The Big Blind Friday Ep. 34

Your weekly dose of magic from around the world from BBM

Hey Owen,

This week we sit down with Ryan Schlutz, the mind behind DvDs such as "Miracles Without Moves" or " Effortless Effects" and the creator of the renown False Anchor Playing Cards, to discuss about creating magic, getting over your fears and the "false anchor" concept.

Ryan also teaches you a card trick (go to minute 28:16 if you just want to learn that) and later also takes us on a journey to show us how he creates and evolves a card trick from scratch (go to minute 50:00 to see that).

CREATING MAGIC EP. 5 : Ryan Schlutz

🎙️ 1. Man Performs Magic During War to Survive

'I was blown up, I was shot, I survived a massacre, I was buried alive twice and I was up in front of a firing squad twice. Apart from that it was all right'

The amazing story of Fergus Anckorn who was captured in Singapore by Japanese troops and managed to survive countless encounters with death.

This is a great read, especially when you learn how he performed magic in order to acquire more food rations.

✨4. Secrets of Magic REVEALED

When I found this article in the New Yorker I was quite dumbfoundead. "How could they reveal these secrets to a larger audience?!" I told myself.

But, then I started reading the methods and each one made me chuckle more than the previous.

"Holy Hell! I have NO idea how that works! "

Cameron Francis

"I have to say up front that this promotional video fooled me and I was not disappointed when I learned the secret. Very often you are fooled by a promotional video and when you learn the ‘how to’ you feel duped. Not the case here." Straight Talk Magic Reviews

"The good things about this are that it looks great, a real fooler, it fits easily into a shirt pocket, you can use your volunteer's coin (signed even), and it's really easy to do. (A little practice never hurt anyone though.) I plan on just shaking the box to show the coin is in it and then handing my volunteer the box so he can remove the coin himself. You end clean. No gimmicks and it can be completely examined!" The Magic Portal
