Haha love RD's reply! I showed the trailer of dresscode to a coworker, and he also gave pretty much an exact method. I just said "But he takes the jacket off" and he just totally scrapped that idea and was left befuddled. It's great how one little thing can completely throw someone off. If...

Got it, so besides double lifts, swing cuts, and basic color changes, everything throughout the effect needs to be our own. Thanks! Jacob

A quick question regarding the teaching in the video itself. If there is a move that has been published (like Eric Jones's "eclipse") and it's in the effect we create, how does that work? Obviously credit will be given where credit is due, but do we need to contact that person and get direct...

So I got "Sponge" from Penguin magic, and I learned vanishes, productions, steals and the like. I was wondering about other sponge magic, like growing ball outdone, ball to cube/bunny, ect. I want to know if these things (with a little tweaking, possibly) can flow into each other fairly well, or...

Uuuuhh, yeah. Big boo boo. On Ellusionist (if that's where you picked it up) It even says it's not a beginner's video. Try and get BoBo's modern coin magic to start off with, then go to Sick. That's like having the Trilogy be your first card experience (it was mine, waaaayyyy over my head) Good...

I was told not to price yourself in two ways: 1) Don't underprice yourself. 2) Don't undercut others. Rick Everhart told me the second one when I started asking him how I should price my shows for kids parties and the like. He said if you start undercutting other magicians in your area, they...

Yeah the price is a bit of a turn off, but if you have the money for it, I would buy it. Jacob

Repair is basically a popped and restored balloon, and a pretty darn good one at that. Let's get the deets: Method: The method is very clever, when he began explaining it I thought I knew it from there. I didn't. It's really simple and quite genius. You can carry the "gimmick' with the...

THAT'S SUCH BS!! WHY WOULD SOMEONE BE SO SELFISH WHEN GIVING THE JOY OF WONDER AND AMAZEMENT TO OTHER PEOPLE? I DO MAGIC ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS, AND NO OTHER REASON! THIS THREAD IS RIDICULOUS! Just kidding! Did I have you going? I totally agree, I believe most magicians are attention...

Gotcha. Well thank you for all the help, and for putting up with my inquisitive ways haha. Jacob

Wait....all this and it's only 25 bucks?! Did I see that right? EDIT: Just bought it, how long does it take to get to my email? Jacob

Alchemy by Ben Seidman looks muuuuuuch cleaner and is cheaper. Just sayin. Jacob

Some reviews were bad, others good. Anyone have any experience with this? http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/2475 Jacob

Ok, so with them seeing the gimmick in the very beginning, it must be a very natural one then, correct? Also, what is the difficulty of this effect? It seems very self working, or does it require a little more dexterity? Jacob

I do, actually haha. So the photos, they are supplied, correct? If you want to make more, do I need a polariod camera now? Or do I order refills? How do I get the initial images (i.e, an unblown balloon) on the photo? (Don't say if it's exposure, or just release as much as you can.) Also, in a...

Is there any set up/clean up? Or does the gimmick do all the work for you? Also, in the youtube video towcheeze just posted, he says each effect is accomplished with a different gimmick? Did I hear that right? Or does the one gimmick need to be modified for each different effect? Jacob

I don't see why not, there are plenty of people who are interested in geek magic and don't know where to start, or just haven't been exposed to it. Go for it if you see fit. Jacob

Possibly, but that may be hard to come by. I'm in a restaurant twice a week every week performing, plus I've done fairs (doing one tomorrow actually) and other events. However, I don't have video clips available of those because filming during that is near impossible. Yes I'm not the most...

As for videos with advice on misdirection, performance, patter creating, and so on; what makes that person qualified to teach that? Unless they have a resume, such as Draven or Prace, how do we know that what they say has been proven through real world experiences? Will T11 filter through those...
