Ormond McGill's Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnosis, Jay Noblezada's Penguin Lecture, but really a great crash course would be to attend hypnothoughts. It's a big time commitment and money commitment but for what you get for your money it is well worth it.

I teach middle school and am the advisor for our school's magic club and the president for our local magic club. At the school level it is not hard to create a club. To make it official at our school you need to have an advisor and the administrations permission. other than that you have to have...

Could I ask who made yours? The good ones and the bad ones? I know that Pete Biro made pair of sticks with an alternative method. I'm not sure where to purchase his version.

It's not Silent Treatment, it is a similar effect though. I made a mistake. There is a trick out there that works along the same lines as Kollassal Killer and Advocate. I'll see if I can find it.

I can see how it would be noisy. I feel like it wouldn't necessarily matter though. The tassels are moving while the gimmick makes noise right? If this is the case then I think as an audience I would attribute the sound to the tassels moving.

All that you'd have to do is have the instructions for the pool player written on the pad and the card would end up in your mouth. I may be thinking of a different effect but I'm pretty sure that silent treatment allows for ANY card to end up in your mouth.

For this particular wallet you'd probably need to load it from palm. To load the wallet while you are opening it is kind of bold, the idea is your loading motions need to line up with what it looks like when you open the wallet. I hope that makes sense.

Silent Treatment by Jon Allen Kollassal Killer by Kenton Knepper Both of these would work if I understand the premise.

It might help to have the wallet in a front pocket or, my preference for formal gigs is in the inside pocket of my jacket. The best time to load it is as you are pulling it out or opening it. Either way, there has to be a reason that your hand is going to your pocket or wallet.

Are you talking about videos that you download from this site?

Dani Daortiz is one of my favorite magicians. I would like to purchase his newish download Chaos and Order but I'd like to know what is taught. I own a few of Dani's eBooks and I don't want to wasting my money if it's just a repeat. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/6125#reviews

My personal thought is that it is a magical effect with a transparent method. I don't use it for that reason.

Most of the effects I know that involve a key in some way.

I'm not sure if it has a specific name, especially when given there are many methods to accomplish the force, with gimmicks, setups, and off the cuff. I might call it a riffle glimpse force among friends but I really feel like it is so old and common that many magicians would claim to have...

Man that's too bad :/ My ghost deck is pretty old too so that could be some of its problems as well. Here are some examples of the vintage markings depending on your deck. I think you're right though, I don't think they have all been marked. I love how they are completely hidden yet...

I really haven't had the same issue. My ghosts have clumped just as much as any other deck. The colors throw me off with the ghost decks and I prefer the story you can tell behind the vintage decks. Plus they are marked very clearly and the mark is hidden very carefully.

I have used it during a cocktail setting, in a walk around situation. Banacheck is a good start, you'll learn the basic handling for it. I use a Jim Steinmeyer routine from his book Nothing but Mystery. Morgan Strebbler has a whole bunch of ideas on his DVD Touched which I also use. Some of...

I want to say that I head Dai Vernon say that the best palm out there was the Erdnase Top Palm. I use a bottom palm and top palm from Expert Card Technique personally. Vernon teaches a nice cop as well that I have used on occasion.

The vintage deck is a pretty sweet deck, all of the cards are marked which opens the doors to a lot of great magic

That's awesome. Johnny Carson was famous for fooling magicians with tricks he would find in Royal Road.
