Thank you very much for your feedback!!! I agree, if I angle my hand differently it will look better. I'll work on that!

Here's a video of me messing around with Lennart Green's awesome Snap/Laser Deal. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJrGbjtNtQU Michael Kras

I'm usually a perfectionist, at least when it comes to card technique, the unblinking eye of the video camera is just very limiting and, like it or not, effects DO look different from video then they do live. But what's done is done. Regardless, there are numerous god-awful videos of my marketed...

Thank you reverhart.... I appreciate your thoughts! Malibu, telling me to hold off on performances of effects like this is quite frankly insulting. I'm not a youtube magician... when I film myself I perform effects as though I do in real life. And effects do not consistently look perfect in...

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it... this isn't effect I use nor will I ever use it, as I'm a purist and I am almost strictly a card student... I was just messing around in some down time from a vocal rehearsal. Still, that's no excuse for any mistakes I may have made. I never noticed...

Thank you for the feedback... unsure of which point you mean though. I did watch it over and didn't see anything that could constitute a flash.

Class is boring sometimes. When it's boring, I whip out the laptop and film magic videos. Here's a video of me messing around with Transit by Calen Morelli in the middle of class... I refuse to call it a performance, so let's just refer to it as a demonstration. Regardless, enjoy...

Here's my entry... good luck to all!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcyMeYu7cU4

The Graduate is just as strong if not stronger. Yes, the deck is masked, but it is done under the guise of reaching over the deck to riffle the front edge of the pack. And if done at proper speed, it is not suspicious. It's extremely strong for lay audiences... I've only performed it here and...

It is in fact public domain. There are numerous free ebook resources for it online if you take a look.

THE GRADUATE BY AARON FISHER The Graduate is Mr. Fisher's contribution to the world of visual ambitious sequences. Ten years in the making... you would assume this to be a piece of great quality. You would be right. A few weeks ago, Mr. Fisher released a demo video of The Graduate... a...

Thank you my friend! I'd love to hear some thoughts on the subject from people! I think it's very important.

I wrote a whole article on this topic on my blog. Hope it helps! http://themagicrant.blogspot.com/2010/11/hand-care.html

Hello everyone! I recently was interviewed by Penguin Magic on the topic of magic and theatre... as a magician, actor, and scriptwriter this is an area of great interest for me. Here is my interview: http://blog.penguinmagic.com/penguin-magic-exclusive-lights-camera-kras I'd love to...

Thank you for your thoughts... the video itself was posted for last week's Saturday Night Contest but that's beside the point. I appreciate your criticisms as this is still a major work in progress and I'm workshopping it constantly... adding in more magic moments, etc. All of your points are...

Great contest! I cut it close when I only saw this thread at 10:30 but I rushed and this is all I could come up with. Universal Silverware: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDgtcMmgw6A Best of luck to everyone!

Thank you all for your thoughts! In regards to the post about walkaround, I would NEVER use this in walkaround. I grab a deck, some elastic bands and I'm set to go. This effect is more or less a performance piece suitable for parlour work... As stated in the YouTube description, it's a concept I...

Thank you for laying this out for me... It's much more clear and I now understand where you're coming from.... I guess the stage is the place for my stage voice... Not the camera :)

I'll speak a bit quieter in future videos then.

It is speaking normally.... Just using a louder voice, which I usually do in performance and probably shouldn't do for camera in close range.
