The Big Blind Friday Ep.5

A review, community projects and reacting to magic

Hey Owen,

And welcome to the 5th episode of Big Blind Friday. If this is the first time you have heard about this make sure to check back on our earlier episodes, when we talked about limitations and creativity, gave away an e-book as a gift, discussed surviving in the 1940s and many other magic related things (click on each color to go to each email).

This week we start off our first community project and tell you four other things we felt were worth sharing.

🎭 1. Music for Magicians

We recently stumbled upon a music album created especially for magicians, illusionists and jugglers! What a treat.

The album was professionally composed and produced by magician Tristan Magic, who wanted to make music that other performers could use in their shows.

You can give the first 4 tracks a listen here.

📚 2. The Best Definition of Sleight of Hand Magic?

I recently read "Amoralman" by Derek DelGaudio and found within it's pages what I consider to be the best definition of sleight of hand.

You can discover it here.

3. Quote of the week ✍️

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

— From Coraline by Neil Gaiman

🎬 4. Reply to this email with...

Here at Big Blind Media we would like to build more projects together with our community. So, let's do it! We ask you questions, you share your answer with us and then at the end of the year we make a book with everyone's contribution!

This week, tell us what was the first trick that you ever learned, how did you stumble upon it, who did you perform it to for the first time and... do you still know how to do it?

📹 5. ThermoDynamic Cards

Playing cards that change their back if you leave them to cool off for a second.

We've been much more active on Instagram posting free tutorials, performances and new ideas, so make sure you subscribe to stay up to date with it all.

See the cards here

That was it for this week. Every week is different so make sure to tune in for the next episode of Big Blind Friday next week and don't forget to reply to this week's community question!

xoxo
