    How do I get used to cards?

    Get a good deck first. A new deck of Bicycle cards will make you feel like a pro immediately. You'll be able to fan and ribbon spread without any effort and it will give you a ton of confidence.

    Kids Magic Show

    Changes are good, I like the ideas for customization. Every venue is different and so you adapt. 52 Shades it's a tough act for kids to follow. For the same reason, is keep the chop cup rather than a couple and balls routine. While you're starting out I think you need to experiment with lots...

    Tryin to learn the Human Crazy Straw

    I mean it sounds right. It's basically that old spaghetti gag where you sick a noodle up your nose. This kind of thing could get really dangerous though. I'd make sure that you keep in contact with your teacher and all for more details if you are unsure about anything. If your unsure, then...

    Omni Deck Standing Summer Switch

    Yes it is, my mistake. I meant the Phantom Deck. That's his version of the Omni deck, instead of a solid brick he changes every card clear.

    What magic can you do under water?

    So, my favorite idea is this. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm6yCfUFxBZ/?igshid=ra867ywrqplx You wear rubber bands on your wrist while swimming, just the 2 and they are different colored. At some point you call your friends over and show them how weird it is that the water changes the rubber...

    What magic can you do under water?

    Yes! That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for! How great is that?!?! I remember going to a pool party as a kid wishing I could do magic in the pool and never being able to get it right. This is an awesome idea! I also, like the idea of using the water to make the magic happen. That...

    Who was discovered on the Wire/Marketplace?

    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...

    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...

    Building a crowd.

    -Have people hold things while you perform. -make a line on the road that shows where the division is for the stage so people know where to stand -invest on a sound system -a great opening trick is the balloon swallow, it's visible to MANY people. The hardest part is that it is tough to...

    Omni Deck Standing Summer Switch

    This is one reason why my preferred version is the Prism Deck. If you add 2 jokers and a normal card to the deck you can do the Omni deck without a switch. Put a joker and a normal card in the middle of the deck, then put the other joker on top. Perform a riffle force forcing the normal card...

    Self open soda can

    Patrick Kun made a version for Justin Flom at one point. I don't know if he has ever consulted for Yif but it could be similar to his creation. Patrick's isn't available commercially.

    An EPIC Walk - Basically, you take someone on a walk through the park, your yard, or somewhere else. You talk about how you want to try something with them that has to do with an article you have been reading on mind control. You explain that certain people are naturally drawn to certain objects...

    Invisible Deck Brainstorm

    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...

    Coin in bottle

    Prohibition is nice but it's a cap in bottle. It requires less of a setup than many coin in bottle effects.

    Real Psychics

    The amount of crackpot science used poisons the well pretty badly. The psychic stuff in the paper is not theoretical. The author is claiming that there is credible evidence for this phenomena and is asking for more money to study it further. Here's where he references a specific time when Uri...

    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...
