Final stop of this tour, but central reason why I came to USA : The 4F Convention 50th anniversary. The guest of honor is Mark Mason, seated at the table.
It is also the first time the convention takes place without our regretted Chairman, and also my sponsor, Mr Obie O’Brien, who sadly passed away during the pandemic 🙏🏽🤍
I was asked to be part of the opening gala that took place last night.
This first picture, is me performing my Rubik’s Cube act in front of the best close-up magicians in the World. I’ve received incredible feedbacks. Many were fooled and that was way over my expectations, because it is there, at 4F, that I’ve learnt from the best cube magicians and creators in the world.
The second picture was taken at 4F 2018.
On this picture :
on the right, Usui Takamiz, the Godfather of modern Rubik’s Cube magic. We all stand on his shoulders.
On his left, Steven Brundage who was the first to present a Rubik’s cube act on and Penn & Teller Fool Us in 2016.
On his left, Henry Harrius and Aaron from his team. Henry is by far the most prolific creator of Rubik’s Cube magic. When Henry told me that my act was one of the best cube act he has ever seen it was unbelievable 😅
If you’ve never heard me talking about 4F, well…
The F.F.F.F (or 4F) is an invitation only convention. The most prestigious international distinction a professional close-up magician can receive.
4F is also a very private convention which takes place every year and brings together the 250 best close-up magicians around the World who where personally invited by his regretted chairman Obie O'brien.
This distinction is earned. I’ve received my invitation personally from Obie O’Brien himself when I won the French Championship in 2012 in Aix en Provence (last picture). I’ll never forget that day.
Obie, I dedicate my performance to you. RIP 🙏🏽🤍🔥
