Hm... Spill the beans on the method behind an illusion... or! Go to jail for contempt of court and possibly risk letting a murder suspect go free Tough call there :rolleyes: You guys can talk it up on an internet forum but when faced with the choice between jail time and revealing...

What an awesome story you had to share there Anthony. I can really tell that you love the art of magic for much more than the secrets and methods you posses. It isn't always about the incredible over the top reactions as I am sure you saw that today when the reaction that touched you the most...

My advice to you is to pickup a few books, audiotapes (mp3's now), and a DVD by Eugene Burger. If you are truly interested in taking what you do now and making it much better than you are currently doing I can't recommend his work enough. I could give you all the advice in the world but it...

Jack is like greased lightning....way too fast for me :( --Jim

I knew you wouldn't bud =) First question (to Danny): How can I get sideburns like yours? Second question (to Wayne): How does Fran deal with you as a budding ninja?

I just want to make sure I am understanding you here: Not one single magician alive today has the skill, chops, presentation ability of your aforementioned magicians? Seriously I like to reminisce about the past and the legends as much as the next guy. You could sit there and say there will...

sky_lark, I will tell you this much, Danny is probably one of the most inviting personalities I have ever been around. He is just like any other person out there and very humble with a incredible sense of humor. I would say if you do win, take a chance and get on the phone with these guys. I...

I will probably be in that first 500 but please just remove my name from the contest. I am sure there are people who will have more interesting questions and discussion. My main interests lie in how to properly put together a t-shirt ninja hood and the best release angle for ninja throwing...

Just get both and take from each what suits you best. This way you can decide for yourself what you like. What suits you might not be the same as what suits everyone else in this thread. I am sure Oz has some valuable insights in the DVD and I have yet to hear anyone every say they didn't...

Here are a couple threads you might want to read if you are looking for a few good books: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=4254 http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=4337 --Jim

Video's showing how you constructed a Speedo made from cards should be denied =) --Jim

I wish there were more people out there such as yourself that realized the value in getting the information directly from the creator and giving the creator their just due for their creation. I am sure there are plenty of people out there who watched it and worked it out and rushed out to give a...

I am really considering checking out this system by Daniel Madison because the deck is use more than any other deck are the split spade decks. I would be interested in hearing more about this from you guys who actually have it. How time consuming is it to setup a full deck? Your thoughts on...

Man this is unbelievable...I am totally stunned :(

I agree that many laymen might know that doubles and palming are involved but in all honesty I am not concerned with it. Doing a one-handed double to me is changing something or complicating what is otherwise a very simple and casual movement to minimize the risk of being caught. I am not saying...

Similar thread was here a short while ago: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=4337 quite a few books listed in that thread that I would consider must-read books or at the very least must have and plan to read later books. --Jim

If you had a disability or physical impairment that force you to use one hand for everything I can see a one-handed double lift being useful. Aside from impressing magicians with the move it is more than likely going to be lost on a layman completely. Its like asking where can I learn to muscle...

I was doing a card routine a few weeks ago at a party and something somewhat similar happened. I had the spec choose their card and then place it back into the deck. While I am shuffling the deck up someone walks by and bumps into me and knocks the cards right out of my hands. So understandably...

I like books better than DVD's for a few reasons: - I get to come up with my own presentation and wording often - I have to really think about an effect and decide if there is something I would change - I get a deeper understanding of the magic and methodology behind the effect - I don't see...
