Hi guys!! I just wanted to ask if any of you have seen Guy Hollingworth. He is the best, absolute best magician with cards you will ever see. He has invented even his own miracles.
Is there anyone here in the US (or in the past) who can match or even come close to this man (I should say God!). I hope to meet him one day soon and this is just to shake his hands!! |

Yes. There are others as good as he is.

Do you think this is Guy himself?

If Guy uses words like "bestest," remind me to hang my head in shame for regarding him so highly!
ps - since posting this I see the original post has changed all refs to "bestest" to "best." |

Guy should be invited to be a guest of honor here. Now that would be a treat.

I am ashamed to say that I have been in magic for fourteen years, but I have yet to see any of Guy's effects. I assume I am missing out.
Who is John Galt?

Yes you are... get hold of a copy of Drawing Room Deceptions and enjoy!
I agree he should be guest of honour. (with the correct Queen's English spelling of course!) |

Heh heh....right the English spelling.
finance dragon...go to http://www.denisbehr.de and check out his videos of Reformation and Waving the Aces. Magic Pro Shop also has demo videos of his Routines video and London Collection. You will see him perform Waving the Aces and his ace assembly. All this is also found the now out of print Drawing Room Deceptions. |

The Great Guy Hollingworth sets the difference between card magic and card miracles. Of course, Guy is the latter one who gain such reputation.
I really want to travel to UK and witness his live performance. Does anyone know his performance schedule?
Most memorable moment - with Maestro Juan Tamariz & Consuelo Lorgia in FISM Busan 2018.

A-hem, a-hem... may I just say... this thread is absolutely rife with... a-hem, a-ha... how shall I say it... gosh... you know... in the fairest possible manner... indeed... splendid.
I saw Guy Hollingworth perform in London at John Lenehan's Monday Night Magic. He did talk like that. He also fooled me badly with his "card at any number". I chose the number, and there was the signed card. No extra jiggery-pokery. Bang. There it was. No way! (I have since learned how he did it, and I wish I hadn't!)

Well I must confess that I had always considered Guy as a great technician. I mean, he is a great magician, but I think that his effects are less magical than others out there.
For example, his routine of T&R card, "Reformation" is maybe the most difficult out there, but I don´t think the most magical. I think that routines like Daniel Garcia´s or Yves Duminguez´s are far better and magical, and more easy. But Guy prefers to do as difficult as possible. On the other hand, I must confess also that if we are talking about a magician who has the best sleights out there, and the most technician, I think there is a name higher than Guy. This name is Lennart Green. Well, at least, that´s my opinion. On the other hand, I love Guy´s work, I think he is one of the best out there, and maybe he must be in a world top ten cardicians. But not the best IMO. All the best magic, Pablo Tejero

Guy certianly is very talented and should be in the top ten. Reformation to me is extremely magical. It as visual a trick as you can get. I should look into the two others you mentioned.
A quote from Lennart Green's Snap Deal booklet: I would like to thank: Guy Hollingworth - who executed the move immediately after he saw it, before I had a chance to explain it. A TERRIFYING experience. LOL. |

Ummmm, thank you for the information. I did NOT say it was unavailable. I simply said it was out of print i.e. whatever copies left on the store shelves are the only ones around. |

I like the word "bestest". I have his book and I've learn his "Reformation". But I don't us it......what is wrong with me. I think it is need for just that special occassion I guess. I is indeed a good book. The guy (pardon) is smooth.
Not clever enough to come up with something orginal, or did I.

I just received Drawing Room Deceptions this past weekend and I am amazed...there's no other word.
Guy's material definetely isn't easy, but it gets the effect right...I am truly happy with my purchase... I heard that Drawing Room Deception will be out of print soon...Has anybody else heard about this?
