Didn't watch the video. Hate magic tricks. Much like advanced mathematics I know there's a logical chain of events that gets from A to B, but I do not have the patience to understand it. That said, I appreciate the skill required to physically perform the tricks (speaking as someone with trigger finger in both hands and arthritis on the horizon) but wish they turned their skills to a more reputable profession, like pick-pocketing.
The name that came up is one I used on Blainesville, but both are mine. I have followed this great website for years, but seldom post. When I do I like to check for follow-ups and was disappointed to find none. Since this post, I have seen several more purported to be on one of the "talent" programs. Many of them rely on the fiction that the tricks are done in front of an audience and a judging panel. They are not and the illusions are from photoshop fakery. It is too bad. Thanks for the time.

ReplyDeletecounterpoint: Magic tricks are fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe guy may be good, but the camera work sucks. I like the magic tricks on fool Penn & Teller - fewer or no cuts, better tricks, longer tricks.
ReplyDeleteFinally got to this. Amazing. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that was done on stage. That was the illusion.
