Ben Train is the Blue Crown's special guest tonight

From The Blue Crown Facebook page:
Our Question of the Day comes from our special guest - Ben Train!

"Everyone likes impromptu tricks, but I think we can all agree that sometimes great pieces of magic require preparation (other than just practice).

So here's my question. What's the furthest, or most elaborate, set-up you've been willing to go through to create a real miracle?" - Ben Train

Don't forget to join us TONIGHT at 8PM eastern time for a LIVE hour-long Q&A session with Ben! See you there!
