Ho... ho... ho. Best time of year to get new magic! My dad is great in that I can hand him a list of any magical stuff I want for December 25th, he does his thing, and I'm happy :). What are YOU asking for, magically, this Christmas? My list is as follows: -Apocalypse, any volume, by...

Alright, here's the very first episode of Season Two of Westmount Magic... it also happens to be the best episode to date (in my personal opinion). I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC3eQzXAufw Michael Kras

OK, not magic, but it's still theatre. Drama class again... this time, however, we only had 45 minutes to prepare and stage our piece due to some unfortunate circumstances. This is a modified excerpt from Ted Tiller's melodramatic rendition of Bram Stoker's Dracula. I play the infamous Count...

Alright... we all know there are exposure websites out there... there's no way to stop it and not much we can do about it. Recently, thanks to a fortuitous Google search, I found my own marketed effect "The Destiny Effect" being openly discussed method-wise on an exposure-based forum. People...

Alright, so I'm in English Class... with nothing to do... and a camera. So what do I do? I try to be sneaky and film videos in class. So here's a quick, patterless performance of the knuckle-buster by Chris Kenner, In Ten City. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do1ZqTOrLio Michael Kras

Okay, so this isn't technically magic, but it IS theatre, which is just as relevant. Alright, here's the deal.. I just started in my Grade 11 Drama class... our first assignment was Theatre of the Absurd... we were assigned the piece "Come and Go" by Samuel Beckett and were required to, in...

Alright, since my first video kinda fell through, here's a second, much shorter video of my execution of The GOAT Change by Dan and Dave Buck. This is strictly a video of technique so please judge it as such. Thank you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu97qERLNos Michael Kras

Now that I've got your attention.... here's me doing a card trick :). Actually, I DO do a GOAT in the video... meaning, the neat and visual change by The Buck Twins. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA7yg-XcTso Michael Kras

Hey guys, Here's my performance of my effect "Destiny" on stage at Sorcerers Safari 2009... performed for none other than Mr. Aaron Fisher. I apologize for the occasional problems with audio. Comments, thoughts, etc. are amazingly appreciated as always...

LEGEND: A GHOST STORY BY STEVE FEARSON Effect: This is a new Animated Deck effect from Steve Fearson... a cased deck of cards eerily moves as the spectator touches it the entire time. This is all accompanied by the legend of famous Mexican gambler Pancho Diablo, who never lost and was accused...

This is my performance and personal presentation of an offbeat effect by Frank Simon, as published in Richard's Almanac Issue 23-24 (The July-August 1982 issue). Comments are appreciated! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoKKqPmAZvU Michael Kras

In this video, I perform a great effect with Coin Bags off Craig Petty's DVD, Attack Of The Bag. This is my handling of it. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olsyDN05ass&feature=channel_page Michael Kras

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nth2Y5vo5U&feature=related I have nothing else to say. Just watch the thing.

Here's my performance of a great effect by Caleb Wiles, which I believe was in turn inspired by a Harry Lorayne routine. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9guodIpYBDo&feature=email Michael

Here's my performance of a great visual Sandwich effect by Mr. Eric Jones. I'd love to hear your thoughts, comments, etc. Thank you for watching! (NOTE: This is the basic technique as it was presented on its first appearance in Reel Magic Magazine) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixfb-AdxbA...

Okay, so if you follow my video reviews of the True Astonishments DVDs, you'll know I was on the fence about The Big Tiny... I was enthusiastic about the idea itself, but didn't like it because, frankly, the effect makes little sense as presented. Finally, I sat down with the thing... and...

Michael Kras... Reuben Gazer... Magic... Pizza... what else could you possibly want? Join Michael and Reuben as they embark on a journey deep into the heart of the city, where they encounter a deceptive pizza place, a mean bus driver, and lots of goofy magic fun... they may even learn a few...

My good friend and incredible skilled card technician, Ben Train, created this sick effect and published it in the 2009 June issue of MAGIC Magazine. He fooled me with this months ago and I was kicking myself when I learned the method. This is my performance of it. Enjoy! Comments appreciated as...
