I feel like making a new routine isn't enough even good scripting. If the audience knows what you are doing something may be lost. The way I see it, Penn and Teller's cups and balls is still magical because the method is as beautiful as the original trick. Even when we can see through the cups...

Greg Wilson, Jay Sankey and Paul Harris have some of the best "Street" stuff out there. I'd make sure I was familiar with their material.

I think tat this is something that really needs to be talked about in magic. I think that we as magicians underestimate our audiences. The vibe that I get from many magicians, mostly the older crowd, is that it doesn't matter if you perform a trick that can be found in a beginner book for the...

Rian I always love your magic and that trick was sweet!

I would check out Jay Sankey's Inside Deception rather than Justin Miller's site

If you are looking for some very cool street style magic I would check out Justin Miller's Murphy's lecture. Most of what he does is card magic, with some other stuff sprinkled in. Justin Miller does a lot with Ellusionist and has since day one. If you like their magic style I'm pretty sure...

Man we were just talking about this in a magic club meeting. I saw Patrick Redford perform a one person version a little while ago but I don't know where he learned it. Come to think of it he does have an effect out called "Voices", it works with a voice recorder. It's a one man deal but you are...

Yeah, the reviews can get fairly expensive but if you purchase them month by month it's a lot cheaper and as far as magic goes this is a great place to learn. It takes me a few hours for each review. I watch the lecture once through maybe taking notes. After that I watch it again to review and...

The question still pops up from time totime, "Is Cardistry Magic?" The response by flourishers is usually, well no but it never was meant to be. There are still old guys out there that are anti- flourish. I don't understand why this still persists!

I just read a fun blog post about Steve Cohen and his magic. It is some good stuff to keep in mind even if this post is supposed to help people in business rather than magic http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/04/giving-away-a-magicians-secrets.html

Justin Miller is known for being a little rough around the edges, he is a very talented guy but his language may not be appropriate for all audiences. That said, if you want hard hitting, super simple, very powerful David Blaine style effects then this is your lecture. The methods are sound and...

I have seen the lecture and I have recorded the video review. The video will be published this Saturday but I'll see if I can get the written review done asap.

This sounds like the Zig Zag Lady. As far as method goes there is absolutely no exposure on the forums so we really can't tell you if the table is the secret or not. Most sawing illusions can be performed surrounded at all angles so even if there was a gimicked table you wouldn't have to worry.

What's the difference between this and Penguin's act generator?

I love Rick's Penguin tips. They are a ton of fun to watch.

I should take a more serious look at his channel. I just remember seeing Bizarre Twist and I lost interest.

I agree, the article did get me thinking. It also annoyed. I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed with the magicians that clearly lack or that the lady threw all card magic into the same basket. She says that she likes Guy Hollingworth and Pop Haydn, two guys that are renowned for their card work, in...

This feels to me like magicians over use a specific card plot then. I feel like a buddy comedy could be considered the Ambitious card, the Shakespeare play could be considered an Oil and Water and the blues songs could be compared to Out of This World. A card show completely made out of card...

I couldn't resist making a video response, it helps me get out my frustration! Haha
