D'lite v5 is a device to use in conjunction with it. The original D'lite was exposed on a TV show called "Taxi Cab Confession" many years ago. It has also been knocked off by many people so it's exposure is almost up there with the svengali deck and thumb tip. However, it's common knowledge is...

Razor Blade illusion Mystery. Go fig.

I recently talked about getting silent reactions in my magic journal. SOmetimes an effect is SO powerful the only thing they can do is stare. Believe it or not, it's not a bad thing when they are silent. Mind you there is a difference between "it's a bad trick" silent and "Holy crap you just...

The pass is one of those things that started as a good idea and got stuck in a lot of people's throats. On one side of the fence you have the "good enuff to get by" guys who believe the pass works with the right misidrection so if it's not perfect such is life. Then we got the "must be...

It's situations in magic like this that caused me to write one of my articles in SM magazine. Credit where credit is due sure, however the how and why doesn't matter so much as the effect it creates on your audience. If you do ambitious card with a Svengali instead of double lifts does that...

People always ask me who my fave magi are. My list (in no particular order) goes as thus: Penn and Teller Amazing Johnathan Rudy Coby Sylvester the Jester I have been fortunate to meet and briefly chat with each one. (And even hang out with one when I am in CA) I have always preferred the...

I tend to say no and keep going like nothing happened. They'll usually laugh cuz;' they think yer kidding.

Top - I use a few. A slip force as a control or a top change. Bottom - Fan control I created or a cradle grip. Steal - LTP

It is the human condition to create. Everyone has their own voice inside of them that drives them be it song, dance, painting or.. entertainment. SOme prefer magic as a hobby. A way to express themselves without having to step terribly far outside their comfort zone. Other strive to create art...

I think the only suggestion I have is an option to view the new posts since yer last visit like a lot of the other boards have. (Dunno if this kinda layout has that option but.. thought I would say something.)

Heckling is just a part of the bidness. The best/worst hecklers you'll get sometimes are your friends.. and that's good. You can sling lines at them without them getting hurt or offended. Encourage them to taunt you and then you can get used to it and develop lines. (But only if it's understood...

Mine means I didn't know how to spell Bizzaro when I was 13. Two r's? Who knew? Ah well it sets me apart from the superman villain and comic strip.

The can effect I do is an accidental extension of Mark Kornhauser's comedy effect Psycho-can-esis. Not the same method I promise.

When I create a new effect the internal dialouge in my head usually goes as thus: "Wouldn't it be funny if..." "Yes... yes it would" "How do we do that?" "Let's find out!" (Make stuff) Make sure you learn a lot about the world around you. How things work, have other interests, and PAY...

Be the best dressed or the most outstanding dressed. If you look like a waiter they want a drink refill. If you look like well.. most "Street" magicians nowadays they won't let you in or take you seriously. You wouldn't wear a wetsuit to a formal as much as you wouldn't wear a tux to a swim...

Boredom and that damned fisher price magic kit when I was six. Magic was different for a lot of us in my generation. (As it was different for the previous and before that) There was no internet. No young magicians clubs. Only brick and morter shops owned by grumpy old men who didn't want to...

I have one set up strictly for perfomers at www.myspace.com/firecatstudios

I agree impromptu magic is a GREAT way to go and everyone should know some. Regardless, if we are talking about just everyday stuff that don't require the forethought of "Just in case" mine is a deck of cards, and thumbtip. As for Non-magic, but can be used for such, items - pen (For writing...

I use nothing but red backed jumbo index cards. They are large and annoying.. like me. (And I can do a trick with the card box that freaks non-magicians out) Personally I find adhearing to one particular type of cards actually helps you because it puts limitations on your options and forces you...

*koff*LiVeSiNdAlLaS*koff* Good luck with yer search (grin) PS: Bennigans every monday in Arlington by six flags around 7-8pmish.
