Performing for Johnny Thompson

[James Wise Magic]

So last night I had the honor of meeting the amazing Johnny Thompson at my friend's house and seeing him perform some of the best magic I had ever seen! This guy was incredible. His passes were virtually invisible and his bottom deals were the best I had ever seen. He must have shown me at least 15 effects and every single one of them I was fooled. He even was so kind enough to teach us several of the effects. After wards Johnny surprised me and handed his deck of cards to me and asked me to perform something for him. I was deeply intimidated seeing as this guy has 40+ years more of experience on me!
But I got the performances on camera, I was nervous so my performance wasn't all that great nor was my handling but here's the video, I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think!

I know how magicians hate it after someone ruin their card ... so i wouldn't mind getting that of that signed card for you ... i would kill for it

Johnny is an amazing guy! He has been incredibly generous with his time in talking to me, helping me to contact other and in just being there when I had a question. He is indeed a treasure and I encourage you all to take advantage of it!
