    How would you practice tricks, where the props are destroyed?

    Part of practicing is the live performance as well. I suggest practicing the move up till the point it is destroyed. If you need to do a mercury fold for example use an old trashed deck. If it is something you need refills for that is expensive like “LIT” for example then practice with something...

    Double Cross

    It is one of the strongest effects that I have seen in awhile. Gets great reactions. You won’t be disappointed. However just keep in mind it is not a self working trick. You will need to use misdirection and understand how to control a spectator to give it maximum impact!

    I totally dropped my ring in someone’s drink! Lol

    I have! It is too fast for them sometimes so I slow it way down and take a lot out of it. The nice thing about ring magic is you can jazz it. Mad for specific advice, what would you like to know?

    Let's Talk About Stealing

    I agree. If something is on the market and you purchase it along with the rights to perform it it is yours to perform. If not you should get permission from the creator. Here at the magic castle you are not allowed to perform other people’s work unless you have explicit permission from them...

    Penn and Teller Masterclass

    From what I understand the class is meant to be an introduction to magic. Not really a master class for magicians. More like teaching people who do not already perform magic the art.

    Which gimmicks to get?

    Double Cross is one of those reputation makers that gets you amazing reactions. It works alongside card magic especially if you are having a card signed.

    Is it Worth It?

    Spend the rest of your life working towards the impossible, but don’t let that hold you back from the wonders you are currently creating. It is ok to perform the magic you are already used to and proficient at while also working on future effects on the side that you know may take awhile to pan...

    Laser Deal

    Have you ever watched a movie where a truck drives by and it honks? You hear that horn and it fades past. This subconsciously reinforces that the trick is driving by quickly. The snap does the same. It subconsciously reinforces that you are placing cards down on the table. Me personally I...
