In this special ‘birthday’ episode, Jacob and I reflect on our magic journey so far…
Highlights include:
The No.1 most criminally underrated magic channel on YouTube (that I guarantee will fool the socks off you)
How being ‘lazy’ helped me unlock some of magic’s best secrets (this won't work for everyone, granted, but it certainly did for me)
What you should never do when using a marked deck.
The one thing you should do every day to be successful in magic (and life.)
The long-distance running secret that drives my creative process.

In this episode, I talk about the big problem I have with Triumph...
Also discussed:
Why Triumph is one of the greatest routines in magic (this might sound odd given I have a huge problem with it, but hear me out and you’ll understand why both are the case.)
The strange similarity between Triumph and Frodo Baggins.
Why Dani DaOrtiz’ ‘Open Triumph’ is the greatest version ever...or not, I don’t care (if you get it...you get it.)
A tip by Darwin Ortiz that shapes the way I view magic (about fruit, of all things.)

Welcome to the very first episode of 'Of Sleights and Men!'
In this episode, Jacob and I decided to introduce ourselves by getting deep into some of our magic ‘horror stories’, including…
The ‘EXTRA bold’ bold book test that I insisted on performing (despite screwing up nearly every time)
Why Jacob used to harass grandmas (no excuse for this one, all we can do is apologize)
The weird ‘T Rex’ pose that scuppered my ‘which hand’ routine
Our ‘unethical’ performance that went a little bit TOO well
How I ruined my reputation at school with a ‘card to impossible location’ that left me scarred for years to come (I’ve never shared this anywhere else before)
