411: Luke Dancy In Front And Behind The Camera

Luke Dancy may not be a familiar name...for now. But that is about to change. Luke worked behind the scenes with Criss Angel for seven years as a consultant and helping direct through the camera for some of Criss' TV shows. Luke now works for Murphy's Magic Supplies and hosts a regular vlog that is posted on Murphy's YouTube channel and their Facebook page.

Luke hosted my "At The Table" lecture taping (which will be due out later this Fall) as well as those of many others.He has had a lifetime of experience as a professional magician and shares some of his stories with us on this week's podcast.

As a resident of Las Vegas, Luke Dancy knows all too well that it's a city of smoke and mirrors. It's a magical place that plays with people's perceptions on a daily basis. In this opener with a brilliant kicker, Luke shows just how much the city has rubbed off on him.

Timestamps for this week's podcast:

00:04:45 - Luke Dancy talks about his work with Murphy's Magic Supplies and his time with Criss Angel.

00:59:35 - Product Review: "Aiden" by Ryuhei Nakamuraor from SansMinds - a Sharpie Pen comes to life and inscribes a symbol/design on an index card. Pretty finicky and requires a lot of preparation and correct lightiing. Recommended for those who like this type of thing.

01:05:39 - Product Review: "Holely Change" from SansMinds - a visual card routine where the back of a signed card changes colors. Recommended for walk-around magic if you watch your handling.

01:10:46 - Product Review: "The Casino Con" by Steve Gore and Gregory Wilson from Steven G Presents - a three phase card routine using playing cards from Las Vegas casinos that have closed. Clever and recommended.
