I almost didn't post this. When you work on a magic show for years, the last thing you want is to put it all online for free. People can watch everything, study it, figure out how it works... That scared me a lot. I recorded this show live at Cosmo's Magic Theater in Colorado Springs and I wasn't sure if I should upload it or just keep it on my computer. I kept making excuses. "What if people just take it apart?" "What if it's not the same on video?" "What if I regret this?" But then I thought about people who will never see me live. People who found me on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and wanted to see more. So I finally posted it. And something happened I didn't expect... People wrote me the nicest messages. A lot of people watched the whole 80 minutes without stopping. One moment really made me smile. I was hired to perform magic at a private event for Sirin company in Lithuania. And after the show, I was packing up, getting ready to leave. One guy from the audience walked up to me and said: "Hey, did Eduardo give Britney the 10 dollars back?" He was talking about a moment from my online show. A moment between two people in the audience - Eduardo and Britney. He had watched the video, remembered the whole thing, and then came to ask me about it in real life. lol. That's when it hit me that this show isn't just a video. It's something people carry with them. What's really cool is that magicians I respect reached out too. And I even got some really cool performance offers, just from people watching the video. I was so scared to share this. But it turns out... putting your full show out there doesn't make it less. It makes it reach more people. If you haven't seen it yet - it's my full live show filled with magic, mentalism, card throwing and an amazing audience. If you already watched - thank you!! 🙏
2 days ago I posted my full magic show… and honestly I had no idea if anyone would even watch it. Not many magicians upload full shows, for a lot of reasons. But I wanted to share this with you.. I know 4000 views might not sound like a lot when you compare it to comedy specials with millions of views... But when I really think about it - that’s 4000 people in a theatre. That’s a full audience. Actually… several full audiences. I’ve also received so many messages on Instagram from people saying how much they enjoyed the show. That means everything to me. Thank you so much for watching. I feel truly humbled and really happy you liked it ❤️
This is one of my first times trying a longer video (a 15 minute documentary style thing) Didn’t really know how it would go, but it just hit 30k views 😳 Feels pretty good for me! What do you think? https://youtu.be/RSQlcywoE28?si=mM8fk...
Today Facebook reminded me that 13 years ago I was doing magic on the streets of London. No stage, no lights… just me, some tricks, and a big dream that one day this could be my full time job.
I knew it was possible back then… I just didn’t know how. Now, it’s what I do for a living!!!
It’s insane to see how far you can come when you keep chasing what you believe in :)

A few years ago, I stepped onto the Fool Us stage with @RickSmithJr to attempt something that sounds impossible:
Fool Penn & Teller using card throwing!
Rick and I combined extreme card throwing, precision, and magic into one act… and somehow left Penn & Teller speechless on national television!
The full uncut performance from Penn & Teller: Fool Us is now on YouTube.

I uploaded my full magic show on YouTube without expecting much… and now it’s passed 22 000 views!!! 😱
I honestly didn’t expect so many of you to watch it, take the time to message me and leave such kind comments.
I received messages on Instagram, got some new performance opportunities and so much support. I’m super grateful for every single one of you.
It means a lot more than you probably think!
I’m really glad I decided to share this show.
Thank you for watching, for your time and for all the kind words.
I appreciate it more than I can put into words :)
