Magic Tricks

I have always heard a lot about David Ben, usually in the context of some theater production. That is not my thing. But I had always heard him described as a sleight of hand artist, and that IS my thing, so I ordered this lecture. Man, it did not disappoint. This guy does magic. And he does it eloquently. His cardwork is amazing. He does sleights that I had stopped doing because I didn't think they were deceptive enough. But Mr. Ben adds touches and grace to simple sleights and truly elevates them. This has caused me to revisit my once-discarded moves.

He just has the aura of a magician. He is not a move monkey, but boy has he got moves. But he uses them in the context of magic, not narcissistic sleight display. And it is awesome. In short, I would say this lecture has some great pointers and magic instruction for the sleight of hand guys, but my favorite part was simply watching Mr. Ben work. Highly recommended.
