    Can you credit this?

    Crediting's a big deal in magic and it has been on the back of my mind lately. There's a ton of great magic that has been created by specific magicians that is miscredited constantly. Many of these tricks are sometimes called "old classics" when they are anything but. Here are some examples I...

    Should all magic demos include an unedited performance?

    I was pretty sure that this was common knowledge but some magic doesn't work on video. Right? Is this something we all agree on? It goes without saying, there's plenty of magic out there we cannot experience through video. There are lots of tactile illusions, taste illusions, or audio illusions...

    My Least Favorite Comment on Magic Videos

    "Easy" That's it. If you want to tell everyone that you know nothing about magic just post the comment: "Easy" under a video. It's idiotic. I'm seeing this more and more lately. When a young inexperienced magician sees a video that doesn't fool them, they write "Easy" to say that they weren't...

    Stooges and Camera Tricks

    I watch lots of magic shows. I especially love the shows on Netflix. Magic for Humans, the Carbonator Effect, and Death by Magic are my faves (I actually contributed a trick or two to the Road Trick with Adam Trent...not that it matters). Many of these shows suffer from the same problems. Even...

    Let's Talk About Stealing

    A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend a lecture by Cyril Takayama. It was amazing! But I found something out that was news to me. Cyril created this routine: Justin Willman gave Cyril permission to perform one of his routines, and Cyril gave Justin permission to perform this. They...

    What magic can you do under water?

    So, one of my favorite things to do in magic is to look at things that have never been done before. It got me thinking about underwater magic. Believe it or not, there's a bunch of magic out there that has been performed underwater. Houdini, did his escapes. David Berglas smoked underwater...

    Real Psychics

    Hey y'all I don't think I'm alone when I say that I am highly skeptical of any claims of psychic ability and that thus far it has been shown to be a complete fiction. I found this from 2004 where the military put $7 million into a research project involving psychic teleportation. It's almost...

    What is magic heaven like for you?

    What do you like most about magic? I've been listening to a few really great podcasts and interviews lately, and it seems like it's a reoccurring thing...magicians love to perform. Hahaha! That sounds obvious but it's not one of my favorite aspects of magic. It strikes me as odd that many...

Well, I'm not sure if you guys are like this but I find myself looking for material that makes me look like a Jedi OFTEN. It looks awesome, people can relate...

    What Can I do With Mnemonica?

    Let me preface this with one thing. Over my magic career, I have memorized six or seven decks of cards and have used many memorized deck effects in my working repertoire. The memorization isn't the problem, and finding material for the stacks isn't an issue either. I just don't get what sets...

    Bad Magic Advice

    A few things make me mad in magic. Well lots of things, but bad magic advice hits me hard. Some of this can be pretty funny, but other stuff can be pretty bad or just plain stupid. Here's an example of something from real life. A while back someone online was "helping" a new magician to learn...
