Definitely tricks for all the kids at the door (Stigmata), but I don't have a good place for walk around where I live.... -Matt

Final Cut Pro is the best as far as professional editing, but for everyday home videos, iMovie does great... (for a Mac, that is...) -Matt

I agree with Dana. I've seen quite a few nasty, crackly, VHS tapes of corny magicians that basically all do the same things, and have the same lack of a personality. I appreciate what David Blaine has done for the art and he's definitely brought magic into the 21st century and presented it in...

I definitely agree with silent on that one- if everyone sees you walking around decked out in T11 hats, hoodies, shirts, bracelets, cards, backpacks, and tattoos, they're bound to ask, "What's that??" "That's cool where can I get one?" Then, T11 turns into something it doesn't want to be. If...

Good deal. I'll definitely have to work out a routine and use that trick really soon. Thanks for the insight. -Matt

Hey guys, Just so you'll know where I'm coming from- I'm fairly new to magic and I haven't quite got a set routine that I perform on a regular basis, but I do know most of the basics of slight of hand. I know that they didn't really go into a lot of details in the DVD, but I have a...

Yeah, you can use Distortion for basically any two card transposition... Distortion is just a really nice, visual way to change a card. -Matt

Any idea on how much the gimmicks will cost? I scared to use mine just yet, cause it's the only one I've got... I've had a few ideas on making my own gimmick and I've almost got it- only one more problem to solve... ;) -Matt

Alright! Thanks, guys. You've been a lot of help. I'm still somewhat of a beginner and I've only been doing magic for a year and some change.... All that I really do confidantly and often is Ambitious Card, Here Then There, and perhaps Stigmata (version 1) if I'm feeling confident and I'm really...

Hey guys, I am often known by people who don't know me personally, as "That Guy That Does Magic." I, all too often, have people come up to me and say, "Dude, do that dollar trick!" (Fraud) *sigh* Once agian, I find myself in that delicate situation where the people want to see an amazing...

Nice. I haven't heard that one before... I'll definitely use it. What if they're willing to pay? -Matt

Really good article. I spent more than an hour practicing one cut from the Trilogy (Akira to be specific) and I still wasn't satisfied. I definitely like it when everything is perfect and nothing goes wrong. Because that doesn't happen all the time for me, it leaves me with something to work on...

Wayne Houchin, Daniel Garcia and David Blaine for street. Lance Burton and David Copperfield for stage. -Matt

Do you have Stigmata? Sweet effect with countless possibilities. -Matt

Mmmm... I dunno. It says it will be revealed in time. Patience.... -Matt

There are countless things exposed on YouTube and other places where anyone can post videos of anything... A good rule of thumb that I use: Before buying a trick that's been out a while, just Google search the name of the trick you're interested in, and add the simple word(s) exposed or...

Yeah, definitely have a pre-planned patter that you can use. Just sit down with a pin and pad and imagine yourself going through the routine. Just figure out what you want to say, write it down, and practice saying that until you can do it without thinking... Then all you've got left to do is...

Hopefully so.... Only time will tell.

Just starting out... Hey guys, I've only been doing magic for a little over a year, and it is so much fun... I'm at the point where I almost have to force my parents to watch a trick because I'm constantly showing them stuff. More recently, I've been trying to get up the nerve to do some...
