Very early, nervous, unfunny Jay Sankey… with hair! I love to see these old videos of performers to get an idea of how far they’ve come, and their style has developed.
When did Nathan Kranzo implode? Last time I checked he was all jolly and jubbly… now he’s more suave and “street cool”.
More power to him!
I hate people that say, “He’s a nice person once you get to know him.”
They might as well just say, “He’s a dickhead, but you’ll get used to it.”

I’m not ashamed to say that when I saw this for the first time, I got so excited… I may have squirted a little.

You don’t see many crucified saviours at kid’s parties in my neck of the woods. Go figure??

So Paul Daniels would rather burn his stash of big illusions, rather than sell them for less than a price he sees as reasonable. Can anybody explain that logic to me?
Surely he would be deemed influential enough that a museam or historical society would hold these pieces.
Or… is he actually strapped for cash and is using a bit of tricky psychology to aid a sale?
Hmmm….
Worlds Funniest Magician Duo (via karlluigi1987)
Fairly sure the counter guy fell asleep and bumped the button a few times accidentally. More than once I had to re-watch to figure out what the fuck the trick was supposed to be.
Here’s something that shits me… street “magicians” walking up to girls and saying anything remotely resembling:
“Hey… you wanna see something cool?”
And then doing it anyway. Here’s what’s wrong with this approach.
a) More often than not the trick, or ‘effect’ as magi brethren are apt to call it, is shit… making the promise of something cool a vulgar over-exaggeration of the facts.
b) ‘Hey’ should never be used as a greeting, especially to a female you’re hoping to bed later due to the effectiveness of your miracle card/coin into pocket/bottle.
c) Posing this statement as a question, knowing full-well that there is no chance for the unwilling spectator to slip away is presumptuous and arrogant. Given a silent pause at the appropriate junction I would expect a good percentage would assume they are being sold something, avert their eyes in same way you try to pretend you haven’t noticed the student outside the supermarket selling raffle tickets, and politely decline. Or worse, the fear that ‘something cool’ may in fact be the revelation of an appendage currently hidden by a slim barrier of satin boxers and cheap denim? Remembering that as far as they know you’re just some weird guy running around with a compulsion to shove your unnaturally gripped deck of cards in their personal space. Odd indeed.
I’m in full support of getting out there and showing your talents to the masses, but try and approach with some courtesy and respect, and string a few adjectives, verbs and nouns together to create some form of cohesive scripting. “Watch…Watch… this is cool… you watching?” does not count.
Dicks!
