Michael Vincent®️| A Tribute to Derek Dingle

Derek Dingle was a big hero of mine and one of the greatest sleight of hand close up magicians I have ever seen.
I hope you enjoy this tribute.
Thanks for watching♣️❤️♠️♦️

Can you imagine 18 year old Michael Vincent hanging out with these masters? Absolute prodigy.

[@normanzurich2781]

Clever, brilliant ❤ Love from Paris France 🇫🇷

[@davidcupps991]

Outstanding! A nice punch at the end.

[@happentodie8776]

Wow ..its lovely to hear stories about the masters ..guys whose work sits all around me in the form of books ...dingle is a hero of mine too like all the guys mentioned ..lovely video

[@majikmyst]

The Jubillees at Browns were magnificent events. The close up was a round robin with multiple locations and the the AAA talent moving from place to place. And Derek was a force a nature at that point.

Thank you so much for the nod, and the memories.I'm smiling so big my cheeks hurt! I spent many a night at Cobblestones watching learning from Derek. When I first met Derick I saw him do Marlo's "Princess Card." I was blown away, and he did the trick in jeans... A fact I didn't appreciate till much later. I was so impressed with the truck, I asked how Derek how he came up with it, and he told me it wasn't his. "It's in print. I found it in a magazine." And that's all he said. (Derek was an "old school" kind of mentor.) I NEVER ask any magician to tip, so I took that little bit of info and went off to see what I could find. I eventually found the trick in an old New Tops Magazine. I learned and eventually showed it to Derek, and he was kind enough to critique me and give me a few tips. In hindsight, what a gift he gave me. Imagine what I read, what I discovered looking for that one trick. Memories!

[@MichaelVincentMagic]

So great to hear from you DV. Thanks for sharing. The New Tops is full of Marlo classics.

[@Trickboy36]

It’s funny. I had a few mentors like that too. Exact same scenario. They would simply tell me who the tricks originator was. After that it was up to me to pursue the source. It definitely made a difference when I had to put some “sweat equity” as it were, into the process.

[@MichaelVincentMagic]

All of my Mentors kept me busy. They expected me to go and find the answers

[@w1q2e3r4t5]

The whole trick was great, but the ending was on another level. That was awesome.

[@Joeschroederdailypay]

In 1978 I was 18 I used to cut school And drive to Derek’s house for lessons $25 for 90 Minutes I mastered his quick 3 way, not much else. It was so difficult. I took Maybe 6-8 lessons I’m guessing. In 1982 he caught me doing street magic in Times Square he charged me $20 to learn the $10 into a $1 using a TT. He handling was sheer genius. I used to pay Jeff McBride $25 an hour in 1977 at his 52nd street place. I spent 2 years on the street with street legend Jim Cellini then 85 to 86 studying over 100 hours with Rocco. The confidence and CHARISMA these legends all possessed was deafening. Rocco practiced non stop and dud his act in his house 20-30 xs a day. Then he was FISM, I think it was 86. You tube search Jim Cellini street magic cups and balls. These guys were all on a different planet. In numerous ways. McBride in 77 in Saturday’s, used to stand in the hallway of tannens, in NYC, and do split fan productions The card effects I SEE HERE IN THESE VINCENT videos are as good as it gets.

Words can not describe how beautiful this piece of card magic is. As a magician it's really hard and rare for me to feel surprised but card work that you publish here makes me feel this way over and over again. Thank you for that! 👏

[@jjiacobucci]

Wow !

[@TheTrashball]

I have bought Royal Road and Card Collage a while ago. They have been gathering dust. I have been watching a lot of magic centric channels over the years, but never felt the proper urge to start. Your talk of watching a Master, followed by that performance, has finally lit the spark again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

[@howdoyousleepatnight8126]

I've been trying to find this one for a while. Paid closer attention this time. Truly a work of art.

[@tww2002]

Terrific.

[@lwmarkgraal]

Holy fuck that was beautiful

[@stevejaffe9543]

I felt in similar manner when I saw Derek do Color Triumphant on Tannen Stars of Magic video (then quickly sought out his books). I still perform it. ..... I noticed your handling final reveal(s) & color change is different than on SoM. I like it. My thought on Derek’s magic: most sleight tricks I was learning at the time were constructed with a procedure of 1-2 sleights with patter. Derek was misrepresenting from the start on this and most of his magic. From his way of introducing the deck all the way to showing the reveal and color change was 100% deception, start to finish. I had to do that too. Thanks for sharing!

[@glenguldbeckmusic3410]

Bravo Michael!! So many great routines in the DD Complete Works. One of my favorites is his handling and presentation for Gypsy Curse. Keep regaling us with your stories Michael!!! And thank you...

[@rickblevins1589]

I love the Derek stories❤️ What a beautiful routine!❤️

[@Zombecz]

Good old Derek Dingle! How nice it's of you Micheal to make a tribute video about his magic! He was a hero for us all I guess!

[@vedder10]

No I’m sorry that’s not magic that is incredibly scary. My jaw just dropped. This was just wrong. I’m looking at this as the first thing I’m seeing on a Monday morning before work and I just know there’s nothing I’m going to see for the rest of the day that’s as spectacular as this. Thank you for starting my day off right. Who needs coffee when this display of sorcery can have twice the effects of caffeine.

[@chrisgillanders111]

So great to see Alan in photo, not many to be found now. As you were, I was frequenting his shop from 1979. 🙂

[@NupeAtl]

Ohhh how I look forward to this one.

[@robertorgeron2559]

Mr Vincent. Miss u buddyyy.. luvv ur magicc brathe...1 luvv. Alwysz God bless standfast stay humble One Love my friend

[@Trickboy36]

It’s beautiful Michael. I have very fond memories of learning color triumphant from the book you mentioned. I like your version as you end clean. The original required some minor cleanup as I recall.

[@urbanstylecaptures8716]

I like the all-backs Derrick Dingle trick as well. It’s a subtle piece of magic, but I just like the different idea that all the cards can suddenly become all-backed and then return to a flourishing deck again. The routine might be considered aged now, but the Ideas was one of my favorites.

[@chicodecoster]

That was beautiful Michael. I love hearing about your journey through Magic and the knowledge you gained from various magicians that you spent time with. Thanks you for sharing.

[@it5617]

Absolutely amazing!!!

[@endurorider974]

What!?!? I didn't expect that ending!! This is amazing!

[@xXDeltaXxwhotookit]

Beautifully performed as always

[@DonovanWert]

Fabulous handling!! Thanks 🙏

[@cjrmystic]

7 years ago, Dingle’s Deceptions was handed down to me and when I skimmed through it and saw the illustration for the end of Open Sesame I got scared, put the book away, and rarely touched it. Your instagram post inspired me to read it again. Thanks. I like your touches for color triumphant. Today I get to try to learn the DD color changing aces.

[@blessedyouth]

Excellent

[@javidzcool]

I love these daily videos Michael! Keep it up 🤙🏼

[@billgreen3138]

very cool mr vincent pal be safe in Christ

[@vusalmammadov1161]

I wanna have the same passion to my work that you have for the magic

[@snorgonofborkkad]

I wan't to have passion for anything the way he does for magic.

[@Haywire5714]

so you only have 3 blue cards and the rest are red, and throughout the trick you do sleight of hand to show us the backs of the 3 blue cards at all times until the end? If that's how it works thats so cool.

[@snorgonofborkkad]

My mind is blown. The card trick was misdirection the whole time. The real trick was the fact that he was doing it all with a red deck. Pure genius.

[@terrythacker9381]

Hey Michael! What is the name of that trick?

[@MichaelVincentMagic]

Colour Triumphant

[@terrythacker9381]

@@MichaelVincentMagic Thank you! I enjoy your videos!
