"Birth of the Cool" is an album that collects the twelve sides recorded by the Miles Davis nonet (featuring Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz and others) for Capitol Records in 1949 and 1950. The music is considered seminal. This blog is dedicated to that spirit -- keeping things "cool" by blog birthing. If you've got somethin' cool to share, blow on.

Some stunning magic!
I am a big fan of magic and the magicians who ply the trade. I am always intrigued with magic that incorporates modern technology, yet is performed in an intimate setting where the tricks are real practical magic as opposed to clever "CG" presentations. Accordingly, I was totally blown away, yet charmed by this wonderful bit of magic. Realize that this dude is doing all this with Ellen sitting right next to him, a proximate audience (love the selfie bit), and close, unforgiving camera work. I have no idea how he is pulling this stuff off. Too cool.
