    Moderators Wanted - Applications Open Now!

    Thank you Josh. You are one of the most insightful, respectable members we have. Hope to see you around still. Don't feel bad for stepping away at all. I had to do this myself to handle some family issues and once all was well, I was welcomed back with open arms.

    Honest Criss Angel Review from Last Night in Akron, OH

    Last night my wife and I were able to take in Criss Angel's RAW show in Akron, OH. I splurged for the $80 a piece tickets which were about 15 rows back from center stage. Anything in front of that was double the cost and I didn't think it would matter that much (which it didn't). Not much to...

    Performing Magic for Kids

    I've been performing for children for the past 18 years. What I have found is that even the various age ranges can determine which props/effects I take to the gig for my show. If I have a young group between the ages of 5-8 I will take very visual magic. Think: dove pans, appearing/disappearing...

    Anyone else ever get this?

    I think sometimes it boils down to "how" you are performing the magic. There will always be hecklers and skeptics, but for the most part I take an attitude of not trying to fool you per say, but allow you to experience something really neat or different. They are coming along for the ride and...

    Thank You Theory 11

I can't go into details as it is a very sad scenario, but this boy in my classroom and his mother came to my last stage show about two weeks ago. He loves magic and they...

    First time doing table to table magic

    Hi, I don't claim to be an expert by any means; however I have been doing this for the past 18 years semi professionally and can offer what has worked for me. Strolling magic or table hopping should be broken up into sets of effects. There should be a fast opener that grabs their attention...
