Looking to learn magic tricks? Look no further! Jay Sankey, one of my favorite thinkers in magic, stopped by my YouTube Channel to share some fun tricks anyone can do anytime. Check out these FOUR FREE TRICKS you can set up in seconds! I love teaching easy to do magic that have big impact. Unless you are going to do magic for a living, it's pointless to learn advanced psychology, pick-picketing and sleight of hand when you can be up and running in one minute! Enjoy my friends!
Was that not a blast to watch? 11 minutes went by in a blink. No, it was not hypnosis. It's the clean and fun teaching of my bud Jay Sankey. He teaches ENDLESS tricks over in his camp. Check it out at InsideDeception.com - You can tell him "The Ice Breaker" sent you. It's great stuff for all ages and skill levels. While you are here, check out my "Dating Magic" book.
If you are still reading and did not watch the video, the four tricks consist of:
1. Breaking a piece of stir stick off and making it vanish and appear under any location... a friends purse, a friends coffee, etc. 2. A hilarious "phone" trick! Make your phone vanish, catch on fire, break it, crush it or roll it into a ball and kick it away. 3. An awesome prediction with fire and fingers... No, don't worry, we are professionals: Imagine drawing a hand on a napkin. Let your friend light a match and burn the underside of any finger they choose(on the napkin silly, not you!). "OUCH!" you say... and immediately show a massive blister PHYSICALLY on your finger tip THEY burned on the paper. I know you will be doing this today! :) 4. Lastly, a great bar bet to get a girls phone number!

If you watch America's Got Talent, you certainly know the name and face of Collins Key! He took America by storm with his amazing auditions with mental magic. Unlike large, glamourous acts, Collins charms and defies logic with seemingly everyday, simple items. From predictions and influence to magic and sleight of hand, this kid is someone to keep on eye on! Isn't it refreshing to see a fun magic act by someone just being themselves? No Glitter, no hype.
After a couple days of brainstorming in the "secret lair"
I'm so proud to see him attack this pressure and television show engine like a pro. I can tell you first hand, as their creative consultant behind the scenes, that he has everything it takes to be the next superstar of magic. He has the hole package: hard work ethic you have to see to believe, supportive family, serious chops (that's magic talk for being a bad ass with your hands!), connection with fans and ridiculous charm and looks. Did I mention he's 6'4"?! In fact, he shut down the AGT twitter feed from so much female attraction. Very rarely does a contestant start of on a show as a completely unknown and generate this type of following so rapidly. Keep in mind he just turned 17. The host of AGT, Nick, said he's like the Justin Bieber of magic.
Collin's before it all took off. He aint a bad editor either!
If you do not watch AGT, here's some of the early auditions before he went to the finals. Trust me, there's a lot more in store with Collins. You've seen nothing yet.
Watch a dollar vanish to a popcorn bag:
Watch a chosen page from a book transport to an envelope:
A premonition appears in the most impossible place:
Using magic to get a date:
Collins smashes a $250,000 watch and alters time:
At AGT Finals. A YouTube Prediction:
At AGT Finals. Collins gets cards to switch in judges mouths:
And the show end with a new twist on some old tricks!
(UPDATE: As you very well may know, Collins made the top 6 finals day. We learn tonight the results!... The results are in and he made #5 in 2013! Not bad for a young, new magician!! We are going to see some great things from him in the future! You'll see;))
So funny - the emails and comments floating around... Listen, I'm proud of Collins Key for PUTTING HIMSELF OUT THERE on AGT at 16, now 17. I/he never said he was the most experienced magician... but he's the only one to make it far (and NO magician has ever made the finals) on the show and he has my respect and support for taking on the challenge and opportunity. So many people sit at home and complain about others who TRY. Get over yourselves, show some respect and wish others well. :) Life is short, support each other and you'll be rewarded.
Please SHARE this page and I'll be sure to add more of his AGT videos in one, nice concise spot.

"I didn't start doing magic until my late 20's. If I saw magic on television, I'd try to come up with a way it was done. Most of my thinking was 'wrong'... but led to some very useful tools I use in my magic today! It's time to share it." - Magician Rich Ferguson

The Sal Paradise - Bakery, Sandwiches & Focacceria (formerly Sal's Sandwiches and Beer) is located in beautiful downtown San Luis Obispo just catty-corner to the Mission. It's a magical place! Why do you ask? Well, first of all, the food is great and it's perfect for people watching. However, they are extra magical for asking yours truly to create one of their sandwiches. It's called The Magician. Let's me break it down for you...
This has been one of my favorite sandwich forever. The avocado takes down the spice a bit and makes it more creamy... you might say it's makes it "vanish" a little. It's a nice level medium spice with lots of FLAVOR vs just hot for the sake of hot. The cucumber gives it some more crunch and a tiny refreshing taste and texture. You might say that cucumber is "invisible" and subtle. You would not really notice it was there unless I told you. It's freaking GOOD. Try it. There is a tiny surprising kick of flavor and spice after you finnish eating. You might say it "appears." Warning, it's thick like most of their sandwiches. Beware of rooftop mouth damage! Take you time eating it;)
If you are looking for places to eat in San Luis Obispo, visit Sal's. Ask for "The Magician"... It's so gratifying to make that sandwich "disappear!"
As you can see from Sal's Menu, The Magician consists of:
