In this podcast, we go over our top 5 favorite book tests and describe our experiences performing our completely original method for a book test on the streets in Manchester!
In our podcast we talked about:
What it takes to perform street magic day in day out?
What actually happened with the ‘back to black’ controversy?
What are your favorite projects you’ve released at your time at Ellusionist?
Where do you see the magic industry going in the next 5 years?
Who are the creators you’re most excited about right now?
What makes truly great magic that sells?
Much more!
We asked the collective genius of our list for potential methods to achieve the following trick:
You can have any card freely chosen, lost in the deck, and then…
Drop the deck and let gravity cut to their card.
Don’t even touch the deck, simply place it on the table and blow to their card.
Pretend you’re Tiger Woods and with one clean stroke putt to their card.
With a run up that makes you look like Ronaldo cleanly kick to their card.
Place the deck in front of your spectator and after a simple instruction they flick to their card.
In a completely impossibility the spectator picks up as many cards as they like and it’s revealed they’ve cut to their card.
(oh and it needs to be done impromptu with a borrowed deck and without using any crimps, bends, or breathers!)
We asked you all for answers and here's us reacting to them!
In this podcast we discuss...
Our favorite plots and our audience’s favorite plots—are they the same?
