My proof GOD is real

2 days ago I was doing a G-Force experiment when I smacked the fan and a giant piece of glass fell on my head. But luck (more like GOD) was with me. The button on my hat shattered the glass and I escaped unscathed

Review of bad things this year:

I Nearly sett the house on fire SAVED
I nearly seriously harmed myself (With the glass) SAVED
I got sick from JAN-MAY NOT SAVED
I flooded the bathroom in a H2O experiment SAVED
Got hit in the head in a G-Force experiment SAVED
This is my proof that GOD is real (I Ain't dead) (YET)

(Take THAT! Unbelievers)

The Bible Magic & Me

I now believe that I need to spread the word of GOD (G/D, YHWH, CHRIST THE SON OF GOD, JESUS, THE HOLY GHOST). So recently I've been studying how to turn water to wine. And now I've learned to change water to Gatorade, lemonade. But I think it's not enough. I've decided to memorize this passage in the BIBLE.

John 2:1-11
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,

2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

4 "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."

5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.^[a]

7 Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."They did so,

9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

11 This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

Mr Heatmiser

This is one of my favorite songs.

ImpossiCode

Many many years ago I joined up with an communications specialist, and we created our own code. Now I bet you can't figure it out, but give it a try.

Here is a word using ImpossiCode:

45241/ 54654: 54654$ 65= 55= 5%^ 56!@

Heaven at a pizza shop

Yesterday I was at the pizza shop when I saw a very young girl. She must have been about 6 years old, and I did the perfect linking rings routine for her.

Now I LOVE working for young people. Not too young or they can't understand me. Not too old or the magic in them is gone (like "Why does the sun rise? is it levitating?")

So (in a way) I found heaven in a pizza shop.

From My Noodle

from my noodle is my mom's blog. Oh and if you found the website because mom recommended it (Yes I read my mom's blog) this is repayment. Be sure to check it out.

Review: Healed and Sealed Soda 2.0

Today I am going to review Healed and Sealed Soda 2.0

In a word "impressive." At first you may be disappointed to learn that it's a not a gimmick (no pumps/magnets/etc.) and it may take a few hours to get right. I don't recommend it for a beginner, but it does work very well. I've fooled several people and it only takes a few minutes to set up. The proper equipment can be found almost anywhere so I would recommend it for intermediate to advanced magicians. Anders Moden did a good job making healed and sealed 2.0. so this reviews test

Genii

Genii magazine is a famous magic magazine I subscribe to. Luckily it didn't end up in my Chest (blog 3). They teach, tell about what is going on, advertise, review.... I could go on for hours. It's a worthwhile magazine, and I'm glad I subscribed.

The Chinese Linking Rings

Today I found one of my gimmicks that wasn't locked in my trunk (The Chest Part I And Part II). The Chinese linking rings. I experimented with them and I found out how to throw them together and twist them apart. I've shown only a few people today. When I go busking in a few years its going to be my first trick.

Let me introduce...

Blaze, the quiet one.....The only quiet one

















Brownie the hog: I think he's a pig in dogs clothing














Lucy the hunter: we have our own graveyard to bury over 10 birds she has caught (and killed)

The Chest (Part II)

Great work Mama Ziggy's happenings! Also thanks brendabear1980! When I looked under the coffee table I found 1 key and this clue.

Today we will learn The French Drop: Oui oui no no! This is not when the Eiffel tower falls down; it's when you do this easy vanish!

Take the coin in your left hand and hold it between your thumb index and middle finger.

audiences point of view

Now place the thumb of your right hand under the coin and pretend you take it. You are really going to drop it into the palm of your right hand.

your point of view

Now make the coin "vanish" by showing your now empty hand!

The Chest

I (for some reason) decided to lock my magic gimmicks in 3 chests and hide the keys. Now I wrote 3 clues to help me find them. Unfortunately I can't figure them out. So every day for 3 days I will type the clues here at www.theblogofamagician.blogspot.com. Here is the first clue.

If you can figure it out post the answer and why in the comments.

Brock Gill

Brock Gill is an christian illusionist I recently discovered. He is quite strange. On his blog there is a 16 second video of a monkey sniffing his finger and a video of him watching snow. You've been warned. But he is a good magician and that's all I care about. But he's also a christian and that counts as a bonus in my book.

For his website click here
