Hi Guys, Is anyone going to The Session this year? I've bought my ticket and I'm practically there, I just wondered if anyone fancied meeting up. After all, networking and sessioning is how we magicians get anywhere. Hope to hear from you soon! Simon_Magic

I'm off to the session so far. In fact I'm about to write a thread asking if anyone else is going. Its an expensive January! I'm going to paris near the end and I have an audition for the House of Illusions in Spain. You signed up with anything for this year? Simon

Hi Matt! hope you had a nice christmas and new year. Just got some wedding enquiries so all looking good so far. anything happening with the pdf yet? Speak to you soon mate Simon

No matter how much we tell you, you won't be able to be a brilliant success overnight, as it happens differently for everyone. The best way I've found, was to ring up restaurants and ask them about events coming up. Also, although this isn't important but is a nice touch, learn how to model...

I don't understand why people would really care whether you use the same back designed cards or not. I use a propaganda deck and a bicycle deck and switch between them, and no one really cares. it goes along the line of them not knowing what is coming, so it doesn't matter whether you use...

Hi Will, Did I get mine in on time? I sent it in at around 12.04 GMT. I wasn't sure wheter EST is behind GMT or forward. Since I've heard nothing from you I'm worrying. AAHH! Its my own fault if i didn't get it in, but I would like some closure. Thanks, Simon_Magic

I thought the truffle shuffle was the dance that kid did on the goonies. I've never heard of it being used in magic before. If you like false shuffles, check out Dave Forrests 'Trickery' and '4X4' Simon_Magic

I respect both William and Cedric, as they have been performing this type magic for longer than me, so I would have to give in and say it is dangerous. I personally have never had a bad experience with this effect, and with so many geek magic effects, if you practice and in this case do it...

To be honest, I just did it. I had a book by Derek Lever on Geek Magic, but as I didn't and still don't know where the hell it is, I just filed down the point and shoved it in. I have never hurt myself doing this, as you know when it is going the wrong way. I use a hammer to put it in...

I would like to perform all of it. I've heard that for the stigmata on your hand you use your own blood, but I was wondering if I needed anything else and how tricky it is to get hold of. Thanks, Simon_Magic

Hi Guys, was going to get Wounded, but since I can't find a UK seller and I nee it rather quickly I am planning on getting Stigmatisms. How difficult is it to get hold of the stuff for the effects? Thanks, Simon_Magic

Hi Guys, I have a gig over Halloween, and I have to be an evil magician, therefore I am wearing a victorian costume and have a hat and sideburns. Leaving the funny costume aside, I really need help with what effects to perform. They want a mix of geek magic and Tarot/supernatural stuff...

There is a great stack by Liam Montier called 'Henry Sugar'. I don't know if you would call it a real stack or not as it is the only one I use, but it can be shuffled before the trick is done. He uses it to find court cards, but the last time he finds a pip card...

I'm in! Finally, a contest that people without the permanent use of a camera can enter! Simon_Magic

You'll have trouble getting the Watermelons and the Anaconda soundtrack as they're both sold out and the soundtrack is a download. Stick with simple things. Look at things that are out the box. Check out Sean Fields X-Rated. It is one of the best books I have. Simon_Magic

When I started out, I did 'the invisible deck' by Bob Long, 'Simon Says' which is basically do as I do, and the slip force. In fact, thinking further back I did a trick with the four Jacks in Four gardens. I've forgotten what it was called but I can still do it. I remember cause it needed the...

Just a little thing, as people want to see you the performer and not you being you, take off the pictures that don't look professional. this is the only critisicm have. all together its pretty cool! Simon_Magic

Hi Guys, For those of you who think this trick is too good to be true, this review is for you. I bought this trick mainly for the fact that it is a trick by Daniel Madison, and for some reason I've got all his stuff. This is a good trick, but not all of it. The version I made up to try...

Absolutely astounding! This looks like REAL magic. I love the fact that the ring just melts away. Can't wait to see you do it live! Simon_Magic

I love it when you're on the train, playing with a few colour changes and flourishes and someone watches you with their jaw dropped. I also love spending other peoples money on things I would like to get but don't want to buy myself. (joke) the best thing for me, is when you meet someone...
