A rarity for you all today. not only am I clearing a backlog of old topics by posting 3 times in one day, this post has TWO embedded videos featuring yours truly.
At the start of May I used a new routine I’d been working on to enter my local magic club‘s closeup competition. Within this post you will find a recording of my act AND a separate video giving details of my creative process in coming up with it.
Later today I will post some sour grapes about coming second masquerading as a treatise on creativity.
The Act
The Process
What I love about this video is that you can quite clearly tell how I started with the intent of doing a more tightly scripted and timed explanation, but as it went on I had more and more to say and it just turned into a lightly edited stream of consciouness.
I’m thinking of producing more video content for this blog, so if you enjoyed this, comment on the videos themselves, since I am not about to enable comments here in my sanctum sanctorum.
