It is April. In celebration of this blogs one year existence, the whole month will be winner time. Only the coolest and best members of our elite circle of nerds will be featured.
Today: Eugene Burger!
If you love Santa Clause, you gotta love Eugene Burger. If you have not come across this deep, deep voice with a man attached to it, here is a brief glimpse:
His technical skill is moderate at best, nothing ground breaking. But his presentational skill is just awesome. I know a lot of other magicians who copy Eugene Burger exactly and fail. Kind of hard to copy a presentation that is so tailored to a specific man.
And why is that so? Because Eugene Burger actually thinks about presentation. And he does this on a level that is such much beyond most of us nerds. He wrote many books about it. The one book I suggest is "Mastering The Art Of Magic" by Eugene and published by Richard Kaufman. It is a really good read with quite a few interesting thoughts on the art of magic.
And by interesting thoughts, I really mean the deep shit man.
And people like him are rare in magic.
