it would look"

Styles
of Magic:

similar events

Restaurant - wandering from table to table
Private party - your family room, his magic
Trade shows - no better way to get visitors to your booth
Parlor - for groups of a few dozen to a few hundred
Stage - for large groups and audiences
Educational - teaching a little about history and
illustrating it with magic

Most
Requested Illusions:
In intimate environments such as bars, private parties and
restaurants Magic John rarely avoids being asked to perform his version
of "the floating dollar". A borrowed piece of paper money
floats, with no obvious support
His "Self levitation" is always a hit. He just
walks away and then you see him float off the ground
Card fans are always amazed that he has already marked the
card that they are going to chose
In larger environmets his "Explanation of ESP" is always a
hit
"The Ashes of Chung Ling Soo" is not only entertaining, it
is funny and truly mystifying as well as educational
Comment
from Magic John:
I want my audience to have the chance to feel like a child again.
As a child there are many things that we see that are
mysteriious. As we get older we lose the chance to be
mystified. I try to bring that back. What I do is
not magic, it just looks like it. The audience should be
challenged to look at the world with a different perspective.
I don't like to use much equipment, I use completely
"day-to-day" objects, just causing them to behave in strange ways.
My
magic plays with your mind, not your eyes.
An Interesting Challenge:
People often challenge me to something, some magic they know, or some
bar-challenge. I have one of my own, you can
try it here
or next time you see me.
What Magicians Do:
There are a number of expriments that have been performed over the years
that demonstrate the art of mis-direction. I have
saved videos of
a couple of favorites for your pleasure.
