It's apparently awesome - I'm really looking forward to seeing a clip. D.

It's on magicbox's site also, they're the guys producing the effect not penguin. Penguin are just selling it.. I don't know the guys at magicbox, but they're probably shifting some old stock... or maybe D released through magicbox before and they decided with Daniel getting all the attention...

There's nothing wrong with using powerful or interesting names for effects, You want your effect to be on everyones lips so you put time and effort into coming up with a powerful, solid, catchy title which has at least SOME relevance to the effect it describes. Stigmata for instance - when I...

Memento is an old effect that Madison has re-released as far as I'm aware. It's a really cool effect, there's a demo on the MagicBox site, but it's not by DM. I'm hoping he's still going to put HIS video somewhere! D.

Jesus is correct - The gimmick is VERY sturdy. It's a great effect, once you get the system down (it's not difficult), it's a really quick effect to pull off so you can really put alot in to the performance aspect. I'd definitely recommend it. D.

Another cool effect from Lloyd! I like it - Hoping it's going on the DVD! ;) D.

Change is a genuine colour change which can be done face to face. Imagine if someone had just invented the shapeshifter... I imagine people wouldn't believe that could be done in real life either!

Hey Guys, Just to let every one know, My new book is out soon. It's available to pre-order here: http://www.magicshop.co.uk/p2745/Proximity_Effects_(Book)_-_By_Dee_Christopher__(Coming_Soon)/product_info.html It'd be cool to see any reviews up from people that grab a copy. Orders are...

Maybe consider the idea of using a gimmick on the bottom of the box, something as simple as the bottom panel off of a another deck and playing around with that. Essentially so you can show the card pulling through. If you cut it in half you could make it look as if you were pulling from the...

It's a fantastic book - I bought it a while back and it's a great starting resource if your interested in muscle reading. It's 2 books in one also, the second of which is a much older but just as relevant text. I definitely recommend you pick this up while it's still around! D.

Marc's a really great guy - Very, very talented! I've started working with him over the last couple of months and he's CONSTANTLY coming up with new ideas to make stuff better. I'd highly recommend going to see his lecture and you should all definitely check out his latest product "Cap-It!"...

When it comes to checking if a method has been published before, the best bet is to get in contact with a magic librarian. In the UK, the magic circle has librarians - I'm guessing the castle does in the states also along with a lot of magic organizations. Alternatively speak to as many very...

I'd recommend it - even if you don't perform it in that instance it's something you could do another time. Either way it's a great watch and teaches some cool concepts. Cheers, D.

Hey Guys, Me and Lloyd have been talking quite a bit via email over the last few weeks about this release and I can see it going very well. The Company he's in talks with are very cool guys who are right at the forefront of the UK scene and have made a big impact internationally also, so rest...

Hey Shane, Good idea for a topic! I tend with my walk-around routine to walk up with a smile and intro, though my performance has some serious elements to it, I think the value of a bit of humor of even just smiling is incomprehensible! I start with an effect called Bang-On by Marc Oberon...

The idea of the 11th theory is explained in the preview video or on of anyway.. however if you look at the bottom of this page where it says: "What does Theory 11 mean?" it says: "theory11 is a group of 11 individuals united in a strategic alliance under one goal, one mission, and one...

It's going to be a 2 DVD set, one dvd of flourishes, one of magic so it's going to be really good. From what DM's told me it's been a pretty freestyle project so expect some crazy new stuff! D.

You'll find many more contacts in the industry being a cool, respectful young chap! If you need any advice or help in moving forward in performance or creation or getting out there speak to people in here or the cafe, people will be more than happy to help. PM me if there's anything specific...

Think about maybe using a deck shell - You could then keep the outer deck in full view and switch the inner 2 when you need to. The Tenkai switch sounds like it could work, You'd have to really watch your angles though. D.

BlackPool Convention is in BlackPool here in the UK - It's a big magic convention with lectures and a big dealers hall, thousands of magicians attend every year. I'm meeting up with a fair few people there, but I'm always up for meeting up with new people! D.
