That truly is amazing!

A mixture of lots of techniques, not just the dodgy old foulard stuff... What makes it particularly magical for me personally is the black-art UV sequence, and how it contrasts perfectly against the starkness of the full-light version... usually, black-art and fully-lit don't mix well (if at all) and this is a perfect example of how heavenly the two can play together.

This is the kind of material that, in my mind, proves that real magicians still exist...those that do Magick vs. mere tricks.

The routine is exceptionally well planned out, choreographed and obviously well rehearsed. I can foresee this young man winning FISM some day soon.

He was at Blackpool (I am pretty sure it was he) a couple of years back. Definitely one of the highlights that year.

Agreed 100% :shock: .

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Agreed - the sheer amount of work and creativity that must have gone into creating this performance is mind-blowing.

It builds so perfectly, from beautiful-yet-simplistic-looking, to beautiful-and-totally-awe-inspiring; mystery, pathos, comedy, drama - they're all in the mix here.

I just wish there was a way I could save this to my hard-drive, for those moments when my magical-muse deserts me :cry:

That was performed in Portugal, I guess.

I saw this guy performing in Rio de Janeiro during the International Magic Festival, he's just awesome.

And what's with the masons' symbol?
