The Big Blind Friday Ep. 31

Your weekly dose of magic from around the world from BBM

Hey Owen,

And welcome to Big Blind Friday, your day of the week when we help you discover magical gems from all over the world. This week we focus on comedy magic and discovering some magicians you might now know about!

But, before we show you that, did you join our Top Secret Academy of Magic?

🤫 1. Did you join our Top Secret Magic Academy ?

Last week we sent out an invitation form to only our newsletter subscribers inviting anyone who wants to join our Top Secret Academy of Magic.

This is a new project we just launched where we send you a free trick or sleight every two weeks!

🎙️ 2. When Magic Tricks Take Too Long

We've all been there at some point during our history with magic, where we're really excited about a long trick, while the spectator feels like you're wasting their time.

Here's a comedian's approach to this situation

🎮 3. 100 Year Old Magic Tricks (with Explanations)

Chris Ramsay crafted a beautiful video showcasing some tools that magicians used 100 years ago in order to perform magic.

He also explains how these tools work which makes for a great video for magicians.

(This one breaks away from today's comedy magic theme, but I also wanted to include something like this as well).

🃏 4. Carl-Einar Häckner

If you like The Amazing Jonathan, then you're going to like this magician.

I haven't seen anyone replicate The Amazing Jonathan's style of magic before, and I must say this Swedish magician does it in a very pleasant way.

✨5. This magician's comedy is quite unique

Recently discovered Israeli magician Lioz Shem and I am so happy I did.

I went through a few of his videos and must say that this one performance he did on Australia's Got Talent must be (from my opinion) his best.

If you enjoy comedy magic, give this a look.
