  • Johnny Ace Palmer, magician extraordinaire, visited the Pacific Testing Laboratories holiday party to share his incredible sleight of hand and illusions. My favorite was the incredible variation on cups and balls. If you're in Southern California and would like to book Johnny for your next event, call him at 714-373-8749 or visit www.johnnyacepalmer.com/

      @@ohgary well, you just probably don't follow magic as an art form. Im not a magician myself, but have been a fan of magic for few years now. I know how most of the televised tricks are done, and it brings me more appreciation to the artists and their presentation. In this video, there are mostly classic tricks, easy to understand but extremely difficult to apply.

    When my daughter was 13 and knew it all, I took her to see Johnny Ace Palmer at Zachs. When we were waiting for the show to start she declared "There is no such thing as magic". After she signed a card and he made it stick to the ceiling, she was impressed. By the time he finished his act with the cups and balls, she was wide eyed, flabbergasted and no longer a know-it-all! Thanks Johnny!

    @kevinwells4986 Před 3 lety +1

    I could see the distraction and sleight of hand on most of the videos with Johnny, but I would have never seen it live. And that's the real trick. His distraction is perfect, and his delivery is so good... I think he is as good as any sleight of hand magician that I have witnessed, and I actually knew a few of them in my years. Plus he is so entertaining. Darn CZcams videos, especially up close, let you slow everything down - but again, it doesn't matter. His performance is tops. And of course, I could not figure out everything he did. He's really quick, and deceptive - and as I suggested but did not say explicitly, he is a world class entertainer. At least to me he is. Once I found him I watched all the videos I could find. I hope he is doing well today.

    • @kevinwells4986
      @kevinwells4986 Před 3 lety +1

      addendum, I had to look up more videos. Of course he had to redo many of his routines, to fill out an act, but he has that extra something which allows him to vary the delivery. Plus he is able to enjoy the delivery himself, you can tell by listening to him and watching him perform the same trick in different videos. He's into it along with his audience, which always makes for the best possible performance. And yes, he brings in new stuff to his shows, which may become routine in the future - but his delivery will not make them seem routine. What a great performer who earns the title of magician.

      Well, the very first thing I saw in this video is a ring dangling from his left hand sleeve, which he used to extract flowers.
      He is certainly a charismatic person and for the most part is a very smooth sleight of hand. But as with all sleight of hand tricks it only works because spectators don't know what he is going to do. If you expect those alive chickens, bottles or rabbits to appear it is not really hard to see, when he puts them in there.

    This guy makes you feel like a kid again. He does the classics with such grace. He’s what a magician is suppose to be. A true professional.

    Johnny was in my magic club, friend since the 70s. When I took my sons to LA in 2007, we saw Ricky Jay 52 Assistants, and Johnny at Earth, Wind and Flour. They were more impressed by Johnny. Fact.
