Florian Zimmer, video, entertainment, magic

I may focus on my French heritage too much, and this JAMM post continues this tradition by showing a video from France 2. However, this post is now sharing the love of my wife and her German heritage.
Florian Zimmer is an amazing magical artist from Germany. He definately has his own style.

Magic Castle, humor, video, entertainment
...

I don't know what I did right but lately random magicians have been adding me as friends on facebook. From these new friends I hear about different magical happenings in the world. Recently, one of these magicians performed at the world famous Magic Castle. Luckily for us he posted a large portion of his performance on YouTube. Enjoy, this could have easily been posted as a Friday Humor post.

This past Monday was my birthday. One of the items I recieved was a book that was tough to put down, Steve Martin's
Born Standing Up. This book made me think of posting the following video for this Friday Humor post. It is one of the great bits of Steve Martin's that makes him my favorite comedian. So without further ado, I present The Great Flydini...

It's been a while since I've posted anything so I figured my Birthday is on a Monday why not start back with a
JAMM post. I have a friend in the office whose dad is
a Magician and he has said several times that the cups and balls is his favorite routine. Last week I had the pleasure of seeing a great cups and balls routine by Michael Ammar at a seminar hosted by
my magic club. So, without further ado, here are three different version of the cups and balls starring Jason Latimer, Michael Ammar and Penn & Teller.

video, humor, magic
I usually reserve magic for my Just Another Magic Monday( JAMM ) posts, but this one couldn't wait. It was funny enough to be posted in a Friday humor post. Take a look for yourself and see if you can deduce how the "magic" is done.

video, sleight of hand, angela funovits, magic

As an professional wrestler, musician and now magician I've noticed that men are usually at the forefront of the field. Women are there, but they are often times just eye candy or in the case of magic eye candy misdirection. That's why when a female performer makes a name for herself at the top of the field it's usually quite amazing. Enter
Angela Funovits. She is a woman who, according to her bio, always wanted to be a magician's assistant so she worked hard to be the best she could be. One day she realized that her abilities were beyond magician's assistant and she should be the magician. To top it all off, she also knows how to use her feminine wyle's for a little eye candy misdirection.

It's been a while since I've shared anything, let alone magic, so here is my first JAMM post of 2009. The following is a BBC special on close up magic. Lots of great magicians are interviewed and many great pieces of magic are performed. Well worth the time to watch it.

In order to not bore you with more card manipulation magic I found yet another card manipulation routine that will knock your socks off. I can't get enough of this stuff. This guy makes does an amazing routine that includes a ton ( possibly literally ) of Extra - Jumbo cards. Truly amazing.

video, legerdemain, manipulation, sleight of hand
...

Having an interest in the French language as I do, I love the magic term legerdemain. It means light of hand. Legerdemain makes magic so much more real to me. That's why most of the magic I've showcased on my magic Monday posts has been
sleight of hand artists. This Monday's post really is no different. In fact, he is a manipulation champion.

magic, jason latimer, lasers

At this point in my life
LASERs are a little passé. As a kid they were so cool but now you can hold them in your hand, attach them to your keychain, annoy people in movie theaters and of course many forms of physical media still use them for playback. Leave it to magic to bring back the awe inspiring vision of
LASERs.

video, entertainment, jeff mcbride, magic

Many weeks ago, I had the bright idea of checking youTube for some magic performances. One of the first I found worth mentioning was
Lance Burton from The Best of Magic. A few weeks after that I had the bright idea of seeing what else was under the Best of Magic. First off, I stayed up for a long time watching these when I probably should have been sleeping. They were just so amazing and diverse. There was your standard stage magic by
The Pendragons, humorous magic with
Kohl & Co., a peaceful and impressive table routine by
Hiroshi Sawa, and a great psuedo mime routine by
Tina Lenert. There was also many more with some of the greats in magic, after all the show was The Best of Magic! One piece floored me though. The piece of Jeff McBride doing one of his mask routines. Amazing work with great mime and I was hooked, so I thought I'd share some with you.

politics, penn & teller, penn jillette, voting
...

Maybe I'm in a magic mood lately. It seems I keep posting videos of magicians. Well magicians or political videos. So today I thought I would post a political rant by one of the bad boys of magic, Penn Jillette. As is usual with Penn, it is a rant but behind his abrasiveness he does make some very good points. His main point? You can't go into the voting booth and vote against someone. You can only vote for someone.

Last week I posted a video of Lance Burton. That was some great stage magic and he has many more available for viewing online. Today though I thought I would show another magic performance from
Pop Haydn. This is a long video but extremely entertaining and humorous.
