The Magic of Dreaming Bigger

“They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their grey visions, they obtain glimpses of eternity.”
— Edgar Allan Poe

Greetings Magical Friends!

The China Tower Vanish Project is a giant illusion from a recent Chinese TV show. You may remember that our McBride Magic Team was commissioned to create the opening segment for one of China’s largest TV shows earlier this year.  It was one of the largest scale magic illusions ever presented!  Now you can see the result here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY53qgqTd5M.

I just showed the video to Franz Harary, who was a huge help with the project. He said, “Jeff, I’m honestly proud to be your friend, and now… your associate. Whatever I can ever do to help you, just let me know.”  What a great friend, designer and gentleman Franz is!  We are very happy to be collaborating on projects with him!

Dream Big!

This is the time of year to dream big.  The new year is coming, and we have a clean slate of possibilities ahead of us.  My job as a magician is to remind you that anything you dream up can come true.  Eugene Burger is a wonderful wizard.  I’ve been deeply inspired by one of the things he said years ago; “Get bigger dreams.”  Yes, it is true, people often dream little dreams, or have no dreams at all.  Being a magician is more than just being a dreamer, it is about making those dreams a reality.  One of the techniques that I have learned is to focus on putting my energy into one major goal at a time.
