Oookkaayy. My performing persona, or character, is very much 'Me'. I don't affect an alter ego, I have a very laid back conversational style, and I think that it is recognisable to the spectator, putting them at ease. My initial focus is to connect with the audience, but to do that, I really...

I too, can attest for 'Altered's awesomness. It is a very special coin bend, it really showcases Dee's ability, from a creative perspective. I've worked with all of the elements of the effect and method seperately, and had never considered combining them. This is an amazing effect. I've...

i don't own the code, but I have seen a lot of ZK's work, and he is by far one of the most creative card magicians in terms of quirky sleights, cool handlings, right now. CL

Hey Katie! Heard Dee recently explained the joys of the crumpet to you?! The humble crumpet... so... awesome... Thats all! CL

Don't take things so much to heart, mate. I have no doubt that morgician and Raf were only trying to nudge you in the right direction... CL

Well, i'm at work too. I'll drop by at 10 ish (my time) tonight, see whats shaking. Peace bruthaaazzz! CL

Shade is amazing, a pretty bad film but some amazing scenes with cards. Paul Wilson did the opening scenes and shows off some awesome switches and changes. Illusionist by Clive Barker is a pretty bad film, but they filmed a few scenes in the magic castle, so it's worth a watch. Smokin'...

Well of course, y'know, it's a hard price to pay, but... haha. shoot me a PM just before the next chat, and if possible, I'll play! I have A LOT to say... CL

Precisely. And thus, I feel I may just have to keep my nose out of such business. CL

I don't know what type of bottom change your working with now, But mine's a switch of one card for the bottom card of the deck, rather than stealing a card from a double. It's basically an application of Raley's 'Strange change' which was published in Josh Jay's 'Talk about Tricks' column in...

I would perhaps take part if it was a more convenient time at my end. The UK has quite the time difference. For instance, It's 1.50PM here now. CL

Extreme Burn comes with a selection of different handlings. You could do the original change, then perform a slower change as an encore, where t he transformation is alot more magical rather than sudden and startling. Basically doing the same effect twice, but the second part would strengthen...

Hey Cushing, hows it going man! You should check out Greg Wilson's Three card monte routine, it's amazing, and has alot of magic popping around th routine! I have a really slick bottom switch on the go right now, if I ever see you at the magicbox I'll show you what it looks like! CL

Wow. I've answered this so many times, but the story always seems to be farther away every time I approach it. Basically, I got started after seeing one of those cheesy 'Greatest magic trick countdown, ever!' type of shows (I had always had an interest in magic, and can still remember being...

Your friend can get Sankey's 'Revolutionary card magic' from www.magicbox.uk.com. This is a contemporary DVD that teaches the basics as well as some very cool quickies. The magicbox is my local shop. Very reasonable prices and a great range. CL

In my humble opinion... From the description, I was hoping to see you performing on the streets. I have a low tolerance for magic video's that are filled with 2second clips of colour changes. If you put the change into the context of an effect, okay cool, you're using it for what it was...

My Bad!! Sorry if I came across like a dong! Yeah, did you get your problem sorted or are you still struggling? CL

OR! You could buy Nate's effect? The big push, am I correct? Nate;s a friend and a good guy, Not to mention a brilliant magician and flawless teacher. CL

I've not seen the set, but Wesley James has some serious chops, so I'm surprised to see such negativity towards his ability. Of course, I reckon the Ackerman set will be better (because c'mon- it's Allan Ackerman!), but I'd love to read a review of the James set from somebody wh ohas it? CL

Hey man, hows it going? I'm in the NE as well! Representin'! Anyhow, I think that you're asking difficult questions. The fact is, some people can go through their whole career knowing ionly a handful of effects. Others (like me) like to lear n as much material as is humanly possible, haha...
