“Many many years ago, in a sad faraway land there was an enormous mountain made of rough, black stone.
Every day at sunset, on top of the mountain, a magical rose blossomed every night. Its power? Whoever plucks it gains immortality.
But no one dared go near it because its thorns were poison.
Men of all sizes talked amongst themselves about their fear of death, of pain, but never about the promise of eternal life.
Ever day, the rose wilted unable to bequeath its gift to anyone.
Its blooms only a memory, forgotten and lost at the top of that cold, dark mountain, forever alone, until the end of time.”
This is an adaptation of a fairytale cited from the very artistic movie called, “Pan’s Labyrinth.” I find that I am being more and more influenced by folklore and myths, Grimm fairytales, and writings of my own.
In a recent video I was influenced by the story above to do this,

All the men are the kings, the three black cards are the mountains and the rose is the phoenix with the blue rose in the center.
It would be incredible to see with the broad range of backgrounds on this forum what some of you all can come up using a story and a simple trick.
I am not saying go.out.perform I am asking you all to sit and think about tales and stories that you have heard preferably passed down through tradition and convert them into a trick and then possibly film it and share it with the rest of the forum.
Now it doesn’t have to be poetic and dramatic that is just my character and style, it would just be very interesting to see your takes on the ancient form of story telling.
Have a go, there is a very helpful reward in the end of this for all the participants.
