Card control is considered fundamental knowledge among magicians. The cardman's ability to move a chosen selection to any part of the pack he or she would like, is crucial when performing effects that utilize playing cards. Many of those just starting out in sleight-of-hand aren't sure where...

Guys, Just a note that we realize many of the posts that were previously deleted did not need to be - and they have been corrected and restored now. We apologize for any confusion, in the process.

Just to clarify, the effects were selected more for those magicians looking to get started in mentalism - using an object we're all familiar with (playing cards). Although I wouldn't necessarily group any of the aforementioned tricks strictly into the mentalism category, they do all have a...

Just wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy Birthday man! We appreciate everything you do, day-in and day-out. Looking forward to the future and many more birthdays to come.

Mentalism is a performing art - some might say, a 'branch' of magic - that focuses on the mind and thoughts (ESP, psychokinesis, suggestion, mind reading, and the like). Some would argue that mentalism is as close to real magic as one can get. It certainly has had an impact on the current state...

Shane, Fire and foremost, we appreciate the kind words and support! We do our best day in and day out - and it's a constant hustle. In fact, I'm 98.5% sure JB is investing in a Red Bull factory in the coming weeks. We'll keep you posted. ;) Thanks again Shane! You rock.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. ;)

To each his own, guys - to each his own.

We thought Zach's On The Boat video was great. It shows a few members here having fun, aside from all the seriousness that, often times, is magic. At the risk of sounding critical - lighten up. No idea where all your hostility stems from, but it isn't needed. Let's stop jumping to conclusions...

We generally review all media submissions within 48 hours. From there, we make the decision whether we're going to post it or not (based on a number of factors including but not limited to technique, production, etc.). Remember, we try to post only the best of the best! ;) Hope this clears...

Remember that each promo is only good for the week of the featured 1-ON-1 SESSION, so be sure to grab 'em while they're up. :cool:

Bestselling author and magician Richard Wiseman just posted an awesome interview with the two-man magic act Barry and Stuart over at his WordPress blog. In the podcast, the duo chats with Richard about magic and religion, what happens when dangerous stunts go wrong, and how they might...

Apollo just gave us the heads up on a couple of sneak peek snippets from his feature episode: sneak peek :: Apollo Robbins - Leverage : Pregame sneak peek :: Apollo Robbins - Leverage : The Job Enjoy!

An error in wording - my apologies. Edited the original post.

In this edition of our weekly 1-ON-1 SESSIONS, we'll be studying an area of magic that's instructional origins stem from a magician by the name of J.B. Bobo. In his book Modern Coin Magic (originally published in 1952), Bobo focused on sleights and effects involving a common item that we all...

theory11 artist and internationally renowned pickpocket Apollo Robbins will be making a guest appearance on the hit TNT series LEVERAGE, this week. In the episode airing this Wednesday, the LEVERAGE team is forced to go head-to-head against another crew of thieves - of which Apollo is a part of...

It was a pleasure reading through so many incredible entries tonight, guys! Before I announce the winner, I'd like to extend honorable mentions - in particular - to Keokesilverfang, Magic Man4293, and visualartist. Your posts made this one extremely difficult to judge. Without further ado...

Tonight, we wanted to do something different; a little more serious; a bit inspirational. The goal of tonight's Saturday Night Contest is simple. By remembering what it is about this art that inspires each of us - we can, collectively, inspire each other. Your job tonight is to summarize the...

In light of all the Magic Live! festivities - and also the fact that JB is currently 30,000 feet in the air - there will be no 1-on-1 release tonight. However, he did record a special podcast (from the airport, might I add) with full updates on two major releases scheduled for next Friday at...

As magicians, there is an abundance of items we can 'putpocket' (including chosen playing cards, our license - for a killer ID transpo, etc.). In fact, Apollo Robbins discusses this in our latest Roundtable Discussion. Definitely a relevant topic that we should all explore further.
