Trick Supply Creative Magic Challenge #239

WEBVTT
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:06.537
They're guys. They do magic. They are the magic guys.
00:00:11.102 --> 00:00:17.642
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Magic Guys podcast, episode 239.
00:00:18.362 --> 00:00:22.942
I'm one of your hosts, Josh Norbedo, but to my left, we've got Nick Kay.
00:00:23.522 --> 00:00:28.142
Hi, friends. I'm Nick Kay. And joining us this week, we have Daddy Doug Kahn.
00:00:28.762 --> 00:00:31.502
What's up, y'all? And pardon me. You know what, guys?
00:00:31.802 --> 00:00:35.862
Before the pod, I set up this thread reel. Now I'm all tangled up in it.
00:00:35.862 --> 00:00:37.362
Let me just see if this thing works. Hold on.
00:00:37.742 --> 00:00:47.802
Oh, hold on. I am tangled as fuck that's how I got this needs work we'll get back to that item.
00:00:49.202 --> 00:00:52.882
I don't think we're going to sell any of those now I think it's worth mentioning
00:00:52.882 --> 00:00:57.622
that we do this live and unrehearsed we are just professionals at the top of
00:00:57.622 --> 00:01:02.282
our game talking about all things magic reviewing products and interviewing
00:01:02.282 --> 00:01:07.682
very cool people and sometimes those folks will be here in the chat we have Tim Askin in the chat,
00:01:08.302 --> 00:01:11.122
welcome tim good to see you there and he's saying where is
00:01:11.122 --> 00:01:13.922
everyone that's true so friends if you are in the chat say
00:01:13.922 --> 00:01:16.682
hello if you have questions let us know what's up
00:01:16.682 --> 00:01:20.082
because today we've had interview upon
00:01:20.082 --> 00:01:24.602
cool interview and it's been so long since we've had well just a freestyle fun
00:01:24.602 --> 00:01:28.942
jammy kind of session and so daddy doug has went and got like a whole bunch
00:01:28.942 --> 00:01:34.122
of cool toys for us to play with from trick supply there's a whole box full
00:01:34.122 --> 00:01:37.362
of magic yeah got bust the mic thanks of being here.
00:01:37.462 --> 00:01:40.722
So what's going to be cool, I think, about today is that we're going to be looking
00:01:40.722 --> 00:01:46.502
at some stuff that, I don't know, like some folks probably may not even know about. Right, Doug?
00:01:47.002 --> 00:01:51.042
Even I didn't know about it until literally Saturday afternoon as I was wrapping
00:01:51.042 --> 00:01:54.982
up the shop and I was like, oh crap, we got a podcast Monday about this store.
00:01:55.222 --> 00:01:58.182
Let me throw some stuff in a
00:01:58.182 --> 00:02:04.142
box. And so with that much preparation and little in between, here we are.
00:02:04.909 --> 00:02:08.469
We did it. We did it. And some of these things, I was just looking,
00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:11.729
because Doug sent us a couple of screenshots of things he might grab.
00:02:11.929 --> 00:02:16.809
And like some of the things I just, it's so funny, the rate in which we churn
00:02:16.809 --> 00:02:20.889
through stuff that comes out and we'll sort of think about it for a second.
00:02:21.129 --> 00:02:25.189
Is this relevant to our work? And if it isn't, you kind of forget about it.
00:02:25.449 --> 00:02:30.109
And now Doug's kind of brought up some things that I haven't thought about for like a year.
00:02:30.249 --> 00:02:34.749
But the idea of maybe considering how we would use it in our work is,
00:02:34.909 --> 00:02:42.629
What about Lou Bore Fiedler's Tenyo Banger from 2014, where you shoved cards in your face?
00:02:43.289 --> 00:02:47.349
What? See, this is all new to me. Who knows about this trick?
00:02:47.589 --> 00:02:49.189
You get bonus points if you do.
00:02:49.569 --> 00:02:54.589
I've heard of it. So the premise of today, you guys, is that there are some
00:02:54.589 --> 00:02:56.669
really good magic out there, as we all know.
00:02:56.769 --> 00:03:00.689
And there's also some super obscure magic out there. And the idea of today is
00:03:00.689 --> 00:03:04.969
that we're going to do this as a creative challenge where Doug has handpicked
00:03:04.969 --> 00:03:08.729
some absolute challenging ones to challenge both Josh and myself.
00:03:08.889 --> 00:03:13.809
And of course, you guys who are part of the show as well.
00:03:14.109 --> 00:03:17.569
You know, Nick is asking, is this the magic junk drawer?
00:03:18.049 --> 00:03:22.769
Kind of not. This is more like a purposely created challenge where there's some
00:03:22.769 --> 00:03:26.669
stuff that we might have found in the past that could suck, like this Mylar
00:03:26.669 --> 00:03:31.089
flower card. Let's be clear, there is junk in this drawer.
00:03:31.509 --> 00:03:36.049
Correct. It's very similar. It's like the junk drawer of Trix Applied, perhaps.
00:03:36.529 --> 00:03:41.409
Not junk as in bad, but junk as in stuff that's been to the side,
00:03:41.809 --> 00:03:43.189
hasn't had some love for a little while.
00:03:44.249 --> 00:03:47.269
Obviously, I'm trying to pick items that might be interesting.
00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:50.229
And hey, if you buy some, great.
00:03:51.163 --> 00:03:58.263
Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so I think we should do this kind of just not even looking.
00:03:58.423 --> 00:04:02.023
Reach into the basket, close your eyes, pull out a piece of crap or a good one.
00:04:02.583 --> 00:04:06.243
Look, we're starting with the buy bar card because this is what started this
00:04:06.243 --> 00:04:10.463
snowball rolling. That's right. I mean, we set this thing like I even know what's going on here.
00:04:10.903 --> 00:04:17.383
Yeah. And I'm proposing now. I proposed to the owner of Trick Supply that I'm thinking of his words.
00:04:17.483 --> 00:04:20.523
He said, Douglas, everything doesn't have to be a miracle.
00:04:21.963 --> 00:04:28.483
But the premise of this, I was going to do a series called Magic Tricks That Shouldn't Exist.
00:04:28.823 --> 00:04:32.903
And it was this item, the card to bag.
00:04:33.263 --> 00:04:38.083
Let me present it properly. There you go. The card to Mylar spring flower bag
00:04:38.083 --> 00:04:39.463
that inspired this series.
00:04:39.703 --> 00:04:44.723
And I don't know, I randomly pulled this piece of theater out last night.
00:04:44.843 --> 00:04:49.603
And that inspired us to think today of what we could do with the weirdness that exists.
00:04:49.603 --> 00:04:52.543
And tricks apply and beyond all right
00:04:52.543 --> 00:04:55.443
so that is okay so the listeners of the podcast
00:04:55.443 --> 00:04:58.943
let's just be clear like this is a very visual episode and this
00:04:58.943 --> 00:05:04.303
is a card that is red backed it's a six of clubs you can show it all the way
00:05:04.303 --> 00:05:07.883
around and it's perfectly flat or flat enough let's say that much and then after
00:05:07.883 --> 00:05:15.623
which it will open up into a little clear box that has a flower inside of it with a handle,
00:05:15.803 --> 00:05:20.023
not too reminiscent of the bag of nothing.
00:05:20.183 --> 00:05:25.423
And that's where my brain goes, where you can have a bag of nothing type effect.
00:05:26.749 --> 00:05:30.149
Yeah, so you guys have probably seen this trick where they show the bag empty
00:05:30.149 --> 00:05:35.469
and then they start pulling these nonsensical other bags full of nonsensical
00:05:35.469 --> 00:05:37.089
stuff like mylar flowers.
00:05:37.369 --> 00:05:41.109
So that's what this is, built into a playing card. We're just not sure why.
00:05:42.029 --> 00:05:50.069
So my first thought is, could you have two of them, one in each hand, and do a transposition?
00:05:50.329 --> 00:05:54.869
Like how fast could a transposition be done where you can fold the flower box
00:05:54.869 --> 00:06:00.149
back up and undo the card and have it look like they change places.
00:06:00.569 --> 00:06:04.849
The creator of this wonderful item obviously had some foresight here.
00:06:04.969 --> 00:06:06.529
They do send you several gaps.
00:06:06.709 --> 00:06:12.049
So it is cards to flower bats. You get, I think, four of them.
00:06:12.469 --> 00:06:16.169
Can you squish this flat quick enough? Probably not.
00:06:16.269 --> 00:06:21.209
It would be a slower transposition more than a visual one, but... Okay. Okay.
00:06:22.230 --> 00:06:25.710
Maybe like can it can it be done with one hand at all like
00:06:25.710 --> 00:06:28.550
can it be opened up with one hand to hang on the onto the
00:06:28.550 --> 00:06:31.190
flower yeah with some practice assuming you'd want
00:06:31.190 --> 00:06:34.250
to spend time practicing this oddity yeah yeah
00:06:34.250 --> 00:06:37.330
okay so my next my next thought is still
00:06:37.330 --> 00:06:40.510
in that manipulation realm could you have two of
00:06:40.510 --> 00:06:43.310
those cards back palmed and then
00:06:43.310 --> 00:06:46.190
like is it possible to instead of producing
00:06:46.190 --> 00:06:49.090
a card you produce the flower box like as you're
00:06:49.090 --> 00:06:52.770
producing it can your thumb slip into the thing i
00:06:52.770 --> 00:06:56.410
love how i get to be the hand model for all your ideas hey
00:06:56.410 --> 00:06:59.250
doug bring this to light i'm gonna ramble for three minutes about
00:06:59.250 --> 00:07:03.690
a method and then if you could just do it yeah i figured
00:07:03.690 --> 00:07:06.790
out if i hook my finger around this this card then
00:07:06.790 --> 00:07:09.990
maybe i could open it up quickly that way so okay
00:07:09.990 --> 00:07:12.970
this will allow me to do a one hand so i'm
00:07:12.970 --> 00:07:16.870
still on your last idea but that's more possible now by hooking the tip of the
00:07:16.870 --> 00:07:21.030
bag by the time we're done here this is gonna be a new murphy's release and
00:07:21.030 --> 00:07:26.170
we're gonna have a craig penny length tutorial on the cards to bag that kind
00:07:26.170 --> 00:07:32.390
of works hey got one yeah i feel like we can make this a cool hot item you know,
00:07:32.950 --> 00:07:36.810
i actually have an idea and i don't know if i mentioned this last week it's
00:07:36.810 --> 00:07:42.050
how a magician makes a christmas ornament so i'll come up to the christmas tree
00:07:42.050 --> 00:07:44.750
show the playing card do the thing
00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:49.970
pal and then hang this on the tree so that's what i'm gonna do with it.
00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:53.570
You could just put a paper clip on it so that it stays
00:07:53.570 --> 00:07:56.270
flat and then you could just flick it off with your thumb and then do the
00:07:56.270 --> 00:08:01.730
drop and that should expand making the little box yeah because if you add a
00:08:01.730 --> 00:08:05.770
little paper clip on it at a distance because it is a kind of b-back design
00:08:05.770 --> 00:08:10.550
that's that's right to the edge that gives this really nice camouflage if you
00:08:10.550 --> 00:08:14.110
will for that type of thing Yeah. And then...
00:08:14.767 --> 00:08:17.887
If that was the right way, that would actually look pretty dope.
00:08:18.447 --> 00:08:21.427
So I like the layering idea for sure.
00:08:21.707 --> 00:08:25.567
I'm trying Josh's back palm for the listeners at home. This is a pretty stiff
00:08:25.567 --> 00:08:28.547
piece of apparatus. There's not a lot of flexibility there.
00:08:29.327 --> 00:08:35.687
But in theory, you could produce it and then kapow it into that beautiful.
00:08:36.547 --> 00:08:39.007
Yeah. You know what would be great?
00:08:40.107 --> 00:08:44.227
Yeah, because you've got to have the six showing. if the red side was just black
00:08:44.227 --> 00:08:47.007
art so that you could do it in between your fingers like black art and make
00:08:47.007 --> 00:08:50.727
your hand look really singular so if that was like all black on the red side
00:08:50.727 --> 00:08:54.947
and then you could do the production showing the face of and then when you do the drop,
00:08:56.178 --> 00:09:00.778
yeah i like black art i mean if your act is going to be producing mylar card
00:09:00.778 --> 00:09:05.818
bags black art is a good way to go with this yeah because even if you wiped
00:09:05.818 --> 00:09:09.178
your hand over it so it'd look like a slow change like it so you hold it like
00:09:09.178 --> 00:09:12.458
this and then you just sort of do that pull down,
00:09:13.058 --> 00:09:15.898
and then you can just remove your hand across and then show that there's a box
00:09:15.898 --> 00:09:22.218
there that would look i think we're going to reserve some of my physical skill sets for more.
00:09:24.498 --> 00:09:27.418
Lucrative ventures let's move on still let's cart
00:09:27.418 --> 00:09:30.878
the bag okay the last thing i'll just say not
00:09:30.878 --> 00:09:36.778
a not a trick but more so like a fun like i could see this being a running gag
00:09:36.778 --> 00:09:40.878
throughout your show because it's so thin imagine you have one in every inside
00:09:40.878 --> 00:09:46.418
pocket of your jacket or whatever right and every time you're going to get the
00:09:46.418 --> 00:09:48.378
next prop it's like oh hang on i just let me
00:09:48.398 --> 00:09:51.198
just get this out of the way sit it down you grab your sharpie next time
00:09:51.198 --> 00:09:53.978
oh let me get this out of the way it's another one to get my deck of
00:09:53.978 --> 00:09:56.718
cards and oh this is in the way let me put my
00:09:56.718 --> 00:10:01.878
cards away oh i can't there's another one like that is a fun bit of stick you
00:10:01.878 --> 00:10:07.098
know throughout the show that can also be a transformation like you like you
00:10:07.098 --> 00:10:11.338
put a card in someone's pocket or you put into something of there some sort
00:10:11.338 --> 00:10:16.658
of receptacle then when you remove the card out it becomes the flower bag.
00:10:17.158 --> 00:10:21.358
Todd to flower bag. Look at that. Eight 95. That's a steal.
00:10:22.358 --> 00:10:25.898
Old school, cheap stuff. So that's what you're looking for. If you're looking
00:10:25.898 --> 00:10:27.138
for that at trick supply.
00:10:28.172 --> 00:10:30.972
Hell yeah. I like it. All right. We'll put it down to, yeah.
00:10:31.352 --> 00:10:35.832
We figured if we started with this, the whole show would be uphill after that. Yeah.
00:10:37.772 --> 00:10:41.932
All right. So let's look at product number two. What's on here?
00:10:41.972 --> 00:10:45.032
You know, this is actually, I don't think we talked about this.
00:10:45.192 --> 00:10:48.392
This happened to be on my desk. I just think it's a good product essentially
00:10:48.392 --> 00:10:50.732
for Paul Harris's Twilight routine.
00:10:51.112 --> 00:10:53.232
This is the moon from TCC.
00:10:53.912 --> 00:10:56.892
I didn't let you even guys know I was going to talk about
00:10:56.892 --> 00:10:59.632
it but it's just a really nice mirror with a
00:10:59.632 --> 00:11:02.752
velvet back on it and this
00:11:02.752 --> 00:11:05.732
allows for some really nice handling of these kind of routines
00:11:05.732 --> 00:11:08.752
where coins are hidden behind the mirror this mirror
00:11:08.752 --> 00:11:12.872
also has a light frame on it which allows for handling shells
00:11:12.872 --> 00:11:15.912
off the table separating them and
00:11:15.912 --> 00:11:19.312
so now you can do some hands-off visual splitting
00:11:19.312 --> 00:11:22.092
of the coins and if this happens to
00:11:22.092 --> 00:11:25.432
be of interest in anyone in the world and it is to me because
00:11:25.432 --> 00:11:28.192
that's why i had it at home anyway i just side share with it
00:11:28.192 --> 00:11:30.972
it's a nice letter holder a nice quality prop and
00:11:30.972 --> 00:11:36.472
then a great tutorial on some real visuals tcc's the moon if you have any thoughts
00:11:36.472 --> 00:11:40.432
on it great if not you know we'll move on what kind of effects can you achieve
00:11:40.432 --> 00:11:44.392
with it like uh so on a on a mat i imagine you have a coin you share the reflection
00:11:44.392 --> 00:11:50.472
paul harris back in the day when paul harris was developing He released an item called Twilight,
00:11:50.852 --> 00:11:52.672
and it's a half dollar on a table.
00:11:52.852 --> 00:11:57.812
You put the mirror on top of it, and when you pull it back, it looks like two, and then there are two.
00:11:58.112 --> 00:12:02.532
And that continues until there are four, and they go back into each other,
00:12:02.652 --> 00:12:06.072
and it's super visual. I think it'd be a great piece of social media.
00:12:06.072 --> 00:12:07.272
That's why I have it at home.
00:12:07.372 --> 00:12:12.792
But it's also been really in my world since 1988, I think, is when Twilight
00:12:12.792 --> 00:12:15.092
was released as a standalone manuscript. it.
00:12:15.812 --> 00:12:19.012
So if you want a great prop to do that routine, and if you're not familiar with
00:12:19.012 --> 00:12:24.292
it, it's in the Art of Astonishment volumes, which everyone should have. Amen.
00:12:25.212 --> 00:12:27.912
You know, not to bring up.
00:12:28.838 --> 00:12:31.498
Not to bring up double cross but i wonder if there's a
00:12:31.498 --> 00:12:34.298
way to do that effect with
00:12:34.298 --> 00:12:36.958
double cross on someone's hand so you
00:12:36.958 --> 00:12:39.978
have their palm out you've stamped them as you're you
00:12:39.978 --> 00:12:43.258
know moving the hand or whatever get the mirror there draw
00:12:43.258 --> 00:12:46.078
one and now pull it away and now it looks like two
00:12:46.078 --> 00:12:48.838
crosses pulled the mirror away boom now there is two
00:12:48.838 --> 00:12:51.858
crosses and then and then maybe the follow
00:12:51.858 --> 00:12:54.798
up is that now you do it without the mirror but now
00:12:54.798 --> 00:12:57.738
the cross is on the other hand that you know was never playing
00:12:57.738 --> 00:13:00.738
this game i love the idea
00:13:00.738 --> 00:13:06.918
of doing it on your hand and like using that visual to create another illusion
00:13:06.918 --> 00:13:14.738
i don't recall seeing that before and josh norbita you are a sub genius well
00:13:14.738 --> 00:13:18.998
i don't have one or have done it but that's what i when i think of roving and
00:13:18.998 --> 00:13:20.158
like how i might use something,
00:13:20.925 --> 00:13:23.905
yeah but that's what i was thinking is this prop in general
00:13:23.905 --> 00:13:26.845
is just cool like and it's you know it's produced
00:13:26.845 --> 00:13:30.165
for professional use how do you carry a mirror around if you're going to use
00:13:30.165 --> 00:13:33.805
it well here's a nice leather carrier so your your ship won't get banged up
00:13:33.805 --> 00:13:38.065
and yeah i think the premise of the twilight is interesting people used to i've
00:13:38.065 --> 00:13:42.325
only ever seen it done with a different take if you if i may it was twilight
00:13:42.325 --> 00:13:45.485
angels using the playing card and you would use a highly.
00:13:46.485 --> 00:13:50.385
Reflective Zippo lighter to do the same effect. Oh, yeah, he did take it that way.
00:13:50.625 --> 00:13:54.065
Yeah, Paul, you know, he originally had this idea as a shrinking card.
00:13:54.245 --> 00:13:56.445
So this, I think, is also an art of astonishment.
00:13:56.665 --> 00:13:59.225
But if you do this, it looks like the card kind of shrinks.
00:13:59.545 --> 00:14:02.365
So for those at home, I got the mirror on the back of a deck of cards,
00:14:02.385 --> 00:14:06.125
and as I push forward, it looks like it gets smaller, and then you can pull
00:14:06.125 --> 00:14:07.605
it away, and it's a miniature card.
00:14:08.005 --> 00:14:12.365
I think he also had some restorations and things of that nature.
00:14:12.365 --> 00:14:16.405
But yeah, uh, there's a marketed effect with the angels that uses,
00:14:16.405 --> 00:14:18.745
I'd love the idea of a Zippo for that.
00:14:19.045 --> 00:14:21.805
So the premise is interesting because you could use a Zippo that's highly,
00:14:21.905 --> 00:14:25.325
highly reflective and ask him to like, hold it in a certain way and then draw
00:14:25.325 --> 00:14:30.665
like stamp as you like, cause you could literally stamp someone's hand as you're drawing the other.
00:14:31.245 --> 00:14:33.925
And you got this big shield in front of you.
00:14:34.025 --> 00:14:39.445
So you could do a twilight effect like a double cross, but using something organic.
00:14:39.445 --> 00:14:45.785
Like I know half wonder if there's, if there's any kind of phone screen type
00:14:45.785 --> 00:14:48.825
of, you know, those ones where like people can't see when you're left or right.
00:14:49.065 --> 00:14:53.265
I wonder if there's any kind of phone screen things you could have where it's
00:14:53.265 --> 00:14:58.385
pretty much Chrome until, you know, like a mirrored Chrome until the actual
00:14:58.385 --> 00:15:01.305
phone lights up and you can see your home screen.
00:15:01.465 --> 00:15:05.325
I'm sort of curious if there's anything like that on the market because the
00:15:05.325 --> 00:15:06.605
principle still stands.
00:15:06.765 --> 00:15:09.785
And I think that's, we'll call it the twilight principle. I think,
00:15:09.805 --> 00:15:11.105
I think there's something in that.
00:15:11.977 --> 00:15:14.857
Yeah I'm sold on that now I'm gonna buy the Mylar card now
00:15:14.857 --> 00:15:18.137
I'm gonna buy the mirror I also wonder if Nick like I
00:15:18.137 --> 00:15:22.057
bet if anyone could do it you could I wonder if you could literally do the cloning
00:15:22.057 --> 00:15:27.317
of the coins on a spectator's hand like I wonder if they would even feel you
00:15:27.317 --> 00:15:32.417
know the extra bit of a coin behind the mirror before you reveal it you know
00:15:32.417 --> 00:15:37.277
yeah like imagine doing that and then you're doing the spring and then you know like,
00:15:38.057 --> 00:15:42.057
That would just be a fun extra visual that I've never explored.
00:15:42.577 --> 00:15:46.897
That could be a lot of fun. How fortuitous is it that you could actually hide
00:15:46.897 --> 00:15:51.537
the Mylar card behind the mirror and then do the mirror Mylar card?
00:15:53.337 --> 00:15:58.297
Now we're there. Yeah, yeah. All right, so now we're building an act out of
00:15:58.297 --> 00:15:59.297
these items, basically.
00:15:59.777 --> 00:16:02.957
Yeah. Well, the cool thing about doing a mirrored thing is that when you're
00:16:02.957 --> 00:16:06.277
building a shield in front of someone, you can drop things behind them.
00:16:06.277 --> 00:16:08.297
You could, you could stamp them.
00:16:08.397 --> 00:16:11.117
You could do whatever you could ring something in and, and, and it wouldn't
00:16:11.117 --> 00:16:16.277
be weird for you to put your finger on someone as you're actually holding or
00:16:16.277 --> 00:16:19.857
get them, get them to hold it themselves, you know, and then you can sort of draw that. And then you.
00:16:20.677 --> 00:16:24.137
Let me reiterate that I brought this home for social media. I think this is
00:16:24.137 --> 00:16:28.057
a great prop for that. And I think all the ideas we've talked about would make banger videos.
00:16:28.417 --> 00:16:32.417
The use of a mirror is a great hook to open a scene with, you know,
00:16:32.537 --> 00:16:34.377
you know how magicians do tricks with mirrors.
00:16:34.377 --> 00:16:38.557
When you do anything with this and it's good you're off to a good start we have
00:16:38.557 --> 00:16:43.877
a guy called dennis kim yeah he is amazing all right last thing i'll say i just
00:16:43.877 --> 00:16:47.057
had i just i can just see this visual and i might have to actually try and do
00:16:47.057 --> 00:16:49.477
this okay imagine this so you got the mirror.
00:16:50.617 --> 00:16:55.597
You're performing to let's say four people watching you stand up right roving
00:16:55.597 --> 00:17:01.377
magic okay so i'm performing there in front of me a little semicircle the two
00:17:01.377 --> 00:17:06.237
people on the outer edge One hand each Holding the edges of the mirror Almost
00:17:06.237 --> 00:17:08.957
like a crazy man's handcuff kind of setup, right?
00:17:09.117 --> 00:17:12.797
So they're still watching from this perspective But their outer hands are now
00:17:12.797 --> 00:17:17.757
holding the mirror You show a coin And you do the classic like big illusion
00:17:17.757 --> 00:17:20.177
type thing Both hands go in front,
00:17:21.088 --> 00:17:25.068
When your hands come back out, now there's two coins. Because this one goes
00:17:25.068 --> 00:17:26.668
in front of the mirror, this one goes behind.
00:17:27.368 --> 00:17:31.848
Then you let them check the mirror. Now you've done your business to do it again.
00:17:32.228 --> 00:17:34.308
Now you show the two coins go in front.
00:17:34.728 --> 00:17:38.228
Boom. It looks like both hands have coins because they're seeing the reflection
00:17:38.228 --> 00:17:40.728
of the same hand come back out. Now you have four coins.
00:17:41.408 --> 00:17:45.268
And then you could do it with any item that you can basically palm.
00:17:45.628 --> 00:17:47.408
Doing that stand-up is great.
00:17:48.548 --> 00:17:52.808
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. they're holding one side each and they're seeing
00:17:52.808 --> 00:17:56.748
this visual of you know and if you if you can.
00:17:58.228 --> 00:18:01.888
Psychologically influence them in the right way you could be like grab any
00:18:01.888 --> 00:18:05.148
object right and it's like the closest thing they can see is like the sugar
00:18:05.148 --> 00:18:08.488
packet on the table yeah whatever yeah use that bring that to me and then you
00:18:08.488 --> 00:18:12.868
do that and you clone that into two things i bet you'd love me to clone money
00:18:12.868 --> 00:18:17.788
what who's got money you know like you i could just see like a little you know
00:18:17.788 --> 00:18:20.968
Drago Tiro was saying, would you use a bigger mirror?
00:18:21.128 --> 00:18:25.548
Now, again, let's just say for the sake of creativity, we use a larger scale
00:18:25.548 --> 00:18:28.348
mirror using this principle. Here's a fun thought, right?
00:18:28.968 --> 00:18:33.148
Just to gag it up. So you can put your hand in, and then as you pull your hand
00:18:33.148 --> 00:18:34.928
away, your hand gets smaller, right?
00:18:35.328 --> 00:18:40.128
And then you pull out both hands, and your hand behind is just this tiny little hand. Right.
00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:44.840
Like his little Donald Trumpy. I actually love the idea of this. The baby hand.
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:53.500
Oh man, which is $40 now. Hanson Chin's new release. Oh man, the baby hand's $40.
00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:02.200
Ah, Hanson getting it. I think the idea of that mirror effect as a stage illusion has merit.
00:19:02.560 --> 00:19:05.520
So that's worth thinking about. Well, I mean, there is a stage version,
00:19:05.620 --> 00:19:09.260
right? The guy that did it on Fool Us and he now tours with it. It's really awesome.
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:12.480
Oh. and he does big bags of money go in
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.980
and they come out but at the start of the react shows everything's clean
00:19:15.980 --> 00:19:18.960
and yeah it's really good
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.760
but i've never seen anyone try stand up
00:19:21.760 --> 00:19:25.200
roving i gotta get on this all
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.120
right yeah i'm gonna so all right so yeah i'm definitely buying the mirror now
00:19:28.120 --> 00:19:31.100
all right that's a good one i think this is really great because i think every 10
00:19:31.100 --> 00:19:34.120
minutes we sort of press on so we just hit the 20 minute mark hit
00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:36.740
the next one just so we know the name of it
00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:40.480
doug what is the name of this particular mirror the moon
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:43.980
it was a tcc release and
00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:47.160
then we got a few of them at the shop okay the moon
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:50.740
and one day once i practice you'll
00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:53.460
see that on my social media awesome i'm gonna do
00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:56.180
it i'm definitely gonna do it and i'll put up a clip
00:19:56.180 --> 00:19:59.780
eventually and that happens you know
00:19:59.780 --> 00:20:02.620
speaking of coin magic it was a coin trick that got
00:20:02.620 --> 00:20:05.640
me started in magic when i was when i was a young man i
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:10.120
had a grandfather that could do this trick with a coin and he would make the
00:20:10.120 --> 00:20:15.180
coin banish and then produce it from behind my ear so i practiced that trick
00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:24.080
and i got pretty good at it i got so good at it i could pull my ear from the coin yeah yeah.
00:20:25.598 --> 00:20:31.258
So for those watching, instead of the coin disappearing and reappearing on the last time, his ear!
00:20:31.958 --> 00:20:36.538
The coin turned into his ear. Classic. That was for Scotty P in the chat.
00:20:37.118 --> 00:20:42.478
Scotty P wanted the silicone ear, so this is always in my bag of tricks these days.
00:20:42.898 --> 00:20:46.598
Unscheduled appearance. We don't need to talk about it. We can move on.
00:20:47.018 --> 00:20:50.898
But it is fun. That is fun. Let's talk more about things that look fake,
00:20:50.938 --> 00:20:55.358
but look real, but are fake. And you mentioned using the Sharpie marker with the mirror.
00:20:55.618 --> 00:21:02.138
And I think this portable from Danny Weisner, is it Weiser or Weisner? Weiser.
00:21:02.678 --> 00:21:07.858
This is a portable by Danny Weiser. It's meant as like a slap bracelet that you wear on your wrist.
00:21:07.918 --> 00:21:14.098
And I recall seeing Jason Maher use this in some of his mega viral videos.
00:21:14.118 --> 00:21:17.918
And I know we have these on sale and I haven't even really looked at the props.
00:21:17.918 --> 00:21:22.118
I thought beyond what he offers in the tutorial, which is kind of terse,
00:21:22.238 --> 00:21:27.098
maybe we could jam out a couple ideas for this thing. Kind of makes a nice visual vanish.
00:21:28.298 --> 00:21:32.218
That's super visual. Like, I'm just seeing that turn to nothing. Yeah.
00:21:33.205 --> 00:21:38.945
So essentially it's a slap bracelet that looks like a Sharpie marker if you're listening at home.
00:21:39.945 --> 00:21:44.785
Yeah. That was my first intention. When I'd seen the product being demoed,
00:21:44.825 --> 00:21:46.445
it was presented as a slap bracelet.
00:21:46.665 --> 00:21:51.065
But to me, my immediate thought was you could just make it vanish so clearly
00:21:51.065 --> 00:21:55.745
at the tips of your fingers. And I like that as an idea.
00:21:55.905 --> 00:21:59.285
And I think that if you're going to vanish one, there's
00:21:59.285 --> 00:22:02.645
there's there's sort of whenever whenever something something
00:22:02.645 --> 00:22:05.345
goes the question is where does it go so the idea of
00:22:05.345 --> 00:22:08.285
like vanishing it and producing one like like you know
00:22:08.285 --> 00:22:11.285
here would could be a fun idea like producing a
00:22:11.285 --> 00:22:14.645
real one you know so for those
00:22:14.645 --> 00:22:19.325
unfamiliar with the product he's he uses this as a transformation from a regular
00:22:19.325 --> 00:22:24.865
sharpie into the slap bracelet and the sharpies I don't think we're giving too
00:22:24.865 --> 00:22:29.345
much up it's on a reel so this goes up the sleeve up the coat down the pants
00:22:29.345 --> 00:22:34.545
whatever you do and it goes away this thing is introduced and then bang it's a slap bracelet now,
00:22:35.245 --> 00:22:37.685
Is it printed on both sides Tim asked?
00:22:37.825 --> 00:22:41.705
Wow Oh it is yeah the back doesn't have Yay the back,
00:22:42.289 --> 00:22:45.349
marking but you know if you do if you were to do a switch and
00:22:45.349 --> 00:22:48.909
even some time misdirection like me he suggests
00:22:48.909 --> 00:22:53.309
the reel and you know that's a pretty aggressive approach to this i think you
00:22:53.309 --> 00:22:56.849
could switch this on the offbeat could you could you have it so that you're
00:22:56.849 --> 00:23:00.609
actually producing it so so have it coiled up but now you're actually doing
00:23:00.609 --> 00:23:05.509
it right you know i thought this would be a good like i haven't tried this but
00:23:05.509 --> 00:23:08.269
yeah if you could put it in a like a point purse maybe.
00:23:09.069 --> 00:23:12.469
So i'd like one of my favorite productions is the fps wallet
00:23:12.469 --> 00:23:15.289
by brent braun i use this thing all the time you want
00:23:15.289 --> 00:23:18.289
a great product that produces a sharpie this thing is
00:23:18.289 --> 00:23:21.109
the brent braun's fps coin wallet we do offer these
00:23:21.109 --> 00:23:27.029
at trick supply also yeah bang that's a winner but that's the most ideal way
00:23:27.029 --> 00:23:31.549
yeah well it's a good one it's a good utility purse but i'm saying if you don't
00:23:31.549 --> 00:23:38.509
want to use a gimmick purse then this would allow you to start with a regular purse and can I... Sure.
00:23:39.069 --> 00:23:41.589
Ooh. Come on, baby. Yeah.
00:23:42.809 --> 00:23:45.829
Because I'm thinking that if you had it looped in your thumb,
00:23:46.049 --> 00:23:48.509
your hands could look relatively empty, right?
00:23:48.669 --> 00:23:54.069
You could just reach in and pull up and then show. Like...
00:23:55.351 --> 00:23:59.671
You know what I mean? Can I just say, you could also do it the other way.
00:23:59.891 --> 00:24:05.731
You could be done with the Sharpie. Just do a casual switch to the one while
00:24:05.731 --> 00:24:06.691
they're putting the cards away.
00:24:07.231 --> 00:24:10.651
Yeah. Put the coins back in the purse and put the Sharpie back in the purse.
00:24:11.431 --> 00:24:15.111
Some things to work out, but I'm sure that could be done. I think if your finger's
00:24:15.111 --> 00:24:17.531
in there to kind of loop it around as it goes in.
00:24:19.191 --> 00:24:23.471
Maybe you actually put it behind the purse and it goes on your thumb,
00:24:23.531 --> 00:24:26.951
but it looks like it's going in maybe. Oh, that works great.
00:24:28.771 --> 00:24:33.931
I love using it on the thumb. That's a smart, smart move. How fun.
00:24:34.411 --> 00:24:39.651
The other idea I was thinking of pre-show was that the pen vanish in the napkin
00:24:39.651 --> 00:24:42.991
kind of thing, where you fold up the napkin, get the spectator to hold it,
00:24:43.051 --> 00:24:46.951
and then you would collapse it. You could pre-steal it.
00:24:47.851 --> 00:24:52.791
I've got a weird thought. If you actually did that and you put a couple of bits
00:24:52.791 --> 00:24:56.391
of double stick tape on the front of it, you could actually stick that to something.
00:24:56.951 --> 00:25:02.191
And then when you snap, whatever it's actually stuck to it also vanish and wrap up with it as well.
00:25:02.311 --> 00:25:09.211
So it could be something as simple as a tissue or some sort of wrapping.
00:25:10.151 --> 00:25:16.351
Also magnetic. So you can hold it out with magnets and employ those methods.
00:25:16.711 --> 00:25:20.871
Here, I'm foreshadowing the next item, this magnetic popsicle stick,
00:25:21.011 --> 00:25:23.831
which I love. But it's my new favorite thing.
00:25:24.211 --> 00:25:28.511
But yeah, it's magnetic too for, you know, holding it out under your coat or even ditching it.
00:25:29.767 --> 00:25:34.787
Yeah, a nice one. So from memory, when Jason Ma used it, I think he used it
00:25:34.787 --> 00:25:38.367
in a pretty standard way that he started with it on his wrist.
00:25:38.947 --> 00:25:43.167
And I think he just peeled it off and then he did a change into a sharpie,
00:25:43.247 --> 00:25:44.507
real sharpie and kept going.
00:25:45.127 --> 00:25:47.547
Obviously you can do it the other way around. They finish with the sharpie,
00:25:47.647 --> 00:25:51.227
you do the sharpie change where you just flip sticking one and the other is
00:25:51.227 --> 00:25:55.227
producing and then just slap it on your arm. Obviously that's great.
00:25:55.387 --> 00:26:00.147
But yeah, the idea of people never knowing that it's that gimmick switching
00:26:00.147 --> 00:26:04.607
it into it so you can vanish it or appear it like a, like an appearing straw kind of thing.
00:26:05.407 --> 00:26:09.787
On sale now at Trick Supply, $12.99. When you order one, tell them you saw it
00:26:09.787 --> 00:26:12.847
on the Magic Guy so they know we're working hard for the cause.
00:26:13.807 --> 00:26:18.827
Hell yeah. You know what? You could do a vanish and then have Eject shoot another
00:26:18.827 --> 00:26:20.587
one in the air. Oh, come on.
00:26:21.427 --> 00:26:24.287
That's good. Yeah, baby. Yeah.
00:26:25.587 --> 00:26:31.007
Like, yeah. Dude, that Eject thing, man. Are you loving it? Do you use it all the time still?
00:26:31.627 --> 00:26:34.427
Yeah, I used it at Theater Magic. I used it at my corporate shows.
00:26:34.787 --> 00:26:39.407
It's just, it now makes it fun to, it just adds an extra bit that would normally
00:26:39.407 --> 00:26:43.367
just be you grabbing a Sharpie out of your jacket. But instead, it's boom.
00:26:44.187 --> 00:26:47.987
Yeah, let's use this. It's only a matter of time before they make one for like
00:26:47.987 --> 00:26:50.087
the Magnum Sharpie for stage.
00:26:50.327 --> 00:26:52.507
They'll make a big boy. You know what I mean?
00:26:52.967 --> 00:26:55.547
Here's something I noticed for anyone using it.
00:26:56.387 --> 00:27:00.227
The really, oh yeah, these ones here. So the really big Sharpies,
00:27:00.287 --> 00:27:02.007
these ones that have like the push button.
00:27:03.084 --> 00:27:07.044
I use these on stage because now I don't have to deal with a lid,
00:27:07.184 --> 00:27:10.884
right? A lid and the spectator's messing that up, so I bring these ones out.
00:27:11.204 --> 00:27:16.504
Because these ones are a little bit heavier and they're a little bit wider at
00:27:16.504 --> 00:27:22.144
the bottom, when you put this in the eject and you crank up the tension really
00:27:22.144 --> 00:27:25.764
high, you have to crank it up higher than normal because it is a heavier Sharpie.
00:27:26.064 --> 00:27:30.964
Instead of the regular Sharpies that fly out spinning, this one shoots out directly.
00:27:30.964 --> 00:27:38.124
It stays upright the whole time so it's super easy to grab out of the box whereas
00:27:38.124 --> 00:27:42.764
the smaller ones you really have to like practice being able to grab it in midair
00:27:42.764 --> 00:27:46.164
and i've dropped them plenty of times but this one shoots directly up it's like
00:27:46.164 --> 00:27:48.304
perfect it's just and you can just grab it,
00:27:49.364 --> 00:27:52.944
something you don't think about but you got to practice catching sharpies flying
00:27:52.944 --> 00:27:57.304
through the air you know it's not a gimme right yeah and you got to be careful
00:27:57.304 --> 00:28:01.564
how much you launch them because I have so many dints in my ceiling. Uh-oh.
00:28:03.624 --> 00:28:07.404
So you just want to be careful if you're shooting it into the chandelier of
00:28:07.404 --> 00:28:11.644
some sort of... It's a good trick and a nice self-defense. Yeah.
00:28:12.524 --> 00:28:16.344
Okay, what do we have next? All right, let me see. This is the idea,
00:28:16.644 --> 00:28:20.024
my latest idea with this thing. So it's with a penny.
00:28:20.684 --> 00:28:24.404
Yeah, put me on there. And I'm doing a trick with a penny, for God's sake.
00:28:24.584 --> 00:28:27.884
So as you can see at home, there's not much you can do with pennies.
00:28:28.444 --> 00:28:31.744
There's not much you can buy with a penny. Although when I was a kid,
00:28:31.764 --> 00:28:34.544
I could buy something with a penny. I could buy an ice cream bar.
00:28:34.624 --> 00:28:36.104
It was just a little one, though.
00:28:36.924 --> 00:28:41.364
So this is the introduction for the ice cream shtick paddle,
00:28:41.624 --> 00:28:45.444
which also includes a one-cent rebate. Oh, it's back.
00:28:45.704 --> 00:28:49.344
And using this paddle, we can do moves like this, where the coin apparently
00:28:49.344 --> 00:28:51.924
goes from one hand back to the paddle.
00:28:52.804 --> 00:28:56.744
And then there's also a surprise reveal of this.
00:28:57.710 --> 00:29:00.490
Of this paddle where apparently some of
00:29:00.490 --> 00:29:03.890
the chocolate melts to reveal essentially
00:29:03.890 --> 00:29:06.730
a playing card but i don't like
00:29:06.730 --> 00:29:09.930
that so i've been trying to think of other ways to finish this
00:29:09.930 --> 00:29:12.890
the the reveal will be white
00:29:12.890 --> 00:29:15.810
and it will be smaller than this coin which is
00:29:15.810 --> 00:29:19.830
hidden on this magnetic popsicle stick
00:29:19.830 --> 00:29:23.150
so if you're not watching if you're not watching the
00:29:23.150 --> 00:29:26.630
video i'm holding a miniature popsicle stick it's
00:29:26.630 --> 00:29:29.370
magnetic and it's hiding a penny on the
00:29:29.370 --> 00:29:32.130
back of it in this case which is how i
00:29:32.130 --> 00:29:35.070
produce the stick with the spellbound move and then using
00:29:35.070 --> 00:29:37.930
the paddle paddle move i'm able to show
00:29:37.930 --> 00:29:41.890
the stick clean and then the penny appears and
00:29:41.890 --> 00:29:46.890
then using the magnetic i can also do like a false placement using the paddle
00:29:46.890 --> 00:29:50.390
move and it comes back so those are some of the ideas from the instructions
00:29:50.390 --> 00:29:56.410
i think this little paddle trick is a gem with a lot of uh potential beyond
00:29:56.410 --> 00:30:01.850
what you're seeing and that final reveal as well what do you think so my brain goes a few places.
00:30:02.490 --> 00:30:05.850
You could do the standardized sort
00:30:05.850 --> 00:30:09.070
of routine but then you kind of want to take it somewhere you could i i
00:30:09.070 --> 00:30:12.230
would make i would actually like turn it into a pop stickle
00:30:12.230 --> 00:30:14.950
like the actual pop hate and pop stickle released by
00:30:14.950 --> 00:30:17.610
do scholar and like have the big one and just have a
00:30:17.610 --> 00:30:20.410
bite of it and and wrap up the yeah you know
00:30:20.410 --> 00:30:24.070
you could do this if you're using the Popshtickle sight
00:30:24.070 --> 00:30:26.950
gag and if you're not why not go buy one from Deuce
00:30:26.950 --> 00:30:30.350
Gala yeah this would make a perfect high end
00:30:30.350 --> 00:30:36.370
this little guy as a callback yeah Josh has got his going I don't have to be
00:30:36.370 --> 00:30:41.290
the only one on full screen oh mine also I just quickly I just quickly loaded
00:30:41.290 --> 00:30:45.970
up that big sharpie to see if it will if I can demonstrate what I've been saying
00:30:45.970 --> 00:30:48.490
about it shooting up straight so let me give this a go,
00:30:49.302 --> 00:30:52.822
Okay, it didn't do what I said it would do at that time. That's okay.
00:30:53.262 --> 00:30:57.042
Let me just try one more time here. Like an idiot. All right, here we go.
00:30:58.302 --> 00:31:02.442
And there we go. So it stays in one plane. It might deviate a tiny bit.
00:31:02.582 --> 00:31:06.142
But if I put a normal... I won't put a normal sharpie and it would put a hole
00:31:06.142 --> 00:31:07.782
in the roof. But yeah, buddy.
00:31:08.682 --> 00:31:11.682
Anyway, let me continue. Dragad here was saying that you could shrink it with
00:31:11.682 --> 00:31:13.222
a mirror, which is interesting.
00:31:14.230 --> 00:31:18.130
You can do it as a perspective illusion. You know, you could just be eating
00:31:18.130 --> 00:31:24.290
the thing and then do a swap-a-roo and then use the camera and be like, oh man.
00:31:25.010 --> 00:31:30.310
Yeah, because you could have the popstickle in like a tenkai, you know what I mean?
00:31:30.410 --> 00:31:33.850
And then just do a rotation as it comes up. And yeah, that'll look.
00:31:34.730 --> 00:31:40.090
Have we talked about the bombstickle yet? I happen to have this on my desk from
00:31:40.090 --> 00:31:42.150
Deuce Gala. Do you guys get one of these?
00:31:42.650 --> 00:31:44.650
Yeah, I've got one. Yeah.
00:31:45.430 --> 00:31:47.770
I definitely have one. We'll circle back to the chocolate one.
00:31:47.890 --> 00:31:52.690
I got one, but these aren't common in Oz. These aren't?
00:31:53.470 --> 00:31:56.470
No. I guess, well, the red, white, and blue is kind of an American thing,
00:31:56.630 --> 00:31:58.010
probably. That makes sense.
00:31:59.790 --> 00:32:04.070
Sorry, the geoffer. Yeah, I got this one as well. So I tell you what I've been
00:32:04.070 --> 00:32:07.430
trying to play with so far because, yeah, it's a little different in Australia with these.
00:32:08.090 --> 00:32:11.550
So I can't find the one that you've got there, Doug, but that's the one I've
00:32:11.550 --> 00:32:13.070
been trying out at the moment.
00:32:13.070 --> 00:32:17.030
And so in australia that's just a phallic device yeah
00:32:17.030 --> 00:32:20.170
pretty much so yeah i'm not really keen
00:32:20.170 --> 00:32:24.090
to just shove this in my mouth so what i've been doing is because
00:32:24.090 --> 00:32:27.170
in australia it's starting to get pretty hot at the moment so
00:32:27.170 --> 00:32:30.170
what i've been playing around with is producing this
00:32:30.170 --> 00:32:33.870
from my jacket and then going do you mind it's a little hot at the moment and
00:32:33.870 --> 00:32:37.430
then just starting to like rub it across my face and my neck and just seeing
00:32:37.430 --> 00:32:42.870
if like that gets a reaction as if like i'm trying to cool myself down and just
00:32:42.870 --> 00:32:46.010
kind of like obsessively like because you know if you really were doing that
00:32:46.010 --> 00:32:49.990
with an ice cream it would be super weird or an ice block because it's other ones,
00:32:50.824 --> 00:32:53.844
water-based but anyway that's why i'm kind of playing with it at the moment
00:32:53.844 --> 00:32:58.244
and i know this is gonna yeah thank you drag it here this is gonna end up as
00:32:58.244 --> 00:33:00.184
a bad meme i can tell but yet so.
00:33:01.404 --> 00:33:07.264
Starting to play around with it replace ice cream with penis yeah excellent
00:33:07.264 --> 00:33:11.644
if only i could do that with everything in life since we're talking about also
00:33:11.644 --> 00:33:15.744
a follow-up gag to this you know if you if you want to overdo it you produce
00:33:15.744 --> 00:33:20.184
this then you pull this out you want one i got bomb bombs yeah Well,
00:33:20.344 --> 00:33:25.164
I have a, another thought is if you take the ice cream, ice creams melt.
00:33:25.364 --> 00:33:31.464
So you could take Tobias's liquid kit and maybe have the ice cream,
00:33:31.604 --> 00:33:36.144
place your hand down and then have it melt to liquid brown, a brown liquid.
00:33:37.244 --> 00:33:40.204
That would be a good tie in either one of those items.
00:33:40.444 --> 00:33:43.384
Seeing it so little and it makes that little puddle. I feel like that would
00:33:43.384 --> 00:33:46.204
kind of work pretty nicely if you were doing it at a table set,
00:33:46.364 --> 00:33:48.964
especially, and then you could sort of lean into doing something.
00:33:48.964 --> 00:33:51.904
You could maybe like go from melting it turning into a
00:33:51.904 --> 00:33:54.524
hershey's which they can give them which i think it's something that he
00:33:54.524 --> 00:33:58.144
teaches something of that caliber as well yeah or
00:33:58.144 --> 00:34:01.264
you know getting a stick and turning it into a sort
00:34:01.264 --> 00:34:04.084
of lint ball that's on a stick or something like that nature
00:34:04.084 --> 00:34:07.044
but like it can segue into something if
00:34:07.044 --> 00:34:10.524
you melted it using tobias's liquefy do
00:34:10.524 --> 00:34:13.904
you do you have one of those either of you like yeah yeah
00:34:13.904 --> 00:34:16.824
have you used it tried that played with it i i've only
00:34:16.824 --> 00:34:19.984
ticket with it for parlor sets but not for my rooting sets yeah
00:34:19.984 --> 00:34:22.684
yeah the other thing i'd put
00:34:22.684 --> 00:34:25.444
out there for the that ice cream the one doug has
00:34:25.444 --> 00:34:29.384
the magnetic one is you know since it's a silly prop anyway and we're talking
00:34:29.384 --> 00:34:34.284
about juice gala why don't we lucky ladybug it like why don't you stick a ladybug
00:34:34.284 --> 00:34:39.884
on one side and now you've got an extra moment in the routine where you bring
00:34:39.884 --> 00:34:44.244
out the the ice cream you tap it boom you show it empty now you've got a.
00:34:45.018 --> 00:34:49.478
I've been chatting with Deuce Gala with Buck. I had an idea for making the Ladybug a paddle trick.
00:34:49.638 --> 00:34:55.178
And so I've had this idea for making, instead of cards with Ladybug, it's a log.
00:34:55.898 --> 00:34:59.358
And it's kind of a fresh idea, and I'm letting the cat out of the bag,
00:34:59.438 --> 00:35:00.738
but fuck it, it's my idea anyway.
00:35:01.018 --> 00:35:07.518
So, you know, my initial idea was based on a hot rod trick called Transpot by,
00:35:07.558 --> 00:35:11.018
I don't know, it's on the website, Johnson.
00:35:11.398 --> 00:35:14.558
But it's a vanishing spot with a hot rod force.
00:35:15.018 --> 00:35:20.078
So you show six colors, someone picks a color, and that spot vanishes from the paddle.
00:35:20.338 --> 00:35:23.918
And I just said, well, this could be a log, and it could be bugs.
00:35:24.218 --> 00:35:27.698
And now the ladybug trick is a log and a paddle.
00:35:28.298 --> 00:35:30.778
And I think bugs still play with some ideas.
00:35:31.418 --> 00:35:36.178
Recently, a rediscovery is Sawa published an idea with the paddle move and appearing
00:35:36.178 --> 00:35:39.698
ladybugs in his library of magic books.
00:35:39.858 --> 00:35:43.978
Great books. But if you want to kind of see this idea come to life, look there.
00:35:43.978 --> 00:35:46.958
Hell yeah so yeah it's already in the ecosphere i
00:35:46.958 --> 00:35:50.478
love it buck also sent me the his extension
00:35:50.478 --> 00:35:55.538
pack of lucky ladybug where there's four cards now oh yeah it's essentially
00:35:55.538 --> 00:36:01.118
if well it's it's just essentially if you want to be able to do two appearances
00:36:01.118 --> 00:36:05.098
of luck of ladybugs because now there's four cards there's two that have it
00:36:05.098 --> 00:36:08.998
and two that don't have it so you can do whatever.
00:36:09.758 --> 00:36:13.598
Frustration counts or Mexican turnovers or just double lifts or whatever to
00:36:13.598 --> 00:36:17.378
show that there was four of them and then you can have two people essentially
00:36:17.378 --> 00:36:23.798
wave their hands over and Or start with three ladybugs and one vanishes and two going Yeah,
00:36:24.394 --> 00:36:29.194
Yeah, and this new version has, instead of being logs, it's leaves on the back
00:36:29.194 --> 00:36:31.754
of it. Yeah, that's right, which is kind of nice.
00:36:32.454 --> 00:36:35.874
Hey, Buck Cohen, how happy are you? We're talking about your products for 30
00:36:35.874 --> 00:36:37.934
minutes today. Yeah, boy.
00:36:39.894 --> 00:36:43.934
Dude, he makes good stuff. Good guy, too. Deserves all the show. Great guy.
00:36:44.474 --> 00:36:49.974
Yeah, I love it. So, yeah, I like all the brainstorming and thinking that's
00:36:49.974 --> 00:36:53.374
going into not just what was already a great effect, But now this extension
00:36:53.374 --> 00:36:57.554
pack and playing with ideas that you've got with the making a log is perfect.
00:36:57.734 --> 00:37:01.154
Like I'm saying the ice cream could already work. And obviously it's just,
00:37:01.274 --> 00:37:04.514
it's an ice cream is silly to have a ladybug, but if you're going to make it
00:37:04.514 --> 00:37:06.114
into a log, bloody great.
00:37:07.001 --> 00:37:11.101
15 bucks. Ice cream shtick. You can't buy a good trick for less than 20 bucks
00:37:11.101 --> 00:37:14.641
anymore, but you can at Trick Supply. Ice cream shtick.
00:37:15.361 --> 00:37:16.921
Terry LeGerald. He's a smart one.
00:37:17.681 --> 00:37:21.621
Yeah. Hell yeah. What do you say we break it up with a gig story,
00:37:21.801 --> 00:37:25.041
friends, and just have a little pellet claim? Yeah. Let's get out of the garbage.
00:37:26.121 --> 00:37:30.841
Let's do it. So Gig Stories is a section of the show where we talk about things
00:37:30.841 --> 00:37:34.041
that have happened in our magical life, either from day to day or doing gigs.
00:37:34.321 --> 00:37:38.761
And Josh has a cool story to tell. and video yeah
00:37:38.761 --> 00:37:41.541
well i'll just it's simple and it was
00:37:41.541 --> 00:37:44.381
just a plan that i had in mind and i
00:37:44.381 --> 00:37:47.261
executed it and fortunately it's on camera so i
00:37:47.261 --> 00:37:50.721
can show you the proof but to set the scene i
00:37:50.721 --> 00:37:53.741
was at an event and i invited these these
00:37:53.741 --> 00:37:56.681
two people from the event to come and see the theater of
00:37:56.681 --> 00:38:00.001
magic because that's one of the beautiful things about having a ticketed
00:38:00.001 --> 00:38:03.261
show is that when you meet people and they ask you where do you normally perform you
00:38:03.261 --> 00:38:06.841
have a place to you know tell them so I
00:38:06.841 --> 00:38:12.161
invited them and I knew I had like three weeks before they were going to be
00:38:12.161 --> 00:38:17.521
there and this gentleman his name's Jesse great guy and his partner Lara they
00:38:17.521 --> 00:38:23.481
I know that he's the director of a rum company right they sell like a white
00:38:23.481 --> 00:38:25.881
rum I tasted it at the event it's great.
00:38:26.921 --> 00:38:32.781
So I'm like okay great I know what I need to do my plan was I'm going to order his rum,
00:38:33.381 --> 00:38:36.901
and make it appear in the show because I already do a thing where I make a bottle
00:38:36.901 --> 00:38:38.621
appear in the show how cool would
00:38:38.621 --> 00:38:44.621
it be if it was his so I immediately immediately go online and I buy it
00:38:45.061 --> 00:38:49.921
ships to my house I look at it I'm like oh this is a little it's short but it's
00:38:49.921 --> 00:38:54.901
a little wider than I'm I'm usually used to concealing but I'm like I have to
00:38:54.901 --> 00:38:57.361
do it so and I just patiently wait,
00:38:57.941 --> 00:39:02.121
comes to the show he doesn't arrive straight away so I'm like oh I hope I haven't
00:39:02.121 --> 00:39:05.801
done all this in like he might miss the first part of the show or not turn up or whatever.
00:39:06.041 --> 00:39:09.661
But he turns up and him turning up almost as we're about to start.
00:39:10.378 --> 00:39:15.138
Makes it even a little bit better because now he just has like even less assumption
00:39:15.138 --> 00:39:19.578
that like i might include no one would think it anyway but like now there's
00:39:19.578 --> 00:39:23.738
just less anything that i might do something knowing he's here specifically
00:39:23.738 --> 00:39:28.638
so i'm in the show i tell my friends i tell nigel,
00:39:29.178 --> 00:39:33.458
sean murgaard that's there like this whole thing and i and i pull out the rum
00:39:33.458 --> 00:39:37.338
and they're all excited they're like oh my god this is so good this is gonna
00:39:37.338 --> 00:39:40.938
be so good but in the back of my mind I'm like you know they might not react
00:39:40.938 --> 00:39:43.978
at all and it doesn't matter and you know it's fine,
00:39:44.558 --> 00:39:47.358
I'm not even going to bring it up that it's his
00:39:47.358 --> 00:39:50.418
rhyme I'm just going to do it as a little wink you
00:39:50.418 --> 00:39:53.338
know a little head nod move on with the show but what
00:39:53.338 --> 00:39:58.778
I can say is I did it I made it appear in the show and I he definitely noticed
00:39:58.778 --> 00:40:02.718
and I couldn't have asked for a better response so yeah I'm going to play this
00:40:02.718 --> 00:40:07.158
moment so what you're going to see is me with a bandana and I'm like I'm doing
00:40:07.158 --> 00:40:11.358
like my coin routine and like David Stone coin routine where at the end.
00:40:12.403 --> 00:40:15.603
In like seven seconds into when I hit start, you're going to see this bottle
00:40:15.603 --> 00:40:17.063
appear. And I've got two cameras.
00:40:17.243 --> 00:40:22.103
I've got the footage of me and I've got Nigel's phone filming the guy.
00:40:22.423 --> 00:40:24.363
So you can see it simultaneously.
00:40:24.723 --> 00:40:26.223
Anyway, here it is.
00:40:26.843 --> 00:40:31.143
A loud moment of misdirection to bring the coin back behind my elbow or as a
00:40:31.143 --> 00:40:35.863
kid behind my ear over tonight to celebrate with a nice bottle.
00:40:38.063 --> 00:40:38.823
Oh yeah!
00:40:44.483 --> 00:40:46.123
Thank you thank you thank you,
00:40:49.743 --> 00:40:52.503
that normally happens at the end of the show but i appreciate that,
00:40:55.603 --> 00:41:00.003
nice and then i gave it away to someone box it up gave it away to the person
00:41:00.003 --> 00:41:03.783
that was helping throughout that routine it was and then it was like a little call back to the rum,
00:41:04.743 --> 00:41:08.743
and for anyone listening to that on spotify it probably just edited out all
00:41:08.743 --> 00:41:11.003
that background noise but you can see it on YouTube.
00:41:11.483 --> 00:41:15.743
Basically, he stood up and gave an immediate standing ovation like,
00:41:15.763 --> 00:41:17.483
you know, seven minutes into the show.
00:41:18.403 --> 00:41:24.643
So I think he noticed. That's a legit, real magic moment. It's like miracle class.
00:41:25.003 --> 00:41:26.583
So deserve it.
00:41:27.063 --> 00:41:32.203
I think, yeah, I think just the lesson for me to remember is like anytime I
00:41:32.203 --> 00:41:36.263
can get some info on someone who's coming to the show and I can use that info
00:41:36.263 --> 00:41:38.483
in some way, do it, you know?
00:41:39.223 --> 00:41:42.623
It's the element of surprise is the same feeling as magic.
00:41:42.843 --> 00:41:47.623
So it's, it's like, it's, it's like a watermelon just appeared under a hat for
00:41:47.623 --> 00:41:49.043
him. It's like, Oh my God.
00:41:49.203 --> 00:41:53.223
Like, I, uh, I just finished reading a book called, I just finished reading
00:41:53.223 --> 00:41:56.203
a book called unreasonable hospitality. It was written by the guy who,
00:41:56.303 --> 00:42:00.203
I forget his name, but he, he like had 11 Madison Avenue, which was the number
00:42:00.203 --> 00:42:02.223
one restaurant in the world in New York.
00:42:02.483 --> 00:42:06.083
And basically it's, it's like a magic thing.
00:42:06.615 --> 00:42:09.855
Like his methods that he does to run the place are effectively magic
00:42:09.855 --> 00:42:12.955
just by overhearing people and observing
00:42:12.955 --> 00:42:15.815
people he will purposely have things in place to
00:42:15.815 --> 00:42:18.655
ensure that they have an amazing experience so one
00:42:18.655 --> 00:42:21.295
thing that he would do right is there was like a
00:42:21.295 --> 00:42:24.775
bunch of foodies that came in i said you know what we've tried every michelin
00:42:24.775 --> 00:42:27.635
restaurant in new york but we're flying off the only thing we haven't
00:42:27.635 --> 00:42:31.015
done is we didn't bother getting like a one dollar hot dog from a hot dog stand
00:42:31.015 --> 00:42:35.815
and so he heard that ran down the street grabbed like four hot dogs brought
00:42:35.815 --> 00:42:38.815
them back to the chef and said plate these up pronto and then was like look
00:42:38.815 --> 00:42:42.475
i know you haven't tried your hot dogs yet so here they are and they like gourmet
00:42:42.475 --> 00:42:45.995
them up and gave it to them so just those little moments of like knowing your
00:42:45.995 --> 00:42:47.335
audience when they're coming in,
00:42:47.835 --> 00:42:53.915
and he talks about this whole process with regards to like just having tons of stuff prepared
00:42:54.315 --> 00:42:57.015
and so i've started to think of ideas i'm like okay i
00:42:57.015 --> 00:42:59.815
should just keep one cupcake for every show just in case it's
00:42:59.815 --> 00:43:02.555
someone's birthday and then go boom happy birthday and
00:43:02.555 --> 00:43:06.015
we all sing give it to them like one like when
00:43:06.015 --> 00:43:08.955
someone rocks up with their luggage to to eat they're either just
00:43:08.955 --> 00:43:11.895
arrived and it's the first place they're going or they're about to fly out
00:43:11.895 --> 00:43:14.935
and it's the last place they want to go so identify that
00:43:14.935 --> 00:43:18.355
and if they're about to leave yeah look the food in the plane is gonna suck
00:43:18.355 --> 00:43:22.015
this is on us take this with you so you got something nice to eat in the plane
00:43:22.015 --> 00:43:26.175
and all of a sudden their customer experience is like through the roof so short
00:43:26.175 --> 00:43:31.055
of stalking think about it and know what you can bring to the game if you know
00:43:31.055 --> 00:43:33.115
the special people are coming to Your show is the lesson.
00:43:33.675 --> 00:43:37.855
So yeah. The other thing you can do is when you meet people after the gig,
00:43:38.015 --> 00:43:41.435
just write down little notes of, of like specific things so that if you get
00:43:41.435 --> 00:43:45.695
booked for that event the next year, you have some ammo, you know, ready to go.
00:43:46.513 --> 00:43:52.453
There's a magician that gave some crazy fire advice to me, which was like at
00:43:52.453 --> 00:43:55.113
a gig, they will do an effect.
00:43:55.113 --> 00:43:58.553
I can't give it away because it's not really, I don't just have permission to
00:43:58.553 --> 00:44:03.013
do this, but like he will get a bunch of information from a person for an effect,
00:44:03.013 --> 00:44:07.413
but he won't reveal all of the things that he got information of.
00:44:07.753 --> 00:44:11.373
So it's like he'll get them to write down like three things and he'll reveal
00:44:11.373 --> 00:44:12.453
one of them, for example.
00:44:12.633 --> 00:44:15.833
And the other two things he'll keep a note of for next
00:44:15.833 --> 00:44:18.973
time he sees them in like six months so that
00:44:18.973 --> 00:44:21.973
if he can if he can segue into them
00:44:21.973 --> 00:44:24.973
thinking of something now it's in real time
00:44:24.973 --> 00:44:28.293
no no writing stuff down no nothing
00:44:28.293 --> 00:44:32.293
and just boom yeah so that's
00:44:32.293 --> 00:44:35.933
power yeah yeah preparation is power baby all
00:44:35.933 --> 00:44:38.633
right shall we circle back and get creative because one of
00:44:38.633 --> 00:44:41.653
the things that doug said was we should bring one thing from
00:44:41.653 --> 00:44:44.953
our drawers slash cupboards that maybe the
00:44:44.953 --> 00:44:47.893
people may not know about so i would like to share
00:44:47.893 --> 00:44:51.653
a little something that i do quite regularly so
00:44:51.653 --> 00:44:54.573
let me share this with you guys so whenever you're producing a jumbo coin
00:44:54.573 --> 00:44:57.193
someone inevitably is going to go like oh was this
00:44:57.193 --> 00:45:00.713
filled with chocolate like they just it just happens all the time and so like
00:45:00.713 --> 00:45:04.733
there's a cool little gap you can get where you can do this and you can show
00:45:04.733 --> 00:45:08.993
that there is chocolate inside and just by like sealing it up like so you can
00:45:08.993 --> 00:45:16.613
then give it back to them and away you go right it's awesome now this is a little gaffe made by.
00:45:17.573 --> 00:45:20.593
How we've not had him on the show yet we're gonna have to ask him beg him to
00:45:20.593 --> 00:45:25.673
come bizarro it is called foiled again so when i was in vegas i knew this existed
00:45:25.673 --> 00:45:29.653
and so i said hey man like i know you do this thing with chocolate can you hook
00:45:29.653 --> 00:45:31.473
a brother up and he goes yep and so,
00:45:32.173 --> 00:45:36.953
i'm gonna assume that bizarro i know he pops into the shop would you have these
00:45:36.953 --> 00:45:41.393
on hand at trick supply I have them in the counter in the showroom.
00:45:42.138 --> 00:45:45.058
Uh yeah foiled again give me one second yeah yeah
00:45:45.058 --> 00:45:47.918
i cannot recommend this enough
00:45:47.918 --> 00:45:51.418
especially if there's kids and it's a great way to end stuff so like because
00:45:51.418 --> 00:45:54.238
i do a lot of stuff where like i hand the chocolate out and
00:45:54.238 --> 00:45:58.818
then i take this i peel back the foil and i just go cool you guys have fun i'm
00:45:58.818 --> 00:46:02.578
gonna have my treat and i just walk away with the chocolate exposed like this
00:46:02.578 --> 00:46:08.678
and just walk away from the situation so this for the money is a banger man
00:46:08.678 --> 00:46:12.858
the recommendation This is Bizarro's version of a Paul Harris idea.
00:46:13.118 --> 00:46:17.818
He put the idea for a chocolate coin in one of his early books.
00:46:17.818 --> 00:46:19.158
It's in The Art of Astonishment.
00:46:19.378 --> 00:46:21.758
Wow, who doesn't have Art of Astonishment?
00:46:22.538 --> 00:46:25.358
And, you know, a good version of this Michael Weber published,
00:46:25.598 --> 00:46:28.398
I think he called it Peeler or something like that.
00:46:29.078 --> 00:46:33.038
You take a piece of a magazine and you peel back the top cover.
00:46:33.278 --> 00:46:36.658
Like if it's a car magazine, you're like, yeah, you can look at the engine underneath
00:46:36.658 --> 00:46:41.758
and you peel it back. and there's the, you know, image of a car underneath a car.
00:46:42.258 --> 00:46:48.338
Yeah, so there's other applications for this idea. You know what this makes me think of? Separate.
00:46:49.556 --> 00:46:55.036
Separate to food someone's got to make like an iphone version where you you
00:46:55.036 --> 00:46:58.816
can pull back that you can peel back the back of someone's phone and it's like
00:46:58.816 --> 00:47:01.036
all these like yeah that's a buy,
00:47:01.576 --> 00:47:08.796
spyware things or something yeah man that'd be a that'd be a banger i've seen to buy go ahead,
00:47:09.276 --> 00:47:12.096
i've seen tobias do it with a coin he does this whole bit where
00:47:12.096 --> 00:47:14.776
he has a coin then he like opens it up and then closes the
00:47:14.776 --> 00:47:17.496
coin back up again and gives it out like yeah like it's
00:47:17.496 --> 00:47:20.616
an electric coin that does all kinds of stuff alex is
00:47:20.616 --> 00:47:23.716
asking if it comes in a normal dollar size i have seen someone release
00:47:23.716 --> 00:47:28.296
it recently this type of effect where you can do it with with a normal size
00:47:28.296 --> 00:47:33.356
dollar but in my opinion it's so small that the squeeze ain't worth the juice
00:47:33.356 --> 00:47:38.356
but with the jumbo it is yeah people by nature understand that like there is
00:47:38.356 --> 00:47:41.396
like i mean it's an existing product like big Like,
00:47:41.876 --> 00:47:43.416
chocolate coins are a thing.
00:47:44.516 --> 00:47:47.556
Yeah, makes sense. I like it. Yeah.
00:47:47.796 --> 00:47:51.496
And yeah, we need to get Bizarro on here. Like, he's the brother.
00:47:51.656 --> 00:47:53.316
I see him a lot. He comes in the shop.
00:47:53.596 --> 00:47:56.576
You know, even if he just needs a thumbtip, he'll come pick it up at Trick Supply
00:47:56.576 --> 00:47:58.956
instead of ordering it online because he's just a bro.
00:47:59.336 --> 00:48:03.876
You know, so it's like, always great to see him. I don't know that there's a
00:48:03.876 --> 00:48:06.016
nicer guy. I mean, wow, what a creative force.
00:48:06.976 --> 00:48:10.676
Yeah. Late Night Magic opening back up this month.
00:48:10.816 --> 00:48:15.936
The magician's room and the link they built a whole room for magic on the link
00:48:15.936 --> 00:48:21.376
promenade link promenade feral dylan's moving there dark stone show he's going
00:48:21.376 --> 00:48:27.616
to do some illusions the late night magic show and also the conjurers are coming
00:48:27.616 --> 00:48:30.656
back to town to work that room it's exciting right.
00:48:31.516 --> 00:48:34.376
Damn, it's all happening over there. You know, a whole room for magic.
00:48:34.656 --> 00:48:37.796
You know, a showroom devoted to magic is, I think, just great.
00:48:37.916 --> 00:48:41.216
All day long, magic shows. And the late night show is a killer.
00:48:41.996 --> 00:48:45.216
Stellar idea. All right, so Josh, what are you going to share with us today?
00:48:45.536 --> 00:48:51.516
Look, man, I mean, to be honest, my Juice Gala, the extension pack was the thing I was going to bring up.
00:48:51.696 --> 00:48:55.756
Oh, yeah. But I do also have this, which I've never used an actual trick.
00:48:56.276 --> 00:49:00.956
This is not even a trick. It's just you literally just buy this fidget spinner toy.
00:49:00.956 --> 00:49:04.096
But like it's essentially yeah two-sided rubik's cube
00:49:04.096 --> 00:49:09.116
the edges have colors on them as well but you can spin it and so i've used this
00:49:09.116 --> 00:49:15.176
for a trick once in a video where i started by showing this came back put a
00:49:15.176 --> 00:49:20.636
silk over it boom and now it's a real fully sized cube um i don't know like
00:49:20.636 --> 00:49:23.836
there's got to be a way to incorporate this somehow which would be a bit of fun right,
00:49:24.396 --> 00:49:27.356
like yeah i mean because like tinkering with a
00:49:27.356 --> 00:49:30.436
cube isn't too reminiscent of fidgeting
00:49:30.436 --> 00:49:33.376
with the spinner you know like there's there's
00:49:33.376 --> 00:49:36.576
a correlation between that i'm sure you could bridge that gap and have
00:49:36.576 --> 00:49:39.896
an effect that's a pretty cool idea yeah like
00:49:39.896 --> 00:49:42.916
and i know i know henry harris has the wafer cube
00:49:42.916 --> 00:49:45.776
out now which is great too but maybe there's something where like
00:49:45.776 --> 00:49:48.436
as this is spinning you're talking about something and in
00:49:48.436 --> 00:49:51.296
this hand maybe you are actually starting to solve it
00:49:51.296 --> 00:49:56.096
before this stops or you know something to be some kind of visual to play with
00:49:56.096 --> 00:50:00.196
i always see it sitting on my desk but i never take it out into the battlefield
00:50:00.196 --> 00:50:06.276
i just steve fierson had a method for floating fidget spinners you know using
00:50:06.276 --> 00:50:10.296
his uh right mega hookup floating cigarette okay.
00:50:11.156 --> 00:50:15.476
If you've seen people float coins or rings that's basically steve's you know
00:50:15.476 --> 00:50:21.956
lineage and doing a fidget spinner makes perfect sense yeah or maybe like you
00:50:21.956 --> 00:50:23.936
give it to the spectator like this and And you're like,
00:50:24.016 --> 00:50:28.316
I bet I can solve this big one before you can solve this small one or something.
00:50:29.481 --> 00:50:33.261
You know so they're like this and you're like ah too late i don't know yeah,
00:50:35.561 --> 00:50:39.361
actually maybe you do the bag gag where you have two
00:50:39.361 --> 00:50:42.101
solved ones but they think it goes in you know you know
00:50:42.101 --> 00:50:45.961
the gag you make them think there's an extra one maybe while they're
00:50:45.961 --> 00:50:48.681
quickly doing that you just shove mixed one the bag
00:50:48.681 --> 00:50:51.601
pull out the solved one ah see i did it they're like no you didn't yeah or
00:50:51.601 --> 00:50:54.741
if you have the thin one you put it on top you and it blows
00:50:54.741 --> 00:50:57.681
up into a bigger one like you can yeah you know
00:50:57.681 --> 00:51:01.141
some sort of like yeah so
00:51:01.141 --> 00:51:04.141
just a bit of a surrealist thing benjamin cox here says that
00:51:04.141 --> 00:51:06.981
i have a sponge cube and at the end of my rubik's cube routine when
00:51:06.981 --> 00:51:09.801
they ask to check it out i do the change i pass them a sponge
00:51:09.801 --> 00:51:15.721
cube and it freaks them out that's a clever idea yeah yeah i i've also i like
00:51:15.721 --> 00:51:20.401
the idea that um you could also have one that's glued together and doesn't move
00:51:20.401 --> 00:51:24.301
so like you give that to them i don't know if that make i don't know if that
00:51:24.301 --> 00:51:26.981
that enhances anything but like it's kind of funny,
00:51:27.581 --> 00:51:30.561
saying to someone can you mix up the cube and they can't because it's glued
00:51:30.561 --> 00:51:33.541
but then you bring it back and you're like what the hell like yeah just do that.
00:51:35.281 --> 00:51:38.741
That could kind of be funny yeah sponge cube is great yeah,
00:51:39.249 --> 00:51:43.549
There was a great trick at Magic Live, which involves the beginning part of the routine.
00:51:44.149 --> 00:51:49.229
When you hand it out, the cube just explodes when they go to mix it up. That's kind of funny.
00:51:49.769 --> 00:51:54.529
It just all falls apart. Like every piece just goes. Yeah, I was privy to see
00:51:54.529 --> 00:51:58.129
a very cool gaffe in order to allow people to mix cubes behind their backs.
00:51:58.369 --> 00:52:02.229
I will, I'll chat to you off air because I can't, I don't have the permission
00:52:02.229 --> 00:52:05.209
to share exactly what that is, but let me share something fun with you once I get off air.
00:52:05.369 --> 00:52:08.469
And let's circle back while we have, you know, a good six minutes left.
00:52:08.469 --> 00:52:11.909
What do we have in the bucket doug for sure
00:52:11.909 --> 00:52:14.729
i wanted to talk about this thing i've had
00:52:14.729 --> 00:52:19.189
the pleasure of meeting some local uh social
00:52:19.189 --> 00:52:22.649
media really icons pas magic has
00:52:22.649 --> 00:52:25.929
been in the shop this guy's got 12 million followers i
00:52:25.929 --> 00:52:28.689
think on tiktok and another six on youtube and then
00:52:28.689 --> 00:52:32.149
rodrigo they've been filming with matt franco what
00:52:32.149 --> 00:52:34.849
so if you're on matt franco's feed and you see a
00:52:34.849 --> 00:52:37.529
couple other magicians they've got a whole little powwow of just
00:52:37.529 --> 00:52:40.209
social media magic energy and you get
00:52:40.209 --> 00:52:44.029
a guy like with 12 million followers he knows what he's doing rodrigo is
00:52:44.029 --> 00:52:47.169
in the shop and he had this idea for a video in a coffee
00:52:47.169 --> 00:52:50.149
shop and he wanted to have a napkin come to
00:52:50.149 --> 00:52:53.749
life so we discussed some options for electronic thread
00:52:53.749 --> 00:52:56.849
reels there's some interesting things out there and i
00:52:56.849 --> 00:52:59.729
discovered this one and i had this idea for doing a
00:52:59.729 --> 00:53:02.809
a trick with a tissue where if
00:53:02.809 --> 00:53:05.749
a magician has to sneeze i was playing with hookups
00:53:05.749 --> 00:53:08.689
you saw me at the beginning of the stream i think i just figured out
00:53:08.689 --> 00:53:12.089
this one where i can use the coffee cup so there's the
00:53:12.089 --> 00:53:17.129
there's the tissue box now let's see if i can get this nope let's try again
00:53:17.129 --> 00:53:21.929
almost let me try it again let me do one more setup the murphy's law and i've
00:53:21.929 --> 00:53:25.689
never practiced this i'm going through this is an electronic thread reel on
00:53:25.689 --> 00:53:31.589
a 12 inch silk the silk is going into the box and it was probably tucked in the box too tightly.
00:53:32.471 --> 00:53:35.831
What I'm looking to do is get two movements from the silk. So I want it to fly
00:53:35.831 --> 00:53:40.271
away from me towards the cup and then come around and then come back.
00:53:40.731 --> 00:53:42.911
And then I would sneeze. That's great.
00:53:44.011 --> 00:53:48.731
Could you have a... Oh, you can't because you've got a trigger from your hand.
00:53:48.771 --> 00:53:52.211
But I was thinking like, could you have it hooked up so that then you can press
00:53:52.211 --> 00:53:55.271
it again and it flies off because it's still rigged to the next bit.
00:53:55.871 --> 00:53:57.531
Can I share... Quite a bit of rigging.
00:53:58.271 --> 00:54:02.211
You know what it is. It's a one-trick pony. It's got a button. It works by batteries.
00:54:02.471 --> 00:54:05.451
And there's a safety pin at the end of this. If I don't have any rigmarole,
00:54:05.671 --> 00:54:12.471
it's a great, it's just like zippy as it's, oh, it's a great little electronic reel. Yeah.
00:54:13.431 --> 00:54:17.171
There's, there's, there was one, I only did this once, which has upsets me because
00:54:17.171 --> 00:54:20.251
I guess I don't have the environment to perform it, but this is going to be great.
00:54:20.311 --> 00:54:23.691
Cause I might try and put this into a theater or magic show at some point.
00:54:23.791 --> 00:54:28.051
But what's really cool is if you do have a high ceiling, a large scale stage,
00:54:28.211 --> 00:54:30.571
you can do a bit with the balloon.
00:54:30.571 --> 00:54:34.111
Like like for example you could do like gypsy balloon do
00:54:34.111 --> 00:54:37.131
all your shtick and then you could have that balloon fly
00:54:37.131 --> 00:54:40.531
away and because it's attached to that thread when
00:54:40.531 --> 00:54:44.871
you activate it that balloon will now come back to you i feel like that's a
00:54:44.871 --> 00:54:49.671
valid idea but this this thing has one speed just for this reel anyway and it's
00:54:49.671 --> 00:54:56.751
go fast right so for a balloon effect probably not you want the most awesome
00:54:56.751 --> 00:55:00.311
bill snatcher in existence it's this right,
00:55:01.476 --> 00:55:05.756
But what else? Like what else could you attach it to? Yeah.
00:55:07.036 --> 00:55:11.056
How about you knock something over with it? So let's, could you have it like relatively loose,
00:55:11.536 --> 00:55:15.396
so that it's doing this type of thing flat and then you have maybe just like
00:55:15.396 --> 00:55:18.676
a pencil or a glue stick, something that's going to stand up vertically and
00:55:18.676 --> 00:55:22.636
then when you can reference it, the tension of it will just knock it over.
00:55:23.096 --> 00:55:25.996
Like the empty plastic bottle. Yeah, so you just put this in gear.
00:55:26.236 --> 00:55:31.516
So you have like, let's say that it'd be like a V shape and then just by pressing
00:55:31.516 --> 00:55:37.536
it like it'll just Oh, it's not animating an object it's triggering a secret
00:55:37.536 --> 00:55:39.756
action Oh, Nick, you're a genius,
00:55:40.556 --> 00:55:44.916
You have it anchored to the table and then you loop it around the bottle so
00:55:44.916 --> 00:55:48.596
it'll pull the pull it tight Yeah.
00:55:50.276 --> 00:55:53.616
Obviously you can do a rising card with it too if you have it anchored to the
00:55:53.616 --> 00:55:58.256
table the glasses in front of it Let me talk about the rising card for a second,
00:55:59.176 --> 00:56:01.356
I read a great one earlier today. I'll share a little.
00:56:01.876 --> 00:56:06.296
Here's a thought I had. This is, again, untested. But if you had a handkerchief in your coat.
00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:10.359
Yeah it was out and and if it
00:56:10.359 --> 00:56:14.079
hit the floor now theoretically yeah
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:16.979
there it went so so now it's on the floor and
00:56:16.979 --> 00:56:22.019
when you need it back it gets back up there i like that a lot especially if
00:56:22.019 --> 00:56:27.799
you if you put a bigger nodule thing on on where you need to press so you can
00:56:27.799 --> 00:56:32.479
easily trigger it from in your pocket you know yeah this is pretty pretty tiny
00:56:32.479 --> 00:56:34.539
getting into it through the fabric but,
00:56:35.279 --> 00:56:38.299
that's the idea of having a pocket hang like you know dabbing
00:56:38.299 --> 00:56:41.139
your head for a second throwing it up and it goes back right like that's
00:56:41.139 --> 00:56:44.519
a great running gag yeah it looks
00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:47.999
really strong i just wonder if there could be some sort of propulsion in
00:56:47.999 --> 00:56:50.959
it as well because love the idea of
00:56:50.959 --> 00:56:54.559
using it secretly well here's here's the thing if
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:57.539
you were to anchor it to to let's just say like
00:56:57.539 --> 00:57:00.419
to the camera okay so it's looking back at you and it's
00:57:00.419 --> 00:57:03.199
here if you press it and lock it
00:57:03.199 --> 00:57:09.919
is it tension at that point from now on it just unwinds it's loose and then
00:57:09.919 --> 00:57:13.819
it just reels it up okay so but okay so i want you to hold it between your hands
00:57:13.819 --> 00:57:17.539
just so i can understand this work so if you pull it so that so there's slack
00:57:17.539 --> 00:57:21.059
in between it okay yeah and now hold hold hold the silk.
00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:24.979
Yeah push the button but as in hold it
00:57:24.979 --> 00:57:28.719
hold it tight don't don't let don't let it don't let it yeah and stop yeah
00:57:28.719 --> 00:57:32.459
okay i see so it's like you know
00:57:32.459 --> 00:57:35.159
it's like okay yeah maybe i'm over here and
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:41.319
i'm like yes it's like a psychic shock right okay yeah why you could also do
00:57:41.319 --> 00:57:44.559
is you just have that as an anchor point right now what you can do is you can
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:47.439
anchor that to something a table or whatever else you've got this connection
00:57:47.439 --> 00:57:53.399
to you you could do a bit if you have like a folded,
00:57:53.999 --> 00:57:55.979
A bill would work really nicely as well.
00:57:56.359 --> 00:58:01.879
You could tear the bill in the center and then put it on the thread and then put it on the thread.
00:58:02.818 --> 00:58:06.658
And then what's cool about it is if you walk away from it because it's tensioned,
00:58:06.738 --> 00:58:08.958
it'll stay in place, right?
00:58:09.178 --> 00:58:11.958
And then when you want it to go down... There's no tension.
00:58:13.038 --> 00:58:18.438
Once you press the button... Oh, yeah, okay. There is tension once you press the button.
00:58:18.598 --> 00:58:23.278
Yeah, exactly, right? So now what you could do, if it's anchored here and it's
00:58:23.278 --> 00:58:26.858
tensioned, you can actually just clip the thread going from here through.
00:58:27.018 --> 00:58:31.758
You can clip it with your hands and then gesture it to go down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:58:32.838 --> 00:58:37.978
Anyone who'd studied Masika's type of work on this would, yeah.
00:58:38.858 --> 00:58:44.098
And then this has got to be just a practical, easy, fun, magical thing to do.
00:58:44.278 --> 00:58:48.338
Benjamin says, I've used mine with a paper plane. Looks pretty cool on big stages.
00:58:49.478 --> 00:58:54.178
How goes that? Off stage, your assistant's got the trigger. You make a plane,
00:58:54.518 --> 00:58:56.418
just gently blow on it, flies off.
00:58:57.178 --> 00:59:00.458
I feel like for 50 bucks, this thing is that much fun.
00:59:00.458 --> 00:59:03.318
It's worth considering when you buy this from trick
00:59:03.318 --> 00:59:07.018
supply the batteries will be dead so you got to invest in
00:59:07.018 --> 00:59:10.338
some double a battery triple a batteries this is
00:59:10.338 --> 00:59:13.218
new old stock and it's a little gem
00:59:13.218 --> 00:59:16.938
you know it's not maybe for everyone but if you need to make something jump
00:59:16.938 --> 00:59:21.338
around you can spend a hundred or three hundred and fifty dollars on a thread
00:59:21.338 --> 00:59:26.738
realty forty nine ninety five to goof around maybe if nothing else you just
00:59:26.738 --> 00:59:30.678
have the world's best dollar snatcher and the last thing I mean, if you just...
00:59:32.021 --> 00:59:38.001
Just say mention the podcast when you order please do we want we're really interested
00:59:38.001 --> 00:59:42.961
to know how this moves moves the needle you know when we recommend and then i can hit up for some uh
00:59:43.401 --> 00:59:50.081
for some scratch how about some support for the pod wolf giveaway yeah absolutely
00:59:50.081 --> 00:59:55.321
the last thing we didn't consider and if you just want to add a little bit of
00:59:55.321 --> 01:00:00.401
spooky magic to your work if you're a card guy and you're doing a close-up set on a table,
01:00:01.141 --> 01:00:06.721
chuck the box into a card box and rig it up so that when you're done with your
01:00:06.721 --> 01:00:08.901
card, you can be like, oh, where's the box? Oh, it's over there.
01:00:09.421 --> 01:00:13.161
And then it just comes to you. I guess you switch it around, right?
01:00:13.241 --> 01:00:16.521
You'd have the matchbox in your hand, but you'd have it connected to the,
01:00:16.761 --> 01:00:17.961
you'd have it tied to the box.
01:00:18.161 --> 01:00:20.921
Boom. So the cards could really come out of it to begin with.
01:00:21.201 --> 01:00:25.941
And as you sit it down, you're now undoing the thread reel and so to come back
01:00:25.941 --> 01:00:29.301
you can just trigger it from your your suit jacket pocket or whatever,
01:00:30.221 --> 01:00:33.901
comes back to your hand put the cards back in that's
01:00:33.901 --> 01:00:36.721
a fun bit look i know we're already over but i wanted to talk about
01:00:36.721 --> 01:00:39.961
this it's cool i read it today and maybe someone will find this useful you're
01:00:39.961 --> 01:00:44.401
talking about it now rising cards in the card box so here's the deck of cards
01:00:44.401 --> 01:00:49.301
your card is in here this is an un-gimmick deck going into an empty box and
01:00:49.301 --> 01:00:53.921
one of these cards is your card I'm going to make it rise out of the box Here it comes.
01:00:55.085 --> 01:00:58.205
And there is your card.
01:00:59.145 --> 01:01:06.225
So it's an un-gimmick deck going into an empty box.
01:01:06.805 --> 01:01:13.425
You just give it a few shapes, and one card rises from inside the box.
01:01:13.645 --> 01:01:16.965
That card can be cleanly removed and handed to the spectator.
01:01:17.225 --> 01:01:21.545
And I think that's just a banger rising cards out of the box. Hmm.
01:01:23.045 --> 01:01:26.005
Have you have you tested that
01:01:26.005 --> 01:01:28.845
to see what like an audience how they react
01:01:28.845 --> 01:01:33.325
to it i literally read it earlier today in this book concerto
01:01:33.325 --> 01:01:36.525
for a pasteboard nice and uh let's do a little tutorial
01:01:36.525 --> 01:01:42.125
i don't think wary would mind this is wary he's a old german creator here's
01:01:42.125 --> 01:01:46.185
here's the remnants it's a little piece of double stick paint right there at
01:01:46.185 --> 01:01:52.865
the at the front cutout yes so it's i control the card to second from the face
01:01:52.865 --> 01:01:55.665
so the audience sees this going in.
01:01:56.733 --> 01:02:00.773
And then squeeze, so the tape adheres. And then this action of just shaking
01:02:00.773 --> 01:02:03.633
it makes that card elevate out.
01:02:03.793 --> 01:02:07.633
Sometimes the card's behind it, but then you can just push down and clean.
01:02:08.393 --> 01:02:13.433
I love this little riser. You're self-working, man. Self-working, I love that. Right.
01:02:14.193 --> 01:02:20.513
Yeah, that's a fun, yeah, that's really fun. I mean, that's just as fun as if
01:02:20.513 --> 01:02:23.113
you do that thing where you cut the hole out of the front of it,
01:02:23.213 --> 01:02:24.733
so it's coming out from the back.
01:02:25.173 --> 01:02:28.533
You can do both. you're pushing your finger up and it opens the lid
01:02:28.533 --> 01:02:31.453
and it's just fun and you
01:02:31.453 --> 01:02:34.333
could also probably do like four aces so you could do like
01:02:34.333 --> 01:02:37.193
one two you know if you wanted to make
01:02:37.193 --> 01:02:43.633
it a four of a kind revelation right yeah anyway free lesson today you can also
01:02:43.633 --> 01:02:48.513
get concerto for pasteboards you know who's gonna love this you know who's gonna
01:02:48.513 --> 01:02:52.093

01:02:55.233 --> 01:03:00.993
I'm there now keep my hand still one card will rise up and then just naturally does this anyway.
01:03:02.273 --> 01:03:05.333
