Well, I feel magic and dramatic theatre are one and the same. Therefore, a dramatic production I feel should be a great educational tool for a magician. After all, it was Robert Houdin who defined a magician as "an actor playing the part of a magician." I hope that's reason enough.

Hello everyone!!! So recently, I've pushed my focus more towards other aspects of theatre... I still love magic but am focusing on my acting and scripting abilities right now. Recently, I was cast as one of the leads in our submission to the Sears Drama Festival... The play is student-written...

Thank you Mr. Henderson... I appreciate comments with content I can actually work off of. You make an excellent point about my scripting... I can and will change it. As for the video, I will remove it soon. Anything less than my best effort is not worth posting.

I have watched the video over and over... I still see no flash.

I don't understand what flash people are seeing... The second phase is angle proof and there isn't anything TO flash.

Mr. Draven, I appreciate these thoughts... you make an extremely valid point. The only reason I use such a presentation is that I really dislike effects involving directly cutting to two four-of-a-kinds... the second reveal is, I feel, surprising at first but when considered carefully, it's...

Hey everyone! Here's a quick performance of a visual ring and rubberband routine by Bill Kalush, from Richard's Almanac. Enjoy! Comments are appreciated! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB_E9iHHehw Michael Kras

Here's my performance of another great effect from Richard's Almanac. Comments and criticisms are helpful! Thank you, and enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNAeF36BfjA Michael Kras

He's my performance of a great Jon Racherbaumer effect from Richard's Almanac. As always, comments and criticisms are appreciated! Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXS_UgHEjng Michael Kras

Okay, it's not magic, but it IS theatre. I feel it should count... If not, please do not hesitate to delete this thread. So, for my drama class final exam project, I used an original play of mine called The Confessional and performed the piece for the first time, today, in front of a full...

The effect definitely has some cool features to it, but I admit there are also a few cons to the effect... I still use it a lot, because I feel I've got it timed well enough to be at a maximum deceptiveness, but the fact that it has some noteable cons and the fact that it's simply my variation...

I know exactly what you're talking about ;) When this originally was around in print form (I think it's floating around in an ebook somewhere) I included numerous ways to end it, so that might help.

Hey Guys, It's been a while since I last posted a legitimate magic video, so here's one now. Ripped At The Seam is a torn-and-restored card effect using only one card that is based on the Paul Harris effect "The Ultimate Rip-Off". This effect will appear as a special bonus to people who...

Feeling an abnormally sharp pain as you perform it, then removing it with a slight bloody residue... not going to say it hasn't happened to me.

I haven't spoiled a thing.

I think the fact that the music swells at a completely insignificant moment in the effect is what makes the video so confusing... I had to watch it twice to even understand what the effect was supposed to me. He didn't do some sort of funky change, he merely turned the deck over.

With H1N1 and how terrified I am of it, if people ask me to examine my props, I tell them to $%^# off. Ok, not really, but I don't want people touching my stuff at the moment, so I so stuff that requires little hands-on work. No more spreading for card selections, in other words.

Books are pretty much all I buy... it's where nobody else looks :). It takes a rare, special kind of DVD or single effect to tickle my fancy.
