While browsing around the other evening I came across several old -- classic? -- videos. These are videos of the original artists and not some 12-year YouTube junkie. There are more, but these four really appealed to me. Especially the John Scarne video. Apparently this video has disappeared from the internet, but was discovered by magician Rick Caruth who posted it on his blog.

Hope you enjoyed one or two of these.

The Orson Welles and Angie Dickinson card effect - Derren Brown SOOOOOO stole that in that show where he performed for that European princess or countess or whatever she was. Where he sprung the cards into the harbour...

you must do a search for richard Himber. He does this thing with a bucket, and a jug of milk that absolutly fooled the hell out of me.
Im still not 100% sure about the method.
the look on the helpers face is amazing..
