Hi, everyone. My son, Mitchell (10 y.o.), is obsessed with magic. He does hot shot cuts, triple charliers, faro shuffles, passes, revolution cuts, fans, dock/duck changes, full three-card monte routines (he got caught behind the elementary school), and more. He even has a picture of Daryl in his room (above Wayne Gretzky).
He also does a great cups and balls routine with impressions of Gazzo and Ammar with large final loads, plus a full ultimate ambitious card routine 'a la Daryl' (including the rope), and an uncanny Paul Daniels chop cup tribute, and more. In fact, he goes around the house muttering in an English accent... "Where's the ball? It's on top of the bottom of the cup... and when you flick you've got a lemon..." And Gazzo..."Is that your wife or are you on a business trip?" In any event, so far I've only posted his straitjacket escape. The straitjacket (non-gimmicked) was custom made for him by Clyde Mighells. Mitchell is 10 years old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfjohrY6KO4 Let me know what people would like me to post next and I'll get it online shortly. Incidentally, for the school-wide talent show, he's being tied up and bound in his straitjacket by the principal and his 5th grade teacher... in front of an audience of about 500. Thanks, Richard |

Dear Richard,
Good video. I wish I had started at that age. I'd say Mitchell should beware of copying other Magicians but he's young and we should try to emulate good Magicians at least till we find our own character. As long as he's looking for his own character he's OK. I noticed a slight French accent creep in as I practiced Tabary's Rope Routine and I'm from California. Are you into Magic as well? Best of luck to Mitchell. He's just starting in a wonderful journey. - Mary Mowder |
