Ben seems to have taken principles and ides that were probably created a century ago and then
everyone stopped thinking and went onto something new. Ben finds something that almost worked and
was sometimes a simple novelty. Ben continues to think and evolve those pieces and principles where
everyone else stopped thinking. One of the principles that he turns into a masterpiece was a little
gimmick that I got in my first magic set in 1948. Ben moved it around and turned it upside down. He
combined it with another simple principle and WOW! A masterpiece.
The tricks are excellent
as is his performance. Most valuable is one sentence that he lightly shared. “The secrets of magic
have secrets.” I think it’s the foundation of what he creates and what he shares in the video and
his magic.
