Is this what we really want to do, though? What does making you study flourishes harder accomplish? In magic, I can understand - it is an argument often used in favour of books. I agree that, in making you concentrate, and allowing you to raise your own interpretation of what is being...

NO. No no no. I mean, yes, it's a great idea, but in my opinion, DON'T do it like that. If you give do it in that order - do the trick, finish it early, move on, and THEN give them the envelope later on - what's the natural explanation? That you hid their card, placed it in the envelope, and...

Check out 13 Steps. Once you understand what a Swami is, and what it looks like, it should be pretty easy to figure it out and make your own if you want (whether it does the job as well as a professionally made one depends on your ability, and your preferences). Nino - Any major online store...

Did a quick Google search, this is the only thing I found: Florida Magic Co (954) 473-1902 PO Box 290781 Davie, FL Map

I think you're a few years late for that one my friend :P

Hi gio: Have a look at this thread on the Genii forums: http://www.geniimagazine.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Forum=1&topic=002776&Number=0&site_id=1#import The title explains it all - Magic in Budapest. Also check out...

This is the problem with your attitude towards books. Unfortunately, it's probably in some book. The greater portion, and by far the better portion, of magical discourse is in books. I can understand learning difficulties with books - especially the old ones are difficult to read, I'm having a...

Fair enough, alright, I can see some merit in this. Hope it goes well :)

The Jinx. Probably contains around 80% of Derren's material. To paraphrase Brad, magicians once again prove themselves to be easier to deceive than laymen.

They're essentially shooting a movie. Believe me, it takes a LONG time. Editing one alone often takes a year or more.

Hahaha. Oh, dear God.

Happy birthday Raul. Hope all is well, have a good one :)

Absolutely. Let me make it clear again that my first thought was positive, and I have considered recording some thoughts, although to be honest, the topic is so broad that it was somewhat intimidating. But I may well do so - and I appreciate the compliment :) What I'm asking though, and what...

Whilst my first thought about this was positive, I would like to second Gus' question, namely: What does this represent that a forum post couldn't? And if you incorporated artists, what does this represent that the iTricks Magic Podcast currently doesn't? In other words, why should I care? :)

Sure, no worries. To your first comment, the first thing that comes to mind is that you should probably practice more, if you are always being caught whilst performing sleight of hand. The beauty of magic is in its impossibility, and so if your spectators can point to your performance and say...

Just about anywhere, to be honest. Look at any big magic shop. Or any brick and mortar one too. Well, I'd say just do it at your own pace. I would simply say that as you mention, I would recommend covering all of the material. That said, Corinda is a wonderful index of different areas of...

This doesn't apply to your brother so much, but certainly to people who have posted about their friends. Show your respect to magic, and they will respect magic as well. Who's ever heard of a woman dancing around and hitting a deceased person with a wand at their funeral*? It's about respect...

Do you enjoy it? If you do, then I think you certainly have a future in it. It takes a while for someone to "learn the ropes", so to speak, but that's ok - that's normal. It took me about two years to really start getting more comfortable in the magic community. Angles are just a matter of...

I just wanted to say that I see what you're saying, but I would also point out that for every person you hear about who became successful without college, there are at least a hundred who did by going to college. I'd refer to it as something along the lines of hedging your bets, and probability...

I'd like to take this moment to support the idea of researching the history of a sleight before comparing its origins... As has been mentioned, it goes back further than it would first seem.
