    Which emails work for The Magic Cafe?

    The cafe is best ignored and forgotten. Like Will said, the site just has a god awful design that looks like it was designed by a blind idiot. Hell, I've seen websites that were devoted to DBZ or Pokemon that were created by 12 year old's that were easier to look at and use than the cafe. And...

    Criss Angel... This Is How We Should Be...

    Using magic to get a kiss is fine if it's not a crutch. As for the Criss Angel thing, yeah, I'd rather not dress like a middle aged man who wishes he was 15.

    Walking Liberties

    I think the coins look OK, but if you really want your coins to look less suspicious. Then just use quarters, People see those ALL the time, so when they see you doing something with em, it won't look gimmicky, and Good news, if you happen to lose a set of quarters you can easily get a new set...

    How much should I charge?

    15 mins isn't really that much time and trying to charge 250 bucks for it is way too much. Like D ICER I would find out who wants you to perform, and then either simply use that time to just meet and talk to people. If it's the comedian, chances are he won't be able to pay you much. Most...

    All Street Self Levitation Sucks?

    Personally I think all Street levitation's are just kind of lame. The reason they "worked" for Blaine and Angel is because they had expensive camera men there and because Blaine pretty much edited the footage a bit, and Criss Angel pretty much paid off his stooges and paid for something over...

    Awesome Calendar Card Trick

    There is actually a better version out that doesn't use playing cards. It's a Diary effect, but instead it used places from around the world. A person would name their birthday, and then you would go through the diary and show on that date that you went to Tokyo for example. Then you would pull...

    Do magician's ever have a poker night where anyone who comes is supposed to cheat?

    No. I don't have to prove anything to you. Look up his Bio and do the research yourself.

    Do magician's ever have a poker night where anyone who comes is supposed to cheat?

    DM USED to be a card cheat way back in the day, he wasn't that good because he got caught and ended up having the crap nearly beaten out of him. Which is why he quit and became a XCm'er and a sort of a magician. I would say that most likely today his card cheat skills aren't really up to par...

    Pygmy Paddle

    I think Paul's are specially printed with his name on em. But for most paddle move effects you can get them from different magic dealers.

    Best Chemical for the Invisible Deck

    Or you can simply save yourself the hassle and just buy a new ID when your old one gets out of shape. They're only like 9 bucks or so, and if you can afford to buy new Magic DVD's each month, then spending the 9-10 dollars on a new ID every blue moon isn't going to break the bank.

    Zarrow shuffle or Push Though shuffle?

    Typically speaking the Zarrow shuffle looks less suspicious than the Push Through and is easier to do. The thing you need to do though is to make your regular riffle shuffle look exactly like your zarrow shuffle. This is the advice at the end of Gary Plants book on the zarrow. Which I would...

    Restaurant Magic

    If the guy tries to attack you physically you should pretty much have him removed from the place and just put a restraining order on him. Somebody attacking you, trying to run you over and do other such things to you. Goes way beyond the normal "Heckler" standards. Most hecklers even the jerks...

    Watch this

    I don't really think many laypeople are impressed with levitation's anymore on the streets. They tend to look better on the stage for the reason that Draven mentioned. On the streets they just look stupid and you have no control over your angels.

    Dear Stage Magicians...

    The problem with your act is that it has no structure, just a bunch of tricks muddled together. If you are going to do stage magic, you have consider the fact that most Stage magicians tend to have a Theme with their show, you may not notice it right away, but if you pay attention you can see it...

    Kids copying me and messing up my tricks.

    again, I still say simply talk to the kid and find out WHY he is doing it. Sense nobody here is a psychologist or even knows the other kid, we have no idea what his motives and neither do you right now. Your best option is to simply talk to him. Go up to him during lunch and say "Hey, I would to...

    Kids copying me and messing up my tricks.

    Most people haven't REALLY encountered a TRUE heckler. Which is somebody who is pretty much jealous of what you are doing and out to ruin it for everybody else. These types of people won't just stick with bothering entertainers either. They also are complete asses to cashiers, grocery store...

    In Session

    Sankey is OK, but after awhile he can get annoying and a lot of videos it seems like he can't be arsed to even perform the effects for anybody at all. He just tends to go "Then the guy picks this card and you this or that." which gets annoying, because I have seen the guy perform for lay people...

    Was The Magic Cafe Right For Banning Me?

    My problem with it is that it looks like it was designed by somebody with no taste at all. I have seen websites designed by 12 year old's that were easier on the eyes and easier to navigate than the Cafe. Which is incredibly sad, because the website should welcoming and easy to navigate. It's...
