Steven Blair`s blog of magic & life

Hey people of the interwebs Steven back again with yet another blog post. In todays post I will be entertaning you with some magic performed live for a group of  fellow magicians.
 
If you read my last post you will know that I entered the Scottish Association of Magical Societies Close-up comeptition a few weeks ago. Lucky enough a friend of mine had recorded the act as it happened.
For the magicians who want to know what the tricks I performed were (in order):

1. A Charming Chinese Challenge by Troy Hooser this effect can be found in his book DesTROYers or on a DVD that Bob Kohler put out that includes contributions from Shoot Ogawa, Apollo and Thomas Wayne.
2. The first coin vanish is based on something I saw Jay Sankey do but it is as old as the hills.
3. Seconds vanish where it reappers on the table is something I came up with but I am sure its been done before.
4. The jumbo coin load I learnt from Eric Jones metal DVD and David Roths Expert Coin Magic Made Easy DVD.
5. Deminishing not likely by Paul Gordon. This trick is in a number of his books but most recently was printed in the best of british book published by Magicseen Publications (great book).
6. Card to wallet honestly I have no idea what wallet it is I picked it up from a second hand dealer at a convention.
