Probably, the most important two assets for a performer -- AND a teacher -- of magic are:
(1.) he knows his technical stuff, skilled with sleights;
(2.) BUT MORE than that, he
is LIKABLE. I'm a better student of magic and magicians than I am a performer. For a half-century,
I've read over and over that, if the audience LIKES you, they'll forgive a flub.
So PINT
BREAK is a cool, ordinary-object illusion -- performed by a skilled magician -- and you like him and
the trick.
The sleight seems daunting to me, but Marcus Eddie's personality -- his smile,
voice, overall presentation, and explanation -- makes it less threatening a task to try.
And I will --WILL -- get this sucker into my pencil routine. Thank you Marcus Eddie!
