Here is a view of the people on the side of the stage! They are going nuts!

How lovely! Congratulations, Mark. (And only Mark Lewis can get a standing ovation going down the stairs.) We all get to say that we knew you when. I just discovered yesterday why I got a standing ovation going down the stairs! I had a closer look at the video. Misdirection! While everyone was watc...

Not that I am one to boast of course.............

For some reason muscle reading and hellstromism is quite common among Russian mentalists. Of course the most famous one of all was Wolf Messing if anyone wishes to look him up. I actually own his biography written by Tatiana Lungen.

I keep getting a psychic vibe of the expression "who cares?" Maybe some fraction of the current readership? Please don't tell us you got into magic or "tarot reading" to meet girls/women (or guys). Actually, that would be fine and understandable if you did. Maybe just a generati...

There is a Harry Lorayne trick I have been doing for years. I do not use the four burglars presentation but there is nothing to stop me if I wanted to. It actually IS the four burglars trick in disguise but nobody seems to have noticed! In fact I have been tempted to use the four burglars presentati...

"Quirky 79-year-old, Mark Lewis, performs a card trick that captivates audience and judges, earning him the group Golden Buzzer!" https://youtu.be/Id4703fH33o?si=btvtBDdBH4t7fKKu As a result of that television appearance I am expecting more television work in the future. At some point I w...

I came across this review on the internet. The first little paragraph gives a clue to my own personal philosophy regarding magic which is to let them underestimate you and then you go in for the kill! I find that far better than starting off all slick and professional! Not for everyone of course but...

CGT also asked me what I was going to do with the money. This was my response:

I actually met him once many years ago. I was strolling through Harbourfront in Toronto and bumped into Tom Ransom who was sitting with him. I spent the afternoon with them. He never did a card trick once! Or even referred to card magic!

Oddly enough I have just seen something intriguing in the comment section of that video. The last comment was written in Hebrew which I do not speak or understand. I was about to ignore it but on a whim decided to google translate it and was startled to find it was from a relative I have never met a...

I am married to magic.

Amazing! Congratulations, Mark. Three things: 1. Use some of the dough to buy a pair of hearing aids. 2. Take a nice vacation with your wife. 3. Bank the rest of the money. I have a hearing aid. The way it works is I put my hand behind my ear and say "Pardon?". It always works, requires n...

Yes. I did find it somewhat humbling that they did not trust me to walk down the stairs without killing myself. Same thing with AGT. They insisted on helping me down. This time I was determined to do it by myself. They have all these really dangerous acts but they didn't think I could go down 7 step...

I was amused to see that the above video is now a TV commercial! I never noticed it until today! Anyway the show is about to start in 15 minutes !

Tarotist

If you live in Canada you will have the great privilege of seeing me perform on this show tonight. I believe there is another magician on too. City TV from 8pm to 9m is when the show is aired in Toronto. I am not sure about the times in other parts of Canada. If you live elsewhere I think you might ...

OK. I promise not to do anything technologically produced.

I will be seen on Canada's Got Talent on Tuesday evening on City TV in Ontario. As for other parts of Canada I really am not sure when it is going to be aired. I do realise non Canadians won't be able to view it on television but there will no doubt be video links to the performance on Facebook, You...

Tarotist

It is astonishing stuff but perhaps not too practical in the sense that there are very few venues where you can do that kind of thing. Great for TV but I don't really know where else you can do it.

I have found the French magician!

I did the svengali deck on AGT to no avail. I thought I had better do something else this time!
I did notice that CGT has indeed a tiny few non Canadian acts. A rather good French magician was on last night. I forget his name but then I am getting old.

I rather liked Bart Harding mainly on the grounds that he purchased and raved about my svengali routine. We did have some correspondence
many years ago.

Tarotist

I suppose it is slightly awkward until you get used to it. You need a bit of strength in your fingers when you do it. Don't use a stiff or a new deck.

Tarotist

It really is about time Richard learned how to fan a svengali deck. He has been emailing me for the details and I tried to explain but alas he still can't figure it out even after purchasing my most wondrous "The Long and the Short of It" book which can be obtained here: https://www.markle...

Here is my version of the egg bag and some other stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNaE-zYQm-g And here is my version for kid shows. It is done differently here of course. The video quality is absolutely dreadful but at least you can hear me. The video is from about 15 -20 years ago: https://ww...

One of the most memorable moments I ever had doing a show at a senior's residence was when I finished my show and I was quite startled by an old lady standing up to give a little speech. She said, "Mr Lewis, I want to thank you for coming here to show us your magic. If you look around at the st...

Furthermore the book has been translated into Korean for those of you who hail from that part of the world.

I have done many shows for seniors. However, it seems that you may be talking about close up magic and that is a different thing altogether. I imagine the best thing to do close up for that age group is something visual so they don't have to think too much. For stand up shows I think the ideal is to...

I have made a three trick sequence out of this finishing with the Daley trick. My audiences seem to like it. I have found the effect is stronger when you make a little routine out of it.

What part did either of you miss when I said he was doing a feint? So, okay, fine. That's what David was doing versus actually doing the French Drop. I said he wasn't doing a French Drop, except as a feint. Shall I say it again??? Here he is doing it, or not doing it, nearly at the end. https://www...
