Magic Monday: An Ha

Two Things about me

Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while knows two things about me. One, I am a francophile. Two, my favorite type of magic is sleight of hand and when it comes to the stage that shows up in card manipulation routines quite often.

Taking care of the francophile who likes magic

France 2 has a show called Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde that I've most likely shown at least once before in a JAMM post.

This JAMM post takes us to Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde with an awesome display of card manipulation by An Ha. The routine starts off pretty standard for card manipulation routines but then moves on. He adds color and rhythm in such a jaw dropping way. By the end he gets a well deserved standing ovation. Many fellow magicians look on with childish grins on their faces.

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?

Just Another Magic Monday: Peter Marvey

Having an interest in the French language as I do, I love the magic term legerdemain. It means light of hand. Legerdemain makes magic so much more real to me. That's why most of the magic I've showcased on my magic Monday posts has been sleight of hand artists. This Monday's post really is no different. In fact, he is a manipulation champion. ...

The finale of this routine just astounds me. I can understand why he was a world champion of manipulation.
