Magic is a collection of tiny lies, in words and deeds, that are stacked and arranged ingeniously to form the battlement for an illusion. It’s a delicate battle of wits—an audience that welcomes being deceived, then dares to be fooled, alternately questioning, prodding, and surrendering.
Jim Steinmeyer, Hiding the Elephant (1958)

For our final Tuesday Tricks we have a montage of some of the craziest ones you can find (at least according to Mojo). Because it is a montage, it doesn’t quite give each trick its due, but you can get a good idea of what’s out there—and maybe it’ll spark your curiosity enough that you can do some exploring on your own!
Saturday Spotlight
Trying something new this Saturday! Rather than writing out the next part of my interview with magician Brett Schneider I’m just posting a clip of him answering a question. ...Mostly because I don’t feel like transcribing at this point (#realtalk). Hope Brett doesn’t hate me for this, since this video isn’t edited or anything. It’s just authentic Brett, raw and unvarnished. But he’s great, so whatever. If you want to see a polished video, check out his magic reel.
Also, if you want to see him perform live as a magician (outside of THE MAGIC PLAY), don’t forget to buy your ticket to OTC’s gala next Saturday night!
Okay, signing off. Ta.
Tuesday Tricks! Today we have “the ambitious card” routine, in which a determined card just keeps rising to the top. It’s lots of fun and requires some master technique to pull off imperceptibly. Watch and enjoy!
Tuesday Tricks! Today we have Penn and Teller performing their rendition of the (in)famous Bullet Catch. I admit this trick freaks me out, but I hope you enjoy!
The Magician and the Politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing.

Tuesday Tricks! Today we have the Great Indian Rope trick. So yes, we’re temporarily leaving the realm of Western tuxedo-attired magicians and going back to “the world’s greatest illusion.” Sort of like snake charming but with a rope. Enjoy the video!
