Here's the full video from what was posted to my IG...

Found some old VHS of my very first contest act...I'm 11, and this is at this yearly con that used to happen in Minnesota called Wizards Weekend. I got to go for one day the year before, and I learned about the young magician contest. I spent the next year coming up with this act all around cards and with the help of my dad and a lot of double stick tape ...like a lot... put it together and competed the next year and won 2nd place...that's also where I first met Suzanne, Peter White, his wife Cynthia and also Duane and Mary Laflin -- some very important and helpful people to me in various stages of my pursuance of this magic thing...
When the break-in at my warehouse happened a few years ago, the discolored, tarnished grey 2nd place medal with the age bleached S.A.M. "Wizards Weekend" logo flaking off of it that was stolen was the 2nd place medal I earned with this act, with this performance you're watching.
Sad to say Wizards Weekend vanished not long after this one but the 3 times (2 1/4 tbr) I was fortunate enough to attend the level of talent that was brought thru there that, pre-internet mind you, we attendees got to experience and learn from was amazing and the pros that came out of Minnesota that I got to co-attend these lectures and showcases etc were giants to me. Special times and memories I'm very thankful for.
Maybe I should post the full video of this...and perhaps others... "Dan Roasts Dan" - I can see it on a lunchbox now
