The Big Blind Friday Ep. 19

Hidden gems from all across the universe

Hey Owen,


We're preparing LIKE CRAZY for Blackpool next week. We got the Exclusive Blackpool Bundle ready, surprises have been put in place and everyone's ready to rock it! We hope you're going to be there.

This week I dived deep and found some new gems for you to watch, read and discover. It's your favorite weekly newsletter, so let's get it going!

📚 1. On Instagram


We've been quite active on instagram lately! Here's some of the videos you might have missed:

Follow us on Instagram if you want to see zany performances from Biz, interviews and, overall, more BBM content.

🎙️ 2. Tenyo x Nintendo Game


Do you know the Japanese magic company Tenyo? They put out a few tricks each year in limited quantity and a lot of them end up being collectibles.


Well, back in 2006, they also collaborated with Nintendo and put out a magic game that revolves around doing magic tricks.


You can read more about it here.

Watch a mind reading trick from the game.

Or see a commercial for the game here.

🎮 3. Pen Jillette Answers Magic Questions


Pen Jillette answers questions from people on Twitter and his insight is (as you expect) wonderful. Some of the questions are:


  • How do magicians eat glass without injuring themselves?
  • What to do when a trick doesn't work?
  • What do you say when a sick kid asks you if magic is real?


Pen also reveals what happened at Spielberg's bachelour party while they were doing a seance.

🃏 4. Asi Wind's One Man Show Using Just A Deck


Every now and then, this fails,” said Asi Wind, pausing for a suspense-maximizing moment during his new one-man magic show, “Asi Wind’s Inner Circle.” “This could fail. If it does, remember all the fun we had before.”


David Segal dives deep into Asi Wind's new one-man-show which is blowing up right now.

✨ 5. Quote I am pondering


“Treat a work of art like a prince: let it speak to you first.”​

— Arthur Schopenhauer

Hope you guys enjoyed this week's gems and hopefully we will see you next week at the Blackpool Magic Convention. If you do, drop by the BBM booth and we'll show you some good stuff!

The 16.43 From Upminster - Collected Advent 2022 by Liam Montier

Kaymar Magic does a digital 'advent calendar' each year, where subscribers get a brand new trick emailed to them from the 1st to the 24th of December. This year, on Christmas Day, all the tricks were then collected together and lavishly photo-illustrated into this 80+ page eBook, to give the tricks a proper publication and home. Published in memory of Jeremy Singer - a wonderful friend, magician and raconteur.
