To be honest your comment made me smile. While it is true that magic has many stereotypes (some often negative) maybe that is why we are drawn to it. It is an art that is sometimes greatly neglected just as people feel at times, and it is exciting being part of such a close knit community knowing that you are the next link to its evolution. Hopefully in twenty years the magic won't seem outdated to you. That is one of my goals in changing the art of magic and I hope to see it through. -Oliver
Thank you for this wonderful look into a group that changed my life. I remember waiting in line to audition, I was so nervous. I was fortunate enough to pass and become a member of this society back in the 90's, and this video brought me back to my youth and all the great times i had in the group. they helped pave the way for my career as a magician and introduced me to my lifelong friends. Again, thank you for this video Best Regards, Jimmy H :-)
Never knew about the teenage committee at the Magic Castle. Always wanted to dine there and watch a show. Seen two of your uploads so far and now am going to subscribe. Keep up the good work brother!
I really really love this, i love your channel all round and this really is amazing and taking a different stand point on normal people, not just as numbers but as human with each different characteristics, please please keep doing all these subcultures informing everyone, thank you guys!
subbed. you have some great videos. cant wait to see what you have in store. surprised at the low view count with such great quality pieces on the lesser known parts of americas sub culture. Keep up the good work!
Wonderful little documentary which proves we benefit from following our passion, for it is who we truly are! How ironic their passion is to bend reality!!! :-) PEACE, D R.
Officalmikayla well turns out I didnt make it becaues there was 50 people auditioning and some were auditioning for there 3rd time so yah.But im practicing cardboard camillions for next audition.
@sorta cool white ninjas. good 4 u 4 sticking up for oliver. ......GRT REPLY ! ! ! is there any way we magic fans can get an update on all the talented peeps in this vid ? yes, oliver is unique in his appearance, demeanor and presentation . . . . the unsophistcated spectator labels him or anyone else in this category, as ' weird ' . . ur response was quite correct . . we r ALL weird and thats wut makes life fun ! espclly for us maigicans ! ! ! ! so pls post a reply advising how to follow these folks w/ updates .. . did the young girl magician go onto further involvement in the craft as well ? what abt urself , and eli tann-baum ?
To be honest I didn't catch that, I was never very good at spelling, And im only on at 2 am XD but I digress, I am no illusionist, just on a side note. Tell me what is your passion? I would like to know.
Translation: "Wahhh! Wahhh! Momy he called me a loser! Wahhh! I'm mad bc I know it's true! Wahhh!" LOLZ. ;) You could have ignored me ages ago--but you couldn't pull away--still trapped by the truth! See, when the truth hurts, it makes you come back for more. :) As for me, I got somewhere--I got amusement from you. Thanks! Like my magic trick? I made the geek loser disappear! XD
The word is spelled "fascist," genius. If you spent as much time learning things that are actually useful, instead of wearing a cape & making foam balls disappear, you'd know how to spell at an elementary school level. XD
Uh, lets start with being able to get babes, lol. SCIENCE. Literature, martial arts, and mechanics--useful shit like that. You got me all wrong--I'm glad there's a place for losers to unite and go do their thing; it frees up the rest of the world for winners and normal people. ; )
wow. this guy iiwatcher is some sort of angry putz. he never answers any of the Questions as to what his passion is ? so the answer is ' nothing ' , i guess. currently i am a successful 55 yr old attorney, started doing magic when i was 11. it gave me confidence, grt. verbal skills, public speaking ability and other interpersonal skills. . yes, as an aside, u did meet a few ladies, but that wasnt paramount. u also lernt biz and charged fees for shows and earned some good dough in the process. iiwatcher is just another hater, who mostly hates HIMSELF, so he projects it outward onto these talented young conjurors. indeed, the proof is in the pudding in that, now that it's 2014, probly all of these performers are well along in their life's pursuits, and iiwatcher is still flipping burgers at BK.
You're trying too hard to sell it--I wonder why? Magic (illusions) are all about tricking people. The novelty has worn off on magic acts. If I want art, I go the museum, not the local geekfest. I feel sorry for anyone who gets "inspiration" from magic tricks. Redefine what? Geek losers, so they don't seem like such geek losers? XD
So glad I found this channel this was an amazing show. Keep it up
Awesome video! I went through this program as a teenager too and this movie totally captures the experience.

You know, I always think it strange that losers stand up for losers then claim not to be a part of the loser clan. ; )
Are you in love? The truth hurts so good! ; )
Some people enjoy scat & think it's meaningful. Not everything is relative. Lame is lame.
