Technolusionist Marco Tempest

Known as the Virtual Magician, the Swiss-born Marco Tempest has become well-known by posting a number of his PhoneCam Magic tricks on YouTube. These tricks are done with a camera phone and they're all WYSIWYG -- no edits or post-production of any kind is done.

He's been seen a lot in Europe and Japan, and is becoming well-known in the U.S.

You can see all his YouTube videos at http://www.youtube.com/virtualmagician.

You can also find Marco on the web at http://www.newmagic.com and at http://www.virtualmagician.com.

Here is one his PhoneCam tricks that made it onto the Jay Leno show:

  3. Having Dedwarmo around kinda spoils magic, because he knows the tricks.

  6. He actually posted an Umbrella Trick Exposed video, but I'm sure you figured it out before that ;-)

    If you've figured out some of his other tricks, let me know. Micah and I always try to figure them out (Micah is actually very good at it).

  7. I've only watched the one umbrella trick video. Now I want to go watch the Umbrella Trick Exposed video.

  8. We (my dad and I) figured out the umbrella pretty easily too and a few others, but some of them are amazing, like the one I posted on my blog. (http://micahmo.blogspot.com/2006/11/marco-tempest.html)
