00:00:00.321 --> 00:00:13.092
So when I first got together with Wayne, he invited me to his house in Surrey and I was so excited, I was like a kid in a sweet shop and I went down and obviously went into the house.
00:00:13.092 --> 00:00:15.407
We went into his office at the time.
00:00:15.407 --> 00:00:16.625
He said open that cupboard.
00:00:16.625 --> 00:00:22.112
So I opened the cupboard and it was just full of all the latest releases that he had.
00:00:22.112 --> 00:00:28.242
And he said right, so you're going to help me demonstrate these tricks at the magic circle dealers.
00:00:28.242 --> 00:00:29.245
I said, okay, cool.
00:00:29.245 --> 00:00:31.690
He said take one of each and and learn them.
00:00:31.690 --> 00:00:36.515
You got about two and a half weeks and I'm sitting there going this is fantastic, you know.
00:00:36.515 --> 00:00:41.347
And then sitting there going oh my god, I've got two and a half weeks to learn all these and learn them.
00:00:41.347 --> 00:00:44.564
Well, to get magicians to buy them, I took them home.
00:00:44.564 --> 00:00:45.728
I learned every single one.
00:00:45.728 --> 00:00:49.530
I spent hours every day learning these, mastered them.
00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:51.868
Obviously, the Magic Circle dealer day came.
00:00:51.868 --> 00:00:54.848
I got to the stand he's not there.
00:00:54.848 --> 00:00:58.411
Richard Pinner walked up to me and he went show my mate Lucky Card.
00:00:58.411 --> 00:01:02.390
And I'm like in my head what the is Lucky Card?
00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:05.007
Anyway, at that moment, wayne's come in.
00:01:05.007 --> 00:01:05.941
I've gone.
00:01:05.941 --> 00:01:07.165
Where the bloody hell have you been?
00:01:07.165 --> 00:01:08.088
I've been at the bar.
00:01:08.088 --> 00:01:09.605
I said, what about this lucky card?
00:01:09.605 --> 00:01:14.408
And he just looked at me and he goes, I forgot, and then starts bursting out laughing.
00:01:14.408 --> 00:01:21.120
I just look, a complete pillock now in front of all these magicians that are wanting to see this trick.
00:01:50.956 --> 00:01:54.498
Hello and welcome to another episode of Desert Island Tricks.
00:01:54.498 --> 00:01:55.766
We have a guest.
00:01:55.766 --> 00:02:00.819
Today's guest is someone who I know Pete has known for a very, very long time.
00:02:00.819 --> 00:02:15.784
In fact, a few days ago I was going back in Pete's picture role to try and find a picture to superimpose him as Santa, and there are pictures of Mike going back years and years and years Now.
00:02:15.784 --> 00:02:24.908
I've only known Mike for maybe I want to say five or six years now, and Mike is not only one of the nicest people that you'll meet in our industry.
00:02:24.908 --> 00:02:27.913
He really is a very, very lovely person.
00:02:27.913 --> 00:02:33.532
He'll always go out of his way to try and help everyone, but he's also an incredible demo.
00:02:33.532 --> 00:02:45.967
If you ever go to a convention, you'll always see Mike just going

for the demo, and he's so engaging, he's so much fun, he's so funny, but it's also his enthusiasm for magic.
00:02:45.967 --> 00:03:02.305
Now you'll probably know that he works a lot with wayne dobson and hopefully we're going to get wayne on one of these one day soon uh, with mike's help, of course, and hopefully it'll be interesting to see if mike can guess what wayne's list is going to.
00:03:02.305 --> 00:03:03.306
Maybe that's what we'll do.
00:03:03.306 --> 00:03:04.408
We'll play a little game.
00:03:04.408 --> 00:03:06.454
So I'm going to stop babbling.
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.947
Today's guest is the wonderful Mike Sullivan.
00:03:09.947 --> 00:03:12.592
Hi Mike, hello mate, how are you?
00:03:12.592 --> 00:03:13.622
I'm very well.
00:03:13.622 --> 00:03:14.383
Thank you, how are you?
00:03:14.383 --> 00:03:15.506
I'm good.
00:03:15.506 --> 00:03:18.112
I'm good, excited this is good.
00:03:26.419 --> 00:03:27.925
Well, we've been trying to get you on here for ages and ages and ages.
00:03:27.925 --> 00:03:28.949
Yes, I know, I know it's so busy at the moment.
00:03:28.968 --> 00:03:29.992
It's good to be here and, yes, we'll have some fun.
00:03:29.992 --> 00:03:32.580
Yeah, well, I'm really interested to see what your list comprises of now.
00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:38.960
The regular listeners know that I tend to have a guess at what I think people are going to pick.
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.567
My guess is there has to be at least one dobson trick in here.
00:03:43.567 --> 00:03:45.270
At least one.
00:03:45.270 --> 00:03:49.415
There's two, oh, there's two, okay, right.
00:03:49.415 --> 00:03:56.248
So if you're listening to this which you are, because that's what this is why don't we all have a guess?
00:03:56.580 --> 00:04:00.006
So why don't we guess what two Dobson tricks you would have put on there?
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.406
Should we leave them till the last, then?
00:04:02.967 --> 00:04:04.526
Yeah, leave those till the last.
00:04:04.526 --> 00:04:06.780
I think.
00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:09.502
See, oh yeah, there's just so many good Wayne Dobson tricks as well.
00:04:09.502 --> 00:04:11.965
Have a think what you think Mike is going to put in there.
00:04:11.965 --> 00:04:15.361
So we're going to give everyone a little synopsis.
00:04:15.401 --> 00:04:31.204
So if this is your first time joining us, the idea is that we're about to maroon Mike on his own island when he's there, he's allowed to take 8 tricks, 1 book and 1 non-magic item that he uses for magic particulars, like if there are sea turtles there, or whatever weird things he wants to put on his island.
00:04:31.204 --> 00:04:33.331
It's all in his own imagination.
00:04:33.331 --> 00:04:37.184
Uh, it's basically the list of tricks that he could not live without.
00:04:37.184 --> 00:04:43.766
So, with that being said, mike, let's whisk you away to your island and find out what you put in your first position a, a pack of cards.
00:04:43.766 --> 00:04:45.612
Everyone knows what I'm about to do.
00:04:45.612 --> 00:04:48.949
I'm about to be devil's advocate, but why a deck of cards first?
00:04:49.740 --> 00:05:06.028
Well, first of all, deck of cards allows you to do hundreds, if not thousands, of tricks, which sort of goes against the grain of Desert Island Discs 8 Tricks Only.
00:05:06.028 --> 00:05:11.913
But I think a deck of cards is the epitome of a magician.
00:05:11.913 --> 00:05:18.206
I mean, if a magician turned up without a deck of cards, you'd think they're saying it wrong.
00:05:18.206 --> 00:05:26.810
Even if they have them in their pocket and they just do iPad magic or Rubik's Cube magic, they will always have a deck of cards.
00:05:26.810 --> 00:05:36.630
I mean, as I grew up as a, as a kid and certainly into teenage years, uh, the amount of magicians that would say always carry a deck of cards.
00:05:36.630 --> 00:05:38.860
Not so much nowadays.
00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:46.670
People have different ways of showing magic, but um it, my first thing would be to carry a deck of cards.
00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:49.947
There's one trick I would always do with that deck of cards.
00:05:49.947 --> 00:05:57.983
The one routine would I would do and this will surprise you is etienne predier's card to pocket routine.
00:05:57.983 --> 00:06:23.588
I saw him literally, oh, 20 years ago, at least 20 years ago and I was so taken back by the amount of magic content that it had in just one card trick, which was basically, you know, a version of ambitious card, if you like, where it just kept coming back and it disappeared.
00:06:23.588 --> 00:06:25.612
And it came back and it disappeared.
00:06:25.612 --> 00:06:47.420
So I bought his lecture notes, I learned the moves and I've been doing it ever since and it is one of those tricks that I think personally has got me more bookings, and the structure of the trick itself itself, if you really study his manuscript.
00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:50.607
And then obviously he bought it out on video later on.
00:06:51.228 --> 00:06:56.329
Um, there's so much misdirection in there, it doesn't matter if people see it two or three times.
00:06:56.329 --> 00:07:02.906
They still can't understand how the card gets in the pocket, how the deck ends up in the pocket.
00:07:02.906 --> 00:07:15.026
There's some great moves in it, one of them being the Bernard Billis watch still, and that is I mean that alone.
00:07:15.026 --> 00:07:19.701
If you was to do that move alone, that's brilliant, yeah.
00:07:19.701 --> 00:07:29.524
But to incorporate it into a whole routine that Etienne has obviously sat down and thought about, I've added my take to it as well.
00:07:29.524 --> 00:07:37.930
There's certain things that didn't work for me that Etienne did and I've shown Etienne and he loves it.
00:07:37.930 --> 00:07:38.891
He thinks it's great.
00:07:38.891 --> 00:07:43.266
But you know you have to put your mark on all the magic you do.
00:07:43.266 --> 00:07:46.132
You can't just do what
the instructions say.
00:07:46.132 --> 00:07:51.612
So that would be the one trick that I would always do Great choice.
00:07:52.442 --> 00:07:54.730
I love the card under watch move.
00:07:54.730 --> 00:07:56.165
It's just brilliant.
00:07:56.165 --> 00:07:57.464
It's such a good move.
00:07:57.464 --> 00:08:01.687
Yeah, it's a great opening gambit there, and it does take us on to number two.
00:08:01.687 --> 00:08:03.266
So what did you put in your second position?
00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:09.793
My second position can a blank face deck of cards count as a trick?
00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:13.509
It can, as long as you give us a routine with it.
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:19.492
So we'll go to another great magician and demonstrator, mark Mason.
00:08:19.492 --> 00:08:26.413
And the reason I always use a blank face deck of cards is I never get a card signed out of a deck of cards.
00:08:26.413 --> 00:08:33.513
So I my my opening line and I'm sure if people want to use it, they can use it.
00:08:33.513 --> 00:08:34.942
I have no issue is?
00:08:34.942 --> 00:08:38.952
I walk up to people and you know they say how do you introduce yourself?
00:08:38.952 --> 00:08:44.601
So I walk up with a deck of cards in my hands and I say hi, I'm Mike, I'm a magician.
00:08:44.601 --> 00:08:48.172
I was booked by science, scienceo to come and entertain you for two minutes.
00:08:49.442 --> 00:08:53.549
I have a deck of cards here I would like most magicians would ask you to pick one.
00:08:53.549 --> 00:08:57.826
I don't want you to pick one, I want you to make me one.
00:08:57.826 --> 00:09:04.226
And then I say I pull out a blank faced card and I say I know the guy who makes these cards.
00:09:04.226 --> 00:09:06.542
The backs are the same but the front is blank.
00:09:06.542 --> 00:09:17.928
Give them a pen and say I want you to draw anything you like, make it as unique as possible and that's what I use in etienne's routine.
00:09:18.428 --> 00:09:20.652
So it's not a regular card.
00:09:20.652 --> 00:09:30.830
Um, I do use the aces a lot for certain tricks, um, so I don't want them to pick an ace, for instance, and then that buggers it up.
00:09:30.830 --> 00:09:39.923
Yes, I could use the kings or the queens or whatever, but inevitably when you ask someone to pick a card, they always pick the best ones and you've got no control over it.
00:09:39.923 --> 00:09:48.895
So using a blank face card is actually keeping the deck in order and I can use it for other tricks.
00:09:48.895 --> 00:09:54.871
So that's why I would also then take a blank face deck of cards.
00:09:54.871 --> 00:10:03.375
Mind you, that only gives me 104 goes at the trick, because 52 will be blank deck and then 52 would have to be signed.
00:10:03.375 --> 00:10:09.078
So it's not many, um hey ho, it's a.
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:09.740
Yeah, it's great.
00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:10.943
Do you get them to?
00:10:10.943 --> 00:10:15.943
So you get them to draw the design of a playing card onto the blank face definitely not.
00:10:16.144 --> 00:10:18.230
That is the one thing I try them.
00:10:18.230 --> 00:10:27.100
I try to get them not to do because inevitably they will say to me oh, do you want me to draw the four spades or something?
00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:30.869
And I go, no, no, no, I want you to draw something that you want to draw.
00:10:30.869 --> 00:10:33.966
So you could draw this guy standing here look, with his glass.
00:10:33.966 --> 00:10:35.533
You can draw those flowers over there.
00:10:35.533 --> 00:10:38.822
You can draw absolutely anything you want.
00:10:38.822 --> 00:10:40.625
Keep it clean, sir.
00:10:40.625 --> 00:10:44.791
It's a familyably.
00:10:44.850 --> 00:11:12.350
If I'm doing a late night gig, we get all sorts, but then I've got two of those cards, or you want me to pick that card?
00:11:12.350 --> 00:11:15.138
You know, people aren't stupid anymore, they've.
00:11:15.138 --> 00:11:16.822
They watch youtube and stuff like that.
00:11:16.822 --> 00:11:33.259
So getting them to draw me something that is totally unique and on the spot at that present moment means there's no way on this earth that I could duplicate it or I could force them it and it makes the magic that much stronger.
00:11:33.259 --> 00:11:39.211
When it goes in my pocket, comes out my pocket, the deck disappears, all it goes under.
00:11:39.211 --> 00:11:41.822
My watch does this, does that and it.
00:11:41.822 --> 00:11:51.534
It just makes it stronger, and so that's why I would take a blank face deck of cards with me as well.
00:11:53.581 --> 00:12:00.639
Okay, great, and would you use a normal deck but then put a blank card in there, or would you use the entire blank deck?
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:10.711
Yeah, so I introduce the blank card, explain to them that the backs are exactly the same, so I wouldn't know the difference between their card and the cards in the deck.
00:12:10.711 --> 00:12:13.288
If they want to examine them, let them do it.
00:12:13.288 --> 00:12:15.047
I mean, it's completely examinable.
00:12:15.047 --> 00:12:23.870
They can check to make sure there's no marks on it, but the face will never be seen, so it'll only be seen at the reveal times.
00:12:23.870 --> 00:12:26.427
But they will know it's their card.
00:12:26.427 --> 00:12:32.710
They will know 100% without any doubt that it's their card and nobody else's.
00:12:32.710 --> 00:12:38.308
I've not used the duplicate, I've not forced the card onto them or anything like that.
00:12:38.308 --> 00:12:39.332
They know it's theirs.
00:12:39.332 --> 00:12:42.984
So that does make the magic so much more stronger.
00:12:42.984 --> 00:12:45.631
And then obviously, they get to keep it at the end.
00:12:46.041 --> 00:12:48.570
And that was all inspired by Mark Mason.
00:12:48.570 --> 00:12:56.725
He always used to carry a few blank face cards in his top pocket for that reason and that reason alone.
00:12:56.725 --> 00:13:02.107
And that was to say look, you know, most tech
magicians will ask you to pick a card.
00:13:02.107 --> 00:13:02.910
I'm not going to do that.
00:13:02.910 --> 00:13:04.206
I want you to make me a card.
00:13:04.206 --> 00:13:07.970
I mean, it's a great line and they do get taken aback by it.
00:13:07.970 --> 00:13:08.490
They're like what?
00:13:08.490 --> 00:13:10.626
And it makes it interesting as well.
00:13:10.626 --> 00:13:16.049
You've got to make your magic interesting, especially when you're doing it live, not on TikTok or anything like that.
00:13:16.049 --> 00:13:18.539
You've got to engage with the audience.
00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:21.951
The first rule of thumb is to connect.
00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:27.442
If you don't connect, they don't care.
00:13:27.442 --> 00:13:29.167
Yeah, that's great, great second choice, and it leads us nicely into number three.
00:13:29.167 --> 00:13:30.630
So what did you put in your third position?
00:13:30.630 --> 00:13:32.143
Coins across.
00:13:32.783 --> 00:13:38.196
So obviously it'll be four coins and, um, I love coins across.
00:13:38.196 --> 00:13:47.000
Um, so I do a version that uses, uh, a gimmick, but it's not the usual gimmick, so one of the coins is a backflip.
00:13:47.000 --> 00:14:07.153
The reason I I love coins across issues is done in the spectators and it goes from my hand to the spectators and, and because of the gimmick that one of the phases is visual, so they see the coin disappear and appear on the spectators hands, you can't pay for that kind of reaction.
00:14:07.153 --> 00:14:10.590
I mean, people lose their minds.
00:14:10.590 --> 00:14:13.384
Yeah, they try to.
00:14:13.384 --> 00:14:17.013
They try to dissemble it and work out how it's done.
00:14:17.013 --> 00:14:21.379
Well, you're so skillful with coins, you must have flicked it across really fast.
00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:29.001
Well, no, I didn't flicked it across really fast.
00:14:29.001 --> 00:14:29.342
Well, no, I didn't.
00:14:29.342 --> 00:14:33.697
Um, I've had people ask me to take my jacket off because they think it goes up up my arm, across my manly chest, down the other arm.
00:14:33.697 --> 00:14:35.581
You know all that sort of stuff.
00:14:35.581 --> 00:14:41.913
And it's the third phase, so it's the second to last, the penultimate phase.
00:14:42.725 --> 00:14:46.423
Um, people have said to me that have seen it, said why don't you do it as a last phase?
00:14:46.423 --> 00:14:55.544
I want them to be, I want the third phase is the last phase is weaker always has been in coins across.
00:14:55.544 --> 00:14:58.551
But I don't want them to remember the last phase.
00:14:58.551 --> 00:15:19.760
I want them to remember the routine as a whole and that bit where that coin just disappeared out of his hand and appeared in my hand and um, and I should say hand, sorry it's my uh, my uh, south london accent, but um, I love it, I love it.
00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:20.543
I love it to bits.
00:15:20.623 --> 00:15:21.144
It's great.
00:15:21.144 --> 00:15:24.188
It's got
a bit of david roff in it, obviously.
00:15:24.188 --> 00:15:31.629
Um, craig petty did a great dvd called flipped, so it's got a bit of that in it.
00:15:31.629 --> 00:15:38.865
It all culminates into one routine and, uh, people, people lose their mind over it.
00:15:38.865 --> 00:15:41.630
It is literally, you know, spectacular.
00:15:41.630 --> 00:15:42.754
It's like camera trickery.
00:15:42.754 --> 00:15:48.409
It's the nearest and closest you're going to get to actual special effects without using special effects.
00:15:48.409 --> 00:15:49.932
I love it to bits.
00:15:49.932 --> 00:15:51.322
I can't recommend it enough.
00:15:51.322 --> 00:15:53.005
A lot of people don't get on with the gimmick.
00:15:53.005 --> 00:15:55.721
Eric jones has done some great stuff with it.
00:15:55.721 --> 00:16:00.226
So, yeah, coins across is my third choice.
00:16:01.227 --> 00:16:01.548
Great.
00:16:01.548 --> 00:16:08.164
Now one of the biggest debates when it comes to coins across, which sounds really sad, but you know we're magicians.
00:16:08.164 --> 00:16:11.796
Um, what, what coin do you prefer to use?
00:16:11.796 --> 00:16:14.785
Do you prefer to go for a larger coin when using coins across?
00:16:14.785 --> 00:16:23.210
So, because some people think it's more visual using a larger coin, whereas some people think that it brings focus on a coin if it's slightly smaller.
00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:25.214
So what's your view on that?
00:16:26.941 --> 00:16:28.226
I'll let you into a little secret.
00:16:28.226 --> 00:16:35.552
With coins I practice the routine with every shape and size.
00:16:35.552 --> 00:16:41.051
So it doesn't matter what coin I've got, I'll use it.
00:16:41.051 --> 00:16:44.562
So I've gone from dollars to half dollars, I'll use it.
00:16:44.562 --> 00:16:45.522
So I've gone from dollars to half dollars.
00:16:45.522 --> 00:16:50.163
I've got 50 P's, 10 P's, two pound coins.
00:16:50.163 --> 00:16:51.985
I've done them all.
00:16:51.985 --> 00:16:58.788
If the gimmick is made in that particular coin, I've got it and I've practiced it with it.
00:16:58.788 --> 00:17:03.850
So it just goes it.
00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:06.692
Just I don't know how to explain it.
00:17:06.791 --> 00:17:11.074
I'm a bit anal when it comes to things like learning a routine.
00:17:11.074 --> 00:17:18.616
If a routine goes into my repertoire, I would like to think that I am good at all aspects of it.
00:17:18.616 --> 00:17:30.209
So if there are versions of it, I will get as many versions as I think I need to be good at it.
00:17:30.209 --> 00:17:41.894
I've had, I've had things where people have gone I mean Gary Jones has got a fantastic, fantastic switch where you think you've you've examined all the coins, ok, and I learned that from his free fly routine.
00:17:41.894 --> 00:17:54.147
You've examined all the coins, okay, and I learned that from his free fly routine, and I use that for coins across.
00:17:54.147 --> 00:18:13.005
And I've had people actually say use my two pound coin, use my 50 P, use my 10 P and rather than go oh no, it's okay, you know you can only see a trick once, that sort of trick Use my 10p and rather than go oh no, it's okay, you know you can only see a trick once, that sort of trick you can show over and over again, they will never get it.
00:18:13.005 --> 00:18:19.325
I take the coins so I'm covering my bases.
00:18:19.325 --> 00:18:20.147
That's what I'm doing.
00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:45.271
Being a salesman, growing up as a salesman, uh, talking to people all my life, uh, and interacting with people, I've I've taken those skills and put them into magic and I think, you know, sometimes people worry too much about what ifs, what ifs don't exist, so don't worry about them.
00:18:45.271 --> 00:18:48.075
You know that, that you know what if.
00:18:48.075 --> 00:18:48.635
What if?
00:18:48.635 --> 00:18:49.276
I mean?
00:18:49.276 --> 00:19:07.967
Um, recently, uh, wayne and I had a debate about people, um, examining props and he made a very good uh point about that and he said the only people that ask to examine props, or can it be examined, are magicians.
00:19:07.967 --> 00:19:14.900
Yeah, not spectators, standard lay people.
00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:16.023
They don't ask it.
00:19:16.023 --> 00:19:26.968
If you do the trick right and you've put in all the steps before you do the trick, you will not be asked.
00:19:26.968 --> 00:19:29.307
Nobody asked to examine the coins.
00:19:29.307 --> 00:19:30.744
Nobody ever does.
00:19:31.267 --> 00:19:33.166
You know I'm not talking about coins that given to me.
00:19:33.166 --> 00:19:34.925
I'm talking about my coins.
00:19:34.925 --> 00:19:36.049
I have a line.
00:19:36.049 --> 00:19:38.630
Can you tell me what these are?
00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:40.279
They're four, two pound coins.
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:41.844
That's my preferred coin of choice.
00:19:41.923 --> 00:19:49.051
If, if you want to um a coin cause we live in the uk and if you bring out half dollars, people go half dollars.
00:19:49.051 --> 00:19:49.432
What are they?
00:19:49.432 --> 00:19:52.102
Um, and most people haven't been to america.
00:19:52.102 --> 00:19:57.839
But, um, if, if you bring out for two pound coins and I go uh, can you tell me what they are?
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:03.809
For two pound coins, eight pounds, yes, that's my kebab money for when I leave here.
00:20:03.809 --> 00:20:06.515
You know, you put a little laugh on the end of it.
00:20:07.903 --> 00:20:10.574
Uh, everybody says, oh, I collect two pounds, can I keep them?
00:20:10.574 --> 00:20:15.807
And I go no, I've got another hundred times to do this point to the rest of the venue.
00:20:15.807 --> 00:20:20.121
Um, so again, it's another thing that stops them in their tracks.
00:20:20.121 --> 00:20:22.182
But they've, they've seen the coins.
00:20:22.182 --> 00:20:23.403
They haven't touched them.
00:20:23.403 --> 00:20:24.704
They're on the table.
00:20:24.704 --> 00:20:28.627
If I haven't
got a table, I'll put them in their hands.
00:20:28.627 --> 00:20:34.472
I mean, they don't sit there and go oh, they are two-pound coins.
00:20:34.472 --> 00:20:36.094
They use them every day.
00:20:36.094 --> 00:20:37.894
They've seen them every single day.
00:20:37.894 --> 00:20:40.356
They don't need to look into them.
00:20:40.356 --> 00:20:45.332
They don't even know what I'm going to do with them yet.
00:20:45.352 --> 00:20:46.656
So why would they need to look at them?
00:20:46.656 --> 00:20:53.248
And by the time I finish the trick, they think they've seen them, they think they've examined them.
00:20:53.248 --> 00:20:54.111
They won't ask me to examine them again.
00:20:54.111 --> 00:21:10.151
It's, it's psychology, it is psychology, it's psychology yourselves, if you, if you can uh make people, if you think that they're gimmicked it's the only way I can think, uh explaining this they're gonna pick that up.
00:21:10.151 --> 00:21:22.372
If, if you don't, if you think they're two pound coins, they're two pound coins, you know, and they're not going to question you any other way.
00:21:22.372 --> 00:21:26.359
And so this idea of, oh, can it be examined?
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:33.876
And I get this all the time when I'm dealing them in um, my question.
00:21:33.876 --> 00:21:36.362
Then I hit back with a question say why?
00:21:36.362 --> 00:21:38.726
Why does it need to be examined?
00:21:38.726 --> 00:21:48.011
But it's a thing that people have, it's a psyche that the magic community have picked up and they can't shake it off.
00:21:48.011 --> 00:21:50.967
I wish they could, because you don't need to examine stuff.
00:21:50.967 --> 00:21:56.521
I mean, how many times when you perform do you get someone saying can I have a look at that?
00:21:58.605 --> 00:22:00.028
Very, very rarely yeah.
00:22:00.409 --> 00:22:01.090
Very rarely.
00:22:01.090 --> 00:22:31.093
So if, if you do get that a lot, then you need to look at your performance and the way you introduce the trick, because that's where the weakness is, in my opinion I'm not saying this is gospel, but in my opinion and in Wayne's, wayne's got the same thing If you've not sold the trick or the props before you started, then that's where the weakness lies and that's what you've got to do.
00:22:31.093 --> 00:22:47.502
Obviously, there are tricks that you buy that can be examined, but you treat them exactly the same as tricks that can't be examined and therefore, when they say can I examine them, you go yeah, sure, but I'm a risk taker as well.
00:22:47.502 --> 00:22:52.009
I give them gimmicks and I've never been caught.
00:22:52.009 --> 00:23:05.453
Never been caught, and I think that's because of the foundation I've set before I do the trick, because you know if they think there's a trapdoor, they'll look for one.
00:23:07.558 --> 00:23:11.476
Yeah, if they think there's a wire, they'll look for one.
00:23:11.476 --> 00:23:20.795
But if you, um, if you treat it that there isn't a wire or there isn't a trap door, they're not going to look for it.
00:23:20.795 --> 00:23:24.920
They only take off what's coming from you, not from anybody else.
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:33.670
Um, you have one or two exceptions, people that just don't like to be fooled because it interferes with their intelligence or whatever.
00:23:33.670 --> 00:23:38.234
But, um again, you can deal with those by making them part of your act.
00:23:38.234 --> 00:23:44.695
It's just life experience, to be honest with you, that's all it is.
00:23:44.695 --> 00:23:51.273
Anyway, I've waffled on far too long on that, but Coins Across is my fourth choice.
00:23:51.964 --> 00:23:53.049
Yeah, it's a great choice.
00:23:53.049 --> 00:24:01.457
And yeah, you made some really, really interesting points there, especially when it comes to handing gaffes to the general public.
00:24:01.457 --> 00:24:05.375
If they're assuming something is normal, then to them it's normal.
00:24:05.375 --> 00:24:06.630
They don't know what they're looking for.
00:24:06.630 --> 00:24:08.692
So that brings us on to number four.
00:24:08.692 --> 00:24:09.865
What's in your fourth position?
00:24:10.205 --> 00:24:15.657
Fourth choice is a trick called Back to the Future by Wayne Dobson.
00:24:15.657 --> 00:24:21.536
Now, nobody will know what it is because it hasn't been released yet.
00:24:21.536 --> 00:24:24.413
It's going to be released at Blackpool.
00:24:24.413 --> 00:24:41.491
I've been road testing this trick for the best part of 15 months now, of 15 months now, and it's one of those tricks that has all the elements.
00:24:41.593 --> 00:24:42.393
It's a card trick.
00:24:42.393 --> 00:24:52.761
It is a card trick and could have been my choice with the deck of cards, but it does have a gimmick.
00:24:52.761 --> 00:25:04.713
So, basically, you will spread out a deck of cards and they're in a new deck order, yeah, and you will say picture this moment.
00:25:04.713 --> 00:25:05.954
This is your future.
00:25:05.954 --> 00:25:20.090
Yeah, uh, the cards are then shuffled by the spectator spanned out and, uh, you have two spectators involved in this, uh, and they both pick a card, but they don't look at them quite yet.
00:25:20.090 --> 00:25:32.813
You then gather the cards up, uh, you ask the spectator to look at their card and remember it, and then show one another's card to one another so that, if you do forget, the other person will remember it.
00:25:32.813 --> 00:25:34.978
Show the audience whatever they want to do.
00:25:34.978 --> 00:25:45.856
The cards are then put back into the deck by the spectator and the magician then shows that there's nothing wrong with the box.
00:25:45.856 --> 00:25:47.131
Well, they handle everything.
00:25:47.131 --> 00:25:57.326
So you take the cards, you spread them out in front of you, you remove two cards and they match the spectators cards.
00:25:57.326 --> 00:26:02.765
You then ribbon, spread the cards again and they're all in new deck order.
00:26:02.765
--> 00:26:06.571
So that's why you go back to the future.
00:26:07.894 --> 00:26:08.335
Do you get it?
00:26:08.335 --> 00:26:09.115
Do you get it?
00:26:09.115 --> 00:26:09.717
It's good.
00:26:09.717 --> 00:26:11.380
Uh, I love the trick.
00:26:11.380 --> 00:26:13.528
It blows lay people away.
00:26:13.528 --> 00:26:18.459
They just don't understand because you show them a deck of cards that are in new deck order.
00:26:18.459 --> 00:26:39.482
You explain what new deck order is Ace to king, ace to king, ace to king, ace to king and then you get them to shuffle them, pick a card, and they can literally pick a card that they like, or they can randomly pick one out it's entirely up to them that they like or they can randomly pick one out, it's entirely up to them.
00:26:39.482 --> 00:26:50.513
Um, and then, um, uh, you, uh, you get them to put them back in the deck and then, yeah, you find the cards and then, when you spread it again, it's all back in new deck order.
00:26:50.534 --> 00:26:51.836
So, yeah, showed a few magicians.
00:26:51.836 --> 00:26:55.060
They're like wow, it's fantastic.
00:26:55.060 --> 00:27:02.494
I mean, this is Wayne's creative imagination and it started off as a completely different trick.
00:27:02.494 --> 00:27:07.896
It was completely different, but it's, I love it.
00:27:07.896 --> 00:27:09.404
So it's gone in my repertoire.
00:27:09.404 --> 00:27:15.373
It does mean you need a table and I do obviously pick my moments.
00:27:15.373 --> 00:27:24.372
You know, sometimes when someone asks me at the end of the night, oh, show us one more, and I've got, you know, a few people around and I want to sit down.
00:27:24.372 --> 00:27:25.830
Let me show you this.
00:27:25.830 --> 00:27:39.059
That's that kind of trick when I'm with family and friends and they want to see a trick, that's the trick I'll do, because there's no way of working out how it's done when I'm with family and friends and they want to see a trick.
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:41.065
that's the trick I'll do, Because there's no way of working out how it's done.
00:27:41.065 --> 00:27:45.960
It's just that really special trick for that intimate group of people at the end of the night, something that will really play on their memory.
00:27:46.785 --> 00:27:50.096
Yeah, I've got a lot of them, but this one stands out.
00:27:50.096 --> 00:27:59.111
It was a eureka moment for Wayne and and I when we uh, when we sort of like messed about with the method.
00:27:59.111 --> 00:28:15.039
As I said before, it was a completely different trick before and, um, you know, again it's got that kind of like um camera trickery edge to it where you're sitting at a table and everything in.
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:17.710
Well, how the hell has he done that, you know?
00:28:17.710 --> 00:28:21.678
And, um, yeah, it's brilliant, it's brilliant.
00:28:21.678 --> 00:28:23.790
So that that is my fourth choice.
00:28:23.790 --> 00:28:24.930
I love it.
00:28:24.930 --> 00:28:34.891
I'm not going to speak too much about it because we want to do a big thing for Blackpool, but if you're in Blackpool, come to the stand and I'll damn it for you and you'll see how good it is.
00:28:34.891 --> 00:28:44.479
And then, obviously, the trailer will come out, and so on and so forth for people that can't get to Blackpool, but it will come out on the same day so they won't miss out.
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:45.980
Yeah, nice.
00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:47.882
It's always nice when we have one to look forward to.
00:28:47.882 --> 00:28:54.155
I know, on Darren's episode he mentioned a book that isn't out yet.
00:28:54.155 --> 00:28:58.152
Um, yeah, we had lots of messages of people saying you know who's bringing the book out, where's it coming out.
00:28:58.152 --> 00:29:06.145
So, yeah, it's always really nice to anticipate something coming out so we can look forward to it, uh, but that does bring us over your halfway point.
00:29:06.145 --> 00:29:09.611
So now we're on number five uh, number five.
00:29:10.151 --> 00:29:13.276
Uh might not be known by a lot of people.
00:29:13.276 --> 00:29:17.320
It's called the Legacy Fred Emergency Kit.
00:29:17.320 --> 00:29:32.858
This is by a guy called Sebastian with an H and he runs a magic company called Subdivided Studios in the States.
00:29:32.858 --> 00:29:41.539
Now, I met Sebastian at Magic Live live and he showed me this kit and I've used it ever since.
00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:57.596
It's a thread system that allows you to make your own loops, so I will have an infinite supply of loops, which means I have an infinite supply of magic.
00:29:57.596 --> 00:30:10.596
So I use loops all the time, I use invisible thread all the time and I do all sorts of things with it.
00:30:10.596 --> 00:30:12.308
Did you want a list?
00:30:13.732 --> 00:30:15.731
of stuff, so let's have one.
00:30:15.731 --> 00:30:17.319
So give us one.
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:25.057
Your your main routine with loops, pk touch love it, especially at weddings.
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:31.828
Um, you ask if the bride and groom are connected, you know, are they spiritual?
00:30:31.828 --> 00:30:34.996
You know, are they, uh, life partners?
00:30:34.996 --> 00:30:35.436
Are they?
00:30:35.436 --> 00:30:37.627
You know all that sort of stuff.
00:30:37.627 --> 00:30:53.573
And then you say, well, I'm just going to try a little experiment and I'll just do a standard pk chuck, touch where you know you, you touch them on the nose or whatever, or on the forehead, and, um, obviously get their permission first.
00:30:53.573 --> 00:30:55.037
You know, times have changed.
00:30:55.037 --> 00:30:58.214
Now you can't just go in and touch people's noses.
00:30:58.214 --> 00:31:00.452
You've got to ask them if it's okay.
00:31:00.452 --> 00:31:05.676
But again, the reaction I mean it's not so much the bride and groom.
00:31:05.676 --> 00:31:10.336
Well, the groom sees it, but the bride doesn't see anything.
00:31:10.336 --> 00:31:16.056
So she just feeds off
of the reaction of everybody else.
00:31:16.056 --> 00:31:17.987
They're all going he didn't touch you.
00:31:18.047 --> 00:31:22.180
He didn't do this, he did it, and they're going absolutely mad.
00:31:22.180 --> 00:31:24.226
So it's a fantastic little routine.
00:31:24.226 --> 00:31:26.190
There's so many different versions out there.
00:31:26.190 --> 00:31:31.549
Um, there are versions without the use of gimmicks, there are versions with the use of gimmick.
00:31:31.549 --> 00:31:42.234
I know you do a version without gimmicks, but when you're, it's really difficult, because I've tried to do the non-gimmick version and I panicked.
00:31:42.234 --> 00:31:47.076
I don't know why, but I did and it just put me off it.
00:31:47.076 --> 00:31:50.534
Maybe I should talk to you about it, we should have a chat.
00:31:50.534 --> 00:31:52.471
And then I saw Magic Ballet.
00:31:52.471 --> 00:31:59.011
I think it's in his penguin lecture, if anybody wants a reference, and, uh, check out his penguin lecture.
00:31:59.011 --> 00:31:59.772
It's fantastic.
00:31:59.772 --> 00:32:04.648
Anyway, he's another dem god and I've been doing that routine ever since.
00:32:04.648 --> 00:32:12.111
Obviously, again, I've put my touch and twist to it, but it is predominantly mostly magic ballets stuff.
00:32:12.111 --> 00:32:14.034
So, uh, I love it.
00:32:14.034 --> 00:32:19.192
So that's what I would take as my fifth choice is the emergency kit.
00:32:24.207 --> 00:32:27.178

Alakazamcouk cheers great well, that's a great number five as well.
00:33:23.281 --> 00:33:24.525
It's one that we've not had before.
00:33:24.525 --> 00:33:32.550
So if anyone does use loops, that's a really good one for people to go and check out, if if that's something that they think See.
00:33:33.173 --> 00:33:42.007
I thought,
being on a desert island yeah, I don't know if they'll have any natives or anything it would be.
00:33:42.007 --> 00:33:43.609
You know you could be the.
00:33:43.609 --> 00:33:51.212
You'll either be burnt or worshipped, yeah, so it's sort of like.
00:33:51.212 --> 00:33:59.999
It's sort of like covers both bases, so you don't have to be on it too long or you live like a god Happy days, great choice.
00:34:00.905 --> 00:34:02.392
So that does bring us to number six.
00:34:02.392 --> 00:34:04.010
So what's in your sixth position?
00:34:04.744 --> 00:34:10.277
My sixth position is Turbo Stick and all its incarnations.
00:34:10.277 --> 00:34:14.132
I suppose, like you know the move.
00:34:14.132 --> 00:34:16.211
But Turbo Stick is great.
00:34:16.211 --> 00:34:19.085
I've again, I've used it for years.
00:34:19.085 --> 00:34:31.585
I actually broke down the belief system of a room of surgeons with that trick and they were meant to be you know, they're meant to be the most sort of like cleverest people on the planet.
00:34:31.585 --> 00:34:49.693
It was at Twickenham Stadium and they had this get together surgeons from all over the world, all into heart surgery and, yeah, one of the biggest round of applause I've got, they actually believed I did magic with TurboStick.
00:34:51.672 --> 00:34:58.739
And going back I mean it goes back to you, you know, can it be examined before and after?
00:34:58.739 --> 00:35:04.844
Yeah, if they are, and they did ask to examine it because that's the kind of people they are.
00:35:04.844 --> 00:35:09.373
They want answers to the the problem of how the hell's he doing it.
00:35:09.373 --> 00:35:10.878
And you go, yeah, have a look.
00:35:10.878 --> 00:35:16.347
And then looking for trapdoors and all sorts of things, but they're not there.
00:35:16.867 --> 00:35:19.833
But turbo stick is a staple of mine that I've used.
00:35:19.833 --> 00:35:27.639
Um, well, in a dare came up with a version of it using a dry white marker.
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:31.487
Uh, with um supreme magic, many, many years ago.
00:35:31.487 --> 00:35:45.311
Obviously it's been refined and Richard Sanders and Leo came up with a great routine and handling and that's the handling I use.
00:35:45.311 --> 00:35:53.039
My reveal is not the sort of like sponge ball or you know another trick.
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:55.454
It's the pen that I used at the very beginning.
00:35:55.454 --> 00:35:59.715
So you know, I say to them, how's it done?
00:35:59.715 --> 00:36:03.813
It's all done with the pen, and they're like how the hell did the pen come out the back?
00:36:03.813 --> 00:36:05.570
But yeah, I've been using that.
00:36:05.570 --> 00:36:07.168
So that is.
00:36:07.168 --> 00:36:09.923
I love that trick and there's so many gags.
00:36:09.923 --> 00:36:16.318
I mean the gags you can do during the performances is unbelievable.
00:36:16.318 --> 00:36:21.054
So love, love, turbo Stick, love it.
00:36:21.635 --> 00:36:22.478
Yeah, it's a great choice.
00:36:22.478 --> 00:36:26.155
It's one that I think we've had a couple of times now.
00:36:26.155 --> 00:36:32.070
Certainly, I think we've even had it on the smaller version of this, which is Stranded with a Stranger.
00:36:32.070 --> 00:36:34.333
I think we've had it mentioned on there as well.
00:36:34.333 --> 00:36:35.847
Yeah, it's a superb trick.
00:36:35.847 --> 00:36:37.170
It's just a.
00:36:37.170 --> 00:36:44.731
I mean really it's quite an alien prop, but how it's being used is quite normal, if that makes sense.
00:36:44.751 --> 00:36:49.967
So it sort of normalizes the prop yeah, well, I have a few lines, I won't give them all away.
00:36:49.967 --> 00:37:06.728
But, um, you know, I ask people what they think it is and, um, I say it's a, an imac stick, for you know, taking the hair off your legs quick, it's a little cricket bat for me, little cricket bat set, um, there's all sorts of it.
00:37:06.728 --> 00:37:07.630
You can pee on it.
00:37:07.630 --> 00:37:09.275
It tells you if you're pregnant or not.
00:37:09.275 --> 00:37:19.085
I mean all those, all those gags, um, but then I say it's a plastic, it's a plastic paddle, and give it to them to look at.
00:37:19.085 --> 00:37:22.813
You know, it is what it is and this is a pen.
00:37:22.813 --> 00:37:45.110
It is what it is, which, uh, one of the biggest additions I made to turbo stick, which, um, might be of interest to people, is dave bonzel makes um dry white markers into Sharpies and that was the best addition I made to it because obviously I'm using Sharpies all the time.
00:37:45.110 --> 00:37:51.476
So I bring out a Sharpie pen but they don't know it's a dry white marker.
00:37:51.476 --> 00:37:53.373
They think it's the same pen I've been using all the time.
00:37:53.373 --> 00:37:56.490
I'll do the gag about the permanent ink.
00:37:56.490 --> 00:37:57.534
It says permanent ink.
00:37:57.534 --> 00:37:58.416
Oh no, that's rubbed out.
00:37:58.416 --> 00:38:00.349
You know, you've got all the gag.
00:38:00.965 --> 00:38:04.356
They sound hack to us but lay, people love them.
00:38:04.356 --> 00:38:07.393
You never underestimate the hack gag.
00:38:07.393 --> 00:38:12.273
It is very strong and, again, it allows you to connect.
00:38:12.273 --> 00:38:14.632
You get people laughing.
00:38:14.632 --> 00:38:20.184
Wayne has always said to me you get people laughing at the beginning and you walk away with them laughing.
00:38:20.184 --> 00:38:26.065
You can do anything because they love it.
00:38:26.065 --> 00:38:31.545
They love, they love that, that thing, and you are there primarily to entertain.
00:38:33.210 --> 00:38:34.514
You're a magician second.
00:38:34.514 --> 00:38:36.427
Yeah, so you know to entertain.
00:38:36.427 --> 00:38:37.067
You're a magician second.
00:38:37.067 --> 00:38:43.893
Yeah, so you know, using those mantras and that trick, it's happy days.
00:38:43.893 --> 00:38:44.333
You get.
00:38:44.333 --> 00:38:48.315
You know you get what you need and come up
with your own gags as well.
00:38:48.315 --> 00:38:49.757
It's not difficult.
00:38:49.757 --> 00:38:51.599
I'm no comedy genius.
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:53.721
I mean Wayne and Michael Fitch make a joke about me being a comedy genius.
00:38:53.721 --> 00:38:54.260
I'm no comedy genius.
00:38:54.260 --> 00:38:54.420
I mean.
00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:57.284
Wayne and Michael Fitch make a joke about me being a comedy genius.
00:38:57.284 --> 00:39:01.813
I'm no comedy genius, but every now and then I have my moments.
00:39:01.813 --> 00:39:04.307
So it's.
00:39:04.307 --> 00:39:09.619
I leave the comedy to them, to mostly Wayne, because he's obviously the comedy genius.
00:39:09.619 --> 00:39:16.391
But yeah, yeah, it's turbo stick Brilliant, brilliant, little effect.
00:39:16.391 --> 00:39:20.652
Carry it in your pocket, doesn't take up any pocket space, great stuff.
00:39:21.755 --> 00:39:25.074
Great choice, and it brings us to the tail end of your eight trick.
00:39:25.074 --> 00:39:26.230
So we're on number seven.
00:39:27.146 --> 00:39:28.090
Seven, seven.
00:39:28.090 --> 00:39:28.552
Here we go.
00:39:28.552 --> 00:39:38.873
So number seven is Ring Flight Revolution by Dave Bonzo, because it's such a good effect I can't remember when I started using it.
00:39:38.873 --> 00:39:52.838
I mean it's a blur, but I still have the same prop I bought from Dave all those years ago when he first started, before Blackpool.
00:39:52.838 --> 00:39:54.603
Before you know, he'd walk around with it in his pocket and he'd show a few of.
00:39:54.603 --> 00:39:58.592
Before you know, you'd walk around with it in his pocket and he'd show a few of us.
00:39:58.592 --> 00:40:00.418
And we go, we want one.
00:40:02.846 --> 00:40:08.210
And I don't know how many thousands of pounds I paid for it and that probably it wasn't that much.
00:40:08.210 --> 00:40:13.175
But, um, I've used it ever since and it's never, ever let me down.
00:40:13.175 --> 00:40:26.177
I've got a El Duco reel and it's broke, yeah, but this has never, ever let me down.
00:40:26.177 --> 00:40:27.605
Never let me down.
00:40:27.605 --> 00:40:32.253
You oil it, you give it a bit of maintenance every now and again and it will never let you down.
00:40:32.253 --> 00:40:36.005
And I think he even does a refurbishment.
00:40:36.005 --> 00:40:50.139
And I know for a fact that when you buy a refurbishment you're actually buying a new ring flight, because I worked with him a few years before he closed the shop down.
00:40:51.105 --> 00:40:57.978
So if you want to, if you want a ring flight, I can't highly recommend a ring flight revolution.
00:40:57.978 --> 00:40:58.918
It's brilliant.
00:40:58.918 --> 00:41:02.344
I think it's because of its reliability, more than anything.
00:41:02.344 --> 00:41:04.833
I mean ring flight is ring flight is ring flight.
00:41:04.833 --> 00:41:06.291
You know it's the.
00:41:06.291 --> 00:41:06.753
More than anything.
00:41:06.753 --> 00:41:07.880
I mean ring flight is ring
flight is ring flight.
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:08.764
You know it's the same thing.
00:41:08.764 --> 00:41:16.096
But it's the quality of the props and they look so natural and so organic.
00:41:16.844 --> 00:41:28.324
Everybody carries keys, so to get into ring flight and do a simple trick that lasts 30 seconds, I mean I don't do, uh, dave's full routine.
00:41:28.324 --> 00:41:36.652
He does the full routine where it goes into his wallet and, you know, little hand comes out and nicks it and all that, which is fabulous, it's fantastic.
00:41:36.652 --> 00:41:37.474
I love it.
00:41:37.474 --> 00:41:40.166
I love watching it and it's a great routine.
00:41:40.166 --> 00:41:41.469
It's online, you can watch it.
00:41:41.469 --> 00:41:45.519
But, um, I just do the the ring fly.
00:41:45.579 --> 00:41:48.806
I do segue into another trick, obviously not part of my list.
00:41:48.806 --> 00:41:51.652
Um, uh, the key by wayne dobson.
00:41:51.652 --> 00:41:56.039
Um, I mean, that trick as well is a astounding.
00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:58.751
You know, again, camera tricker I'm.
00:41:58.751 --> 00:42:08.909
I'm starting to realize that, uh, something that gives me sort of like camera trickery type reveals is the way it go.
00:42:08.909 --> 00:42:10.432
You know where's the cameras there in here.
00:42:10.432 --> 00:42:13.266
I'm not on tv, I'm right in front of you it?
00:42:13.266 --> 00:42:16.373
You know, um, so yeah, I segue into the key.
00:42:16.373 --> 00:42:21.949
Um, because I've got the ring, so why not?
00:42:21.949 --> 00:42:25.936
You know, you've lent me the ring and I don't go for diamond rings or anything like that.
00:42:25.936 --> 00:42:34.574
I go for bands because, you know, you hear all these horror stories of people saying that had a 29 carat diamond stone in it.
00:42:34.574 --> 00:42:35.818
He's like, yeah, did it.
00:42:35.818 --> 00:42:38.369
And then you've got to prove that it didn't.
00:42:38.369 --> 00:42:40.596
So, nah, keep away from stones.
00:42:48.445 --> 00:42:49.246
Ask for a wedding band.
00:42:49.246 --> 00:42:50.889
So yeah, ring flight revolution by dave bonzel is my number seven.
00:42:50.889 --> 00:42:52.251
Yep, so that brings us to your, your number eight.
00:42:52.251 --> 00:42:53.856
But I'm gonna.
00:42:53.856 --> 00:42:57.590
I'm gonna have a guess about who created this one.
00:42:57.590 --> 00:43:02.465
Ready, I think this is wayne dobson can you see through it or something?
00:43:02.704 --> 00:43:04.951
it's one of his latest ones, funnily enough.
00:43:04.951 --> 00:43:17.338
I say I don't change my repertoire very often, but when I do, it has to be a good trick, and the one I do, and I usually finish a close-up session.
00:43:17.338 --> 00:43:19.072
You know, doing the different groups.
00:43:19.072 --> 00:43:21.132
I finished a group on this.
00:43:21.132 --> 00:43:28.045
I used to use the Chop Cup for anybody who's interested, great effect.
00:43:28.045 --> 00:43:29.007
But now I use snooker sorcery.
00:43:31.110 --> 00:43:38.208
Um, it has all the elements to wrap up, uh, a set.
00:43:38.208 --> 00:43:44.858
You know whether it's 15 minutes or 20 minutes, parlor or 40-minute show on stage.
00:43:44.858 --> 00:44:02.018
You've got five, potentially six, spectators involved, four with choosing the balls, one actually doing all the administration for you, so you're not even involved in it at all.
00:44:02.018 --> 00:44:13.112
You know, and it's a very simple trick, if you't know it, check out the trailers but, um, you know, four colored balls are chosen.
00:44:13.112 --> 00:44:15.137
They're put into small bags.
00:44:15.137 --> 00:44:17.206
The small bags are put into a big bag.
00:44:17.206 --> 00:44:24.157
The administrator, the person that you've got helping you, then chooses one of the uh little bags at random.
00:44:24.157 --> 00:44:44.137
Uh, you then, um, take the ball out and, using the power of nlp or or, you know, being a psychic, whatever you, whatever you want to put your twist on you, can you're able to work out which ball belongs to which person, and it is a simple trick.
00:44:44.778 --> 00:44:51.996
But it doesn't use electronics, so it will never, ever go wrong.
00:44:51.996 --> 00:45:04.494
The only time it will go wrong is if you muck it up as a performer and there's an added bonus that you can instant stooge someone to actually hand the balls out.
00:45:04.494 --> 00:45:10.451
Can instant stooge someone to actually hand the balls out.
00:45:10.451 --> 00:45:22.753
They won't know how you know, and the people whose balls they belong, who whose balls they belong to, don't know how the spectator knows, and even if they have a chat at the end, they still won't be able to work out how it works.
00:45:22.753 --> 00:45:32.869
So that is now my closer or close up parlor and stage when I do the odd stage show.
00:45:32.869 --> 00:45:43.661
Um, it's, it's just um genius in its method and um, yeah, so check it out.
00:45:44.523 --> 00:45:53.775
Yeah, it's great and you raised the the point that first came to my mind, that for I mean there there's lots of versions of this.
00:45:53.775 --> 00:46:04.815
I remember there was a very nice wooden version that wasn't electronic and then that sort of inspired an electronic version of of it.
00:46:04.815 --> 00:46:11.351
Um, but what I like about snooker sorcery more is actually the props.
00:46:11.351 --> 00:46:29.730
To an extent, it allows the audience to follow what's happening, so the audience can see that it's going into the smaller bag and then going into the larger bag, which really helps with the impossibility of the routine, as opposed to just take a ball off of this stand and put it in your pocket yeah.
00:46:29.809 --> 00:46:30.452
And then the spec.
00:46:30.452 --> 00:46:48.306
I mean I mean we've, we've, um, as time goes on, and obviously we road test them like I'm road testing back to the future, we wrote I road test everything before we release it, uh, hence we don't release very much over a course of a year and there's a reason for that.
00:46:48.306 --> 00:46:50.492
We want to make sure that we've covered all bases.
00:46:50.492 --> 00:47:07.356
It's quite funny because you get the odd email when somebody's bought like saying like snooker sorcery, and and the email says I bought snooker sorcery, I love it to bits, but have you thought about dot, dot, dot, dot, dot and you go and you just want to write back and go yep, we thought about it.
00:47:07.356 --> 00:47:09.648
There's a reason why we're not doing it.
00:47:09.648 --> 00:47:23.818
Um, but it's um, it's one of those trips where, see I, it's, it's wayne's mantra, it's been my mantra since I've been with wayne.
00:47:23.818 --> 00:47:36.889
And you know, for those people that don't know, I used to actually actively perform Wayne's magic when I went out gigging and that is the reason we got together because he said oh, you use my magic and I go, do I?
00:47:36.889 --> 00:47:43.967
I mean I buy everything you bring out, and it's because it's.
00:47:44.809 --> 00:47:46.072
The method is easy.
00:47:46.072 --> 00:47:49.259
I've said this a million times the method is easy.
00:47:49.259 --> 00:47:53.878
The routines are simple so people can follow them.
00:47:53.878 --> 00:47:58.947
Because if, if they can't follow a routine, like you pointed out, what's the point?
00:47:58.947 --> 00:48:00.570
I mean, they're gonna go.
00:48:00.570 --> 00:48:05.175
Yeah, that was good, but I don't get it.
00:48:05.175 --> 00:48:10.481
But don't mix them up with simplicity in method.
00:48:10.481 --> 00:48:15.597
You need to practice the routines and the method just as much as anything else.
00:48:16.224 --> 00:48:25.458
But once you've got that, I mean yes, snooker sorcery, it just ticks every single box, every single box, and it will never fail.
00:48:25.458 --> 00:48:28.972
You, you're the only one who can fail.
00:48:28.972 --> 00:48:38.469
So, with that kind of like onus, you know that you're going to perform it and it will be correct.
00:48:38.469 --> 00:48:42.349
Yeah, I've never got it wrong.
00:48:42.349 --> 00:48:43.032
Well, that's a lie.
00:48:43.032 --> 00:48:44.469
I've never got it wrong.
00:48:44.469 --> 00:48:49.025
The only time I get it wrong is when I am performing in front of a bloody camera.
00:48:49.025 --> 00:48:51.092
I don't know why.
00:48:51.092 --> 00:48:53.385
I hate cameras.
00:48:53.385 --> 00:48:59.585
I hate having a camera, I hate things being pointed at me, but in front of spectators, never.
00:48:59.585 --> 00:49:03.228
So I don't know.
00:49:03.228 --> 00:49:04.112
Don't know what it is.
00:49:04.112 --> 00:49:05.215
Maybe it's just.
00:49:05.215 --> 00:49:07.052
I've got this aversion to plastic.
00:49:07.052 --> 00:49:09.911
I don't know.
00:49:09.911 --> 00:49:11.454
It doesn't breathe, it doesn't.
00:49:11.454 --> 00:49:12.956
You know what it probably is.
00:49:12.956 --> 00:49:14.278
It doesn't interact.
00:49:14.278 --> 00:49:23.635
You
get interaction from people and you get sort of like little lines that come out and you think I'll keep that and I'll choreograph.
00:49:23.635 --> 00:49:28.690
I'll choreograph it into, uh, into the next performance, because that was funny or whatever.
00:49:28.690 --> 00:49:34.027
But yeah, so snooker sorcery is my eighth one.
00:49:34.108 --> 00:49:37.313
Yes yeah, I got that right and what.
00:49:37.313 --> 00:49:42.188
What I really like is, um, you mentioned the trailer, so there are sort of two trailers that you can see.
00:49:42.188 --> 00:49:44.451
One is filmed impeccably.
00:49:44.471 --> 00:50:01.152
I don't know who filmed that, but it's great um the the other trailer which I really like is you can actually see wayne performing it on his tv show yeah, so he performed it on his uh, a kind of magic tv show which, incidentally, is on unlimited uh with alex iggins.
00:50:01.152 --> 00:50:10.737
Now alex iggins was instant stooged for that performance, but he still didn't know how Wayne knew and Wayne never told him.
00:50:10.737 --> 00:50:23.358
So you know, it's got that dual layer, if you like as well, and it's such a lovely piece of magic, you know it's.
00:50:23.358 --> 00:50:27.264
It is simple, but don't overlook its simplicity.
00:50:27.264 --> 00:50:31.195
But it's for what you get from it.
00:50:31.195 --> 00:50:32.016
I mean it.
00:50:32.016 --> 00:50:35.306
You know people have no idea yeah, that's a great choice.
00:50:35.568 --> 00:50:35.849
It's a.
00:50:35.849 --> 00:50:36.914
It's such a superb trick.
00:50:36.914 --> 00:50:38.340
I do urge everyone to check it out.
00:50:38.340 --> 00:50:42.128
It is a wonderful routine, but it does bring us onto your two curveball items.
00:50:42.128 --> 00:50:45.213
So obviously you've had eight items that you could choose from.
00:50:45.213 --> 00:50:49.659
Now you only have two one book and one non-magic item.
00:50:49.659 --> 00:50:58.351
Now I'm going to have a guess that the book that you're going to choose happens to be purple, but you know, I'm just guessing.
00:50:58.351 --> 00:51:00.992
So what did you put in your book position, wayne?
00:51:01.012 --> 00:51:01.914
Dobson's legacy.
00:51:01.914 --> 00:51:02.817
I have to.
00:51:02.817 --> 00:51:10.092
It's not because he's my mate and business partner, but there is a lifetime of magic in it.
00:51:10.092 --> 00:51:13.893
A lifetime, I mean, if I was to scrap everything tomorrow.
00:51:13.893 --> 00:51:27.014
And that includes every book I've got on the shelf, every trick I've ever bought, everything that I ever do, including what I've just mentioned in the um desert island discs.
00:51:27.014 --> 00:51:37.940
I I've got enough magic there to last me 20 magicians lives, um and um.
00:51:38.521 --> 00:51:46.201
It's not just the magic, it's the methodology behind the magic, it's the psychology behind the performances, it's his life story.
00:51:46.201 --> 00:51:50.954
I mean I've got a bit of entertainment while I'm on the uh desert island.
00:51:50.954 --> 00:51:53.965
I can read his life story and it is funny.
00:51:53.965 --> 00:52:01.840
There is some sad bits in it, but you know there's loads of anecdotes, there's loads of um.
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:04.271
You know things he got up to when he was younger.
00:52:04.271 --> 00:52:04.992
It's all fun.
00:52:04.992 --> 00:52:06.978
So that's me entertainment covered.
00:52:06.978 --> 00:52:10.835
And then I've got the magic itself.
00:52:10.835 --> 00:52:14.172
In fact snooker sorcery is in the book.
00:52:14.172 --> 00:52:18.913
If you want to make it yourself, so that's worth the book straight away.
00:52:18.913 --> 00:52:29.938
But I know magicians are inherently lazy so they always buy the book and then buy the props for snooker sorcery because they can't be bothered to source them.
00:52:29.938 --> 00:52:33.391
And snooker balls, funnily enough are really expensive at the moment.
00:52:33.391 --> 00:52:36.320
So but yeah, so that would be the book of choice.
00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:41.213
Definitely 100, but I know you're going to come up with a curveball for me, aren't you?
00:52:41.775 --> 00:52:42.115
yeah.
00:52:42.115 --> 00:52:47.177
So everyone who listens to this knows that there's a caveat that you can only take one book.
00:52:47.177 --> 00:52:57.317
So the easiest way that we've worked out to do this is to think of a volume where maybe a particular trick stands out to you and take that one volume.
00:52:57.317 --> 00:53:00.153
So what's the one volume from Wayne's books would you take?
00:53:00.485 --> 00:53:10.215
I would take Wayne's Defin collection, which is, uh, the next one, which was the book that was previously released before legacy.
00:53:10.215 --> 00:53:24.190
Now, obviously, I will lose things like snooker, sorcery and stuff like that and all the new stuff, but, um, I will be able to keep the one trick I would perform out of, uh, the definitive collection that's also in legacy.
00:53:24.190 --> 00:53:31.094
And, um, although the legacy version has an updated the definitive collection, that's also in Legacy, and although the Legacy version has an updated, improved version.
00:53:31.094 --> 00:53:34.135
I keep my brain as well, don't I?
00:53:34.135 --> 00:53:43.811
So I've already got that in my head, but I will be able to use the trick that I would perform all the time out of the definitive collection.
00:53:43.811 --> 00:53:44.333
So I've curveballed you.
00:53:44.333 --> 00:53:44.695
So what is that?
00:53:44.695 --> 00:53:46.422
One routine, though, lucky card all the time out of the definitive collection.
00:53:46.443 --> 00:53:46.925
So I've curveballed you.
00:53:46.925 --> 00:53:48.335
So what is that?
00:53:48.335 --> 00:53:48.722
One routine though.
00:53:48.722 --> 00:53:51.268
Lucky card, yeah.
00:53:51.268 --> 00:53:53.474
So you showed me this last weekend.
00:53:53.474 --> 00:53:54.458
I did.
00:53:54.458 --> 00:53:57.324
Yeah, it's phenomenal, it's absolutely phenomenal,
it's phenomenal.
00:53:58.246 --> 00:54:00.224
I mean the synopsis is very simple.
00:54:00.224 --> 00:54:03.315
You have a card on the table, so you have an open prediction.
00:54:03.315 --> 00:54:08.751
You ask the spectator if they've got a deck of cards or they're happy to use yours.
00:54:08.751 --> 00:54:15.838
It doesn't matter, but I prefer this is a magician's trick as much as it is a layperson's trick.
00:54:15.838 --> 00:54:20.416
But if they've got a deck of cards on them, you use their deck of cards.
00:54:20.416 --> 00:54:23.610
You don't touch the cards, you get them to shuffle them.
00:54:23.610 --> 00:54:30.737
They spread out on the table to show how well they're mixed, take out jokers, anything like that.
00:54:30.737 --> 00:54:35.708
You then ask them to spell lucky card and the cards match.
00:54:35.708 --> 00:54:40.315
I mean you can't get any better than that.
00:54:40.817 --> 00:54:43.688
Richard Young, bless him, did it.
00:54:43.688 --> 00:54:47.971
We showed him on the podcast, the Magician's Podcast Live.
00:54:47.971 --> 00:54:55.471
I'm talking about your rivals now and it's the only trick he ever recommended and he does it all the time.
00:54:55.471 --> 00:54:55.632
Now.
00:54:55.632 --> 00:54:59.494
It takes a little while, a bit of practice.
00:54:59.494 --> 00:55:07.317
It's not a trick that you're going to do immediately and you do need to practice it a bit.
00:55:07.317 --> 00:55:15.213
There are subtleties that you need to master, but once you've got it down, wow, what a trick.
00:55:15.213 --> 00:55:16.317
It is fantastic.
00:55:16.317 --> 00:55:18.190
We bought our DVD.
00:55:18.190 --> 00:55:26.204
Well, we filmed it at Alakazam, actually with Dave Loosely, and that was the first time he saw the trick and we filmed his reaction.
00:55:26.204 --> 00:55:32.155
He swore we had to take, take it out, he swore.
00:55:32.155 --> 00:55:32.795
So.
00:55:32.795 --> 00:55:38.014
It is a very powerful trick and it's been Wayne's signature trick for I don't know how long it's.
00:55:38.014 --> 00:55:41.405
It's, it's something and there's a funny anecdote.
00:55:41.806 --> 00:55:56.077
So when I first got uh together with, he invited me to his house in Surrey and I was so excited, I was like a kid in a sweet shop and I went down and obviously went into the house.
00:55:56.077 --> 00:56:01.052
We went into his office at the time and he said open that cupboard.
00:56:01.052 --> 00:56:07.918
So I opened the cupboard and it was just full of all the latest releases that he had.
00:56:07.918 --> 00:56:20.893
And he said right, so you're going to help me demonstrate these tricks at the magic circle dealers day you know the one that used to be in the hotel in Houston and I said, okay, cool.
00:56:20.893 --> 00:56:24.375
He said, take one of each and and and learn them.
00:56:24.375 --> 00:56:29.213
You've got about two and a half weeks and I'm sitting there going this is fantastic, you know.
00:56:29.213 --> 00:56:34.052
And then sitting there going oh, my god, I've got two and a half weeks to learn all these and learn them.
00:56:34.052 --> 00:56:37.141
Well, to get magicians to buy them, right.
00:56:37.141 --> 00:56:41.650
So no pressure way, but thanks anyway.
00:56:41.650 --> 00:56:43.072
Um, I took them home.
00:56:43.152 --> 00:56:53.135
I, every single one, I spent hours every day learning these, mastered them, and then, obviously, the Magic Circle dealer day came.
00:56:53.135 --> 00:57:04.152
I went there, got to the stand and he's not there His ex-wife's there and I said to her where's Wayne?
00:57:04.152 --> 00:57:07.355
And she went oh, he's in the bar with a load of magicians.
00:57:07.355 --> 00:57:10.130
So I went oh, okay, cool, I'll set up here.
00:57:10.130 --> 00:57:13.355
And I set up all my props, got ready and stuff like that.
00:57:13.844 --> 00:57:20.876
And then Richard I remember it as if it was yesterday Richard Pinner walked up to me and he went show my mate Lucky Card.
00:57:20.876 --> 00:57:34.849
And I'm like in my head, head, what the is lucky card?
00:57:34.849 --> 00:57:35.632
Um, and I went I'm sorry, I've no idea.
00:57:35.632 --> 00:57:36.898
And he went oh, he's been showing it all morning.
00:57:36.898 --> 00:57:37.239
It's phenomenal.
00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:38.262
Bloody hell, you know.
00:57:38.262 --> 00:57:39.706
And uh, we're not going to be here much longer.
00:57:40.068 --> 00:57:44.936
Anyway, at that moment wayne's come, come in and I've gone.
00:57:44.936 --> 00:57:46.039
Where the bloody hell have you been?
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:57.773
I've been at the bar, you know, drinking I don't know, bacardi or something, or vodka they're his favourite tipples, and Amaretto Sour, that's another one.
00:57:57.773 --> 00:58:01.494
And I said what about this lucky card?
00:58:01.494 --> 00:58:24.211
And he just looked at me and he goes, I forgot, and then starts bursting out laughing and I'm like I just look a complete pill up now in front of all these magicians that are wanting to see this trick and, um, yeah, so he gave me, uh, he gave me the manuscript and said learn it.
00:58:24.833 --> 00:58:28.947
And, uh, it, I won't lie, it took me about six months to get it down to perfection.
00:58:28.947 --> 00:58:43.474
I added a few little extra bits that we included in the marketed version, the DVD that allows me to do, to take my time and a beginner to take their time.
00:58:43.474 --> 00:58:54.597
And uh, yeah, we released it and I think we've been chatting about maybe re-releasing it, uh, as a download on alakazam at some point.
00:58:54.597 --> 00:59:07.195
So, yeah, if you haven't got it, if you haven't seen it, just look at the dave loosely trailer on alakazam site it, it's awesome, it is awesome.
00:59:07.195 --> 00:59:14.117
So that is the book I would take, the definitive collection because you won't let me take legacy, which is what I really wanted.
00:59:14.117 --> 00:59:17.492
Um, because you're asking me to choose
throughout the books.
00:59:17.492 --> 00:59:23.192
And um, yeah, so I can keep lucky card great choice.
00:59:23.833 --> 00:59:28.869
And it does bring us on to your curveball curveball item, which is your non-magic item that you use for magic.
00:59:28.869 --> 00:59:31.925
Um, I'm really worried what this one's going to be when it comes to you.
00:59:31.925 --> 00:59:33.670
Uh, so what did you go for?
00:59:34.210 --> 00:59:44.873
I had to think hard and fast about this because it's really difficult and, like I said, most of my props that I tend to use are non-ical and you won't allow me to use them.
00:59:44.873 --> 00:59:55.313
So I'm going to take Wayne Dobson so he can suffer being on the desert island with me and I've got the most prolific, most.
00:59:55.313 --> 01:00:03.518
He's a legend, he's a living legend most prolific person by my side as a tap into anything.
01:00:03.518 --> 01:00:12.556
I mean, if all we're surrounded by is coconut trees, he will come up with a trick with coconuts, you know.
01:00:12.556 --> 01:00:15.875
So that's who I would take with me.
01:00:15.875 --> 01:00:21.313
I know it's very cliche, but there's no other choice.
01:00:21.313 --> 01:00:22.670
There's no other choice.
01:00:23.885 --> 01:00:28.550
Yeah, you're absolutely allowed to take wayne, so people can take other people.
01:00:28.550 --> 01:00:31.824
My only thing is and this is down to the listeners, right?
01:00:31.824 --> 01:00:37.597
The question is that you can take something that's not magic, yeah, that you use for magic.
01:00:37.597 --> 01:00:44.795
I think wayne is about as magic as you can get, so it's down to listeners.
01:00:44.976 --> 01:00:47.159
Do we think that that's allowed or not?
01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:50.090
You'll have to let me know, but it's a great, great choice.
01:00:50.090 --> 01:00:52.315
Uh, it's a great list of tricks as well.
01:00:52.315 --> 01:01:04.518
Um, and, like I said, do go check out wayne's performance of snooker sorcerer as well on the show it's really well, join unlimited and just watch the whole lot, and it's like watching it weekly I'm.
01:01:04.557 --> 01:01:13.018
People came up to me last week and said it's great because it's like, you know, saturday night I can sit and watch it and it's like takes me back to my childhood and things like that.
01:01:13.018 --> 01:01:18.277
And I'm going yeah, that's exactly why we did it like that is because it is, you know, once a week.
01:01:18.277 --> 01:01:26.018
It's not like netflix where you binge, watch it for until four o'clock in the morning and it's something to look forward to, you know.
01:01:26.018 --> 01:01:31.733
So it was yeah, yeah, it's great, great idea by you to do it once a week.
01:01:32.606 --> 01:01:37.291
Well, if people want to find out more about you and Wayne, where can they go to?
01:01:38.266 --> 01:01:50.139
They can go to D-Trick their websites and that's wwwdtrickcom and that's with no, so d-t-r-i-kcom.
01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:55.532
I have to say that because everybody puts detrick with a, c and um.
01:01:56.514 --> 01:02:40.990
Yeah, there's a, there's a bio of all of us and but if you want to know more about wayne, which you know he's the main man, buy Legacy because his autobiography is in there up to date and it's got everything in it so you can learn about his life as a jobbing magician who went on to the clubs in the north, who then went on to appear on the odd guest show, then went to the Palladium guest show, then got his, went to the Palladium and then went and got his own show and the rest of it and all all that, and then the MS and how it's affected him and uh, he's uh, uh synopsis of his marriages.
01:02:40.990 --> 01:02:45.746
Oh, all good, it's all in there, uh.
01:02:45.746 --> 01:03:05.268
And also a lot a lot of people don't know is that the second book, a kind of magic, has a complete chronological um listing of every trick he did on all these a kind of magic series and why he did it and what was involved and sometimes the odd price, how much it cost.
01:03:05.268 --> 01:03:09.956
So that's really interesting to read, especially for magicians.
01:03:13.445 --> 01:03:15.130
And of course you're always at conventions as well.
01:03:15.130 --> 01:03:21.293
I don't know if we're doing the session as a dealer, but we'll be at Blackpool, obviously.
01:03:21.293 --> 01:03:26.699
And yeah, it'll be great, it'll be great, it'll be great, we'll catch up again.
01:03:26.699 --> 01:03:28.840
We was next to one another last week as well, weren't we?
01:03:29.403 --> 01:03:31.628
yeah it was good fun, great well.
01:03:31.628 --> 01:03:35.190
Thank you so much for coming along and sharing your list at long last thank you for inviting me.
01:03:35.306 --> 01:03:38.311
It's been an absolute pleasure and really fun.
01:03:38.686 --> 01:03:45.753
But if you guys want to be a part of one of these, don't forget we do have Stranded with a Stranger, so you can send in your list.
01:03:45.753 --> 01:03:47.849

01:03:47.849 --> 01:03:51.130
Please, in the subject line put my desert island tricks.
01:03:51.130 --> 01:03:52.630
That way it comes through to me.
01:03:52.630 --> 01:03:56.750
Do give us a little bio and, of course, why you chose those tricks.
01:03:56.750 --> 01:04:06.519

01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:10.554
So thank you all for listening and we'll see you again next week.
01:04:10.554 --> 01:04:11.157
Goodbye.
01:04:15.965 --> 01:04:19.416
When I perform at gigs, I look at effects that tick these three boxes.
01:04:19.416 --> 01:04:21.692
Is it super strong and powerful?
01:04:21.692 --> 01:04:25.713
Yes, will it last with your spectators for a lifetime?
01:04:25.713 --> 01:04:32.356
Absolutely, and does it leave them with a souvenir that perfectly captures the moment of magic?
01:04:32.356 --> 01:04:37.335
If that all sounds exactly what you're after, look no further than the liquid forks.
01:04:37.335 --> 01:04:43.594
These forks have been custom designed to be able to bend right in front of your spectators eyes.
01:04:43.594 --> 01:04:53.429
It's so easy to perform, it's so visual and, trust me, they will honestly keep this impossible object because they've seen it morph in front of their eyes.
01:04:53.429 --> 01:04:55.597
It literally does the impossible.
01:04:56.219 --> 01:05:07.079
Not only that Liquid Forks comes with 50 of these forks in each pack and it comes with the full liquid forks routine taught by the world famous David Penn.
01:05:07.079 --> 01:05:09.885
Not only that, we have a subscription service.
01:05:09.885 --> 01:05:20.798
If you guys love these forks and you get through them at your gigs, we now offer a monthly subscription where you get sent a box through every single month at a 10% reduced fee.
01:05:20.798 --> 01:05:23.233
Like I said, you guys are going to be loving these.
01:05:23.233 --> 01:05:25.413
You're going to be performing them every chance you can.
01:05:25.413 --> 01:05:33.268
Trust me, the reactions are second to none.
01:05:33.268 --> 01:05:35.356

01:05:36.702 --> 01:05:42.376
And, to be honest with you, it's not cards, it's not coins, it's not mentalism, it's something beyond belief.
