Since I primarily do shows for kids, I limit my card work to some very simple tricks that are generally 'self working'! I use these on parents and family members that are with the kids...usually before or after a show for the kids....cards are fun, but learning slights and handling takes lots...

THAT'S THE ONE! THIS GUY CAN HANDLE CARDS!!!

While watching P&T Fool Us, last night, they had a magician from Spain. He worked with, what appeared to be four cards.....he was extraordinaire! Penn & Teller were falling over themselves telling this guy how good he was, and of course he totally fooled them! I wrote down his name but...

As most of you know I do magic primarily for kids. I recently saw a very good routine using mouth coils, where the magician did a 'do as I do' routine. The problem I am having as the mouth coils that I have and those that I can find at internet magic sites are very large to put in your mouth...

Hope you heal up fast...and recover all the speed and strength you had before the accident. But, sometimes things happen for a reason. Many good magicians learn to do many of the same moves with both hands....just imagine if you learn to do some of the things you do with your right hand with...

Lori, as all above I am very sorry for you loss. I am an amateur coin collector as well as an amateur magician, but one thing I do when I think I might of mixed up some 'magic' coins with some regular coins is I get out my magnet. All American coins are not magnetic! This is not true for...

I agree with all that has been said! Although I recently started working with Loops and Magician's wax. The first time I made a table fork move, the kids watching me actually 'Jumped' and yelled "You made it move"! That was really fun as we were setting around a campfire at night....they...

In the end, how you dress will be less important than how you perform! Excepting some 'rule' that requires a particular from of dress.... For me I think magicians should wear something that draws attention! That can be a formal look, bright colors, or in some cases even a costume. If your...

Justin, Sounds like you are having fun and progressing every day.... Well done and good luck...

How long have you been doing 'magic'! Sounds like you are on a good road...

I was responding to the fact that I saw no response on my original post....seems like a young guy looking for ideas for a stage show would consider rope tricks and/or sponge balls...he made a brief comment on sponge balls ....but nothing I saw on rope tricks....

Bla, bla, bla....so I guess you do not like rope tricks? Perfect for an 'on stage' performance and easy to do! Do you know rope tricks? Do you know sponge balls.....?

Cut and restored rope trick and/or Professors Nightmare rope trick. Both easy to perform, very visual and good magic! If not that any routine you have learned on Sponge Balls...

A lot of good comments on 'card handling'...when I think of misdirection, I think of sponge balls. I worked and worked at handling the sponge ball so fast that you could not see it happen, it never got perfect. Then I watched a new DVD I got and the magician showed how by using your hands...

I have never been to or in the Magic Castle, but I have read about it and seen a few TV shows where it was shown. But, whatever you do it should be your personal 'Best' Trick! I think originality is key to getting a pass. So the answer as to what you should do it really up to what you think...

I agree with the others.....do something that is 'yours' not something someone else does or... ...do something that others do, but do it in a totally unique way that you developed! What I really like is when someone does something common, like everyone else...say cups and balls....then they...

All, I looked on T11 but they were 'out of stock'! So I did a search on Amazon and found both #1 and #2....they are in the mail.... I will let you know after I have had time to review these DVD's....I am looking forward to going into this type of magic....

Thanks to all....I will take some time and review this....I love how well many magicians can do this.....an act unto itself...!

Since I was a kid, I have always been amazed at a magic trick that involves producing a single card out of the 'air' repeatedly, often this is done until the stage is littered with cards. Additionally, most magicians also throw single cards into the audience to further display this magical...

I too struggled with sponge balls, the most simple part of 'vanishing' eluted me. That is until I watched a video made by Michael Dardant where he demonstrated one of many ways to do the 'vanish'! It was so simple stupid, that I did not believe it would actually work. The first time I...
