    Positive Role Models

    I probably didn't do him justice by the way I described it. I don't think he was intending a sexist comment but was rather just stating something along the lines of "Imagine if someone was disrespecting someone you care about, such as your mother, on stage in front of everyone how would that...

    Magic Shows/Lecture Info

    I personally just look up events on eventbrite.com. That is how I find out who is lecturing at the Penguin studio in Colombus.

    Positive Role Models

    I recently have been really bummed by all the news surrounding David Blaine lately. He was my biggest inspiration in magic and seeing him live during his tour boosted my morale to complete my own show when I was too overwhelmed and felt like giving up. I wasn't going to bring attention to the...

    Stay Cool by Tobias Dostal Review (Live Performance)

    To be fair, I did say that they only perform for Instagram and YouTube. So that would not include people like Shin Lim since he performs live as well. And like I said it's just my opinion. I'm sure in their minds they are magicians.

    Stay Cool by Tobias Dostal Review (Live Performance)

    Thanks so much for the support man! I was nervous about posting this review but as long as I can save people $50 then it's worth it. Also, it really ticked me off when I found out that this was ripped off from Florian Zimmer.

    Are there statistic on most picked cards by spectators? Where can I find it?

    Based on personal experience when performing Kolossal Killer, it's usually the Ace of Hearts. Doesn't matter the gender, it's just what I have found most people gravitate towards. I performed it five times in a row at different locations and each time it was the Ace of Hearts.

    Great effects that aren't over priced or not what the trailer makes out

    For $60 you could get Double Cross which in my opinion is the slayer of magic tricks. The reactions it gets alone is worth the price tag. I would also recommend checking out Ignition by Chris Smith. It's an overlooked effect that has so much potential. I have a lot of fun performing it. If you...

    Help with Upcoming Performance

    I would have something ready just in case they don't have cameras that will have livestream feed to a screen. Also when going into events like this keep in mind there is a big difference between stage magic and close-up magic.

    Ring Magic

    Congratulations you have successfully started the thread. I think I know what you are getting at though. My favorite ring magic is Ring Flight Revolution by David Bonsall, Divorce by Justin Miller, Reflex by Patrick Kun, On/Off by Nicholas Lawrence, Invisible by Damien Savina, and Tarantula II...

    Yigal mesika tarantula and pen pro

    The IT for Spider Pen Pro is a lot stronger than the standard loops that Mesika sells and is pretty easy to repair. I literally just bought Tarantula II today so I will report on that once I've used it more. I can say that you can use Spider Pen Pro without needing any knowledge of how to use...

    Mentalism

    Word to the wise about life in general: you get what you pay for so if you want premium material you will have to pay a premium price. With that being said, I recommend starting with Practical Mental Magic by Ted Anneman and 13 Steps to Mentalism by Corinda. Those books alone will give you a...

    Uses for an ITR besides levitation?

    I use it in my stage show. I'll PM you the clip of the performance and you can probably deduce my method of how I do it knowing that I'm wearing a loop. Just have to wait until my editor puts up the video.

    Uses for an ITR besides levitation?

    I prefer to use loops for PK touches but I see no issue with using an ITR for it as well.

    Coins for coin magic

    I like Grifters for coin magic. They are currently $5.24 on penguin.

    Opening a performance

    I swallow a sword as a lure to attract a street crowd.

    Hypocrisy?

    I disagree with this argument. Stuart Edge and Jarek seem more like the type to not even know who Anneman is let alone pick up a book and read about magic. The reason why they perform it and every other YouTube magician is because theory11 made a flashy and epic trailer for it and they wanted to...
