Bill Malone

And I just want to share this.

Do you remember the very first time you saw the color changing knives? Because for me, I was introduced to that type of thing, watching the Bill Malone DVDs on the loose, those four volumes, where he had the pocket knives and he was changing them from, you know, black to white and using the paddle move, as we all know.

And it's remarkable.

And, you know, Doug's a pig for the paddle move, man.

Your last item that you had was Invisible Palm Aces slash Open Travellers.

You referenced Bill Malone specifically.

Yeah, well, when you see him performing, it's a great performance and it's a great routine.

Again, I'd probably...

It's certainly not something I perform all the time.

Last time I performed it was at the Alex Sam convention.

One of our customers was learning Bill Malone's routine and he asked me if I knew it.

And I was like, yeah, I'll show you.

I've had that happen to me, like, can you

do that again? Bill Malone.

Bill Malone.

Bill Malone does it perfect.

Whenever there's, like, a quick moment of, like, just setting up a new trick or in-between tricks, he just does some tricks, the audience is still clapping.

He's like...

You know, I, I, I've realized that no matter how hard you try, there's gonna be people that will try and throw you under a bus over it.

So I put this video out the other week, and it was, like, a deep dive into Bill Malone's career, and it was like a 30-minute video, and I talked about him growing up in Chicago, and I talked about every single aspect of his life, and then I kind of brought it full circle and talked about what we can learn from, uh, from, from Bill Malone's journey.

And I had so many people commenting saying, "That's the best video you've ever done." Even Nemet said, "That's like one of the best videos that you've ever done." And then there's this guy that posted [laughs] on the other thing that, that...

Um, and it's always the same thing.

He posted going, "Oh, you'll rip anything off, won't you, Craig? Now you're ripping off, uh, Bill Malone's career to try and get views and clicks." And it's like, do you know how much time and effort I took to put that together? And then I g- People like that don't realize I can just click and see what other posts he's put on my channel, and every single time he posts it's like something negative, something negative, something negative, something negative.

So it's all right.

Bye.
