Hey Joel, sorry - I didn't realize that you'd reply on your own page :P You can check out www.DeeChristopherMagic.com for my stuff, but all the magic stores have copies of my first book Proximity Effects. Also have a look at www.24hMagic.com a new magic site I'm helping run. Message back to...

Yeah, Rich has some great stuff and is a great guy - Me, Sanders, Kasrani and Ben Williams at BP08...it was SICK. Extreme Burn also uses a little extra something which prophet does not, if you thought that the Prophet handling was easy, wait till you play with E.B. Both AWESOME effects. Buy...

Thrall, I can totally relate to your idea of methods just coming to you - that happens alot. However, you even said yourself, it takes time to tweak and perfect things, real life performance, study and practice. Even the simplest of tricks take a lot of work - changing a simple trick into a...

Thanks Chris - Appreciated! :D It begins... D.

I know the guys at iTricks very well, I'm aware that there are a few good news sites out there - iTricks being one of them. The big issue lack in sites like that is readable content. it's just a news site essentially, we're going to be pushing the feature and essay side of things heavily with...

I'm not quite sure as to what's difficult to nav. on the site :s There's the standard blog layout, a news tab and a reviews tab... That's all currently - It's not a complex system in the least. I must stress that the site has only been up for a little while, The content is sparse currently...

Hey Guys, Just a quick note to let everyone know about a new site I'm editing, working alongside Jay Crowe (JP - Creator of Water to Beer and Phork) and Liam Montier! (Cherry Cola queen, Liam Montier's Wicked World) It's a one stop resource for magic news, reviews and there are some...

CTW is the Dave Forrest take on the effect. D.

Magicbox here in the UK did a compition similar, they outlined an effect and asked their mailing list to come up with a solution which would be released at next year's Blackpool convention. I considered entering and came up with a bloody good method, but when you are given a week to design an...

I think that exposure line is great. "I HATE exposure. I'm going to go look up some new magic on youtube!" You don't have to be a comedy/improv teacher to note the value of that comment!;) D.

It's not too difficult, but takes a bit of effort - I did a lot of testing and research (as sad as it sounds) into the best way to burn a card for my effect Cinders... (check the site for details) Take your lighter and touch the tip of the blue part of the flame to one corner of the card about...

The key here is offer something different. Something your audiences won't have seen before. Come up with crazy new ideas, or present things in unfamiliar ways. I don't do too much card stuff - people know the phrase 'sleight of hand' and will use it at every given chance to appear down with...

That star trek image is amazing. Wow. This thread also is great - To those criticizing it, remember who the author is... There's bound to be SOME underlying messages throughout. If you can find the crazy hidden images on the T11 newsletters, I'm sure you can locate that! D.

What about people with crazy names? Or not crazy, that's not too PC, but unusual.. I'm assuming you'd have to have the person's name somewhere in the deck ahead of time if there's no secret writing involved, so performing for 'Mohinder DaNesh' might not go down so well? I'm quite intrigued by...

Aside from this thread, where's the link to get to said arena? Will there be something added within the media section? I had a quick look but didn't see anything... Maybe I've just been staring at this screen for too long and my retinas have been burnt beyond recgonition of anything other that...

That's far from exposure of the effect in question. I am VERY against exposure of magic on the internet and had a hand in closing one of the biggest exposure resources that plagued the net in recent years. The question that was asked was essentially how is one to locate the aces so quick...

He does cop the cards, watch close. From what I can remember anyway. He must have forgotten to mention this in the exp. D.

Maybe think outside the box a little, customize a pick of guardians yourself - age some, burn them, bleach them, i don't know - but be creative and have a play around! D.

Have a look at the casanova concept. A DVD from BBM. D.

Shouldn't be tough to strip out a card at 3rd. Just get a break under the top double and you could either side steal it, bring the top 2 cards to the bottom of the deck in a sort of pass motion or do like a erdnase color change to bring the double backer to the top. Should be pretty easy to...
