Don't really watch many magic shows, but this, to me, was amazing.

I wouldn't guarantee that. Reminded me quite a bit of this guy…

 

And he has others, too:

Plus, @Vinsk, he won this: https://fism.org/championship-contests/world-championships-of-magic/.

You can read the rules here: https://fism.org/championship-contests/contest-rules/. Basically, if that was a computer trick, I don't think he'd have won. He won in the close-up category, and I don't think that would qualify if you had to edit the video on a computer.

Yes possibly completely true. I'm having my brother look at it. He used to go to the Magic Castle and is real big into all this stuff. He's met David Blaine, Penn&Teller, all those guys and has performed some good stuff with some of them.  I've also read where some artists are pretty good at 'bending' the rules with this kind of stuff. Probably not the case here. But thanks for the link.

Actually I just saw that Shin Lim won the FISM for Close-Up Magic in 2015. 🙂 They're only held every three years, so those are your last two champions.

Exactly! I once heard Penn (and Teller) describe close-up card magic as the hardest kind of magic to do. Went to a convention once where the organizers had hired a magician to walk around the floor and do magic for people. I watched that guy like a hawk, and could not spot a glitch in his routine! I love a good magic show!

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
