Does anybody know who the magician in a segment from this show (that isnt up here) who made a woman reappear and then thew a cloth over a template of a painting and quickly removed it to reveal a full painting? It was set to oepratic music. The talking heads on the show never discussed it. I didn't catch the name of the magician
Seeing the footage of these awe inspiring masters is amazing. When I was growing up as a young magician, I could only see some of this footage by kowing people that had access to it. Most could only see photos in books. In that regard, the internet and youtube are brilliant.
Karrell Fox taught me the Match Bit at 3:29. It is in either Clever Like A Fox or Another Book. I recommend magicians look it up. It has served me well in impromptu setting for 25 years.
These performers paved the way for the rest of us! It's because these men, (as well as my grandfather), that I became a magician. Thanks for posting this! It's been such a joy to watch!
Thank you so much for sharing. Blackstone Sr. was the first magician I ever saw. As a child, I was spellbound by his full length show. When he made a birdcage containing a bird disappear while children had their hands on it, I was totally stunned! Even now, knowing the secrets, I remember his presentation as wonderful. As for Pollack, I have tried that card manipulation and stand in awe of his dexterity.
Not if you shuffle the card to the front when you show the back. Doing that makes the effect sort of a sucker routine where it makes the spectator believe and then question his reasoning. With that said, I ask, do you perform? I don;t think you perform this because laymen do not know, they guess. The shuffle makes then think twice about guessing your technique
@killazerg1 You so funny! ok, you want proof, send me a camcorder than I'll post it on YT. With that said, I ask, do you know ";" does not replace an apostrophe? I don't think so. I guess you are so old school because nowadays I bet 90% of people from developed nations know when you do manipulations, the cards pretty much go behind the hands, that has become a standard in this society. Once again, it's the skill that sets magicians from laymen.
You aren't a performer. You may do tricks for your friends or family, but you don't understand the psychology behind magic. Everybody knows that magic isn't real - a manipulation is taking place, but laymen guess what the manipulation is. People aren't stupid so they can make possibilities in their head. Your job is to take away those possibilities with sleights and sucker moves. Look at 6:06 to see how Channing does it

I agree, that was a little TOO slow... I like Tommy Wonder's pace/speed better. YOU CAN'T CATCH WONDER DOING ANYTHING, EVER EVER!

@killazerg1 "who"="layman". Almost everyone knows the card goes behind the hand, it's the difficulty that impresses them.
