My pleasure Marion.
I really like watching Chris Ramsay videos. You can feel a lot of sincerity in what he's doing.
Regarding the video, amazing coin magic! So many talented magicians.
And you're right, it's really inspiring. And it shows how coin magic has evolved.
Y'know, this post got me thinking... I know how a lot of people feel about magic on YouTube and I have cringed myself at some of the less-than presentations and or exposures...It just ain't right.
BUT...
There is also a lot of good magic to be had up there...I just want to mention a few that always catch my eye, either because of their magic, teachings, or overall sense of entertainment & wonderment...And sometimes you find videos that are made of all 3 and even a little bit more . And they're all doing some coin work, too.
Anyway, these are few of the few good men up there...
Chris Ramsay - All around fun guy that is not only a very cool magician, but is pretty funny and brings you all sorts of magical situations, & other things.
52 Cards - Just a great teacher, very elegant and thoughtful as to the magic. You will learn if you watch him...He's that good, an absolute resource!
Vinny Marini - The Godfather makes you and offer you can't refuse in not only presenting a lot of good closeup magic, but he'll help you to learn it, too.
Oscar Owen - Great productions, presentations and a love for the art that is so plain to see and appreciate.
Mano - What a gifted magicians...Each finger like a magic wand. He can do anything coins as good as the best out there. Hoping for DVD one day soon.
ObrienMagic - Just an enthusiastic performer that works hard at it, and has perfected his everyday street magic to art.
PigCake - An offbeat, quirky, helluva a magician with some great chops. He's entertaining, all over the place, with loads of wonderful magic & mayhem.
M3NTAL MAGIC - He's like McGyver putting tricky magic together, a lot of it very clever and always so simply done.
KammMagic - Just the consummate closeup man, as good as anyone with a deck of cards, and coins too. Marvelous worker!
FernandoP1 - Just so darn artistic in his approach to magic. It's just beautiful to watch him work.
malone1 - Very clever closeup magician, with tons of ideas and creations. He should put out a DVD of his fine works.
SankeyMagic - Love his zaniness as to magic, but behind it is a very clever and capable magician on so many levels...A great one!
Coin Magic Underground - Love what this guy has done with his presentations of himself and others. He showcases the magical underground, loads good stuff down there. Thanks, Tyler Rabbit.
Sean Goodman - Love his work from across the pond or right up here as simplymagicweb...A real working pro that is not only a stellar closeup man, but can really the rock the coins as well while creating good magic for all. His presentations are tutelages in how you gitter-done out there in the real world.
Card Tricks - "Andy Field Magic" is just clever stuff and I really like the way he delivers it, and I think you will too. Nice stuff to break up all the coin work.
There are many more of there very talented up there delivering some wonderful magic experiences (and forgive me if I've missed you here), but these are a few of the ones I've come across and just had to tip my hat to their sense of production, magic, willingness to share & help, amazing skills and great respect for the art. Please check out there pages up on YouTube, you'll be glad you did...And feel free to post some of your favorites that do this well.
A lot of different thoughts about YouTube, and all opinions are welcome here. Like I said, theres a lot of everything up there, good, bad & ugly as to the art, but like I said, there's quite a bit of good stuff up there too, to learn from, to enjoy and quite a bit of magic that we would probably not have seen as well from magi's we would most likely never have known of. With that, there seems to be a lot more good/good enough up there than bad.
