One of my favorite things about magic and being a fan is the love and respect that generations of magicians have for the others who influenced them and watching them pay tribute in their performances and acts. Whether I'm at a show or just watching stuff on youtube I'm constantly amazed by the skill/dedication it takes to the craft. This was terrific Dan thanks for sharing!
I agree. I stand on the shoulders of giants. I'm glad you liked the performance. Be sure to seek out Dean's work. He was just great (as a magician and as a human.)
Dean would be proud - excellent performance and tribute!
Thanks Michael! He was just the best.
What a GORGEOUS Tribute to a WONDERFUl man.
That's very kind of you. I miss that gem of a man.
What an incredible way to honor and pay respect to one of your dear friends. Both of you are incredible. Thank you for sharing this with everyone who was not fortunate enough to share that room with you two that night 🙏
Thanks Sean. You're very welcome. I'm glad that I got to know Dean and am happy that I can spread his work and energy.
Great job! My dad would have been proud
Gosh, thanks Jamie. That means a lot to me. I hope you're doing well.
A beautiful tribute and brilliant performance...a trill to be there...thanks Dan
Mark Wicken It was great having you in the room Mark!
Dean was one of the most influential people on in my teenage years. Even though I hadn't met him, I corresponded with him through email regarding original tricks of mine. I had met him at a convention and purchased Extreme Dean. From there I corresponded with him even more, showing him my performances of his effects, and he would give me advice. I dropped out of magic for a while, but when I found out he had passed it was pretty upsetting. He was a great guy and your performance here is a great tribute.
+Ben Morris-Rains Thanks for this Ben. Yes, Dean was such a great guy. So helpful and supportive. I miss him a lot. No one has ever fooled me as badly and as often.
What a warm, sincere tribute. I like this idea - honoring a master in a set. I absolutely LOVE "Choice, Chance, and Fate." It's a killer effect with a powerful theme. Well done, Dan.
The Magic of Andrew Bennett Thanks Andrew. Dean had a huge impact on me. This was the least I could do to repay him. I only wish he could have seen it.
The coins and glass routine is absolutely brilliant. Thank you :)
Lee Shaughnessy That's very kind of you Lee. Thanks!
Dan, I have tracked down and am going to download Dean Dill's version, through Vanishing Magic Inc. It's an excerpt from Extreme Dean ( as I'm sure you know!). Is your version available to purchase also? I am based in the UK. With best regards, Lee
Let's take this off the public thread...
Send me a pm.
Dan Trommater sorry, yes of course. Pardon my ignorance, but can I private message you on CZcams?
AMAZING, thank you sir :)
That is a great act! Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks very much! I'm glad you liked it.
Im sure he watches from above what a great tribute to him
Shockingly amazing
Just how you are inspired by some of the greats, I am inspired by you.
+Msp That's a lovely thing to say. Thank you Msp.
That is a great act, a great performer, and a great tribute. Thanks for posting this.
That's very kind of you. Thanks. Be sure to check out Dean's work here on CZcams.
Greetings from Victoria BC,
Mr Dan, loved your Act!
Beautiful scripting, pace was perfect, well done sir, bravo!
Many thanks Derek! Be sure to check out videos of Dean in action. He was great.
Simply wonderful with captivating presentation
That's lovely of you to say. Thanks!
Dan-you are an encouragement,and an amazing performer ! Thank you for the sense of wonder and for challenging us to rethink our assumptions and to see thinks a little differently. I would love to see you perform or speak live someday,maybe at one point you'll get to Portland.Oregon...or maybe I'll be lucky enough to visit Toronto or the magic castle.anyway,thanks again and keep up the amazing work !
+Patrick Lucas Thanks so much for the kind words. It means a lot.
So great, Dan. Saw you do this act in person and thought it was an awesome and fitting tribute to one of the greatest magicians who ever lived. Cheers from the underground!
Many thanks man. It was an honor to know and learn from Dean. I'm glad you had the chance to do the same.
Wonderful routines Sir. As a tribute and showing how you were influence by Mr. Dill, it was respectful and elegant. Magic should always have wonder and mystery and you Sir have given us all of that. I never got to see Dean Dill live but I've seen him many time on television. Thank you for showing how someone can influence (influence does not mean copy) you and the end result is beautiful magic.
Thank you very much for the kind words. It means a lot to know that Dean's influence continues to touch people.
I'm just getting started in magic, and I'm so glad there's so much good stuff online, especially CZcams. Thanks so much for posting this, I'm getting a real education from watching all these legendary performers. This one's a truly magical 18 minutes and 53 seconds!
Pazuzu, I'm glad you liked the show. Thanks for your kind words. Be sure to seek out more of Dean's work. And since you're just getting started, I'll suggest some of my other favourites (in no particular order) :
Pop Haydn
Jonathan Levit
Shawn McMaster
Andrew Goldenhersh
David Minkin
Bill Goodwin
Rob Zabrecky
Doc Eason
Jerry Andrus
Jay Marshall
Thanks Dan -- looking up clips right now! I'm familiar with Jerry Andrus through Shawn Farquhar, and the rest I'm really looking forward to getting familiar with.
[Later]: Man, Jonathan Levit's C4 is amazing! I've vowed not to buy high-end tricks till I've mastered the basic sleights and other skills in Bobo and Erdnase, but that's definitely going on my list as an incentive.
Wonderful!!!
Thanks Kyle! Be sure to check out Dean's work.
Oh, his work led me to this performance, and no doubt you did him proud. I think he was simply the best - one of a kind!
BEAUTIFUL! Dean would be proud of you!
Thanks Tom. Dean was a huge supporter of me and my magic.
Wow, beautiful and powerful...well done Dan :)
+Pete Vidal Thanks Pete! Hope all is well in your world!
Amazing coin work! That last coin vanishing from under the glass is breathtaking and brilliant thinking. Just like Dean would have wanted.
Thanks so much Chad. I really appreciate that. Did you know Dean?
+Dan Trommater Not personally, just through the legacy of work he left behind.
Very beautiful performance! You're a great magician, and I can't even begin to imagine Dean's capabilities! My girlfriend and I enjoyed it deeply. keep on the good work!
That's very kind of you Giovanni. You should certainly look up some of Dean's magic here on CZcams.
Loved the last trick.
Thanks! It's an unpublished routine of Dean's.
Is there anyway a person could learn it?
I am rewatching this video with a critical eye, to strengthen my own understanding of performing.
I hope that's a valuable process for you Nicholas. I imagine you could learn from my flaws as well as my successes. Back in 2000, I spent the year living in LA so I could be near the Castle. I spent lots of nights watching the same magician do his or her act over and over, learning little bits from each show. It was so enlightening to see how an act would morph from show to show.
Dan Trommater >Very valuable. I've also been watching Michael Vincent, because of the size of the crowd.
(Size of the crowd he works.)
Nicholas Vollmann Which video? Link please?
Such a great performance! Congratulations! Now you have a brazialian big fan of you job!
+Tiago Pizoli Many thanks Tiago! It was an honor to do this show.
That might have been the most beautiful routines I have ever seen....Absolutely magical
Thanks very much!
Hey Dan, it's so cool seeing you perform @ the magic castle & as you probably are aware, your Dean Dill was my Jerry Andrus . We are both quite Blessed in these ways !
+bRad “bRadicalMagic” Nichols Thanks Brad. Yes indeed, we were both lucky to have such great minds in our lives.
beautiful final trick. Dean was a special soul.
Chris Appelhans Thanks Chris. Yes, Dean was very special indeed. I know he touched so many with his gifts.
+Dan Trommater pleasure watching you perform. Where can I find this last trick ? Please email me at stoyantonchev@gmx.com with some info. Thank you.
Dean Dill was great, no surprise you looked upon him.
His sleight of hand reminds me of SLYDINI. I thought I caught the sleight of hand until he did the trick with no handkerchief and with the lady. INCREDIBLE!
Thanks David! I love performing those routines. Dean taught me so much and I've added some of my own thinking and touches.
You're an incredible magician. Where are your shows? Vegas?
That's very kind of you. I live in Toronto so many of my shows are here, but I travel for gigs too. 99% of my work is at private functions, but I occasionally do public performances here in Toronto.
+Dan Trommater Generational sorcery or blood pact? You can be freed from the bondage sir. Give your life to Jesus Christ and turn from your demons and believe the Gospel before it's to late and you experience the horror of your "buddies" hauling you off to the Lake of Fire for eternity.
+nick Anderson Thanks for your concern over my 'soul'. Rest assured that I'm not going for a swim in the Lake of Fire.
Those coin tricks were really awesome. Mind blown.
Thanks Nate! it's a thrill to perform them at the Castle.
+Dan Trommater You are welcome! I watched all of your CZcams videos and you are really good! Cool stuff.
Perfectly done. ᵔᴥᵔ ★★★★★
Katalyzt
Katalyzt Thanks very much. I learned so much from Dean.
I wish I saw more than just a hand, when he made the last coin move through the table... the girl on the right's face was priceless though.
So is satanistSin different from ChristianSin?
BTW: I too love watching reactions to magic, especially children . . .
bRad Nichols Not besides the obvious. ;-)
Only part I cant figure out i show the dice got in the box when there was a full deck in there to begin with
wonderful performance. do you have your materials on LLpublishing?
Thanks! No, none of my stuff is published. Much is adapted from Dean's work and others. I stand on the shoulders of giants.
12:11 love the patter
wasn't the coin routine created by Slydini?
Easily one of the best magicians in the business.
you're good but damn the girl in black now she's real good
11:47 - I can't even deal. I just can't even. So good. Also, I hope I end up at +nick Anderson's hat tipping show. So I can see the COMETHING JUDGMENT. God bless, and other meaningless platitudes.
yeah, that's a nice moment, even from my angle. looks like real magic.
I don't understand. All i can think of is magnets or somehow pulling the coins back up into your sleep with some device but even that doesn't make sense. 11:48 at .25 speed you can literally watch the bottom coin disappear. I've watched it 50 times and it just vanishes and his hand does nothing. Is it his ring? I really don't see how and his hand looks clean after
Dan could you recommend a good place or source to start learning coin tricks? I have massive hands and can't even seem to palm one properly :(
That's a nice moment, isn't it Mike? Kinda like magic. :)
There are lots of great sources. The 'bible' of coin magic is JB Bobo's New Modern Coin Magic book. But to get started, I'd suggest David Roth's videos from L&L Publishing. Start with the first one, then go from there. www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic/magic-dvds/basic-coin-magic-volume-1-david-roth/ Be patient - coin magic can be tough.
You could pass an elephant through that table and I would never notice, I was gazing at that black-dressed girl the whole time....damn
OT great performance.
This routine is influenced by..... and he does same trick two times just once as coins across second time coins trough, dont understand either what it has to do with Dean Dill he didnt invented a shell wtf?
11:46 - Fu...!
It's a nice moment, isn't it?
Good performance. Bad language and stiff jokes though.
