The Surrounded version of Shudder is great, I use it loads. Also Bang-On is a great effect, always in my suit jacket. D.

Haha, well JP in this instance is Jay P. Crowe :P It's genuinely melted soft liquid - imagine breaking a thermometer and pouring the stuff out into your hand :P D.

Haha, That is EXPOSURE 101 up there - how could you?!?!?! Back to reality, I don't know of any videos, but seriously, imagine a coin in spectator's hand melting visually like ice to some mad mercury type liquid...And no...it's not mercury :P D.

I've heard great things about sympathy for the devil, plus Diplopia was great so I imagine sym. is just as cool :) If it's more of a cabaret sitch I'm not sure whether that kind of thing would be the best bet though, I'd go with some very simple to follow, direct stand up magic if I was in that...

Sounds cool man, I'd say maybe have a play around with some lighter mentalism effects - even with primarily a magic set a mind reading piece can go down really well. Or even TK, that can look like magic and holds mentalism qualities. Fall is a great effect, he teaches a walk around set up that...

Hahaha! What was that Godl3y post about??:P And to Shakutau - check out www.emagicsupply.com and look at the Destiny effect, some of Mike's recent work. Very, very well researched, cleverly thought out and great fun to perform when the moment is right!;) D.

Talking of memory, I have a great book by Harry Lorayne, How to Develop a Super Power Memory is great. Also, as far as Psyche books go, look at some of Jung's work - alot of his stuff is quite out there. Stuff like Syncronicity. none spring to mind, but I've a few books in my library on body...

I've seen the one that Sciffydof mentions, but I can't remember what it's called!!! John Kennedy has a cool effect called JUMP, you can make things jump basically - looks great with a pen. www.johnkennedymagic.com D.

JC Sum is very cool - He's got some great ideas, from what I've heard. I'm not really one for cabinet illusions and stuff, but his stuff looks pretty awesome :) D.

Great!:) Let us know how you get on at the show!!:D D.

You're right - I wouldn't dream of doing close up magic on a show like that - You've got an auditorium full of people to entertain. Then again, Uri gets up in front of huge crowds and bends a spoon...But not everyone can pull that off!:) I have a 40 minute stage mentalism act that I perform...

No, Maybe I wasn't clear - Of course the auditionary rounds will be televised, the primary meeting I have set up with the producers is not. As mentioned, I wanted to check out how they did things before getting involved as I'm still unsure as whether I'd want to enter or not. D.

Yeah, In response to both of the above, I wanted to check it out before committing to anything - It's a very mainstream show also, so I'm not sure whether someone like myself would be what they are looking for. I know a couple of people that have been on the show, some did well, some didn't...

Pick up Rehab by cameron francis from Big Blind. The DVD has 5 bonus effects on, I strongly recommend the DVD as I think half the value is in the bonuses! Rehab is a great TnR, but there's some nice routines scattered on the disc too. Also, check out Daniel's new book collateral. Awesome...

It mentions on Paul's page that the ones he carries are better than the standard one's you'd get at novelty stores, but I've not bought any from novelty stores so I don't know!:P D.

I got contacted by these people too - I said I'd go down and have a chat to the producers on the condition that it wouldn't be televised. They seem like nice people, so we'll see :) D.

There is a lot which could be transposed to walkaround, I wouldn't hesitate in getting the book! D.

Yeah, it is more of a stagey book, there is a healthy amount of genius in there - stuff that you wouldn't even consider. There is also though an amount of stuff that uses some techniques you'll already know, but routined in such a way or combined with other methods to make it impossible. There...
