I think what David meant was that he doesn't care what comes out each year. He pays attention to the tried and true

I just sent you a PM that should explain where you can find the resources to perform those feats.

Yes, you can do those things but the forums aren't the place to discuss specific methods. I'll pm you with some details but I wont be revealing everything.

Genii has a magic wiki page that is good and open to the public. Dennis Behr had the conjuring archive. The fullest is ask Alexander. It is a paid subscription.

Wow you handle cards really well. That was a really fun routine and it surprised me. You have a habit of fiddling with the deck a bit but man you definitely have chops.

Make sure that all of your magic can either be performed over and over or have an instant reset. When we perform for family and friends we often set ourselves up for one trick and that is it. In a restaurant you will be performing over and over again so keep that in mind. The classic piece of...

I have performed on the stage in many scenarios and have just recently created a full stage/parlor show. I'm still learning the ins and outs of stage and parlor magic but there are a few things I can recommend. For stage magic a great place to start is with rope magic. I suggest starting with...

Page 12 (b) of could easily be used as a method for the first effect. Of course the presentation is the entertaining part. There are a few methods talked about in this step that could be applied to achieve this same effect Page 326 is the classic method for the card effect. Corrinda uses 10...

Let's not forget Levent! The sympatheic silks is one of the silliest "magic" tricks out there. It just doesn't seem very magical to me, the way it was presented though was a ton of fun and Jonathon Ross clearly enjoyed it.

No stooges are needed for either effect. A method for either can be found in 13 Steps to Mentalism by Corrinda. If you are interested in this kind of magic then check it out for sure. Mentalists and magicians alike rarely use stooges in magic. Some do for sure but for most it seems unethical or...

True, I still would like to give the artist credit and support

The load isn't taught in Bobo's :( It does look like he has routinined it as part of his muscle pass routine, not a coins across

I LOVED the episode, it was probably the best I've seen so far. I love Ben and Levent's routines as well as Blakes and Joshua Jay's. I have seen Josh perform that trick before and knew that there was not a switch so it really threw me off when Penn started to suggest it. I think it confused Josh...

It is taught on his Murphy's Lecture

Based on a previous post I might check out this: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/2690 I always like to look for multi trick DVD's wit a lot of content. If you don't have a Jay Sankey or Greg Wilson DVD then you should check them out for sure. All of Theory11's products are pretty solid as well as...

Good question, I want to say it is on Cultural Exchange by Appollo and Shoot.

Mark Wilson's encyclopedia of magic or Joshua Jay's Encyclopedia of magic would be where I would start. David (Reality One) made a post a little bit ago with what he'd purchase if he only had $50 and I think that has got to be the best use of that money all written down in one place. For a...

Yeah, I thought about that. Why would I chose double cross over the Sans Minds Sharpie?

Are you familiar with the bowling ball from briefcase illusion, the 8 foot straw production? There are trick guitars and trick briefcases out there, and if I wanted to pull a sword from a purse I would opt for a gimmicked sword rather than a table. There isn't really just one method out there...

Have you checked putt any local magic clubs? Or magic shops? New York has a huge magic community! Especially when compared to other places in the country. Take a Saturday and head over to Tannen's, talk to the guy at the counter and ask who's around.
