The hole in card, ticket, business card plot has been around for many years. Michael Close and Geoff Williams had very good routines with restoring holes.

Although it isn't a new routine ( I saw the first version of this I think 3 years ago ), you perform it nicely. Well Done!

However...if you take a deck of cards in your right hand...face up and place a blank card on top...and reverse fan....guess what happens? You make the entire deck appear to be blank. My mentor Ed Ellis has an entire routine developed off of this principle. Try it, it looks sweet. Anyway...

That's great stuff man. Ha ha.

Andi, Can you please elaborate on what some of the differences will be from the way Josh and you are running it compared to years past? I've heard many rumors that there have been certain dealers asked not to come back (mainly the older generation ones) and that there is not a stage...

Nice job bro! You have some great pics for promo shots on your website. Too bad I don't live in New York to tag team some events with ya.

Sorry it took so long getting back to you. For me, if I can get out of it somehow I will, but....I never ever put the blame on the spectator or try to make them feel like they screwed the effect up. Even if they did cause the effect to mess up, try to make them feel bad or they will be less...

Draven brings up a good point, you can and will "go off" script at times, and this can be very fun with the dialogue that happens when we entertain. When you perform the effect long enough, you will know what little sub bits there are. Think of your main script like a tree trunk and the sub...

I also realize that you said impromptu performances...ha ha. The thing is, I can be at a party, or anywhere for that matter, and if someone says, "Hey can you show us a few magic effects..." I already know what my set will be, and what my exact patter is for all 3 effects. It very rarely...

I have 2 suggestions for you. 1.) Buy the book Scripting Magic - It is an outstanding read and will help you immensely. There are also some cool effects in it. One is worth the price of the book alone. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S9819 2.) Think of plots and story lines that are "hip"...

I've done quite a few street magic festivals so if you have any specific questions Arman...ask away and I'll try to do the best I can answering them from my experiences thus far.

Luis, that is insane luck my man. I'm glad you took full advantage of the opportunity at hand. Dani sounds very nice to meet with you, jam and do dinner. Great story bro.

Yes, I saw Penn and Teller's stage show two summers ago in Vegas. I don't remember seeing that exact effect though.

You are getting hosed man for that kind of money. My site hosting fee is $100 for the ENTIRE year and it looks professional with no ads or anything. It is through www.bludomain.com You choose the template / look you want, you make the modifications and edit it how you want. You pay for the...

Asher, loved your post and your thoughts. David is correct as well. That is why I posted this type of topic. I wanted to hear other perspectives and opinions on this topic. It definitely makes you stop and think and appreciate what we do for people and also to enjoy the magic moments in our lives.

Great posts fellas. I am also in agreement with Mad Hatter, that I do think it happens in our brains. It is our brain trying to deal with reality or our perception of what "reality" is and seeing things happen that should not and can not be. I know that sounds weird but I think most of you get...

I wanted to share this part of Bob Rees Lecture notes as I am sitting here reading them. I suggest this begs the question - "Where Does Magic Happen?" I can guarantee you it does not happen in the red, black, and gold box with the dragons painted on it. It does not happen in the sealed...

First, I'll give you the answer you "want" to hear. If I were in your shoes I would purchase Stairway and Extreme Burn 2.0 and pass on Rapture only because it is not really something that I see being practical and a "worker" at gigs. Stairway and Extreme burn are items you can carry on you and...

I wear a suit at every paying gig. The dress shirt under neath is normally a bright blue or bright purple and a nice tie that matches. I've never shown up at a gig in anything other than a suit. If is is 90 degrees or hotter out, I will sometimes take the jacket off at the gig. The only problem...
