Some inspiration for those who think outside the box

[Ben Long]

I stumbled upon this a little while ago. Can't stop looking at this stuff. Some amazing thinking going on here. Makes me really just want to create something amazing myself.

ALSO: If you ever have trouble becoming inspired, I urge you to get "stumbleupon." So many cool things and ideas.

That are really cool, thanks for sharing!
I liked the M&M ones, don't know why but they were cool

 

[Ben Long]

I thought the whole "shattered" series was really good.

What I really think is great about it is the fact that the person thinks of something new every day. It's something I try to do myself in magic. To think of at least one idea for a sleight, trick, flourish, or presentation per day.

That's really awesome. Lots of bizarre pics but it has got me thinking about how I could apply it to magic. Loved the "shattered" stuff.

I know, right? It's a pretty convincing illusion. Gave me a good idea for an effect.

I could totally see that.

"Select a card"

*3 of diamonds*

"Check it out. That's a solid piece of paper right?"

*nods*

'A lot of people don't know that you can actually break playing cards. I'll show you what I mean."

*Magician throws card at table*
*Shatters*

Spectator: "WTF!?"

hahaha awesomeness

I'm actually working on something just like that right now, only a little less visual. In one of the David Blaine specials, there's a trick where he actually does drop a card and it shatters.
