Yeah - it is true - I used to respond to "can you make my wife disappear" with, "keep talking like that and I am sure she will disappear on her very own" - haha, back when I would get frustrated with the common lines. Then I did go the route of having a stock line prepared - but it never...

daveygs magic - I don't know who you are...but I am SO ****ING PROUD of you!! Not because you convinced the kid to take it down, or that it is proof that one person speaking out can change someone's mind - and that we should ALL speak out against exposure...but that you made a stance about...

Which brings me to your second point – there are many issues with Youtube magic and exposure. Have you ever talked to groups that watch the “Masked Magician” – the only thing this show teaches people is that there is always a solution – even the announcer talks in a condescending and dismissing...

Jason, When a card magician creates an effect, his duty in our craft is to credit to the best of his knowledge. I think the best crediting, done by guys like Lee Asher and Tyler Wilson for example, are guys that quote the source that inspired them, then those that came before, or at least...

How about a lesson in the next level of your magic? Notice how much of the advice you are given are the magic equivalent of a non sequitur? If you believe in this type of magic – then the sky is the limit…or should I say, the pit has no bottom – as you’re making the ambitious plot ending...

I have spent up close and personal time with: Lee Asher Aaron Fisher Nathan Kranzo Aaron DeLong Tyler Wilson Brian Roberts Oscar Munoz Josh Jay Gregory Wilson Sean Fields Jason Dean...but enough about SSS Magic Camp. David Williamson Richard Sanders Darwin Ortiz Eric LeClerc...

If you work enough - someone will eventually do something similar to you - jam the card in the deck...ask to shuffle...put you on the spot. I have used a mixture of responses. First - I ask them why they ask me that question - they often say, "I want to see if you can do it"...this opens the...

I am not sure that being part of a separate group is a bad idea. Why should magic not have a form of elitism in it? Musicians have separate schools for those that are serious about their craft...actually, the concept of College and University is elitism, as you are making a statement that you...

Hi Justin, Please let me clarify a few points - when I said, "I refuse to turn down a show where I could make a few hundred for a hour, because the old lady can't affod a grand", it doesn't mean I don't have a minimum price that I won't go under. I was discussing the concept of knowing your...

That is entertainment bro - do you think that a band...or a comedian gets paid the same for every show they do? Do you think Jerry Seinfield gets paid the same doing a night club, as he would for doing Carnagie Hall? You can tell the comments are made by those that haven't made a living...

I notice a few things I want to bring to attention, as it may not be the right "venue" but there is an educational opportunity for all...so: I notice many people who rang in on fee charge $75 to $150. I also noticed a few mentioned a price list. These things send trigger signals for issues...

I won't be reviewing Disc 9 - at the focus is on a gimmick that is only available with the set. However, now that I am done the set - I would like to offer it for sale. Please PM me if you are interested in a severe discount. Thanks for reading.

Nex, Very entertaining - strong magic with strong personality - got to see some fast thinking and wit. I am a fan.

Sure...and I say, some products are like hamburger, and some are like steak. Steak is a higher quality meat, it cost more. High quality stuff usually costs more. I see it as an investment. If you get one show from a coin gimmick, it pays for itself. If not...why are you doing that effect?

Scott - do you own any Lassen or Schoolcraft coins? I have used lower quality coin gimmicks, and they look like lower quality sets...they handle like that. Buy a Johnson shell - it fits like you trying to wear Shaq's sneakers...yeah, I know, I could have made a harder comparison to...

It varies Danny - it depends on the audiences choices - it could be 2..3...5. Anyhow - even if it were always 2, I am not sure it would be good effect structure to throw in selections to make up for handling flaws.

The more I am away from this site – the more I hate it when I come back...a good sign. I have started to write in a few threads, then deleted my words, as I am starting to see the wasted effort that goes in to helping people...and the anger that exists amongst a group, that COULD be a good...

Yeah me too - it was funny - and awkward - just like his business card. He does make a point, even if it is funny, don't be like the others. I knew a guy that made his business cards on puzzles, and colour changing paper - nobody threw his card out, although it DID fit in a Roladex. I...

Sebbyeq, thanks for posting - I just wanted to clarify something. It is not that "everyone has opinions", it is that we obviously have very different standards. I wrote in my last review that these effects are aimed towards people that want to do stuff for friends. However, I am a working...
