Just Another Magic Monday: RJ Cantu
I don't know what I did right but lately random magicians have been adding me as friends on facebook. From these new friends I hear about different magical happenings in the world. Recently, one of these magicians performed at the world famous Magic Castle. Luckily for us he posted a large portion of his performance on YouTube. Enjoy, this could have easily been posted as a Friday Humor post. ...
Update:He posted the last part of his performance at the Magic Castle today. I believe this is more than Just another magic Monday.
Friday Humor with Flydini
This past Monday was my birthday. One of the items I recieved was a book that was tough to put down, Steve Martin's Born Standing Up. This book made me think of posting the following video for this Friday Humor post. It is one of the great bits of Steve Martin's that makes him my favorite comedian. So without further ado, I present The Great Flydini... ...
Just Another Magic Monday: cups and balls
It's been a while since I've posted anything so I figured my Birthday is on a Monday why not start back with a JAMM post. I have a friend in the office whose dad is a Magician and he has said several times that the cups and balls is his favorite routine. Last week I had the pleasure of seeing a great cups and balls routine by Michael Ammar at a seminar hosted by my magic club. So, without further ado, here are three different version of the cups and balls starring Jason Latimer, Michael Ammar and Penn & Teller. ...
Friday Humor with Magic?
I usually reserve magic for my Just Another Magic Monday( JAMM ) posts, but this one couldn't wait. It was funny enough to be posted in a Friday humor post. Take a look for yourself and see if you can deduce how the "magic" is done. ...
Okay, so maybe there isn't so much actual magic as humor about many popular magicians.
Friday Humor with Flight of the Conchords
My Friday humor posts have featured Flight of the Conchords many times. The second season has taken a little getting used to, as the humor is slightly different. The songs are written to the story instead of the other way around ( as was the case with the first season ). Episode 5 really clicked with me and so I started looking back at some of the songs from the season. There have been some good ones. This post features a new rap song called "Hurt Feelings". ...
I messed up and forgot to set the date ahead for this post. So some of you get my Friday humor, one day early.
Just Another Magic Monday: Angela Funovits
As an professional wrestler, musician and now magician I've noticed that men are usually at the forefront of the field. Women are there, but they are often times just eye candy or in the case of magic eye candy misdirection. That's why when a female performer makes a name for herself at the top of the field it's usually quite amazing. Enter Angela Funovits. She is a woman who, according to her bio, always wanted to be a magician's assistant so she worked hard to be the best she could be. One day she realized that her abilities were beyond magician's assistant and she should be the magician. To top it all off, she also knows how to use her feminine wyle's for a little eye candy misdirection. ...
Angela seems to be a true artist beyond magic. She is a photographer, a cook and it seems she designs clothes and apparel. What's next for Ms. Funovits? Medical degree?
Friday Humor with NPH
Neil Patrick Harris is an actor I've grown up with. I watched him on Doogie Howser, MD and recently featured him in another Friday Humor post as Dr. Horrible. The thing I like about NPH is that he made his way past Doogie Howser, MD and is doing other things with his acting. And yet, he keeps going back to that Doogie Howser well for a little bit of humor. ...
Just Another Magic Monday: Close-up Magic
It's been a while since I've shared anything, let alone magic, so here is my first JAMM post of 2009. The following is a BBC special on close up magic. Lots of great magicians are interviewed and many great pieces of magic are performed. Well worth the time to watch it. ...
Friday Humor with Geddy Lee
One of my favorite bands is Rush. As a bassist I think Geddy Lee is awesome. So today, in honor of the coldest day I have ever felt in Wilmington ( my Dad who lives in Montana would still laugh at my feeble chilly weather ) I thought I would pass on a little of Geddy Lee's advice for sledding. Read on to see the video. ...
