Dan Harlan's updates in his Tarbell videos come to mind. He has 2 videos on slates and includes tons of updates and creative approaches. A few of his applications use white boards, but he's definitely not the first to do it.

That's epic! Yep, I still have and use all the stuff he has given away. Say what you will about Sankey, I believe he's created some amazing magic

Theory11 used to sell a deck are called Stingers.

Jay Sankey is one of the most prolific creators in magic. It's worth your time to familiarize yourself with his work. I won 2 of his giveaways before his You Tube channel was started.

Yeah, I've seen Arch Angels at board game stores and a couple other places. A few years ago we found Monarchs in the seasonal section of Barnes and Noble. That was exciting. This was the first big display I have seen and I happen to be wearing a matching t-shirt which was sweet. I was...

Truth! It is also different depending on the type of magic you perform. This guy is the number one children's magician in the state of Utah. He charges $250 a birthday party. https://www.utahmagic.com/ He works a lot and is great at what he does. A few years ago I decided that I wanted to be...

This happened at my local Target https://www.instagram.com/p/Bji9T1pF-EP/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1o2v4rjflfd78

I am now a full time professional magician and have been for the past year and a half. This is what it looked like for me. Magic has been my passion for 20 plus years. I got a degree and began teaching French at a Jr. High School. I taught for three years as a part time teacher. At one point I...

Christopher wrote the book on character (literally) his advice on the subject is always great. When determining a character I think a good starting point is what you like to do and see in magic. As you begin to chip away I think of it like a super power. It would be weird for Spiderman to start...

Yeah, I had heard some where that they were printed on different stocks. It must have been a reference to the pre 1970s changes or a limited run. The "in your head" comment is on point. It drives me nuts when magicians argue over 2 identical decks with different backs, claiming that one...

It's one thing to learn from another, it's another thing to be a cover band. I wish it was an Eastern quest for mastery. What I experience is young magicians asking me, "How did Dynamo do that?" or "Where can I learn how to do what you just did?" Maybe I should tell them how it works but I...

I just watched a David Blaine video where he has a request like that. The newscaster he's performing for says, "Could you teleport yourself to the Eiffel tower?". His response surprised me, "No, that's not me." We all get silly requests like that. Establishing yourself as something different and...

I getting to the point where almost everything I do is mostly my own. I either created it myself, I do it significantly different than others, or very few magicians perform what I do. It's an exciting place to be but it opens up to point of stress. Other magicians want to learn and do my stuff...

Yes, I do have friends in magic. It's kind of tricky though because it's tempting to go to a club meeting, meet a whole bunch of magicians that perform types of magic that you don't like, and to think that all other magicians out there stink. I just want to say that I have learned from many...

The audience forced to experience the impossible. In every other artform, unless they are being dishonest, what you are seeing you understand to be possible on some level.

I do, I have found a few great books there. Klutz Book of Magic, Mark Wilson's Complete Course, Cards by Josh Jay and a couple hard to find Karl Fulves books.

They are crazy impressive! It's an uphill climb though. Look at David Copperfield'flying. He takes more time proving than he does flying. I can't imagine he'd approve of Criss Angel or camera magic. If you ask someone(a lay person) to describe a Criss Angel trick half the time they'll claim...

I might be mistaken but I believe all Tally Ho decks are printed on casino stock. If that's the case they are probably more durable. I also love the look of the circle backs

I was being silly for the most part. I carry magic with me but when I am asked to perform I do a lot of propless stuff

I have to say, I was a kid when they were on TV
