    One of the most underrated magicians out there, not only an expert in sleight of hand but also aware of principles for how both the psychology and principles affect performances for laypeople. In this case, he talks of the precondition of laypeople and how it should be challenged.

    underrated and brilliant and one of the best personalities while doing good sleight of hand that I've seen in a long time

    The idea was that magic are not supposed to be only for children and that, through magi, we can be childlike again: wondered, impressed, transported, happy, and, for the time being, believing that magic magically exists!

    One of the few thought provoking magicians I've seen while managing to be technically sound and entertaining.

    This guy is really good. Although some of his moves, especially the coin tricks, are relatively easy to see. Of course, the tricks themselves are not the focus of this presentation anyway.

      Coin magic is hard as fuck to pull off clean in front of cameras. Definitely harder than the false shuffles or the cups and balls.

    well he aint the greatest magician Ive seen (well at least this performance was not great anyway) but I am also not a late person. I have trained my eyes to catch lots of the moves going on so I do not know how fair it is for me to say that he is not the greatest. But he is genuinely thought provocative and he is taking magic into a really new place. You see that mosts magicians are split into 2 groups. one group that tries to make people dumber by pretending that they have super powers and one that makes people smarter or leave them the same by explaining that are actually tricks. He falls definitely under the second group but his ideology varies a bit. And as a person who loves magic I can say that Im really happy that there are people like him who take the art form in a really nice place !

    Your coin handling was a lot worse than your ball handling. You are quite a fine ball handler.
