The Big Blind Friday Ep. 24

Your weekly dose of magic from around the world from BBM

Hey Owen,


We, at Bigblindmedia, aim not only to teach you cool card tricks, but also to show you cool magic-related stuff from around the world! And, every Friday, we do just that!


Videos, comic-books and more - lets get it started!

📚 1. Maurice Fogel


I recently stumbled upon a video of magician Maurice Fogel.


Fogel is a famous mentalist known for some of his over-the-top illusions (such as making nude ghosts appear on stage, or having a firing squad shoot at him on live TV).


What I loved about this video was just how happy he looked performing.


British Pathe Video of Fogel

Firing Squad Russian Roulette

🎙️ 2. Julius Dean shows Messi a card trick


If you had the opportunity to show football legend Messi a card trick, what would you show him? I'd show him "Wormhole" by Ali Nouira. What's better than a signed card to pocket?


Well, Julius Dean showed him a card trick and I might say his trick choice is rather... questionable.

🎮 3. 10 Levels of Deception


A beautiful video by magician Daniel Roy where he shows you 10 ways in which you can be deceived.


The video is uncut and featured a commentary from him, which makes it more amazing and insightful.

🃏 4. Harry Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle


A beautiful story told in comic book form of the rivalry between Doyle and Houdini.


If you have 5 minutes to spare, here is a FREE comic book which tells the story of how Houdini and Doyle became fast friends and then big rivals.

✨ 5. Quote of the Week


" An old trick well done is far better than a new trick with no effect."

- Harry Houdini

Hope you guys enjoyed this week's goodies. We've got some more goodies prepared for you in the following weeks, so stay tuned!

In case you missed it

Perfect Shuffle by Biz - Exclusive Download - gb

This utility move is a full deck, multiphase, super convincing FALSE SHUFFLE. Despite a massive amount of mixing and cutting, not a single card moves. It's easy to do. It's modular (do a quick mix or a super involved 'messing up' of the cards). You can do it in the hands or on the table. You can even use it to displace one or more cards from the top to the bottom!
