Eric Chien's world championship-winning magic tricks
Every three years, there is a world championshp for magicians. The judges are other magicians. Eric Chien, a close-up magic specialist, won it this year with his "Ribbon" demonstration. It's quite good:
There's an incredible amount of tricks packed into that routine, all strung together well, all similarly hard to believe. And to do them in close-up, where it's harder to pull off an illusion, is impressive. The man is good. Congratulations on a well-earned win, sir.
