Liu Qian - Just Another Magic Monday
Magic is international. In some of my previous JAMM posts I have shown some stage performances from magicians of different locales. Stage performances, especially card manipulation performances, don't usually require a lot of words. More intimate performances, especially table performances, require quite a bit more banter to connect with the audience. However, the following video proves ( if you don't speak chinese at least ) that magic, and the language of "holy crap that's insanely awesome", doesn't require much more than body language to convey its message. Watch and be amazed...watch more and be amazed more..keep watching its worth seeing all of it :) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwVy_2eOfsE&w=500&h=300] [ad#Ellusionist]
Just Another Magic Monday - Ekaterina Dobrokhotova
I found Ekaterina( Kate ) from some advertisement videos for the Ellusionist Arcane decks. The end of her video had her website which brought me the video I am showing here. By far my favorite type of magic to watch is sleight of hand. Usually, this causes me to show a ton of card manipulation routines. Kate definitely has some extreme examples of card manipulation but this routine is an awesome display. She does a great job of misdirecting and making you think you've caught her when really she is doing something else.

For an added bonus here is a video of her working the Montreal Jazz Fest in 2009.
