Dan and Dave on Time Warp

My good friend Dan Buck and his sibling Dave Buck were on the Discovery channel’s Time Warp. I’m sure most of you have already seen this, but for those who haven’t… it’s rather awesome.

Twisting Revisited

Howdy, 

It’s been a while since I’ve posted and I’m going to try to get me and Tatanka organzied to try to post more often and consistently. I feel as if we’ve been hibernating and not it’s Spring time so we should wake up and get back on track. I would like to announce that we have reached 5000 total views of the blog since November, we’re proud. 

I would like to leave you with a video of my performance of Brother John Hamman’s Twisting Revisited, I hope you like it.

The Anti-Faro

I posted my video of me performance of what is know as one of the most difficult moves in magic, The Anti-Faro, about a week ago. I linked the video on a few of the magic forums which obviously created some controversy, but I want to know what YOU guys think.

The Anti-Faro was created by Christian Engblom and was first published in a set of lecture notes of his, then later published in Genii (May 2001)  and a DVD named Que Raro! I also wanted to point out that basically nobody can hit the move perfectly with the entire deck consistently, as you will see in the video.

An Interresting Day (SP)

After a scary event last night, today was a very fun day. A good friend of mine, Matt Richman drove from Philadelphia to New York City to hang out and visit the magic scene in NYC. When I came to Tannens Magic at noon; Matt, Tatanka, Shawn Pandit and Ricky Smith were there talking and sessioning. I came late so I only enjoyed Ricky for 5 minutes :'(. We were hungry so we went to McDonald’s to nourish our bodies, except for Shawn, his body nourishes itself. When we got back to Tannens, Tony Chang was there being himself (too cool for nourishment). Later on Ben Pratt, a nice guy named Alpen and Gary Au came to the shop and we all hung out, did magic and talked about LOST and meth. The group left leaving just me Tatanka and Matt, we then went to the Dark Side of Magic, also known as Fantasma where we saw Simon Lovell briefly and hung out some more. Literally 5 minutes before Matt had to leave, we were able to film his nice version of Paul Harris’ Reset, Matt calls his version Reset Redone.

Here is the clip we filmed, since we didn’t have much time we needed to film 2 parts separately for numerous reasons.

I hope you enjoy watching one of the most talented young sleight of hand artists I have ever come across other than myself ;).

Repro-Rétro

Bebel is an extremely talented magician based in Paris, France. He is one of the smoothest card handlers in the world, his magic is a big inspiration on me. This is his wonderful version of Reset performed by me, I hope you guys like it.
