Cards can hit you in the head.

One great thing about magic is that it has the ability to develop a certain climax depending on how you want it to be. It can be an ecstatic ending or mystifying even. Depending on how you deliver the piece of art that you make, people will call you out from being a trickster with fast hands to being a really strange individual with supernatural demonic powers. It is that effective. 

David Blaine is quite the magician and illusionist that broke in the mainstream and has mystified a lot of people with a lot of levitation acts, card tricks and a lot of other nasty stuff. He has created sort of a distinguishable mysterious personality around him. Criss Angel on the other hand does a lot of tricks too and considers himself as a freak. Same effects, almost the same methodologies but different outcomes or end results or different personalities. David Blaine popularized a card trick every budding magician does, the two-card Monte. Its a card switching/gambling effect that the spectator cluelessly follows and yet fails to catch how the switch is done. It has a lot of subtleties and it is quite a tough trick to learn in the beginning. here is how david blaine does it. 

Great reactions from a classic card trick. Everybody’s got a version of it and its cool, its unpredictable and its got a nice twist. Wanna see how i do it? Okay here it is. PLS turn down the volume of your speakers for now because this is unedited. 

Yes. I miss having those kinds of reactions and you only got a deck of cards and good showmanship to make people blow their minds and just have fun. Also an issue for me is how to set that kind of personality. Well, perhaps i should just be myself. A card magician is what it is. Perhaps im just seeking some sort of inspiration again to do the things that i really enjoy. Ive been called the devil one time when i performed stigmata by Wayne Houchin with some college school girls. Some of them actually ran out of the gazebo. Its fun. Its takes away people’s stress and give them a sense of wonder.

Okay, i dont wanna post a video of Stigmata here because i ought to show it to someone soon. Dont wanna spoil things. Lol. As for the 2 card monte, its quite become a generic effect now that everyone has seen it. Well at least in my standards. Haha.

Thanks for reading.
