I see many good points on here. Instant gratification is indeed a problem, but there is no way to fix that as technology and human nature marches forward. We just have to adapt and restrain ourselves from taking an easy route. Exposure doesn't hurt magic in the long run as many seem to think...

They do make a growing sponge ball effect as well. A small ball puched into your fist becomes a much lager one. There is also a great sponge balls from hair effect done by Jeb Sherrill taught in his lecture notes. His website is www.sablemagic.com

Ghost Bills is indeed a great effect. I however re-tooled it for myself with some different handling and presentation (As is required for most Mayne effects). When I was doing street theater in NOLA I made giant novelty bills with my face and info on them, would do ghost bills as a stand up...

Then where the hell did I get that name from? ha ha. Regardless, I like color changing deck triumphs like Garcia's and Williamson's handlings. I like Williamson's more for the story and believability that can go with an effect like that.

I'm Torn on Daniel Garcia. Some may take this as a Warning, but I don't think his driving force is Greed.. but then again he might just be a Fraud.

Color Fooler Dooler. The color changing triumph Williamson has on his Magic Farm DVD. (It's a modified verison of one from Paul Harris) Good story, good effect. Not the version I do mind you, but I think it is a damn good one.

Just a quick note. The flutter change video is NOT Kurtz's change. That needs to be fixed. Also don't forget the old stand by of the snap change and the throw change. (Don't remember who originated it. Malone teaches it on his "on the Loose" dvd's.) I will admit the in your face change looks...

ID is a great bit as it looks like skill and not a trick deck to be sure and there are many various ways to perform it. Personally I always have my jumbo index cards, some sharpie markers, a cube of green jell-o, and swing a ring. However, I think being able to work off of what is on the table...

Magician's Forum - A gathering of amateurs and some pros in the field of prestidigitation in an online fashion. 3/4's full of asshattery. "Arguing on the internet is like racing in the special olympics... even if you win, you're still retarded."

Seeing as how the above photo was enhanced obviously, the flame coming from his hand is being emitted using a propane or butane source (You can tell by the color of the flames and it's behavior) Fickle Fires use lighter fluid or white gas which gives you a brighter orange flame.

There are a couple of things that could do this. One is called "Fickle Fire" it's a hand held device that creates flame in your hand. You get two and can pass them from hand to hand. If you ever see a magician holding fire it is using those gimmicks. Inviso-torch by Jim Pace (Ripped off and...

I have a friend who traveled with Andre Kole and did work for him. He has some stories to tell. His vanish of the statue of liberty he does is amusing from what I have been told.

I'll give you a phrase my friend once told me. "it's only a barrier if you allow it to be" He meant physcially, but it also applies mentally. That which stops you, only does so if you if you let it. In your case, just perform more. Or perform silent. Sometimes more can be said by not...

Come on guys? You're not trying to get hired to do shows? This is the season for it! Magic has seen a great influx of spooky creepy crazyness. Regardless, I'll be driving my way across the east coast to PA for a sideshow convention with some sideshow freaks. We have some stops along the way...

Second one is much better. Only problem is I know how angly BP is for an effect like that. Surrounded is not an option. E for effort tho'.
