Sharing at a Magic Jam

A few weeks ago when Meadow Perry was in town, we met up with some Seattle magicians and had a little magic jam.

One of the things that surprised me was that Meadow mentioned that she’s never been to a magic jam were people shared as much as we did. The group in Seattle that I meet up with, we’re good about sharing or teaching magic tricks with each other.

While I totally understand not teaching everything, the magic jams I prefer are where we help each other, not where we just try to one up each other.

Magic in Seattle

Last week I took the train into Seattle, and I haven’t ridden an Amtrak train in about 30 years! It was great and way better than driving as I could read and practice a card trick I was working on!

I was up in Seattle for lunch with my family, but then I had a little bit of a magic jam while I was in town. The first wave had Chris Beason and Johnathan Friedman!

When Johnathan had to go, he was shortly replaced by Clive Hayward!

It was a blast having some laughs with them and messing around with some magic!

On my way back to the train I walked by the old location of the Mickey Hades Seattle Magic Shop!

When I was a teenager Mickey Hades taught me how to back palm produce single cards the old way where you bring the whole block to the front pull one card off, then put the whole block back behind your hand! That’s also where I inadvertently saw Michael Starr do a one handed top palm and reverse engineered the mechanics of it on the bus ride home!

It was a fun trip up to Seattle!

Seattle Magic Jam – June 2024

A few weeks ago I organized a magic jam in Seattle and it was a blast! There were a ton of familiar faces and a few new ones. One of the great things about these is that is reminds me of why I got into magic, it’s FUN! A bunch of grown ups can spend the evening playing like children and it’s OK because we’re working!

Here’s some of the highlights of the Magic Jam:
