Ohio?!?! I wouldn't worry about joining the Magic Castle unless you know that you'll be in California often. If I were in your position I would join the local IBM and go to those lectures. Your local club should allow you to go to the magic castle anyways. There is a very strong magic...

It's important to know these names when you are making magic purchases or when someone makes a reference. It is important to know some of their credentials. For question #3 you're totally right wizzjokeribhim other acceptable answers include but are not limited to Mike Hankins, Homer Liwag...

If you hold the cards in your right hand then that is left handed. It's not bad it's just different. Eric Jones is left handed and I'm sure there are others as you can see above.

Here's a video of me doing a bottom deal presentation a while back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a_nNw9zq1s

There is some very good knuckle busting moves. Most of his effects in the book are just his takes on classics though.

I hope you get approved dude :)

Hey, just for the heck of it I decided to put together a super cool magic quiz! I'll post the answers sometime this week. This is going to cover fairly modern history, maybe I'll do a couple more quizzes that go back further. Post your answers below and don't cheat, there's no prizes for the...

Disneyland's attractions connect with you on an emotional level. Emotion is the key. I quote from earlier in the thread "My personal definition of art is this; the communication of how we feel". Disney inspires you to dream, it takes you to childhood, it makes a statement that we can do...

I'm excited either way, I wasn't disappointed with the Wire at all, it just took longer than expected :)

Yeah, it looks like we might have a repeat.

You might be able to go from a 5 to a 10 but I've never tried. The problem is that American money is all roughly the same color, where Canadian money changes from bill to bill. Also the size of the index is different than in US money and the ring may not look as nice.

We are talking about the same prices. 15 dollars for a half hour IS 30 dollars for an hour. Sorry to be misunderstood :) I meant to point out that you need to be providing more than the student can learn in a book or a DVD. Routining, scripting, character, audience involvment, and you need to...

For 25 bucks a lesson you need to be providing a lot! They could buy a new DVD every week they had a lesson with you. I took violin, piano and voice lessons as a kid through out high school. They were all weekly lessons and they were 7-15 dollars a week for a half our hour lesson. If you began...
