whatever you dedicate the most time to, whatever you practice more, whatever you perform on a more regular basis, whatever you apply most thought to, whatever you execute with more conviction, whatever moves you deeply- that is what will be stronger my friend. i love and am very interested in...

cards... david acer. his style is effective in disarming you, when all you really should be doing is steeling yourself for a very hot frying! richard sanders. same as above. amaz-a-zing! greg wilson. a true original, and his work in other area's is just as flawless. benjamin earl...

five speed is great, but i would have to recommend the full book rather than one effect from it. invisible deck was a pretty good purchase. greg wilsons ring leader routine. the charming chinese challenge dvd is woth it even if you have the troy hooser book (take it from one who...

personally, i believe that if your personal performing style is affected by watching other eprformers, then you are still at the stage where you are developing a performance style, and therefore should not be working professionally. so it's not a huge problem in my opinion, if a few hobbyists...

'griffin under glass' is amazing, so cool. nate kranzo has a 'quickie card thru table', uses no gaffs or suplicates, and the work is reduced to only two moves, both easy and cool. relies more on conviction than method. C!

This is a big question, and deserves a size-relative answer. My favourite magicians would have to differ over certain area's- In terms of pure creativity, I love the works of Jay Sankey, Paul Harris (though i'm JUST starting to lose a LITTLE faith), Mike Skutt, Wayne Houchin, Marc Oberon...

I have a background in gaffing cards, and have made up gaffs for myself, and others for professional use. i'm in the UK, and i use a brand of non-water based glue called 'pritt- stik'. it comes in a tube and is very clean and easy to apply. best of all, it's very low maintenance, but really...

Essays and interviews with the leading lights of today's magic scene. Imagine... An essay on utilising misdirection to its full potential by david stone! An interview with Dave Forrest or Jay Sankey on creativity! Apollo Robbins on audience management, Joshua Jay on writing, Derren Brown or...

i do tailor everything i do to suit my needs, but notable handling changes of late have been my alternate handling for charming chinese challeng- this includes new ring on rope steals (original to me), and an alternate handling for the final phase so you can end perfectly clean. and i made a...

while i voted on the higher end of the spectrum, the only reason for this is... i read the question as being personal to the style you are interested in. so, the area's of magic i am interested in- close up sleight of hand and mentalism- would require enormous amounts of interpersonal skills...

the 'click' is a result of a warp in the cards. to treat it, bow the cards and spring them, riffle shuffle them, just do what you would normally do to break a deck in. let them sit for a while afterwards, as decks can warp due to humidity aswell, not just due to your physical actions, so once...

haha, i did actually use the bicycle clears for practicing riffle passing in the shower! haha, they're truly, truly awful cards. the guys at the magic box (newcastle bricks and mortar shop) said in a statement that they handled really well apparently, but nobodies owned up to it yet! C!

Hi everybody. i don't have a video, unfortunately, but i do know where you can find it to learn. it is published in penumbrs, no.8, which is available from MJM magic. if you google it, you shall find! i believe mr goodwins email is featured on the penumbra website for contact purposes, so i'm...

you can soften your own coins at home. if you get some steel wool and just rub a coin down on both sides for around an hour each, it will soften it alot. of course ,the more you treat it, the softer it will be. it takes time, and it's not a fun activity but it gets the desired results- it will...

Nabil is a very good magician, and he has impeccable chops. I haven't ordered anything through his site, so can't tell you any details as to the service, but the material, well if it's anything like his slightly older material, will be amazing. C!

Y'know, just because he is a pro and likes the idea of this product, doesn't mean every pro will! i made my living off magic for a while, it wasn't merely 'a few gigs here and there', and all i said is i do not think it necesarry to have my props strapped to my chest! Ultimately, your argument...

i got my rubberbands a few months back, from a big office supply warehouse shop. i got a big bag of about 150 bands in various sizes and colours, and they fit perfectly for any rubberband routine. Chr!s

As per my comments on Marlo. My apologies, i have not read anything by Marlo that featured the use of gaffs and gadgetry, so i must have made the assumption... Anyhow, Bill Kalush has various things published in magazines and i believe his inversion routine, 'the fidget card' is featured on the...
