    metal ring for rope routine

    If they are any good you might be able to make your own set of linking rings from them for a few bucks. Let me know how the quality is.

    What is the best dvd to learn gambling sleights?

    I wouldn't recommend Mechanic, most of what he teaches is taught elsewhere much better in my opinion. The stuff that he teaches that is unique and helpful can mostly be found on his Vimeo channel for free, so I'd check that out for sure.

    How can I speed up peeking long sentences?

    The biggest help for me has just been to be specific as to how they write. I might specify block letters or write something on the billet to give them reference. Personally I don't do any billet work or book tests with much more than a word. In my routine I use a dictionary so it is more...

    Best ring for magic?

    The perfect ring for me would be: 1. Fairly cheap- If it gets lost or damaged I want to replace it easily 2. It should fit one of my larger fingers- There are multiple routines out there that require the ring to go from finger to finger. As was said earlier you may even want it to be a little...

    garage sale

    I have had similar experiences and it is at casual event like a garage sale or farmer's market that you can gain a ton of experience. So I think your on the right track, even if you aren't as prepared as you could be there's no reason you shouldn't do it. When I perform at the farmer's markets...

    What's your "quickie" trick?

    I perform my color change "I Love Trains" and the Biddle trick the most often. I'll also do the Messiah vanish with a coin.

    How long did your first decks last you?

    Don't let them hit the floor, floor cards are every magicians nightmare. Keep your hands dry and it really depends on what kind of magic you are doing. If you are shuffling a ton or practicing flourishes then you will burn through cards faster than if you are working on basic effects without...

    What are the craziest magic costumes you've ever seen?

    Hey y'all, I thought it would be fun to go through some of the funniest magic costumes of the past. Understand that I have nothing but respect for these magicians and will probably never be half as successful as they are at our craft.

    Touched by Morgan Strebler

    I really loved this product. I think that I would still purchase Banachek's original manuscript but I have added 2 of Morgan's routines to my own touch routine. With the Guarded touch you give the illusion that you are able to touch someone on the chest whilst someone is standing in front of...

    Magicians: Effects and Professionalism

    I feel like this attitude is coping out. It's the difference between a cover band and an artist. There are very good cover bands out there but they will always be making a living off of someone else. I don't see much good coming from this, it does nothing to push the art forward.

    An Interesting Effect Idea...

    It sounds like a very powerful effect. Start brainstorming applications and presentations. When I first created my effect Electro this was some of the best advice I got. When you discover a new method you need to really run with it, se it upside down and backwards till you know it better than...

    Stigmata not visible

    I'd stay away from the real time predictions then. It can work just fine if you prep early and force something so that by the time you need to reveal it is fairly bright.

    Detailed Reviews of Almost Every Murphy's Lecture

    Eric Ross is of the Ellusionist, Papercrane and Theory11 crowd. He has made a name for himself at a young age continues to make his creativity shown. He performed on Ellen a few years ago and has consulted for many magicians. I cannot recommend this lecture for anyone under 18. Most of the magic...

    Detailed Reviews of Almost Every Murphy's Lecture

    Geoff Williams is a funny guy. I knew this before but this lecture was especially entertaining. Geoff is very talented, he is a well known corporate entertainer and even used to write for David Letterman. You learn a handful of material here that would work equally as well for close up parlor...
