anyone else read that he wanted to change into a dress with a tie?

does it have to be cards?

Part of the difficulty of mentalism is finding the effects that fit you and your style. Along the way you'll understand how different mentalism is from magic. It requires a whole other skill set. The effects you might be looking for are called mental epic effects, if I've correctly understood...

yeah i'm really hoping to get some great info like last year. I"m a theory guy.

Im really stoked for this year, and they have some really interesting experts in scientific fields presenting too!

I was really surprised this is right around the corner! Who's coming?? And what are you most excited for? I'll be there, and I'm really excited for David Williamson and Lennart Green.

I actually had that thought said to me the other day by Harold Ross. Doing a video based not on "trick creation" which is the big thing right now. Instead, giving a few magicians the same effect, or even the same kids magic set and having them try to come up with the best presentation for the...

I think there's a misconception about what Derren does. I know a lot of people want to present magic just like he does. For many people who are ignorant about the subject of mentalism, he's seen as "the best", as in the one with the best tricks. The fact is when you read Absolute Magic you...

I'll echo you on this Will, such a strong presentation. Really really great.

Come on guys try to realize there are more effects and DVDs that exist outside of theory11. Stairway is an old effect. Check out Dan harlans DVDs on rubberbands, he's got like 5.

Are you a magician or a flourisher? There aren't a whole ton of routines in EMC it's mainly theory based. If you don't perform or plan on performing professionally there's no reason to get EMC.

I have a weird issue with putting your photo on the card, but then again I have a strange style of everything. Also, there's sort of a minimalist movement picking up momentum that you might want to consider. All "modern" art/fashion etc is very minimalist, you might want to consider cleaning...

As rep said, it's a focus issue. If you're performing hunched over watching the shuffle, you need to relax back and bring the heat off a little bit toward the end of the sequence. If you're not speaking throughout the shuffle try thinking of something to say, half of the reason magic works is...

Hey Eostresh, love the styles of reviews that you give. They're very enjoyable to read, kudos from me for sure. I think this deck is going to become more and more popular considering they don't look nearly as awful (opinion) as the 909s. They also break in very well, I had to finally put...

It's an awesome hat, but it's also original to Calen. I'm not downing fan boys or band wagons, but why don't you try to do your own thing?

I agree with you Chris. It's a difficult thing with magic, because people see it as a puzzle. They know it's not real magic, so they watch to try and figure it out. You're right that it's all about how your relationship is with the audience in order for them to not see it as a trick or a...

Wow, these vanished for a while, I was about to go to one a while ago, but they didn't have it. Annnnd I'm going paint balling tomorrow. I swear you guys check my schedule so you can plan on me not driving up to LA to be there.

David Blaine's book has a little bit of magic history as well
