It caught me off guard at the time, but it's one of my favorite stories to retell. I was doing my ambitious card routine for a crowd of people at a walkaround gig... All of the people were watching were teenage boys roughly my age. I began by having a card selected and signed. Now half the...

Hello! Well, I'm not a coin magician really and my skills in coin technique don't stretch too far past the basics, but I've recently fallen in love with the fantastic Eric Jones routine "Oxy Clean Coin Routine"... I've filmed a silent video of myself performing it and please forgive the...

Hey everyone!!!!! I've found the means to accomplish an incredible effect that will convince your target that you are psychic. Years ago I read David Blaine's excellent autobiography Mysterious Stranger... In it he described that he once baffled a family friend by predicting the exact moment...
