    Magician Insurance

    I use K&K entertainers Ins. My premium is about $200 a year. Not bad. Covers general liability. If you need additional riders it may be extra.

    Palming help please!

    I second and third what Christopher is saying. When I do Card to Pocket tbh sometimes so am so lazy I don’t even palm it. I literally just take it off the bottom of the deck and put it in my pocket. I still don’t get caught because the move is properly motivated as well as being used at the...

    Most important magic moves

    A lot of great sleights mentioned here! No matter which ones you choose, I would suggest keeping in mind the following criteria: 1. Looks Natural: Moves that look very unnatural or are extremely knack tend to put up red flags. Avoid them if possible. 2. Motivated: Make sure the moves make sense...

    How to take care of playing cards

    Make sure you wash your hands before use. I have the sweatiest nastiest hands so after about 2-3 hours of strolling magic my cards are essentially garbage. haha. Also it is worth mentioning to make sure you are handling your deck gently. Effects which bend the cards or put a lot of pressure on...

    Flash Products

    Using flash paper to produce a range of different products is always fun! I use it to produce anything from coins, deck of cards, wine bottle, and a real rose!

    Best Metal bending effect?

    There are gimmicked spoon bends out there that require no skill. If you are looking for something skill based I would suggest "Liquid Metal" by Morgan Strebler. This IMO is the best fork bending routine on market. There is also a metal bending course right here on T11 called BEND. I suggest...

    Ungimmicked matching cube?

    If you know how to perform any of the basic moves from Cube3 you should be able to do a matching effect. Rather than doing the shake move to solve it, just do the shake move to get Into your mixed match cube. The moves would be identical. The only thing that changes is the set up. You can even...

    BGT Banning Card Magic

    When I went out for both AGT and Fool Us the first thing they said was “NO CARD TRICKS!” So I mean it is kinda a given already imo. Not saying card tricks are bad, but when every magician is doing a card trick it does seem to be very repetitive to the lay audience. Now, having said that I...

    Size Does Matter

    UPDATE: Novo by Allen Rorrison seems to be the best bet for this! It is not an easy change to perform but it does what I need!

    Advice needed: what is best slight to pretending to turn coin over but switching it out?

    I think you may be overcomplicating it. If you really want to fool magicians, don't make a move out of it at all. Just show the coin and when you go to turn it over, drop the classic palmed coin then steal the other one. Shift you body from left to right as you look at another spectator, make...

    Size Does Matter

    Update: I tried to build an Extreme Burn gimmick that essentially does what I want to do and to no surprise it was very awkward and hard to make look smooth. The main issue is that the £ notes are crap plastic that don’t really fold and of course are a bit smaller than the $ bills. I am at...

    Advice needed: what is best slight to pretending to turn coin over but switching it out?

    Is the coin switching visually like a change or is it switching invisibly meaning the switch happens and the spectator is not supposed to realize it switched just yet. More context to the routine will help. Spellbound moves will help if it is meant to be a color change. Otherwise a simple false...

    Size Does Matter

    Curious if anyone has this effect by Juan Pablo. From what I have heard it doesn’t live up to Extreme Burn in the way one would hope. I want to change £ to $ but it doesn’t look like that is even possible. If I bought it would I be able to take it apart and reverse engineer it to use bills of...

    Extreme Burn Performance Ideas?

    Love it! I’m playing with the idea of an app on my phone that allows me to do instant bank transfers. Using the “tap” method to make deposits and stuff.
