  • I hope you enjoy this video. It was a lot of fun.
    The material is classic card magic from my mentors like Darwin Ortiz, Roy Walton, Steve Ehlers.
    This was filmed at The Half Moon.
    Special thanks to my friend Jin Lee for his support.

    That performance was wonderful ! I had the best seat in the house sitting on Michael's right shoulder. Have had the privilege of watching and chatting with Michael on several occasions, he is the perfect gent.

    There is so much to parse here, it's hard to know where to begin. The magic is impeccable, and that goes without saying. Watch the body language of the two participants at the table. Ever the gentleman, Michael puts her at ease first. In making sure she's comfortable, he establishes his character, and all the guests feel comfortable, secure in the knowledge they will not be made to feel foolish in the presence of their peers. The way Michael gets the participants to agree to the situation, as described, is brilliant. I could go on & on, but if you're watching this, I'm likely "preaching to the choir."

      It's true. All too often then magician calls upon spectators to "assist" and proceed to ignore them once a card is selected, or worse, subject them to challenges and abusive jokes. Neither your helpers, nor your audience remember this as a magical experience. Was it Nate Leipzig who said "People like being fooled by a gentleman?" Another concept to consider is "Magic is not tricks; it is a way." - Tenkai Ishida.

      DV Harris thanks DV and Jinnmago. You have both picked up on elements I absolutely think hard about in my show. It is critical for me to make my audience feel safe. They must feel safe and connected to me at the base human level. Rapport is the heartbeat of my show. Rapport=trust, trust=safety, safety=surrender, only then can my experience of magic penetrate their minds and hearts. Thank for your keen insights.👍🏽

    This is genuinely one of the most magical entertaining most complete magic routine I've ever had the pleasure of watching.we also have the added pleasure of seeing it be done flawlessly and with a good presentation.I especially loved Michael's face expressions with two deck cards reversed part.Thanks Mr Vincent.

    I truly do not understand how this is even possible! This is quite amazing! If I were at the table with him, I would be falling out of my chair!

  • @calpoker21
    @calpoker21 Před rokem +2

    I've been studying card magic quite a bit and even when I watch top magicians I often have an idea of how they're creating an effect but watching you I am just totally baffled it's enough to believe the magic is real. just outstanding.

  • @themaggot8

  • @garethb3775
    @garethb3775 Před 5 lety +2

    Michael one word always comes to mind watching you perform. Impeccable. You’ve taken my favourite effect and made it new and more enjoyable than I thought it could. If we could time travel you would be one of literally 2 or 3 magicians in the world today who would not be out of place in that NY card room in 1951

  • @spinhalflight8153
    @spinhalflight8153 Před 3 lety

    So utterly brilliant! I get a sense of calm, as if all is right with the world, when watching Michael Vincent's magic. Not only is it stunning, but he is so disarming, so charming, inviting, and sincere that his performance would be magical even if all he did was shuffle the cards!

  • @davidcupps991
    @davidcupps991 Před 7 měsíci

    This is terrific. I liked the expression on their faces. The man on the left was puzzled when you said the card was between 2 jokers with one on top and one on the bottom. He wasn't sure if you were serious at first. Powerful conclusion.

  • @EugenSorin
    @EugenSorin Před 3 lety

  • @tonk82
    @tonk82 Před 3 lety

    There's magicians that create new tricks that are great, but use a lot of complex gimmicks. Michael, as always, is pure class and perfection, handling cards. You could know how the tricks work... and you would be unable to do them. Decades perfecting his craft, truly an artist performing high art.

    That finale might be the greatest piece of card magic I've ever seen. The combination of storytelling, paying tribute to great teachers and legends of the craft, incorporating a classic effect such as "Triumph," the pacing and building toward the close - everything was just brilliant. The reaction of the gentleman to Michael's right at 24:20 says it all.

    Hello teacher, it is always very comforting for me to see it in action, especially when we have some common routines or something similar. You wanted to know if the routine of the three cards guessed after the cut is yours or is it your version of another routine? It's great, I have something similar with the MNCA of Tamariz but I think yours is more practical and direct, it goes to the point. Thank you thousands of times and many congratulations
