Great show.
I got to ask cause its bugging me, what kind of shoes does Brian have on? It appears to have something on the back of the heal. Like in the Cowboy Boot Spurs location. You can see it decently at 14.50-15.

Not the first time I've seen the wrong show listed in the show notes. You guys need to be more careful with the copypasta.

Those are my homegrown remotes that let me run all the tech for my stage show from my shoes. During my full stage show, there are 40-60 music and video cues... Way too many to trust a sound man to learn before the show.
There are other remote system out there, but I needed one that I could run while strapped in a straitjacket, or using my hands for magicky stuff. So I reverse engineered some keyless remote entry systems for cars, spliced some leads to an old keyboard switch, and attached them to the backs of my shoes (left is play/pause, right is fade/advance). Hilariously enough: to this very day, one of the remote's backings is a piece of a VHS tape.
Maybe I'll make a video explaining the setup sometime.

I loved the idea of psychic surgery. Great addition to the trick.

Interesting....and very creative. I'd definitely like to see an explanation video some day.

Having seen Shwood's show before, I have to say that the addition of the Psychic Surgery card trick was amazing. I really liked the banter and the trick, will this be a regular part of the show or was it a one time trick? I could really see that trick killing with the college crowds.

Can someone tell me the artist who performs the cover of A-Ha's 'Take on Me' that plays in the background while Brian is drawing fake moustaches on people in the crowd?

I cant just tell you how it's done. But it's a Russian Roulette style effect, I'm pretty sure Shwood came up with his own version (he built his own spinner for sure) and with a little research you could probably find a place that sells a book or manuscript teaching a version of the trick.
It's often done with nails when pre-packaged as a complete trick.

how he did the surgery card trick ... i have no idea and the only possible way i think this can be made is if the spectator you pick is your friend so you told him to take a card from the top of the deck becouse all of the cards are the same type , for example 52 cards wich are ace of diamonds , and the ones wich are on top are without his name , but the bottom ones are with his name (he is your friend so you know his name) ... i think this is the only possible way to do this trick i think
BUT if this trick works also with random spectator... can you guys tell me how its done , becouse its amazing
