    Toby's Reviews: PSYCHO by Bedros Spidey Akkelian

    Hey guys, this is my first review ever. I always wanted to make reviews but I was busy. However, this product deserves one. Just a bit about my background, so you will have an idea about my credibility. I've been in magic for 7-8 years now, and I've been working restaurants, bars, walk around...

    One Trick Decks

    I was looking at the new Triumph DVD called "Modern Triumph", and one thing caught my eye in the comments section on YouTube. This is what a guy said, I quote: "Anyone foolish enough to carry around a gimmicked deck that can't be examined in any way just for one effect should seriously walk away...

    Drawing Duplication "Prediction"

    Hey guys. I've been doing drawing duplications (DD) for some time now, and it's one of my favorite pieces of mentalism. However, I've only done DD where a spectator draws something first, and then I manage to draw the same thing. Lately I've seen couple of video clips where a performer draws...

    Creativity Game

    Hey guys, I'm creating a card routine with blank cards, so I can put anything on them I want. I was hoping we can share presentation/effect ideas here in this thread. So if you can make anything turn into anything, what would it be? So far I have: 1. Frogs into Prince's 2. Live things...

    Prediction Routine

    Hey guys, I'm in search of a prediction routine which should look like this: you come up to the stage (or a table for close up), put an envelope on the table, do a 10-15 min. (or one hour) show, and in the end, to top it all off, you take the envelope and inside are the information about...

    Magic Castle Act

    Hi guys, As some of you know I'm a professional restaurant and close up magician (professional as in I make a living out of it). However, I got an opportunity to apply for Magic Castle, and as you know, they require a 15 minute show. I've only been to Magic Castle once, and I've only seen one...

    Lance Burton Is Cheesy

    I was just talking to one of my girl friends and she went to see Lance Burton's show and she said: "he was good but so so cheesy, you could just tell that he does the same things over and over in his shows so I didn't like that part of it but his tricks were great. like it just seemed routine...

    ESP routine

    Hey guys, I was wandering if someone can recommend a really good routine using ESP cards? I like ESPerfect, but the trick is over in 1 minute, and it doesn't really use the full potential of ESP cards. I've been using my own take on spectator matching up all the symbols with mine, but again...

    Writing a magic book/making a magic DVD?

    Hey guys, I had couple of very serious people approach me about making a beginners magic book or a DVD in my language, for people to learn about magic, and magic tricks from. I would like to know what tricks and sleights are "mainstream"? Which one I can explain without being frowned upon by...

    My Stage Hypnosis Show

    Hey guys, yet another video to help kill time until my podcast about Cruise Ships is up (at this point it's not up to me, but up to people who are editing and uploading my video). However, this video is also from the ship, where I was doing a stage hypnosis show. It only shows inductions, but I...

    Psypher, using a pad?

    On the DVD, B Smith explains how to "install" Psypher on the note pad, but he doesn't explain how to retrieve information from it. Can anyone help me out as how would you get a peek after they write something in the pad? Thank you!

    Human Gimmick

    I've had this idea for a while, to make myself into a walking human gimmick. I want to put as many tricks on myself without any obvious magician props. So basically I could do a half an hour show (or longer), or a restaurant gig, wearing/carrying nothing else than what a normal person would. So...
