Yeah, Marco TEmpest is really cool. I really like his tricks.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. It's been a long time since a magician has baffled me.
ReplyDeleteHaving Dedwarmo around kinda spoils magic, because he knows the tricks.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, but he won't give anything away unless you ask, right?
ReplyDeleteI know how he does the umbrella trick. ;)
ReplyDeleteHe actually posted an Umbrella Trick Exposed video, but I'm sure you figured it out before that ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf 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).
I've only watched the one umbrella trick video. Now I want to go watch the Umbrella Trick Exposed video.
ReplyDeleteWe (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)
