Custom Connections

You’re pumped up; You’re energy’s high; Table number 4 requested “The Magician.” You walk over there and everyone seems nice. You introduce yourself. You pull out a deck of cards, and that’s when it happens. The spectator says the most retarded thing you can imagine: “I’ve seen this one.” Doesn’t that kind of imply that there is only one card trick in the entire universe? How do you counter that? Even if she wasn’t being a heckler . . . maybe she was excited and she was telling her friends how excited she was to see that trick again. However, [...]

The Mistress Card Principle

Look man . . . It’s not what it looks like. Sure . . . you’ve heard that before, but this time I mean it. Sure I was born a Diamond, and through my pre-arranged marriage, I end up with the Queen of Diamonds, but isn’t that like marrying my cousin or something? Anyway, that all-thumbs “magician” did some “every card has a mate” trick, and next thing you know, I’m stuck next to the Queen of Hearts. She smells nice and is certainly hot, but I didn’t put her there. Then of course, here comes my wife, wondering how [...]

The Magic of Business Cards

The Magic of Business Cards

Last month the statement/question was, “You don’t have a camera? Really!?” This month it’s “You don’t do magic with your business cards? Really!?” I’m not gonna spend a lot of time convincing you that magic with business cards is critical. However, think of this: you meet someone on a plane or standing in line at the grocery store or at a networking meeting, etc. The guy asks you what you do for a living. You say that you’re a magician (or whatever you call yourself). Then you produce a business card from thin air (back palm or whatever method you [...]

Magic vs. Tricks

Ha! I Tricked you! or That car is Tricked out! or I Tricked my parents into thinking I was at the library Vs. When I saw her, it was like “Magic” or Few moments are as Magical as witnessing the birth of your own child or The Magic of Disney Which one are you trying for? Which one inspires more emotion? I dare say that “magic” is much better than a “trick.” The catch is that the trick is needed to create the magic. The magic is the feeling (a.k.a. Astonishment) that we are aiming for. The trick is merely [...]

Jackson Hole

Well folks, I don’t know what to tell you. I was sitting there minding my own business reading my sister’s diary like any good brother should, when suddenly I hear her approaching. Having no time to hide I dive behind her bed which conveniently happened to be kitty-corner leaving a nice hiding space. However, the unfortunate situation began getting worse and worse by the minute as I realize that my sister was sitting on her bed and wasn’t planning on leaving any time soon. Clearly the choice was clear. I had to jump up from behind the bed and scare [...]
