C'est Mardi Magie, on se retrouve aux Cariatides, un bar vers Chatelet, 6 rue Palestro (Métro Etienne Marcel aussi, à partir de 20h environ. Vous êtes les bienvenus si vous voulez vous joindre à nous pour voir de la magie ou parler de ce sujet passionant. A la votre !
Ce soir il n'y a pas de spectacle, il aura lieu mardi prochain. C'est tout les 1er mardis du mois pour ne pas oublier. En attendant si vous voulez voir les photos des précédents, voici les liens ici et là.
Un travail surprenant par un artiste américain Nathan Sawaya qui réalise des structures et sculptures en LEGO depuis 2000. J'avoue que j'ai un penchant pour la première photo ci-dessus qui fait un bon lien avec le blog mais les autres sont aussi géniales.
If you havn't heard of this talented English magician, you sure will ... sooner than you think.
He has kept on becoming more and more famous thanks to his passion for magic since he was a child and his numerous surprising videos on Internet.
I had posted many of his tricks such as the one where he picks up a mobile phone through a TV screen (click here) or the one where he changes people's facebook status by waving his hand on their computer screen (click here). He even made an amazing professional video : his Showreel 2010.
He has a new website coming up and here is a video from a few days ago of Dynamo performing in aid of Sport Relief for Robbie Williams, Davina Mccall & James Corden. Enjoy !
Many magicians have influenced me throughout the years, I have been performing. They have made me understand more about magic, more about others and more about myself.
Dynamo is one of them and I had the chance to meet him once when I was in London. It was for Xavier's birthday, my street magician accomplice and dear friend. The encounter was really interesting, and I can tell you that Dynamo is very talented and open about his art and passion for Street Magic.
I think he pushed Magic a step further and I am glad to write about this cool magician who is going to go far and beyond. Thank you for the inspiration, mate !
The 1st photo episode is here : a Street Magic session after dinner. The 2nd episode is a video and is even better. Let me know what you think and please comment ...
Thank you Gus and Janina for your cooperation and having so much fun all together. It's been a crazy week-end @ Torino.
The planet is not going well and every one knows it.
You can choose to ignore it or keep being interested in your planet's future and next generations by learning and getting information from as many sources as you may. Some people choose to act and give you the chance to understand how things work and what we can do about it.
If you havn't heard about "The Story of Stuff", I added the video down below for you to watch and get a new point of view on the world we live in. Today a new video is out and I just felt compelled to share it with you. You can find "The Story of Bottled Water" here.
For now, I hope you take the time to watch the 2 year old video about "The Story of Stuff". If you havn't seen it already, it might be an eye-opener ... If you have seen it, then follow the link above for the brand new one.
There are some magicians that just know how to be creative and do it simply well. It is hard to make an original video and this one is really neat, a mix with magic and augmented reality.
BMW uses a famous magic trick to advertise its Motorrad campaign. It doesn't really matter if it is fake or not, the idea is cool. Have a look !

I start calling it Magic Marketing since a lot of brands such as LEGO or Samsung (see Samsung ad here) have used this art to communicate creatively about their products. It is usually really well done and original.
Je viens de tomber là-dessus et j'ai un peu du mal à en croire mes yeux. Les 2 peintures au-dessus, oui ce sont biens des peintures, font partie d'un courant que l'on appelle l'hyper-réalisme. Si vous voulez en voir d'autres, suivez ce lien. C'est très impressionant !
Dans un autre style et pour prendre à contrepied les conventions, Alexa Meade a créé et travaillé sur des objets en 3D avec de la peinture acrylique. Le résultat est saisissant et je crois que s'il n'y avait pas les photos avec des gens normaux autour, on ne ferait pas la différence.
Eric Mead is a magician and position himself in the exclusive mystery entertainment (nice phrasing by the way, clear and to the point). He did an intervention @ TED where he talked about placebos and showed a nice needle trick. Even will he explain one.
If you are about to eat ... perhaps it is better to wait before watching ... !
TED often invites magicians ; David Blaine has given a speech where he talked about how he trained to hold his breath for 17min under water ... you can watch his TED Talk here. It is unbelievable !
