    This is awesome! I'd switch out the lemons for a couple lengths of rope. But man that is great!

    I think Sankey fooled Penn and Teller

    Jay Sankey has between one of my favorite magicians since I began in magic. Needless to say I am very familiar with Sankey's magic. So when he pulled out Card Board Contortionist on Fool Us I knew what was coming. Penn and Teller didn't. When Penn was explaining that he understood how the...

    Best Object Through Hand?

    My favorite object through hand is England's Penetration from Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment Book 2. It looks similar to your effect with a couple exceptions. Basically the magician drops a coin through the spectators hand, twice. There are no gimmicks, it is very easy to do, and the dropping...

    I would recommend any of Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment books, I firmly believe that any magician worth their salt will find something helpful in any of those volumes.

    Ditto! I know at our library in town they have Joshua Jay's Amazing Book of Cards which comes with a DVD, the Mark Wilson's Encyclopedia of magic, Magic for Dummies, the Klutz Book of Magic and a few DVD's on basic and intermediate magic. Any of these books would be great places to start, or...

    torn or torn too

    If you need help with Torn I'd purchase the effect. Danny Garcia is worth it! Torn Too is just a corner tear and restoration where torn is a piece by piece restoration. It depends on what you want to do.

    Any lectures you would suggest to buy?

    I've seen all of the Murphy's lectures. I liked John Archer's magic that could be performed on stage. You learn a few cold pieces of mentalism as well as a balloon sword swallow. Paul Draper: There's more mentalism here for large groups. There isn't a ton on this lecture but I have applied a...

    Does anyone know what these tricks are called???

    Great job breaking this down, I kind of filled in the blanks. It's the Under Pressure fan, and you meant to say paddidle, but this is probably a pirouette. Paddidle is an extended spin where the hand is helping the spin, the piroette is slightly older. It's really just the Larry Jennings...

    For those who have participated in the 'Fake Reveal' contests

    Here are a couple... "I gave this a thumbs up because I believe in my heart that this has to be satire." "I'm gonna miss those 2:15....." It's funny how many people think I'm serious "This is cool and all, but you ruined the feeling of amazement I had watching it. I know magic is fake, but...

    Blaine's Mentalism

    The revelation as I understand is a version of Mathieu Bich's Watermark, which you may find here on Theory11. While I don't know Blaine's actual methods and I don't wish to know them there are some fun psychological forces out there for playing cards as well as equivoque which gives a similar...

    Draven Reviews: The Search Engine Pen by Jeff Prace

    I don't see any problem with the name, I've been using the pen for a few weeks now. I perform it for the same audience that I would perform a hot rod with, so usually little kids and I never have had a problem. If you are worried about the word "Coogle" you can hold the pen with your thumb on...
