Very nicely put. Bruce Cervon- legend. sorely missed. CL

Tricycle is great, absolutely wonderful. It should be noted that it was a joint creation between DG and the brilliantly talented Luke Dancy. For anybody who owns the red gaff deck (with the reversed printed box front), try holding the box front CARD against the box, mimicking the front. Now...

This looks great... *Looks around* "Dee!! Lets just move somewhere else!" (I assure you, it'll all make sense some day) CL

If I may interject... The magic underground refers to magicians who do not strive for critical acclaim within their peers, but who dedicate their time to performing for real world audience's. They generally receive a level of acclaim within their profession, however, through the creation and...

Hey guys! Allow me to glow for a second... Okay I'm done... Well, Doug and Mike- Thanks guys, it's always nice to know that the material is appreciated! My thoughts to my theory and philosophy on these types of effects has been touched upon in other threads, and I will most likely...

Although I can't view the vid right now, I love Mathieu Bich's work, he is, in my opinion, taking a lot more risks than the majority of current creators. I'm sure this will be great! CL

Effects (and creating magic with water and ice) has long been a massive part of my repertoire, and a huge element in my pursuit of 'real magic'. My intent with this mini book is to show just a selection of my idea's on using ice within magic. I hope that it also inspires others to open their...

Hey man. Thanks for the overview! I'm very pleased you consider the information on offer to be of a high calibre, though I'm intrigued as to why you can't see yourself performing these routines? I have been playing with these little gems for a long time now (Slammer and CHILL are the...

YO! Not gonna linger around here too much, my heads inflated as it is! I will pop in time to time though, so if anybody has any comments, questions or queries, I'll do my best to answer as fully and frankly as possible. CL

The Jones change is taught incorrectly, but they feature the correct tutorial for it on their youtube channel. The clipshift was performance only on the trilogy, but I believe they teach an alternative to it in the tutorial? You can learn the clipshift in 'Surfaced' by Chad Nelson. CL

When performing, I have a very relaxed, conversational style which accurately exemplifies my personality. I perform in the same manner at a cocktail party as I would for my friends at a party (perhaps with considerably less swearing...). For me personally, I consider it important to try and...

Without a doubt, some of the strongest reactions I've got have been from Stigmata. Such a strong effect. However, I do obviously strive to evoke strong reactions from everything I perform. As an aside, I'm releasing a booklet (Shh, it's supposed to be a secret) tipping the work on a handful...

Come on guys, play nice. Look, I have a sarcastic sense of humour, but you gotta understand, when the two members of one couple are on the same forum, they don't want somebody who (as you point out) doesn't know, nor will ever meet them, commenting on the more personal sides of the...

While magic can indeed be utilised as a wonderful ice-breaker, I strngly feel that it shouldn't be used with the express intent of helping one 'pick up' a suitor. Breaking the ice is can be a problem with some people, and many have social blocks, which can hinder, or althogether stop someone...

Haha, I hope that was sarcasm?! If 55 hours hanging upside down is lame, then I really need to re-assess my use of the term... CL

To be honest, I personally wouldn't take it as an insult if one were to say 'your trick is flawed'. A lot of great magic is flawed. Slop Shuffle. The whole thing is a discrepancy, a factor which could be called a flaw. It works though, so why not use it? Tenkai's optical revolve...

It's a discrepant visual, so no, it will not fool all of the people all of the time, some people just simply have a knack for seeing through things like that. But, it CAN be very fooling. I use it almost daily and I've never been called up on it. CL

Time to consult the archives... CL

Beat me to the punch! Yeah, Wayne performs Torque, from AH-HA, the Eric Anderson/David Harkey book. It's a very nifty effect, and while the bend itself is not overtly visual, the overall appearance of the effect is very magical. More of an implicit than explicit moment. Good Luck finding...

Memento is great, a wonderful effect, nicely structured, builds with each step, and has a stunning climax. Awesome! By the way, as an aside, the magician performing memento in the video linked above is none other than my good buddy Jonathan Pickard! You should check out his effects, really...
