Michael Vincent’s Blog: Pop Haydn Part 2
“WOW, what can I say about my very special guest Pop Haydn?
“It has been a great week leading up to this final installment of Pop’s Blog contribution. I have received many emails from my community expressing their delight at reading Pop’s thoughts and the impact it has had on them. In my opinion, Pop is one of the few magician’s left along with Darwin Ortiz who really understands magic as a craft and as a theatrical experience.
“Pop along with Darwin are two people in magic whose opinion about my work really matters to me. I ask you, “who do you turn to for advise and support for your magic”?Mentoring is a dying aspect of mastery in any craft. When I first met Pop at The Magic Castle in 2001, he “BLEW MY MIND” not just with his great magic – it was is attitude and approach to deception that turned me on. I hadn’t met anyone quite like him, not since my first meeting with Slydini in 1982. Here was someone that expanded my understanding of the psychological game we are playing with our audience.
“The time I have spent with Pop, have been truly wonderful and I have come away inspired to be a better magician. Pop once said to me, “You can perform the classics and make an audience enjoy it, you are a magician” This really inspired me and also our mutual love for Jean Hugads Royal Road to Card Magic particularly the last chapter on Stand-up Card Magic.
“Thank you Pop for a great contribution this week!”

If you missed Part 1–
I have been spending the last few days playing with my new Okito Coin Box. This is a wonderful piece made be craftsman Craig Ousterling.
Billy Baque has been staying with me the past few days, and he oversaw the machining of the piece which Craig does on a small lathe, and gifted me with this. Billy has been staying at my house the last few days, and he has been helping me design my routine for the box. Photos by Billy Baque.
I am very excited about the routine, and pleased beyond measure at this generous gift.
Craig Ousterling can be reached here:
These are videos of the new original routines which I first introduced at the Magic Castle in 2013. I am very proud and happy to have been nominated once again for Stage Magician of the Year.
I last won this award in 1979.

I have just released my routine for the 24″ Color-Changing Handkerchief. This is my newest favorite trick! I have had so much fun with it over the last year, and now I am making it available to magicians around the world. It is based on the routine taught to me by Roger Klaus, which was based on Dai Vernon’s routine. The handling had to be changed to accommodate the large silks.
Everything needed for the routine is included, along with a DVD explaining the props, setup, performance, and sleight of hand, and with two live performances of the routine at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.
So, for the magicians in my audience, you can find all the details and a video performance HERE at PopsMagic.com
