Thank you, Mr. Conn for this great site of yours! I'm 59 and a retired nurse and disabled veteran. Your channel always picks me up. Thank you sir!!

[@nickroberts-xf7oq]

I like your retention of vision vanishes with sponge balls. 😮

[@franktougas3830]

I wish I had the opportunity to watch this live I think you're helping new people get into magic is fantastic and I love the way you package and market quality magic instead of slum magic like so often happens so I give you great kudos and I hope to see you again I love watching your stuff

[@DougConn]

Hey Frank & thanks for the positivity. Yes, I'm trying to give folks the best chance they can to enjoy magic. Kind words = appreciated

[@Szlater]

I’ve had that Mark Wilson book, amongst others, for years after a recommendation from a friend. Apparently, you can’t learn magic from it if it just sits on your shelf…After seeing quite a few of your videos, and because of your high praise, I’ve decided to get it down and read it.

[@DougConn]

Love to hear this!! Note: several of the routines I performed today are right out of that book!

[@MichaelLawrenceMagic]

Check out the torn and restored napkin, it's one of my favorites

[@Szlater]

@@MichaelLawrenceMagic thanks!

[@markusdeminger6258]

I love this book it is great because it provides beginner suited tricks from very different fields of magic. Moreover the method of teaching with pictures with only little comments to emphasis the details is great. Since English is not my first language I appreciate this even more. Great cups and balls routine amazing easy coin and money tricks. Just browse through the book and pick what you are looking for.Reading magic books from beginning to end hardly was a help for me. Most of the time things get frustrating rather quick when the book is not a step by step guide or at least builds up but rather comes across as a summery of different tricks.

I was a member of the Mahatma Magic Circle in Liverpool back in the 60s. At the grand old age of 71 living in the US, I decided to pick up the hobby again and entertain the grandkids. Heading over to your site. Great video!

[@VicDiniMagic]

Miracles aren't free! Love it when you said that. lol. Great review of the decks

[@DougConn]

I try to keep it real! 🙏🪄

[@andrecombrinck1454]

That was a fantastic video. And I agree will all of it. Those are all excellent tricks and you can't go wrong with Mark Wilson.

Happy to help!

Great stuff Douglas ! 🎉

[@thecosmicbackyard1857]

Great stream. Thanks for the display of some beginner magic

[@edd4310]

Had to replay 12:17 for about 20 times at 0.25x speed to finally have a clue of how those cards may work. Still can't explain how you do it tho'. You are an absolute master.

[@chriscary8048]

Love this. Not like, love.

[@jefffisher1297]

Vernon's "Tale of the Treasury Worm" only he used a false finger, for the silk and bill effect you did😉

[@AhatiMaat]

Marc Wilson is the first book I read and used to preform magic. Nice that you advertised it too as a recommended beginner reference.

[@scottclark2298]

Love the video, it brought back great memories. No Hot Rod? It was the first trick i bought from the Bob Hutchings Magic Shop in Jacksonville, FL in 1972. Then the Spiked Coin lol. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@DougConn]

Was hard to pick just 10 but yes, hot rod is in the ballpark! 🪄🤙

Well Done 👍

Hey Doug! Fantastic content, as always! I really want to buy the Triple Threat from your store but apparently you don't ship worlwide (I'm from Spain), any chance I can somehow get them?

Due to the coat of international postage, I handle these orders on a case by case basis (usually shipping fir the triple threat runs about $20) please email me for more info [e-mail]

Just seen a gaff deck trick called Phil Plus "Outdone" by Trevor Duffy....I'd never even heard of it before but what an effect! It's a beaut imho. Just wondering if you're familiar with it and what do you think of it.

[@DougConn]

I carry the Blank version at Connjure.com Great trick! connjure.com/product/blank-phil-deck/

[@TheChristianMagician0116]

I am busking my first event on the first weekend of October. I am hoping I can start sooner with just regularly busking though. Other than that, this was a really cool stream; and I am really hoping I can get the Stripper deck soon. See y'all Wednesday at 4:00!

[@DougConn]

Always nice to see ya in the stream! Thanks for hanging out Matheu! LOVE hearing that street performing is one of your goals

[@TheChristianMagician0116]

@@DougConn Thanks. I'm super nervous for the event. Since it will most likely be my first time busking. Could you maybe touch on the subject a little bit of when a spectator tries to, or does expose? Not just for me to understand what to do. But for others too.

Same! I used to buy mine from Haines house of cards :(

When showing these tricks do you put them in an ordinary box?

I had to slow it down to 0.25 - 0.5x speed just to see some of the sleight of hand. You sound very intoxicated 😆 there's still some tricks you do I can't figure out how you do it

[@DougConn]

VERY Intoxicated? Well, it is a Saturday afternoon... I might be a lil guilty of that ;) *(but just a lil) It's more likely the toothache I had today causing me speech issues... but the show goes on either way!

[@sykoslim8851]

@@DougConn 😄 It's only because I changed the playback speed to 0.25 & 0.5 speed to try to see your sleight of hand. Even at ¼ speed I can't figure out some of your tricks. You're too good
