The Big Blind Friday

In this week's newsletter: new series, challenges, flipbooks and more

β€Š

Welcome Owen, to a new weekly series here in the Big Blind Media Newsletter Universe. From now on until the end of this year, every Friday we'll be sending you 5 things that we thought were worth sharing that week.


Could be an article, some idea we're playing around with, a tutorial, an open discussion or a magic game! - we want to do something different, share more of our EXPERIENCE, IDEAS and THOUGHTS with you, give you BEHIND-THE-SCENES glimpses and interact more with you πŸ€˜

So, from now on, whenever you see a Big Blind Friday E-mail in your inbox, know that it's filled with (what we believe is) INTERESTING stuff!


At the end of the year we ask you what you thought of the series and then decide if we keep on doing it or not (DEMOCRACY!)


That being said, here are 5 things we thought were worth sharing this week: 

β€Š

πŸ“š 1. Would you survive in the 1940s as a performing magician?


"If you are not participating in the dinner, it is not desirable to show yourself before your performance, but to hide."


Find out what magicians had to go through back in the 20th century. It's fascinating and funny.

🎬 2. French Lennard Green wins FISM22: Card Magic 


This year, French magician Markobi has cause quite a ruckus in Quebec, when his act made the whole crowd present at this year's FISM give him a standing ovation.  


If you haven't seen his performance yet, head over here and give it a watch. It's incroyable !

3. Quote of the week βœοΈ


β€œIt's not where you take things fromβ€” it’s where you take them to.”

Jean-Luc Godard (RIP filmmaking legend)

🎭 4. Vintage flipbook magic trick


I have been overly fascinated with flipbooks for the past month: how they're created, who makes them and how much they've evolved since I was a kid, and I was very happy to stumble upon this wonderful illusion presented by Grand Illusions on Youtube.

πŸ“Ή 5. "Collusion" Performance


Biz performs "Collusion" from Bannon's "Move Zero" DvD release from 2016. If you've never seen this effect before, buckle up for one of the most beautiful self-working tricks out there.


We're going to start posting more often on Instagram, so be on the lookout!


Watch the performance here

That was it for this week. Every week is different so make sure to tune in for the next episode of Big Blind Friday next week.

In case you missed it ...

Move Zero Vol 1 by John Bannon - Download

John Bannon's Move Zero is undoubtedly the most exciting study of self-working card magic this century. There is not one sleight in any of the eight featured jaw-droppingly impossible routines. Yet despite being automatic in method, each and every effect is a staggering, explosive, layered stunner.
