TV Tricks #43 – Sometimes I’m Original

TV Tricks #43 – Sometimes I’m Original

In this business, there are creators, performers and performer creators. Just like in the movie business, not a lot of good writers are good actors, it's the same in magic. This is not a apology, just a statement of fact.

I'm a performer. I don't create my tricks. I create my 'routines'. I put the various Lego bricks together to create (hopefully) and new take on an old idea.

This was the case here. Red Hot Mamma (or Chicago Opener) is a classic trick. I used to open my close-up shows with it and one day while cutting the grass - where I do most of my best thinking - I likely came up with this. I'm not sure if it's original to me (I doubt it), but I'll take the win until someone tells me differently.
