About 9 or 10 years ago David Williamson was lecturing at a convention here in London. The organisers surprised him on stage by tracking down & bringing out, the now adult, 'trick ruining' Murray. It was one of the greatest moments in magic.

David Williamson is such a treasure. Fun bit of trivia: the reason he does a 2-cup routine (instead of 3) is that he used to do the full 3-cups....but someone once stole one of his cups backstage before he did his act and he had to improvise. And he's kept the 2-cup version ever since. Great performer and, by all accounts, a heck of a human being. :)

Thank you for this. I love that you're highlighting the great magicians of our time that, while popular among magicians, unfortunately don't have as much popularity as "The Big Ones" for those of us who hang out on the fringe of the art. Also, while I love your puzzle content, I'm super happy to see you putting some magic stuff back out there. Great content!

@@sangjester19832 I don't doubt that at all. And that's what I love about seeing magicians like this. These are the ones who lay the groundwork for so many others. But, unfortunately, I wouldn't know about these guys without videos like this. Yes I know about the really old school guys from books (Vernon, Bobo...) But guys like David Williamson have somehow gotten lost in the mix between the old and new (at least for me.)

Had the privilege of going for beers with David several years back. I learnt a lot of basic sleights from watching his vids, so was already quite a hero of mine. Turned out he was a top bloke too, which is always a bonus. Liked his use of 'smoke gets in your eyes' during that ciggy trick too.

To be able to do what he's doing in that intro bit is so special. He's creating complete chaos, speaking quickly (for various reasons- humor, character, misdirection, etc.), moving quickly, and yet he's able to make sure the audience is still completely coming along with him on that whole ride. Theyre getting whiplash following him and it works perfectly. I could watch him all day just watching his techniques and performance style. When he had that kid blow on that guy's forehead- that had me rolling!

I had the honor of meeting him many years ago when he came to Albuquerque and was hanging out at a local magic shop. At that time I had no idea who he was. Became an instant fan. He did his top change for me several times while breaking it down and I still couldn't see it. He is a master of his craft and a genuinely great guy.

Dave Williamson is really the funnist magician. I love his routines. I'm learning "Funner Color Stunner". I also really like his "Memory Test" which is great fun to perform. It's great the way he incorporates humor with telling a story and involving the participant. I think that's the best recipe for a great and fun card trick. I've busted a gut watching his performances.

Little boy reminded me of my like 10th bday I went on stage and the magician was doing linking rings. He asked me to inspect one and asked if I saw any holes or anything and so I said yes. He asked me where and I pointed directly through the ring. Then after the show he found me outside to shake my hand and I got him with one of those wind up hand buzzers. I miss being a child

The first clips and the "Murray" clip were from an English show (I forget the name). I used to record it from the TV on the VCR and watch it over trying to the the method. As a very young boy I watched him do "Looney Man's..." so many times the video snowed out at that point, I completely wore it out. I never did learn it from all the watches but came up with some insane alternatives. David Williamson started my love affair with magic that still lives 40 years later.
