“You need to suspend all the chaos in your western brain for a bit. Yes, you can look up the “how” in an online thread or a wikipedia article, but why? Take a breath and just enjoy the show.
Gary Thison is close to the epitome of ‘just let me suspend all that stuff and just enjoy this seamless illusion.’ He’s good, REALLY good. Okay - I used to hangout with some magicians/illusionists. Folk would try out their new tricks for me and I’d see the fumbles. I learned some simple stuff but enough about me. Gary does a wonderful 3 card monte with colors change too! Your personal phone will start doing wild stuff with his instructions. Then suddenly spit out your name.
Take a breath and just enjoy. Sometimes magic will just take you away from the chaos. That is what it's about. Also if you have a group of folk who don’t know each other, this is the ultimate ice breaker. Gary gets folk sharing the magic and they start talking to each other.
That is the real magic”
