Your weekly dose of magic from around the world from BBM

Hey Owen,

Today we venture into all sorts of areas and sections of magic, from games to performances, feuds and celebrations - welcome back to Bigblindmedia's Big Blind Friday, the day of the week when we show you magic gems from all across the world.

🎙️ 1. The End Of Magic World's 50 Year Feud

“I’ve never even seen a magic show,” Mr. Geller, now a lean and tireless 76-year-old, said during a recent interview in Tel Aviv at the Uri Geller Museum, which he opened in 2021. “Except one: Siegfried and Roy in Las Vegas, because I missed a flight.”

An amazing article that looks at Uri Geller's legacy, how he achieved it and what his standing is right now in pop culture.

🎮 2. Michael Jordan Tries To Trick David Blaine

Only Michael Jordan could attempt to try and fool David Blaine. It's a 'cute' thing that he does, but it's the intention that counts.

Now, honestly, I have no idea how Blaine pulls any of this stuff. It's flabbergasting.

See what Jordan does

🃏 3. Dance of Cards: Poker With Abilities | PC GAME

If you enjoy playing poker and RPG games, then you'll be thrilled to find out there is a game that combines the two!

The best part about this game is that it's made by an ex-magician and the game itself uses prestidigitation talents!

✨4. Hunger Games Actor Learns Magic for Role

"I remember thinking it's changing the way I think about the world. Just seeing what he was doing, what was possible, and how he thought about magic and how magicians think about things."

Actor Jason Schwartzman talks about his experience learning magic from magician Tobias Dostal in preparation for his role in Hunger Games where he must perform magic.

What did Jason think of Dostal?

🃏 3. Pen & Teller's Long Goodbye

"The duo’s First Final UK Tour is more amusing than astonishing but demonstrates what drew them to the confounding craft in the first place."

A look at Pen and Teller's First Final UK Tour and what one can see during the show.

I really loved this line from the article, "For magicians must outdo themselves, again and again, just to stand still."

The Universal xChange by Biz - Exclusive Download - us

The Universal xChange is a KILLER move from the ingenious mind of Biz!

An outjogged card is plunged into the centre of the deck and pulled back out to reveal that it has changed value. It is done in full view, at the fingertips, and looks utterly impossible.

With Biz's clear and succinct teaching this sleight is actually:

*Easy to do

*Versatile use it as a colour change use it with facedown cards as a switch use it to swap one card for multiple cards

*Even use it as a transformation playing card to credit card playing card to poker chip playing card to billet playing card to bill
