Good evening,
Today I'd like to talk a bit about Slight of Hand magicians and magic in general.
I'm a fan. Have been for a long time. Penn and Teller are probably my favourite magicians at any given time but have you seen Ricky Jay?
This man is amazing! I have no doubt in my mind that he is the greatest card handler of all time.
Simply amazing.
Do yourself a favour and seek out his work. Stunning. Slow it down if you want. Freeze frame it.
Go ahead. See if you can figure this man out.
If you have the fortune to be in an area where slight of hand magicians are plentiful, go see them.
There are the classics of stage magic that over the years have been exposed and almost seem just corny now. Sawing a lady in half? Bah! making a woman levitate? No thanks.
That's why I'm a fan of slight of hand. Cards, coins or anything like that.
Tricks, Illusions, whatever you call them. If they involve hands and cards I'm in.
So back to Ricky Jay. Seriously this guy is amazing. His hands are so precise in handling the cards. It's wonderful to watch. A real treat.
