Awesome, thanks for all the replies guys! Ice: Thanks for the reccommendation, and good luck to you too! Chris: Yeah I understand that, most coin magic I've seen (even ponta the smith) is just vanishes and reapperances. When done enough times, the audiences catches on. However, I see your...

Note: I put this here because more people look in general discussion than the coin magic forum, please forgive the purposeful misplacement. I plan to slowly start my way into coin magic, because the sleights there help with organic magic. One of the best coin effects I've seen is Digital...

Hey Zenn! I was really hoping you would reply, so thanks a lot. I watched your special needs video a while back when you first posted it, and it guided me in what to get for my kids show and gave me performance ideas, so thanks for that as well. This will be a walk around gig in a gymnasium for...

Congrats on further exposure! Although I'm not too fond of Roland's style of writing, your ebook is definitely up there on my next purchase list. Again, congratulations. Jacob

William: I'll definitely look him up, thanks for the reference. Prae: That makes a lot of sense, since who knows them better than the people who look after them? I'll talk more with the head guy today to get some more details. Thanks for the help guys! Jacob

Hey there guys! October 23rd I'm doing walk around magic for the Full Circle Program at the YMCA where I work. Full Circle is a program for special needs children to have a safe and fun place to be with friends. One of the head people came to me today asking if I could do balloon animals and...

Good story, I've come across a few people like that before as well. They seem like hecklers, but they are just joking around and really want to have a good time. I like the feint concept, very good improvising on your part to throw him off. It's similar to the "one in the pocket, two in the...

Yes, provided one quick additional clean up. Not hard at all though. Michael actually told me he does that for his show. So yes, it's possible. Jacob

Spongeballs will still work then. Maybe you should talk to the birthday person and ask if you can stand up to perform a "stage" like thing, keep in mind it will still keep the kids entertained, so they might go for it.

Waaaaaay too much playing around with the bag. What's the point in turning it over like 5 times? Raises some eyebrows, which is what you don't want.

Just out of curiosity, what did Penguin do before that was so "unethical" and "sinister"?

That was cool. If you can time the Hawk right (I don't know how it works) that would be really sweet. It all seemed fine to me, holding a deck of cards under a table isn't really an awkward. Check out Breach by Daniel Madison for maybe some more ideas. Jacob

To try and answer your question, I would perform spongeballs for sure. The pinch production is very visual, and it's very easy to just hold up the number of how many balls are in their hand to keep them following along. Plus a ball to bunny, square, or anything with a big finish will play very...

That's pretty awesome. I have some people (usually dads) try and show me an old coin trick or two, and then tell me how to do it. I sometimes act like I didn't know he had a second coin palmed or whatever, and say "nice." That's really cool though that you let go of being a magician for that...

Has seriously nobody's seen this?

That was an awesome video! I actually plan on making a "what can you do with balloons" stage routine for my school's talent show, and this would work perfectly. I also do balloon animals at the restaurant I work at, and when I pop them, people around know I messed up. So if someone heard a pop...

Awesome, thanks!

What else does a chop cup work with? Not an impromptu one, but one with the gimmick installed. Can it only work with the little ball provided? When I say work, I mean like make it "vanish" and what not? Jacob

I know nothing about creating websites haha, but I think it looks good. As for the "Lost and Found" video: I could barely hear you over the music, so I was a tad confused. Also, the cards when out of the frame which is a big no no in magic for the camera. I liked "Stolen" though, very nice. Jacob
