Sup y'all, There is more magic online than ever before but when I look at magic online I see a lot of repeated material. I'd love to see video that you feel like is rare of magic. Let's share our favorite videos of magic tricks and routines that no one else has seen! I chose this from Paul...

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...

Hey guys, this product is definitely one of a kind and totally free. Franz Harary has put a 360 camera in the middle of his stage and filmed his entire show! This week he released one video covering 2 of his illusions. He's included backstage footage, behind the scenes views, and a director's...

I love magic parodies! I recently was shown this one from Rudy Coby. I love it! What were your favorite parodies of the past? There have been some good ones!

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...

"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...

I may be traveling to New Jersey in the near future. Who on the forums is from New Jersey? Are there any local clubs or meet ups that I should know about in the area?

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...

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...

I was around when the Wire was first introduced, and I know a few of you were as well. It's interesting to see how far it has come. Can you guys think of any big names in magic that were "discovered" on the Wire? I think I can think of a few. Dalton Wayne - Dalton is a creative magician who...

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...

So, the invisible deck is like the greatest trick ever right? Even if you don't think it is I'd love to hear your thoughts. What is the most interactive/immersive way you could do it? I've been really into immersive magic latley and have been trying to make my magic much bigger. I'd love to...

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 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...

A few days ago this article was posted: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/britains-talent-viewers-complain-over-16202045 It talks about how a few disgruntled people on Twitter want to ban card tricks from Britain's got talent. This came after a couple of extra boring card tricks on the show...

There's a new trailer that just hit. It looks pretty awesome in my opinion but I'm sure there are tons of people out there that hate it. 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...

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...

Hey guys long time no see! Arround this time of the year everyone is looking for Valentine's day magic I completed my list of magic that's good for meeting people and wanted to share.

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...

This question has been asked in many places in many ways. Most of the responses a thread like this gets are nowhere near creative enough. I want to hear your craziest ideas for magic tricks that you wish you could do. I'll give an example of some magic effects that I have thought of as examples...
