For me the "effect" is the main focus or outcome of the trick/routine. Take an ambitious card routine ending in an impossible location like a Kennedy box, all of the individual rises are effects in their own right but they are supplementing THE effect, which is a signed, folded card appearing in...

I'm struggling to believe it brings anything new to the table but that single restoration in a studio environment looks good, shame we don't all perform to cameras in a studio eh?

I would most definitely be interested in watching that video. My questions are: Do you feel it was beneficial to the/your business by hiring a magician or was it more like a treat for your customers? Were/are you happy with the results from hiring a magician? What do you feel you gained from...

They are red smoke & mirrors, they just look brown because of the lighting.

Another incredible video where I can't see a thing.....on top of that when you cut your arm it isn't convincing without sound, acting and blood. The skin separates like cheap elastic as well. Tricks like these are best received when the people watching the video can see real life reactions. I...

What a pointless thread.

Looks good, it's hard to tell without hearing him speak but I like his style.

I came to the conclusion that Americans assume the rest of the world is just like America a long time ago. When a dvd or trick says "you can find these at any local general store" that usually means it's near impossible to find in the UK so when it says $100 I'm expecting it to be much harder to...

Is it not something that a local pottery business would be able to do?

Me too, I did use it for a while though. Coin unique has been sat there for a while as well.

Thanks for that Mat, I might actually order that.

The video was really dark but from what I could see it looks pretty good.

Try sending them a tweet or email (if you remember the customer service address), they may be able to give you a direct link to your on-demand.

Dan and Dave announced not long ago that they are changing their forums (and clearly website) as it's not being used in the way that they want it to be. Sure, it my be the release of the academy as well but I think the site will get a facelift to fit the image they want.

Well, now I know why it's used on tv specials and isn't performed commercially. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I don't really agree with the talent show comparisons but know exactly what you're saying Benji. It is inventible that the person that books you has talked about what you showed him and wants you to do it/them again, and why wouldn't he? You amazed him enough to budget you in to his event. Do...

I think David Blaine was the first person I saw perform the trick where someone holds a bottle and it breaks/explodes in their hands after a short amount of time. Most recently on Dynamo's series the bottle breaks around the bottom, circular part of the bottle. I've only ever seen this...

I try to keep this place positive but I agree with Steve, why take the gig if you don't have material or know how to structure a performance?

Videos where I can't see what goes on are my favorite.

Over the years I've known a lot of professional, working magicians that say when first meeting someone do your best few tricks. I know that's not always possible for the people whos best tricks require gimmicks but I think that if you meet a potential client and show them your 5 most hard...
