This is a promotional video for the upcoming 2017 Future of Storytelling Summit featuring Derek DelGaudio. It is very interesting… You can find out more about the summit on their website. This is what inspired today’s “advice” theme.
…And you can think about every Derek says for the rest of the weekend. Have a safe one! But first we have to get through Friday.
This is a longer video (about 20 minutes)… perfect for lunch! In it Vinh Giang shares a video of a TEDx Talk he did (we aren’t sure where) on magic and showmanship. We do know, though, that you can see more on Vinh Giang on his official website and that this video was presented on the 52 Cards YouTube Page.
In this 2014 interview from Young Hollywood David Copperfield talks about his appearance on the season finale of The Amazing Race but he also touches upon many more interesting (and timely) points about technology and performing. You could do a lot worse than getting advice from Copperfield…
We think that we might just make today’s Video Friday theme advice or food for thought or something along those lines… and in that (vaguely defined) spirit we bring you this video from Chris Ramsay titled “How I Create Magic.” Now, he doesn’t mean new effects but the actual magic component of his performances. Only the first half of the video is his advice, then he does some unboxing of mail.
Faculty from the Jeff McBride School of Magic and Mystery, including Eugene Burger, discuss important books for your magic library.
David Kwong explains everything you need to know about how illusions work for Wired Magazine.
The pilot of Deception, the magic influenced crime procedural David co-wrote and co-produced, was shown at Comic-Con last month and IGN reviewed it here. Given Chris Fedak (Chuck) is involved and there is magic I have high hopes!
This is a little longer than we normally post, but Andrew Tarvin’s TEDx TAMU talk on humor is worth watching. Andrew went to school to become a computer engineer, but became an improv comic and applies engineering project management techniques to learning and teaching comedy.
