This is Michael O’Brien’s act from the Magic Castle, filmed just last month.
A Video Friday treat from Tyler Rabbit: a full show from the Magic Castle. It is almost 20 minutes, but what a great way to wrap up the week and slide into the weekend. We found this on his Vimeo page, but you should also check out the Coin Magic Underground YouTube page.
You know what: we’re going to see about making this an all Magic Castle performance Video Friday!

The latest installment of the Pigeon Magic Troupe has been posted on the official KBS Youtube page. This is an ongoing series of parody magic performances from the KBS network show Gag Concert. You can click on the captions for English subtitles if they are not already on screen. There is something about these bits I really like; I really think the performers have a respect for magic but still can poke fun at it.
