Simon Winthrop Magician

PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!
Magicians are cool. They make you pick a card out of a deck and then they guess it. Yeah! But then there is Simon Winthrop because not only does he make you pick a card out of a deck, he asks you to pick your favorite vegetable and then he goes to Google and pulls up a video that shows him picking your card and your favorite vegetable. What? This is just insane.
I really do not want to reveal too many of his tricks but I was stunned and shocked for a good part of the evening. I attended a private party hosted by GTech at the Hard Rock Hotel in the Real World Suite in Las Vegas. The party was fun but Simon added an element that I have never seen before. He made everyone believe in magic. I loved that he would amaze the crowd with his close up magic and then as everyone stood there with shock on there face, he would just walk away. It was such a strong move. He did not have to listen to the crowd say, «Simon how did you do that?» Instead, I had to listen to the group come up with ideas on how he did it. One person was so freaked out, after Simon was able to name a guy’s mother, wife and kid… that he believes that Simon could stop time and freeze us and then go through your personal items. That theory seemed far fetched but it could explain some of the crazy things that I saw that night.
I do think that Simon can read people. He never chose me to do a trick. He would always look at me and he would then choose someone else. I would like to think he had a hard time reading my Sicilian Poker Face. It was best that he not take a chance on me… I am a dark horse when it comes to this stuff. Plus in the beginning I was not a believer but the more tricks Simon did… the more I started to believe in Magic.
I would highly recommend Simon for a corporate party because his tricks will amaze your guests or clients. It will set your party coolness level way past cool. In fact, I am trying to figure out how do I get Simon to Chicago for my wives up coming birthday party!
Okay I can not resist I have to share one more trick… I am so sorry Simon but this one amazed our group. We were in a circle and Simon took my buddy Gary’s wedding ring. He squeezed it in his hands and when he opened his hands the ring was gone. That was cool but when Simon pulled out a laser pointer to reveal that the ring was now tied on to a wall sconce located 5 feet behind me was totally freaky. What? How did he get past me to tie it up there? Why did it take Gary 3 minutes to get it untied from the sconce. Yes this was amazing and we still have no idea how he did it but that is the beauty of magic. It is all an illusion… as Doug Henning would say!
