    Interesting Magic Facts

    Erich Weiss (aka Houdini) invented Metamorphosis. To this day, no one knows exactly how Houdini made a 1,000 pound elephant vanish from the stage of the Hippodrome in 1918. Houdini starred in several movies including: The Master Mystery (1919) The Grim Game (1919) Terror Island (1920)...

    You Caught Me Off Guard...

    Hey guys, I normally carry a deck of cards and a Sharpie everywhere I go... But what about the occasional day you wake up late and rush out the door without any cards? How many times has this happened to you? Someone walks up to you and says, "Hey, show me a trick!" You reach into your...

    From the Street to the Stage...

    Thanks. Yeah, building my own Metamorphosis kit came to mind but I'm not sure where to start... Do they even sell blueprints of big stage illusions with instructions on how it's put together and how it's performed?

    From the Street to the Stage...

    Hey guys, I've been doing close-up magic (stuff from T11 and E) ever since I started about 2 years ago this summer. I've never done any stage magic and was wondering what it would take to get some (at least one) stage illusions in my repertoire. I was looking around eBay and found Snap...

    Say What?

    I usually don't have any patter prepared except for showing them a "move" used in gambling and card magic. (Borrowed from Brad Christian) I need to have my own twist on Ambitious Card, but I haven't performed it enough to make it a full 10 minute routine without stopping and trying to remember...

    Say What?

    Yeah, you got it. I'm just asking how prepared you are, as far as patter goes.

    Say What?

    I usually have a deck of cards and a Sharpie on me when I go out, but I rarely perform. I'm starting to change that, and I realize how important good patter is. I just need to have a bread-and-butter routine that I can continue perfecting every time I go out.

    Say What?

    Hey guys, I just got done performing for the second time ever to a group of random strangers... It went alright, but it could have been better. I'm glad I did it because I got some useful knowledge from the whole thing. 1.) KNOW what you're gonna do. (I went blank right after a few tricks...)...
