The Big Blind Friday Ep. 21

Your weekly dose of magic from around the world from BBM

Hey Owen,


It's Friday, which means you're getting your weekly dose of magic news and findings from all over the world.


We don't all have time to dig the web for magic stuff, as such, Biz has taken it upon himself to share with you things he's found that he believes you will enjoy.


Without further, let's get this episode started!

📚 1. Teller Board Game


Yes, you read that right.


Teller, of Pen and Teller, recently collaborated with the game company Exploding Kittens to create You Lying Sack, a game that celebrates lying.


If you're into board games, this might be up your alley.


See the trailer.

Read about it.

🎙️ 2. Juan Tamariz Documentary


While digging through the internet, I stumbled upon a tweet from magician and director Paul Wilson talking about his future documentary of Juan Tamariz which, apparently, has been in the works for the past 3 years.


Read the tweet

🎮 3. Blackpool Video Teaser


Here's a small snippet from the upcoming BBM Blackpool Video which will be posted soon on Youtube.


We wanted to do something different with this video, as such, we have interviewed a lot of dealers and creators to bring you wisdom from them.


It's going to be a fun video. Can't wait to show it to you :)

🃏 4. Take Two : Dai Vernon


"Vernon knew—often better than his followers—that to strive for perfection was the requisite approach, but that at the same time, one must never be deluded into believing that one had achieved it."


If you've never read David Ben's biography of Vernon, this article is a perfect insight into Vernon's career as a magician and philosophies.

✨ 5. Ken Carbone’s Wonderlust


It's always nice to see how people from outside of the playing card community see playing cards and how they've evolved.


This article from designer and teacher Ken Carbone is both insightful and filled with joy.

In case you missed it

Homicide by Jack Tighe - Video Download - gb

A BBM EXCLUSIVE VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Jack Tighe's Homicide is a brilliant and fun routine that'll leave your spectator's gobsmacked. Jack Tighe may be known for having deity level skills in the card handling department, BUT he's also not above crafting a routine which is so easy it's almost ridiculous. 'Homicide' is one such super easy gem. It's a fabulous two phase mentalism piece that utterly fooled me the first time I saw it. It has some inbuild comedy (watch the performance and you'll see what I mean) and if you don't know the method - YOU. WILL. BE. FOOLED TOO!
