I found these two videos that are completely different and yet with a very similar concept, that is to say mixing different arts to make the experience about a lot more than just music or just images. When you blend all of the components, it just becomes amazing and full of creativity. Let's push the limits !!!
ALCATEL-LUCENT proposed this immersive experience to its clients during the latest Mobile World Congress. People were supposed to enter a cube where a mapping video had been made to illustrate their tagline : "Transforming the mobile experience".
Gravity is another video clip made by Renaud Hallée, I already presented you Sonar, an animation clip with loops and music cycles, really relaxing ! Hope you enjoyed.
Tonight we are gathering at Les Cariatides, 3 rue Palestro 75002 Paris (Métro : Etienne Marcel, Réaumur Sébastopol ou Châtelet) as every tuesday to do magic and share an evening with everyone present. You should come, it is always a lot of fun !
The video of the day was first done in the Bible, then it was Tiger Woods, now some guys are going for it. Is a myth or the truth ? It doesn't really matter, I think the most important quote to prove that from the video is : "You have to believe you can do these things, it's not impossible ..."
I wish to everyone a very good sunny sunday and hope you are gonna love these two pieces from Australia's Got Talent by Adam Murby and his little sister doing some really cool illusions, and in the other video 36-year-old English lecturer Hayashi performs a really dangerous act with his blade. The video could not be embedded but follow the link :-)
KLM launched their new Economy Comfort product at Manchester Airport T2 with Ramana on the 16th February. What a buzz they made using magic as a marketing tool. It is amazing how it gathers everyone from all ages and background and the reaction it gets.
Magic is Everywhere ...
As an extra, here is a nice world record that might give you some idea of taking off to some far destination in the near future.
108 skydivers from the USA, United Arab Emirates, France, United Kingdom, Australia, Norway, Italy, Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico, Venezuela, Austria, Germany, Argentina, and Israel set a new world record for a vertical skydiving formation at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, Illinois on July 31st, 2009. They exited 5 planes from 17,000 feet and traveled at speeds over 180 MPH to link up in a pre-planned formation. how crazy cool is that ?
The Chemical Brothers will be launching a new album soon : "Further". As a big fan and since the clip is really trippy, I posted the latest release "Swoon" just down below for the pleasure of your eyes and hears ...

La Maison Tellier a sorti un nouvel album fin mars : "l'Art de la Fugue" et réalise le clip de Suite Royale rempli de manipulation de cartes sur table et de fioritures. J'aime !

Derren Brown has been working last year with people claiming on having paranormal abilities. He has made a new series of three documentaries, each one with a different touch : one with a British psychic medium, another with a ghosthunter from the US, and a third concerns a Russian system of human development that claims to cure blindness. Here is the trailer !
If you don't know who is Derren Brown, he is a famous magician, hypnotist and magic TV program maker and producer. If you want to know more, I advise you to go watch some great videos here.
I met him personally after his show Enigma. I got hypnotzed on stage and the show was unbelievable such as the experience. So inspiring !
If you are reading this, you are probably not a fan of High School Musical 1, 2, 3, ..., 18 or I hope you aren't or don't know what it is. Neither do I, by the way. However some people might do something good out of something really bad they have seen on TV. I guess "Glee" answers that question : how to make a good TV Show from that bad High School Musical one ?
Glee is a show about teenagers joining a club (Glee club = une chorale) wanting to perform, sing and dance to express their feelings to the outside world. This gathering ends up being the place where guys and girls stay together because they are put aside by the others for their humor, appearance or any other "lack of normality".
The show has been doing really good and the second half of the first season has restarted a few weeks ago. If you like choires and teenage high school dramas, this serie is made for you with all the old tunes you just love.
The cast of Glee has even been invited to perform at the White House's Easter celebration.
If you are interested in more dancing, I posted earlier an article about extraordinary dancers called the LXD, they mix break dancing choregaphies on classical music. It is amazing !
But for now, here is one teaser of a Glee episode. It might seem like a silly TV Show and this is exactly what it is : a light and funny TV show inspiring you to loads of new and old songs you had forgotten about and that made you feel so good at that particular moment. That's when the magic occurs.
Le mois dernier a eu lieu le Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Award 2010 qui met en compétition tous les plus grands surfeurs sur une année. Chaque professionnel de la discipline doit parcourir le monde à la recherche de la plus grosse vague et ramener des vidéos de ses exploits.
Ce soir, c'est le premier mardi du mois, nous organisons donc une scène ouverte gratuite (quelqu'un passe quand même avec un chapeau à la fin) de magie et d'humour à partir de 20h aux Cariatides, 3 rue Palestro. Vous êtes les bienvenus ! A ce soir.
J'avais écrit récemment un article sur le passage de mon brevet B2 à Gap et posté des photos pour illustrer le tout. J'attendais patiemment les vidéos des sauts pour pouvoir faire un montage et vous laissez admirer la vue qu'il y a de là-haut ...
Take a deep breath ! ... Relax !
