- I've been asked by a couple of you if there were any famous magicians who inspired me to become a magician. Well thats an easy question to answer. Brian Gillis by far was the magician I most closely related to. I liked his style, his personality and his super skilled simple direct sleight of hand magic. Thank you Brian.
Fred Savage, Jay Leno, Carson and a brilliant Magician who didn't get recognized as much as he should have :) GREAT VID
A great technique and sense of humour, too! Thanks for this, I've not heard of Brian Gillis before tonight!
I've seen him perform a few times at the Magic Castle. He's my favorite magician, too. Utterly amazing!
Fred Savage next to Jay Leno, looks like they're father and son together 😂
BRIAN GILLIS is simply the BEST!!
Unbelievable. Every sleight fits so naturally into the routine and right in front of their faces
Great work! Thanks for sharing! Did he write any books?
4:25 just blew my mind
Fantastic!
I have no idea but I'm guessing there's something doing when he moves the sweet and low cup away from Doc.
Very cool sir!
OMG THIS IS AWESOME!
What did the person say before Reno said Thanks a lot?
'how'd you do that???????" "how'd you do that?!?!??! you are the only one in the place who doesn;t know!" ROFLMAO >.
Great compilation -- thanks! Note the WAY he says the sentence at 5:04 -- it's a tell.
Only to a magician and a magician should already know.

I can see how inspires you actually
What would you do if i sang out of tune...
Classic ;O) ★★★★★
I'm here for the blond, didnt expect to find jay chin 0
is that a young jay leno sitting next to the kid?
Yes
That is funny, I don't remember him at all.
He just passed away a couple years ago. Great close up magician. One of my biggest inspirations.
@@kammagic I have had 2 strokes over the past 35 or so years and I don't remember him at all. I grew up in Chicago my dad and mom had a Vaudeville and night club magic act. Later he had several magic shops at different locations. My goal was to do good magic like Don Alan and good card work like Jack Pyle. Drop by my youtube if your interested in more about me.
was every old american tv show recorded with a potato?
Yep while other countries had HD cameras in the 70s.
I had never heard about Brian Gillis but after watching this video, he just became one of my favorite close-up performers ever. He handles coins and sponge balls such a manner that it just amazing. Thank you for sharing.
you picked a great inspiration. He used to appear at the Magic Lantern restaurant and grill in Knoxville. Saw him within inches, unbelievable. He took an empty box and made a steel nut appear that must have weighed 5 lbs right in front of us. Awesome talent.
If i get one euro for each pixel in this video, i would have gotten 1 euro **MakesProfit**
Dang Brian Gillis you are gifted ! & my mother's maiden name is Gillis, a nice classy name. Much like yourself !
Buddy Hackett was still trying to figure out where he was.
Amazing ! Thank you for this video as I didn't know this great magician existed before watching it.
Just recently watched him in the 2017 Documentary- Magicians with John Armstrong on Amazon Prime.
you even have a voice that sounds like him
@redmoves2 Dai Vernon is a great magician of which there are many.
He was indeed. But some magicians seem to want to turn some magicians into Legends.
do you consider Dai Vernon to be the father of close up magic?
No. I met Vernon he was a great magicians magician, and came up with a lot of very good magic and techniques. He was also a very nice person. Vernon was never really a successful performer for a lay audience. When he was doing lectures for magicians, Paul le Paul, Burt Allerton, Frank Garcia, just to name three were out doing shows and making a living doing close up magic.
Wow, that was some awesome magic!
very cool,glad you uploaded this.
RIP brain gillis
