I was listening to the Andy Nyman podcast that was just posted and it got me thinking a bit. There was a question that had to do with the sciences explaining our magic. In Nyman's magic the audience attributes his magic not to mystical magical powers but to some type of "science". Nyman explains...

The spectator reactions are great so you're doing something right :) It's tough to give too much feed back on your performance because the spectators steal the show. From what I can see you look like a really engaging performer :)

I know it's frustrating but out of the small handful of submissions I've personally submitted the ones that tend to take the longest are the ones that have the most feedback. With my effect Unbuttoned it took a bit longer to release because after a little over a week I got it back asking to make...

I don't see the finger switching manipulation but it does look similar to Marcus Eddie's. If the method is similar at all it wont make it through. It looks like it is missing something, like a sleight that you'd use for a larger routine.

I also don't mean to be negative. I just think that it is interesting to notice the similarities and differences between the arts.

I didn't mean to lump all magicians under one umbrella. The title of the thread might be a bit misleading in that regard.

Who has inspired you in magic, magicians or otherwise?

Many of your effects tend to deal a with the psychological and mental. Where does this approach come from?

How did you get started in magic and mentalism?

It looks great! I would assume that its pretty much the classic stuff with his added thoughts and subtleties. He is very smooth :)

I just read the quote and I agree whole heartedly.

The Quebec accent is great in both English and French! Feel free to PM me with what ever you have.

Hanson Chien uses English subtitles in his download even though he speaks another language. I'm sure you could do the same. I lived in Montreal for a bit more than a year. I'm a native English speaker but I am getting my degree in French education. I would be more than willing to translate...

Copperfield bought the trick from its creator Kevin James. It is unethical to perform any magic from someone else without purchasing their effect or receiving their permission to perform it. If you were to perform a play without paying royalties to the company who produced it you can get into...

I don't have any ring material but man what an audience. You'd think Chris polishing his shoes by the kids reaction. I wish people didn't have to hide behind their kids to enjoy magic.

Sometimes it depends on the venue. If I'm doing stand up it's very easy for me to get through the whole act without having anybody examine anything. People tend to be respectful when it is somewhat formal like that. If I'm doing walk around it gets a bit trickier. If it's possible I try to...

If you wanted to be more up to date he does have 2 interviews that were just published in Smithsonian they talk a bit more about the Magicians view on things though.

Yeah I just came from a gig where I used a deck of Sentinals. I had no problem at all with passing them off as a regular deck of cards. So much of it is in the way you perform. Laymen who don't play poker will go to the dollar store to get a deck of cards. They have dollar signs on the back and...

Wow! That really went down hill fast! I've been a member of a handful of forums and I like theory11 because we can usually avoid confrontations like this. Anyways, if you're looking for some thing that is free and totally above board check out the free section at the Wire or search...

I would argue to create a new effect or presentation is very similar to writing a song. Yes there are differences but I believe that there are many similarities. I think it is interesting that a budding guitarist can be writing their own song yet there are those who almost look down on a budding...
