The Big Blind Friday Ep. 48

Your weekly dose of magic from around the world, from BBM

Hey Owen,

Do you find yourself waiting for Friday to come so you can enjoy some time for yourself in the weekend? Well, we do too! And what better way to announce the coming of Friday than with 5 great pieces of magic content from around the world!

🎙️ 1. M for Magic : The Castle Documentary

A documentary about the making of The Magic Castle and all the people that've attended the place.

With unprecedented access, filmmaker Alexis Manya Spraic delves deep into the four generations of the legendary Larsen family who turned a decrepit gothic mansion into the famous, 'mecca of magic' beloved by Cary Grant, David Copperfield, Orson Welles, David Blaine, Steve Martin, Penn & Teller, Ricky Jay and Dai Vernon.

🎮 2. Anna DeGuzman scares Lil Uzi Vert

Honestly, I did not expect Lil Uzi Vert, the rapper behind hits such as Drankin N Smokin or 20 minutes to be so child-like when watching magic.

You can really tell Anna was having such a good time performing for Uzi.

See what she performs

🃏 3. Magicians in Mistery Books

If you like magic and reading books, but want to take a break from non-fiction, then here's a list of books for you!

I've been collecting books where the main protagonist / antagonist is a magician and I recently stumbled upon this goldmine of a list.

If you're a bookwork or a collector like myself, then dive in and enjoy. There's some good titles in here.

TA-DA! List of fiction magic books

📚 4. David Blaine Prepares New LV Show

After launching his first Vegas show “In Spades” at Resorts World Theatre just about a year ago, illusionist David Blaine is ready to bring something new to the Strip for New Year’s Eve.

I loved hearing that Blaine is putting together a new LV show. I feel that you can get caught up in performing the same show on and on without feeling the need to change anything. Very excited to see how his new show is going to be. Aren't you?

🃏 5. Card Stacking Around Cats

The story of Tian Rui, from China, who owns a couple of Guinness World Book records.

Here's what happens when a magician injures his hand so much that he has to give up magic entirely. Tian Rui picked up card-stacking in order to heal his hand and ended up falling in love with it. What would you have done if you were in his place? I sometimes think about this.
