A new rubber band project more details to come.

Peter Turner is one of the young cool guys in modern mentalism. He is well grounded in the classics and understands Corrinda, Dunninger and Bob Cassidy but he also is able to communicate his magic to the masses. He spends a lot of time on a single magic effect in this lecture and gives a cursory...

Ask Loki Kross about this principle. I'm pretty sure he has a method for this. Jay Sankey has what he calls the wipe off principle for coins as well.

The biggest trouble with many PK rings is that they shatter easily. I'm sure that there is a high quality one out there somewhere but I haven't found one that would last as long as you need it.

I used to think it would be totally sweet if I could fly. I still think it would be sweet. The want to be able to fly, be super strong or psychic are all aspects of what made me want to become a magician. Now as a magician I can pretend like I really have super powers like Super Man, Captain...

Wayne released a bunch of projects in the past all over the magic community. It was around 5-10 years since he released anything new until last year, he re-released a couple of old products with new additions. I can't speak definitivley but I'd guess that it would be a little while before we see...

Check with a local theater and look into getting a Pyrotechnic license.

I need to echo Justin's sentiment: IT SHOULD NOT HURT! If it does you should not be doing it. This is a regular part of my performing repertoire and I do it almost daily, there is no pain involved. Like Justin said it may only work with one side, and it might not work with how your body is...

People react to my magic completely differently. When I'm trying out something new, be it coin magic, mentalism or otherwise, with an audience who is familiar with my magic they often say "That was okay but I prefer your card stuff." I take pride in my card magic and rarely have a card selected...

One thing that I have done is bent a coin and had the spectator hold up a finger to completely break it. I will be rad testing this with the Theory11 coins as well.

I can see this as being very possible but I have not yet handled the gimmicks that Theory11 is manufacturing. I as well as others have created a similar method but I am told that the Theory11 variety has cleaned up the method a ton. I have played with the idea of having someone else bend the...

It's by John Van Der Put that's all I'd like to divulge right now :) Do a search on Penguin.

Most of the stuff that I teach is puzzle or bar bet based. I perform the Bob Neale puzzle knot but I never teach a spectator how to do it. I will teach them how to tie a knot with one hand or show them if they fold their arms and then grab the ends they can make a knot.

...when you can't pa for anything because your credit card automatically pops into Tenkai palm.

This is called Shinkohs Twisting Arm, Mier Yedid is the authority on it. I just received Jim Steinmeyer's book Nothing but Mystery and it has 3 very cool tricks that you can do with a whole audience. The audience selects a finger on their hand, one the audience all randomly do the same motions...

Kyle and I have jammed on many ideas together over the years, we are good friends. I’ve seen Kyle lecture before and this lecture was on par with the rest. Kyle has worked behind the scenes with Justin Willman, Criss Angel, Justin Flom, Wizard Wars and Andrew Mayne. He has a show that he...

Will Houston is a knowledgeable historian and a talented magic creator. I was only familiar with his effect “Freaky” available on Dan and Dave. Will has been a magic consultant for a couple projects including the very successful film Hugo. He surprised and amazed me with his indepth magic...

I would say that you first need to learn the trick inside and out. Get it down to the point where you can almost do it without thinking. The more comfortable you are in performing the trick the easier it is to manage your audience and build up your presentation. When you perform well the...

There are a lot of guys that will tell you that 7 tricks is a good number. I agree to an extent. If you know 7 tricks well and can do them perfectly than you will be a step above most magicians. Personally I keep a Google Doc of all of the tricks that are in my repertoire. I also have documents...

Steven Himmel is a talented guy for sure. He shares some of his best magic here. All of the magic is practical and doable for sure and it is clear that Steven has used these effects for years. Flip Pit- This is a quick simple color change you perform on the top of the deck. I was surprised at...
