    TUTORIAL: Buying Your Camera

    It just depends on what type of computer you have and how much money. On a Mac nothing beats Final Cut Pro, and on a PC I use Adobe Premiere... of course they're expensive as hell. You can get a watered down version of Adobe Premiere called Premiere Elements, but I've never used it personally...

    The M5

    I love it... as people has previously stated, if it fits into your style and routines then get it. To me it's very bulky and I really don't like to carry it around with me that often anymore. I got tired of mishaps.

    Reputation Makers: What's Yours?

    Actually, the best reactions I have gotten is out of a simple set of "Pick a card" vanishes and reproductions. At the end you force a card on them in any way, then slowly reveal the card through "psychic" powers... if you have an Electric Touch it is even more powerful, but just the fact that...

    Ever get caught performing Panic?

    If you get caught you're not practicing enough before performance. Its just that simple cause the gimmick is perfect.

    The sad thing about Criss Angel

    Maybe we all could take a lesson from Criss Angel? It's easy to hate someone thats on the top. And as was stated eariler, he is an "entertainer". Which, in all reality is what every one of us should be. We are here to entertain people. Sometimes its a shame that so many of us forget that...

    Guardians' Logo Picture

    Scan it, using as high of resolution as possible and clean it up in photoshop. Or get good lighitng and take a high quality high resolution digital picture of the card and then use photoshop to clean it up/darken it.

    Guardians in Maxim Magazine

    Just wanted to apologize for my previous post... it was a Seroquel/Ativan/Percoset filled rambling. (All legally prescribed of course)

    Skullcracker - Review

    Thee are a fw ways to end up completely clean. Misdirection takes a big pat of most o fit, but from evey time I've perfomed this, they just can't wait to get their hane on the newly appeared bill.

    Guardians in Maxim Magazine

    Okay... say I sell magic tricks and cards and maybe even some books on comedy.. I adversitse the comedy in movie magazies, and I advesitse the car in Pocker Players magacing oike "Card Player". I have now inadvertantly pushed many laymen into a place that does not respect what 90% of the...

    Holding a double lift.

    Just keep practicing. Work on a standard double, then a push off double. Keep doing it a million or two times and eventually it'll look good. When I first started doing DLs I did it over and over while I watched TV or just sat araound BSing with people.

    Guardians in Maxim Magazine

    I dunno if it was an official advertisement or if it was just a Maxim plug for something unique, but all that aside.... Anyone can look up anything on the internet. If you do a search for playing cards you're not going to run across T11 until maybe 140,000 pages down. (I've tried. :) )...

    Skullcracker - Review

    Okay, let me come right out and say that this is one of the best bill switches ever created. Based on a few other magicians that are credited in the DVD, Bob does a fantastic job at teaching and the effect is so simple it's almost stupid... "Why didn't I do that?" comes through your head over...

    1-on-1 what's going on?

    Wow.. you all are just dying to throw your money away. C'mon... give them time to make a quality and aesthetically pleasing product. cause if they didn't you'd just complain about how the quality sucked. Patience is a virtue.

    Your Thoughts on Stage Names

    Stage names are pretty much standard. I've used mine for years.... number one because my real name is damned near impossible to pronounce, and two because it allows the name to stick into the spectator/audiences mind.

    Mentalism

    I like to present the mind as a constant. I present everything as that 90% of minds are the same and I can lead them into what I want them to do because not of "magic" but of scientific knowledge. It's pretty much all BS (not all of it tho) but it gives the spectator something to latch onto...

    Veterans Day

    I'm currently deployed to Iraq. Got the shaft and going to have to stay 15 months instead of 12 this time... oh well, third time in Iraq is the charm I guess.. :) Lots of people at the DFAC waiting in line to do magic for tho.

    Getting a Job?

    My first paying gig was at a local bar. I was paid 50$ a night to do magic tricks in a walk around environment. It woulda been great pay probably if I wouldn't have drank 100$ worth of beer every night. :D
