Here is a strange thought. Maybe something that isn't JUST a trick. Perhaps some theory on ol' Theory11.

Nice. Not entirely practical tho' it seems. Be kinda hard to do the YMCA dance. hee hee.

I recently had someone complain my card didna fit in their rolodex because I had written my info on a playing card because I was OUT of cards. (I gave them one after that heh) If you want someone to keep your card, don't be captain generic.... or do Michael Close's Pothole trick. Your card will...

Wow and if you fell in a lake with alla that on you, you could drown ha ha. Also, reading this short (sighted) list I'll notice that not ONE of you has mentioned a thumb tip.. for shame. Get some double backed cards and heck even some double facers, if nothing more than to create and...

Usually one will be inspired by someone's work and create an alternate handling based on the effect. (I recently created an effect based off Tattoo You by John Bannon and Backlash 2 by Paul Harris) Some collaberate together and some just do their own stuff. We all beg borrow or steal from time...

I am going to try it out in my stand up act this friday with Short Bus Comics. (Anyone in the vegas area wanna come see the show?) Gonna use my friends alternate clean-up handling where you can inflate the balloon and the phone (Or whatever) stays inside. Wheeee!!

If we're talking one bill and one bill only, I would do the biting out the center and restoring it OR borrow a sugar packet and knife and do a bill penetration (learned from Fearson's Magically Delicious video)

I had the pleasure of seeing this first hand at WMS a few weeks back, and I loved it. It's visual as hell and very pretty and from what I can see, pretty easy... if yer Eric Jones. As much as I LOVE this routine, I would never do it as I doubt I could improve upon it anymore as it is damn near...

I think the effect Backlash 2 on TA disc 1 suffers from this terribly. Yes you can overkill a magic effect easily.

I would suggest finding Steve Bedwell's "No MD required" video.

Why? He might be 3 foot tall but he's hella talented. (And no I don't listen to his music)

From Jan to april is generally a dead time for most performers. That's when you start planning and promoting for the summer. Also, if you live in an area with already well established people, it's harder on those who don't have a client base. As for me, I have a weekly show here in Vegas...

From someone who makes websites and does graphics allow me to point you in a few directions. One of them is www.webpagesthatsuck.com (learn good web design by looking at bad web design) A magicians website can be one of two things. A ego site where you make it just to stroke your own.. well...

Looks good for a first time out. However, it looks like every other card video out there right now. Try to find you own style yo. I suspect if you invest the time in video editing that you spent learning alla them flourishes, you could be a damn good video editor in the future. (That might...

The best thing to do is, after inflating it, let some air out as it removes pressure from the balloon itself. You could always put the business into the blunt end, but it does take a bit more force to swallow that way. After I tie mine off, I will squeeze the end down a bit as well to relieve...

Do not steal others work. You look like a hack and will get no respect in the community. It is a well known fact in fact, that if someone rips ME off, they find their kneecaps magically shattered. (Grin)

It depends what you THINK yer worth. Simon Lovell has been known to say the way to get higher fees is to have the balls to ask for them... BUT you have to be able to back it up. You can't charge a grand and suck. Be honest with yourself, get a going rate of YOUR area, and go forth. Don't try to...

Pure opinion. Doesn't mean yer right nor wrong, just your belief... be careful how matter of fact you are tho'. Just be careful how you state said opinion. People might get the wrong idea.

Don't feel like reading thru all the posts right yet, so I am gonna give my opinions on it and probably mirror some stuff already said. It depends on the person really. Some like to be mystified by it all. Some like the feeling of total "Duuuh" they get form it... but on the flipside there are...

Depends where you go to school and the age group. Umm.. you DO know that is a made up book right? Regardless, why has no one mentioned the razor blade illusion. You throw a blood capsule into that and you got something that people LOVE! I just happen to know a great video that teaches you...
