Michael Vincent, this video was absolutely terrific. As a film director and magician myself, I was particularly excited to watch this. I had no idea the book was back in print and missed my chance to get a copy. Most of all, I throughly enjoy your inspirational videos. What a breath of fresh air during these trying times.
Good tribute. Cy's Chess set is also a thing of beauty. Very talented gentleman. Even though he claimed little originality to it, his cards to Pocket is definitely worthy of study.
Your description of Cy Enfield would be so very close to how I would describe you and your Magical performances. I know he is smiling down upon you my Brother.
You are so correct that every chapter in those books (originally in three parts) are all blockbusters. One of the items I don’t know if I’ll ever perform is scaling cards but the description of the method is so clear somehow feel I can. It is a gem of a book to revisit.
Thanks again for another great video. My magic library is growing due to your great recommendations of magic books. I’ll have to try and get a copy of Cy Endfields book. I’ve seen your version of aces for connoisseurs, brilliant! (I have your dvd by Alakazam) Would love to see the original and the other delights in this book.
Hi Michael, You are so inspiring me to keep doing magic, and I would like you to do a video of the best books you recommend to advanced magician. Thank you.
Very glad you did this. Been trying to determine a concise compendium of card tricks. That "Conjuring" book you said in another video was your first hasn't proven easy to locate second hand and they want about 1200 dollars for it on Amazon! LOL.
It was nice to hear Joshua Jay mentioned even in passing. Have you ever had a chance to interact with him? He's a good man, skilled, and has a wonderful mom (she took a liking to my son and used to email when he was around 9. He's 23 now and still speaks lovingly of her. Good people.) It would be nice to see you explore some of his work. Thx for the videos and for sharing your thoughts as always.
