    Do they make specific close up pads for black art? If so, can you post a link?

    The Island close up pads are, but they are out of stock everywhere. You don't need a specific close-up pad for some of this stuff. For instance Tom Stone has some work with black art and a close-up pad and he uses a normal close-up pad. https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/4924

    What's your favorite routine by Penn and Teller

    First question, is this Christopher? Did you change your name? Also, yeah I completely understand the need to get less physical. I love all of Teller's solo stuff as well.

    What's your favorite routine by Penn and Teller

    I love Penn and Teller and I find their magic to be exceptionally original. I wanted to jump on here and share some of my favorite routines of theirs, also I'd love to hear yours. I tend to like the more violent stuff. I left out the solo stuff though I love all of Teller's stuff as well as the...

    Ammar's Out of This World PLUS

    Jermay uses Michael Webber's version. He just uses 2 of his decks. That means he lets his spectator handle an $80 deck of cards! Super clean effect! Peter Turner's version uses just one of Michael Webber's deck. There's a moment where the spectator feels like they are in on it as well. It's an...

    How does Richard Turner identity cards? / (when someone else shuffles)

    The answer is, he doesn't talk about it. Erik Tait over at Penguin asked him specifically about several methods when Turner lectured. Turner quickly changed the subject each time. This seems to be one of those things he'd rather keep a secret.

    Can we all agree to stop doing this?

    Just to reiterate, I like Ellusionist as a company. They have some great magic! I bleeped the name to highlight the headline and keep the focus on that not the company. Also, Magic Flix looks fine. I know Rocco and Jeff McBride both have signed on over there. Outside of that I don't know much...

    Can we all agree to stop doing this?

    Yeah, so I really think that magic can be a great Valentine's gift, it can be something fun to do. I think girls like magic just as much as guys, and you could even do magic in a social situation and flirt a little bit. It's the creepy pick up artist thing that I don't love. Right now in my...

    Can we all agree to stop doing this?

    This is hysterical, and it's not a parody: https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Wkog3nyf4/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet Can we all agree to stop selling magic as a way to meet girls or guys? I can understand how it might be fun or interesting as an ice breaker but man this is too far. So is...

    Using the "correct" hand

    The main thing with handedness is that most playing cards are made with the values in the top left hand corner. This means that certain peeks, and moves only work one way. For this reason, it is helpful to experiment with the other hand. Most people while dealing hold the deck in their left...

    What does "Most magicians should have this in their drawer somewhere" mean?

    Every once in a while an ad mentions that "this trick requires a gimmick that most magicians already own". I've heard it said about a variety of different pieces of magic apparatus. So I thought we could make a list. What are the must-have pieces of magic apparatus that we could reasonably state...

    Funny or Not So Funny Screw Ups - No Way Out

    Hey, that's similar to my story! Though my rubber band never broke, and if they saw the cards they didn't make a big deal out of it.

    Funny or Not So Funny Screw Ups - No Way Out

    I did a high school late-night party at one point, and have always wondered why I was never invited back. I think the reason was because I tried to do Touching on Hoy like 4 times and it never worked... I did another high school party, (after a dance) and performed my own chair test. Everyone...

    Funny or Not So Funny Screw Ups - No Way Out

    At a small performance, for maybe an audience of 15 people, I performed a chair routine by Jim Steinmeyer. It was going really well until I folded the chair to show my prediction and revealed the most macho teenage boy as "THE ONLY WOMAN". Needless to say, none of the other chairs matched... I...

    Magicians I Hate

    This is a positive thread. I've wanted to post about this for a while. There are a lot of magicians out there that I really dislike. Part of me wishes that I could just write the list right here and complain to you all about them. Over the past couple of years I've been able to meet some of...

    Favorite Card Teleportation?

    Oh, Gone was awesome. Card to envelope held by the spectator. Yeah, Modern Transportation by David Regal is really cool.

    I’m going into hiding after this

    I like Erdnase, I like the lore regarding his identity. I think a more interesting person is Karl Fulves. I want to see an interview with that guy!

    A bit of a challenge

    One of my favorite presentations is Chris Phillpott's Horror movie effect. An image of Freddy Krueger comes to life. This will not fit everyone's style of course but it is fun! Classic Geek magic is interesting, Thread by Wayne Houchin, stopping the pulse, Blockhead, the Haunted Deck. One...
