Is it possible to perform Pressure right after RepAir?

I completely agree. Tempest should be writing all the reviews, lol. Looking forward to seeing more Tempest, please! I was getting bugged out from the other responses too! Andy

There are some people who are extremely receptive to magic. I've had a similar reaction when they a guy just ran the opposite way out of the exit of the building, coming back with goose bumps. Two Card Monte; simple, big impact. Andy

Awesome, thanks for the posting these effects that you do. Smoke is an interesting one. Way to go in finding away to do Dresscode. Back when I was working the restaurants, I'd do: - spoon bending - pen effects like re-cap or son of re-cap - card warp A comeback I always have, and I bet you...

Please check out Jean Pierre Vallarino - he's like the ballet of card magic. The only thing is that its mainly table magic. However, he may be a source of inspiration to evolve your own magic. Click here for a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4zWFspuyj8

I wouldn't say all magicians, just the magic hobbyist. The magician/performers knows that its all about what the spectator experiences. Period.

That's a little contradictory, don't you think? What else do you really want?

Hey man, I think any magician who has performed for a real audience, has had their share of nervousness, but you will conquer it. Don't just practice until you got the effect right, practice until you just can't screw it up anymore. That's when you will truly master an effect and your...

nIvan: You have your ways with words brother, such diplomacy. I couldn't agree with you more. What's funny is that even posting criticism takes effort, and dare I say practice. There's a level of emotional intelligence needed, in consideration for the recipient of the advice given to. For...

If he comes to Canada, you can bet I'll be there. I will schedule everything around that occasion if it ever comes. Apollo is on his way to become legendary if he isn't already.

OMG, thanks for reminding me. I'm registering right now. $75 for a copy of all the lectures is a steal!!! Apollo Robbins rocks! I wonder what effects are in his repertoire. They seem to be all perfect for strolling magic.

Watch this interview with one of my most favourite closeup artist. http://itricks.com/news/2010/05/does-your-magic-give-or-take-from-the-audience/

Just found this, a real joy to listen to him. http://itricks.com/news/2010/05/does-your-magic-give-or-take-from-the-audience/

Performers: Apollo Robbins: In your face closeup magic, and for his pickpocketing. This guys just too smooth and interactive with his audience. Cyril Takayama: For evolving classic effects into his own creative renditions. Making a real hamburger come out of a menu?!? That is so out of the...

Thanks gents, I suspected that this would have been a variation. I guess I was hoping that there was another method to it. The "Matrix Suspension" that Cyril does, and I think even Chris Angel did, looks like a different method. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25yFD55Lrls Anybody know the...
