Magic By Misdirection

- by Enrico Varella
(Based on Bob Chua's Lecture on the 3rd February 2007 SMC Gathering)

[Enrico Varella is the founder and editor of The Quantum Ring, the official newsletter of IBM 115, Singapore since 1995. He has been published in The Linking Ring, and The Encyclopaedia of Card Forces (by Lewis Jones). He has received credit for his creation, the Tiepit (a jacket-less topit) in Bob Fitch's The Topit Workshop 3-DVD set (Kohler Magic). He is currently completing his omnibus of his Tiepit principles and application.]

Magic without misdirection: can this premise work? Can we perform magical effects without the principles of misdirection? The answer seems YES. However, can misdirection enhance the impact of the magic being presented?

Having stayed both nights, I think I'll just share a few of the fun moments...

DAY 1:

We did all the last minute shopping - charcoal, drinks, BREAD, sausages, toiletries (for me at least...), fire-starters - funny how a bunch of magicians need fire starters to get a fire started... Hmmm... Fire-retarded magicians. Wait till you hear how helpful the firestarters were on the BBQ night. NTUC proved a real maze for us as Jerome led us from point A to point B and back to point A only to realise we were trying to get to point C. We found out eventually that point C was really a level below us.

The Day of the Fellowship - A Photo Blog

Finally!!

Here’s the photos of the MMF Mini Convention from the SMC group who came. The night before, all of us were in Genting for the Mysteria magic show by Tim Kole and stayed over at Genting. That was a whole lot of too but it’s a different story for a different time.

Anyways, here’s the phtos for Day 2 of our Genting + KL trip……The Day of the Fellowship.
