People generally are looking for something that they can do in an instant show their kids and then teach their kids. Unless they have been initiated they don't keep their mouths shut! Even then it's coin toss :/ I'd give them enough to fool their friends and that's it. The piano trick would also...
Sorry dude I tried to be as complete as possible there's just not enough room :( I'm not sure why I didn't include it. I think it falls into the larger effect category. It's a utility move that can be used as a color change.
That is a great post Craig :) I'm curious if this is a book for laymen or beginning magicians.
If it is for Laymen I would stick to a flip flop force, cross cut force and tricks involving a key card. Tricks like cops and robbers or the reversed card where you face the bottom card.
If it is...
Hey, all I'm just curious. There have been quite a few threads started from new artists ready to put a new trick on the Wire. For many of those it looks like they will never be published on the Wire. At first glance I assumed that it was just taking a long time to put the trick together or that...
Hehe it's interesting you bring that up. I've just started to dabble in rubber band magic. It's something I've avoided in the past and an finding a lot of great material out there recently.
Haha it's on the Wire and it's on Theory11's homepage still so although it's a bit redundant, here it is :)

Looks pretty cool dude :) Not really my style but it looks good :)
It sounds like you have a handful of tricks try stringing them together now into a show. If you were called on to perform for 100 people what kind of an act would you do? If you got a job at a restaurant what routines would you do? Try routining and putting things together now.
There are some...
In royal road this is how an ambitious card trick is explained. That the magician convinces the spectator that the whole deck is made up of one card :)
That's very clear toby, I'll see what I can do :)
Mine's been on there since November and I've yet to surpass the 50 dollar minimum :) I'm glad for the exposure and as it turns out some of my other creations that I originally thought would be on the Wire are actually going to be put out on DVD.
1. All shops need a secret sharing area where the demonstrator can take the customer aside and help them through a gimmick or effect.
2. Shops need to have a video screen connected to the internet that is ready to show the trailer of asked for effects. Demonstrators cannot do everything, they...
I remember Brett Daniels performing on America's Got Talent. He performed his Marilyn Monroe illusion. He uses a fairly state of the art "new" vanish to achieve the effect. I remember Pierce Morgan tell him it was an old trick. It baffled me a bit at the time but it just goes to illustrate the...
I really don't think that a shop like that exists. When I lived in Montreal and Ottawa there were a couple of good magic shops but I don't think they supplied custom decks. The best place to get custom decks is in Vegas at Casinos or at a magic convention. I'm not sure if that helps.
When you create a thread it gives you the option to make a poll at the bottom of the page. After you submit the thread it will give you the options you need for the poll.
