I'd like to see something from Lee, it's been awhile.

What you just said is what I have seen and heard from your videos. My point is that it is clear he is an inspiration to you, it is clear that you imitate pieces of him and his idea's. Sure, you're not walking around all leather clad and screaming your own name because you like the sound of it...

This makes me chuckle. Criss Angel had a special on A&E, who also produced the DVD, by the name of Supernatural. This special uses music that was written for it, in fact... it's the same music you are using for your "season promo". Now, I know that imitation is flattery and people can learn...

Speaking of DG, has anyone heard any updates on the DG Project Vol. 4,5,6?

Once your calluses form your fingers will be fine. You'll be able to play for hours without any pain at all. If you continue a schedule for practicing you'll keep the calluses, if you take breaks as I sometimes do with my travels you will have to work to reform the calluses. Once you get the...

I have to be honest fella's, every Kevin Parker effect that I have purchased has left my severly disappointed. Think I'll pass on this one and anything else that comes from KP. No offense bro, but I just can't stomach you any longer. John

I'm flying out to Phoenix this weekend for work and was wondering if there are any good magic shops out there. We don't have any where I'm at, so I like to check out the shops when I travel for work. So... anyone know of any? John

Entourage is a fantastic effect! Actually Gordon Bean is just a stud, you know, if you like packet tricks. In Entourage you don't end clean at all, but here is the kicker... I have performed this effect countless times and have never... ever... been caught. Never ever had the method...

I think their target market is magicians, not teens. I haven't seen anything "teen specific" in any of their advertisements. Aside from that, Underground is thrown around an awful lot these days, but to each their own. At least everything on this site isn't referred to as "Uber Cool". John

A few years ago I lived down in Kansas City and I frequented a place called The U.S. Toy Company. They had one of the largest magic sections that I have seen, not too many places around my part of the midwest. So one day I was making a purchase and the very good salesman coaxed me with the "if...

Would love to see your performance, is there a chance you could have someone record it. I enjoy seeing live performances over the solo flourishing vids. Sorry guys... peace John

If you can do the same effect again with a different method, then go for it. If not, move on with a "if you liked that you'll love this" attitude. Let's face it, if they want you to show them the same thing again it's probably to try and figure out how you did it. Don't give them the chance...

This makes me laugh. I'll explain. When my wife and I were dating she had asked me one day, "Why are all magicians white?" (I too am white as a pair of unstained Haynes, she on the other hand is straight from Africa by way of Ghana) The way she put the question to me was as if I was the...

Frosty, Never underestimate misdirection. If you move and act like your "dirty" hand is clean, then your specs will assume that it's clean as well. Be nonchalant and your golden, act suspicious and you will arise suspicion with your specs. John

Thanx for editing. Just because someone else has shared, doesn't mean anyone else should continue. Our art is art when the secret is kept, otherwise it's just a trick. No one likes to be tricked.

I'm going to play the devil's advocate here and back up Morgician. An example of exposure is quoted below. Believe it or not, but there are some folks out there who don't know how DoA is accomplished. Sure this quote doesn't go into detail, but it leads people in the direction. I edited the...

Check out Danny's lecture notes "NEXT" for a full routine with bands. That's where the jumping ring from band to band (shown in the previews for the project) is from. Awe Hell, just buy all Danny's stuff, you can't go wrong, he's good guy. Oh, his notes are available on lybrary.com John

Thanx for the correction Chris, I thought I might have the performer wrong. Criss did his thread thru stomach with needles, pulled 'em out his blow hole (belly button... if you will) attached to the string. Think it was his Halloween A&E special. John

Take it if you want. I'd never get a dagger tattoo, but was just throwing around some ideas. Thought a card stab ala tattoo would look pretty cool. Now, my mind is going to go crazy, thanx for the quick response. There goes any hope of sleep tonight. John

I'm eagerly awaiting my shipment of Tattoo Joe. While I wait... Can this be used in conjunction with a tattoo that I already have? For example... If I had a dagger tattoo, could I make a card tattoo appear to have been stabbed by said dagger tattoo? Just letting my wheels turn ahead of...
