest reactions" to this effect that I was not able to easily edit out. Flip camera software is not easy to navigate and does not give many options for editing.

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.
