Absolutely, without a doubt, AoA. I reckon Danny would probably recommend that choice himself! The astonishment books are hands down the best purchase I have made in magic to date. Deeply inspiring work. CL

Hey dude. I have a couple of personal psych forces, and there some of the most fun things to create, as they have a lot of flexibility. If you know anything about Mnemonics you would have a bit of a headstart in creating your own. CL

Mine... -Troy Hooser's 'Closed open prediction'. Very devious and fairly simple. -Wayne Houchin's 'Stigmata'. I've fawned over this effect so many times but I absolutely love it. -Paul Harris' 'Las Vegas Leaper'. Quite simply *The ONLY cards across routine I perform* -DROP...

Steve Draun is an absolute legend. His work on the pass and his coin vanish in particular are very VERY cool. I don't have this volume, but I hear very good things. CL

Like Ben Earl's stroke change? Sounds cool buddy anyway, if it's original. CL

Okay then, after some consideration, a possible solution to this impromptu-busting-problem... Upon being handed the can, we check if it is suitable. If it is, rock the hell on. If it is not, continue... -You give the can a few taps on the edge of the table/ground/a wall/etc, and state...

I have had issues with this. Dee, I'm surprised you haven't, It's a fairly common issue for me in the UK to have an 'unsuitable' can around thirty percent of the time... For me, it's about picking and choosing, and keeping in mind the cans you KNOW to have no such issues- I generally stick...

This is not really an issue. Some think it is (usually inexperienced performers), as they believe the 'funny' explanations are somehow detractory or derogatory toward the magic moment. The plain truth is, you've just shown someone something which (hopefully) has absolutely dumbfounded your...

Excellent idea of using Fallen- probably better than the original application of the ambitious riser. Angle-wise at least. For anybody interested in the Gardner flourish, I couldn't say where it was originally published (like I say I learned it from the Bich DVD), but it's a very simple, very...

This reminds me of one of the oldest effects I 'created'- I had a spectator sign a coin both sides. I then had the spec' hold a bunch of change and I toss the signed coin into the mess of metal. she shakes the coins up in her hands, effectively 'shuffling' her coin into the pile. She opens her...

Uummm... Haha, I'll PM you mate, don't worry about it. A clue though, is to search 'Freezer Burn'... You'll get why I'm being vaguely cryptic... CL

I love performing anything relating to the formation or production of ice. I love elemental magic. CL

From the get go- a disclaimer- I don't own either of the Dan Hauss effects, so my views are the complete outsiders opinion. If my concerns are unfounded, I implore correction. I would say that Jay is probably concerned about the lack of crediting involved with the productions. I have no...

1.) when and how did you get into magic I got into magic around nine years ago, which would have made me about 13 years old. I saw a David Blaine special as well as a big huge chart rundown of the greatest magic tricks ever, where I got to watch Guy Hollingworth, Lance Burton, Juan Tamariz...

Whats up man! CL

Dee Christopher's 'shift' is a very simple, very clean signed card to wallet/pocket... wherever... CL

The Blaine book is awesome, a really interesting read. I have Houdini on magic, and it's a nice enough little text. touches on locks, escapology, magic, showmanship, spritualist debunking... loadsa stuff. CL

It just sounds like a haunted deck to meee. There are many on the market, some achievable by using IT hook ups, some by completely different methods. I like the one Nestor Hato does with his super fly Nestorizer gimmick. CL

Altight mate. I'm in the UK and I have a star tattooed on my hand. It has never caused any issues whatsoever with getting jobs, and I actually work quite a decent job at the moment (pays enough for me to live in a city-centre flat). As an aside, although it's not the reason I originally got...

Hey buddy. I wouldn't get the gecko for a coin effect. I haven't worked with the gimmick but I've heard it can be a bit cumbersome when using it in conjunction with coins. For a 'pure' approach, I would use a simple shuttle pass. Actually, thats a lie, I would suggest a simple shuttle...
