Ok, this is bad... The problem with people referring to magicians as artists, and techniques as forms of art, is that people get the idea, "well... that may work for him, but this way works for me." All that leads to is being lazy and ultimately it becomes your cop out of much needed practice...

Not to knock on your success, but Clinical Depression is one of the most overly misdiagnosed conditions in the US. That being said, it is also one of the most over prescribed condition as well. And I do know exactly what I am talking about.

"Well hurry up, we've got to bowl" summed it up for me. And if it was your step dad that said this, then I wouldn't say the comment was "funny", I would say it is a cue to you to stop bringing magic to everything single place that you go. If you are going out to bowl, just bowl. If it...

You guys sugarcoat way too much. Magic isn't for everyone, and some little kid THIS oblivious to their actual level, ignoring everything that is said to them, thinking they are still fooling everyone, should honestly either just quit or... well maybe just quit. If this was the first I'd...

For other people who had trouble reading this, or for people who had to read through it 4 times to understand. Here is a translation: Let me tell you guys a little something. It is not the effect that plays well for Halloween, it is the presentation. If a more comical magician were to...

90% of what you post is posted to bring more attention to yourself. Rarely have you started a post or contributed to a post without the need to mention one of your gigs and how awesome it went, how much money you got, the next big gig that you booked, etc... You are graduating early? You...

You are thinking like a magician, and not a laymen. In front of regular spectators, ones who are willing to enjoy the show and go along for the ride that you take them on, those spectators will not suspect the use of a control if you do it well. Therefor any option where you do NOT have to...

In a sense, what you wrote was, "I got this and this, and I have done this and this, which most people can't." This is not 'just writing something to start a thread,' it is tooting your own horn. If you honestly wanted to simply start a thread, you could have simply said, "I have been...

man you jam packed that thing with sleight-of-hand. There are easier ways to accomplish this effect.

Now I am convinced that all you want is attention and recognition. Humility is the lesson that would probably help you the most in your progress in magic.

After what Jim Pace has done, I would not want to support him in any way shape or form. No matter how good the product, I choose not to be associated with and refuse to put money into his pocket. I am saddened by the fact that a well-known magician of his caliber and from my hometown would do...

Hmm, Casey, I kind have been feeling that you have have been abusing your forum admin privs a bit lately. Regarding this thread, it wasn't that big of a personal attack. It was more of a playful gesture that he made. In addition, I am not 100% sure it was you who did it, but your thread on...

I don't mean to sound rude here... but why? I enjoy performing for random people, if it just kind of turns out to lead up to it, but there is a difference between kindly performing for people and seeking out attention. Some of your stories sound more like the latter of the two. I had a chat...

It is a great trick, and for this version of the presentation, since it is FASDIU, it IS necessary to run through the deck. This is not really exposing anything. In any case, it does take quite a bit of practice to be able to do it that smoothly/ quickly under pressure. This is a very fun...

Front left pocket: Albino tiger Front right pocket: two blondes (twins) Back left pocket: full stage mirror system Back right pocket: trap door Inside left breast pocket (if wearing a jacket): CTW wallet and a few rabbits for "Rabbit from Hat" Inside right breast pocket: pack a bikes This is my...

A spread pass is not always superior. There is great motivation in the doing the cascade flourish. Sometimes it adds a very convincing "I nave no idea where your card is in this mess" to the effect. Watch Tony Chang's video on the Cascade Control on his blog. I also believe the cascade...
