I think I was 9 or 10 and I had a good friend who's big brother (in High School) was a magician! I was really interested, but had no way to get tricks. I saved up my money from hunting pop bottles, selling all occasion cards, and shoveling snow (I lived in the high mountains of Colorado)...

'You do as I do' is one of my favorite card tricks to do with 3-4 people. Of course you typically work with only one of the group, although, do to the fact that this one spectator is trying to follow and do exactly what you are doing with his/her deck, this draws the other spectators...

I appreciate your enthusiasm, BUT anything can become a problem if it becomes an obsession! I am well into my 60's and am speaking from my life observations, I am not speaking from the viewpoint of someone who is a professional magician, I am not. That being said, I know some people who became...

I always get mixed up when someone refers to 'Rings'...PK Ring or Linking Rings? Seems like we have both on this post...

I can see why many church goers would not like anyone playing with 'cards' around kids. But I do not think it would be about magic and religion, but more about cards being used for gambling. Seems like if you are doing a cups and balls, or cut and restored rope, few would take issue with...

I keep things simple....time to change churches!

First thing that comes to mind for me is Sponge Balls, visual, easy to carry, and if you have a good routine, people usually love it! Also Professors Nightmare is a good visual rope trick can be done regardless of angle, if you are quick...if you like Spider Thread and Wax...I seen some need...

Coin Trick....Scotch and Soda; Rope tricks...Professors Nightmare and Cut and Restored rope; Egg Bags are good for walk around, you have to develop a 'routine' on this, same can be said for Sponge Balls....

Sounds like the best 'gig' one could get! I can tell by your pictures that you had fun and the special kids had a ball watching you perform....thanks for sharing with us!

I live in the Kansas City, MO area. We have nothing here, at one time St. Louis had a store, but they are gone from what I have been able to find out. The only store I have found it one in Wichita, KS. They have a robust website and I have not taken the 3.5 hour drive to see the store...

Where can it be found?

Learning to use this is challenging. I too am in the early stages of learning....but you can do so many amazing things, once you learn how to deal with it! My biggest problem is breaking it! I read somewhere that a bit of stretching is necessary when starting on a new one. I think this...

Good group! Let's Rock On!

It is my favorite book on magic! I refer to it often as it has so much content that it is good for supplementing techniques and developing ideas to enhance your routines.

I would think a good 'last trick' would be to produce a small glass or container on top of the table, maybe using an egg bag or? Your story on this is that this object is my reward or tip container.....maybe have a few bucks in it already.....!

The magic I do is strictly for my grandkids and their parents. I am not a professional by any means... They range from 3 year old to 21 year old. Two are in the 11-13 age bracket. This age is one where they still have many of the attributes of smaller kids, but they are beginning to...

What wheel? Some of us don't play.....

RO....you always say it better than I! My Grandkids just think Poppy (that's me) really is magic. My 5 year old Grandson talked with me on the phone last week and asked what new magic I had, I told him I could take a pin and stick it in a balloon, without popping it! I will see him at...

Like any 'art form' magic is a way for someone to express themselves artistically! Most magicians I know perform to entertain people! Showing off or impressing people is of no use in magic.....although I am sure that younger folks may see a performance that way. Those people would be wrong...
