    I know Criss Angel made a similar TV spot and I could see someone like Keith Barry or Penn and Teller doing something similar.

    Help! The Invisible Deck

    I'm confused by what you mean by "isn't cheap". It's hard to get anything anywhere near as powerful as the invisible deck for 8 bucks. For that matter many custom decks can be much more expensive. Here's a link to where you can get them at Penguin magic, they are crazy cheap...

    Worst Way You Broke a Deck/Trick

    I bought a brand new deck for a competition once. While I was practicing I cut my finger with the cards and bled all over the deck. It left a blood stain across all the cards, I have a paper cut and had to use another deck with a band aid on my finger.

    Beginner to Magic

    I would have maybe 5 tricks. That may bee a lot at first. Get them down till you could do them with your eyes closed, get them down so that it looks as slick as you can. If you know five tricks well then that kicks butt. As far as sleights, it depends on your preference. Find a trick you like...

    Chair Test/Prediction

    I love Steinmeyer as well everything I've read of his has been very worth while. He doesn't tackle mental magic very often so I'm pretty curious :)

    Video Taping yourself

    I film everything I can for sure. I first pay attention to the happy accidents and the big laughs so that I can repeat them. If something came out better than my original script I'll rewrite it. With most of my mistakes I can feel which is the most pressing. If there was a major mistake I...

    Chair Test/Prediction

    So I've been researching and I have a few options. I'd still love to hear if Luke Jermay has any thoughts on the chair test but I can't find anything. I'd like top know if anyone knows about the following tests: Jim Steinmeyer's 6 Chair Concert from his book Nothing but Mystery...

    Chair Test/Prediction

    I'm looking at investing in a new book or DVD. I'm looking for something that can close my stand up show. I'm looking for something along the lines of a chair test or confabulation. My current show ends with a PATEO force (Pick two Eliminate One) and prediction but I'm looking to update it. I...

    Anyone else hate the Shapeshifter as a color change?

    I dislike the shape shifter for 2 reasons. 1. I dislike the corner discrepancy 2. Too many magicians perform it poorly I feel like it could be a really great change if the cards are handled lightly and it is used as a quick moment rather than a big focal point and I don't think it should be...

    An Example of the Disconnect Between Cardistry and Old Magicians

    Paper Cuts is by Chris Hestnes is a classic in the cardistry community. I have heard only good things about it from those who actually flourish. I was a little surprised when I read this review. It is very disheartening. I felt like the steps that cardistry has made to be taken seriously have...

    Coincidence - Possible Trick???

    When your video is accepted you have the freedom to chose when you release it. This means that you could film a quick explanation and trailer to check for originality. Then later upgrade the video. I have done this and I know Gerraint Clark has as well. The problem with this is that you have to...
