AO5 talk
World,
Wow…Where do I begin? AO5 has changed everything for me. It has been my outlet on a lot of personal things that have been going on in the past month. AO5 was my way out so to speak. As most of you already know, I broke up with my girlfriend. What you didn’t know is that it happened after some of AO5 was already filmed. When you see me in the black button up shirt and black tie...

Float #3 - My experience
Float #3
World,
This voyage was more about realizations that visualizations. It was my 3rd float experience. The date was Wednesday July 6th, 2011 from 9:15 to 10:15. Before I talk to you about the float let me tell you how my frame of mind was before entering. For a whole week prior to my float I had a lot on my mind. I felt a vulnerable chill feeling as if my friends had disconnected with...

My 2nd Float Experience
Multiverse,
Last night I embarked on my 2nd journey in the Sensory Deprivation tank. A quick sum up for those who don’t know what this is, the tank removes you from all of your senses and leaves you only with your thoughts. Think of it like a over sized bath tub with a shell that covers it making it look like a chamber. There is a light inside that you control with a little button where...

Anonymous asked: Tell me how to be hungry. I lost my drive. My passion. Everytime I practice magic with my deck of cards, this little thought in my mind goes:
"What are you doing man? Magic? People are going to see what you're doing. They now you did Double Lift. They know you did an Emsley Count. Who are you kidding man?"
I forgot how to be happy again. I forgot to live in my world.

My car walk request letter to the SCPD
Santa Clara Police Chief,
Hi, My name is Chris Brown and I’m a film maker / magician. The reason for this request is to ask a huge favor from the police department. I’m working on a short film / magic video and in this video I’ve included visual art that is meant to make the video more memorable and the final positive message to be easy to remember. I love abstract art and I...

"The Rainman Algorithm"
World,
From Magic Con 2011 I was inspired to take my day of the week calculating algorithm and publish it. Its been a year since I’ve created it which means a year of practice. Finding loop holes, patterns, do’s, don’ts, stories, realizations, and using approximately 2 and a half thousand people to practice this on. I’m now comfortable and pleased to how it has grown and...

People are naturally good.
World,
Hi, its me again. Lets begin. Its beautiful to see species coming together to help one another. In the past 2 days I’ve seen an abundance of this. It all started yesterday morning. Jessica and I were in Hawaii for the past week visiting her mom and step dad. We saw the part of Hawaii that tourists don’t get a chance to see. Swam with fishes, sea turtles, and watched whales...

Monday.
World,
My day of the week calculating algorithm has stumbled upon an interesting new energy of experience. Everywhere I go I do this to get quicker at it and to keep my mind sharp. I did it the other day at Wells Fargo, this is what happened.
I was demonstrating the day of the week trick to a bunch of people standing in the teller line. I honed in on a Russian man and woman. The woman was in her...

A deck of cards through my eyes
World,
My decks of cards reincarnate.
The next time you see a deck of cards I want you to remember everything you’re about to read. I can remember the very first deck of cards I have ever received. Will Chandler gave it to me as he taught me the coin matrix. They were blue back bicycles. As I learned a bit more with this very same deck I realized it didn’t have the same fluid...

Anonymous asked: As a man who creates films myself, I have to ask... Is there any unreleased footage that we might have missed from AO3? Or any of your videos for that matter. From my experience I usually leave a few things out here and there. I'd love to see your deleted scenes so to speak.

Stillness
Stillness. I never realized what it fully was until about 4 months ago. It’s a mental state to where when things are going chaotic, you don’t move. Now I’m not talking about complacency or inability to provide action from fear of consequences. It is plain and simply saving your energy for things you feel are of more importance and significance. Imagine if every tap on a car or a gust of...
