But this is not just any piece of magic. In fact, it is a very special piece of magic for me. In 2010, I watched a magician named Scott Alexander perform it on a cruise ship. Here's a photo of him with the effect. I loved it so much that it was what inspired me to want to return to magic later in life after having given up on it as a teenager. Amazingly, years after seeing Scott perform it, I met him at Denny and Lee Magic Studio in Baltimore, Maryland. Scott became my mentor and friend, and he even taught me the effect which you'll see in this video. I also had the privilege of performing on stage alongside Scott five times in 2021 and 2022.
Sadly, Scott passed away earlier this year at the young age of 52. May he rest in peace as he performs magic for the angels in Heaven!
Peace - and enjoy this very fine illusion! Oh, be sure to watch for the reaction of the lady on the left at the very end of the effect! It is priceless!
