    Wounded

    Yes, it does, but trust me, it's not as bad as you think, nowhere NEAR as bad. I know it sounds awful, but the method done can be painless (depends on your props) and with a minimal amount of blood obtained. I was a bit nervous myself, but I've done this quite a few times with no ill effects...

    Your Ambitions

    Oh, you. My turn! I want to do multimedia art - works that combine all kinds of different mediums, be it music, literature, painting, architecture, film, magic, what have you. Ideally, I'd love to work on little art projects and write some books and make lots of money from both, but I do...

    Great Debater of The Week: Should we have one?

    A good idea may be this, as forked in twine: A) Don't make a big, formal, pompous deal about it. No Weekly Debate with special debater awards and formalized structure. Just make a post. What was this last one, "Are magicians seen as nerds?" or something like that? Just make that a post. It...

    Please respond - Why do you love magic?

    Because of Paul Harris' "Astonishment is Our Natural State of Mind" essay.

    Obvious THREAD question...

    Geek method - doesn't hurt, the pain is all acting. Wayne was completely comfortable the entire time and has had himself setup up to 4 hours beforehand, ready to perform. While pulling the thread from his eye, he talks naturally and normally, going over the routine. Might be uncomfortable for...

    Thread by Wayne Houchin

    I know this will sound a little odd, but I'm a little more icked-out over the sleight method than the geek method. Just the way he showed to do it - too much business going on up there. All in all, I feel a lot more comfortable with the effect and can't wait to try both methods. It's out...

    The Weekly Debate: #4 (Revised)

    I'll admit it. I bribed him. Good IT is hard to come by these days, I can't help it if I've got the hook-up. Ahh, puns. Especially bad ones.

    1-on-1 Disappointments?

    Those aren't the only mentalists, you know. There's no reason they can't find some super cool hip underground mentalist to join the crew. Half of the artists currently, I'd never even heard of before here. They need not grab the top performers in the field, just a well-rounded practitioner to...

    Thread by Wayne Houchin

    Weeeee. 3 hours left, then 2 hours / 30 minutes left, then 3 hours / 17 minutes left, then 3 hours / 49 minutes left. Time to see what's on TV.

    Criss Angel?

    A lot of people hate him simply because it's the popular thing to do. Some are saying they hate him just because everyone else is, and they don't want to have a dissenting opinion. Some have valid reasons - his attitude, his methods of performance, his jumping the shark as far as magic goes -...

    Supernatural Routine

    What's better, this bag of gold or that bag of gold? They're both mentalism. Explicit Content focuses on making mentalism more visual and tangible. X-Rated is mostly a grab bag of wonderful ideas, theories, and techniques. Dig up some explanations of the effects from each, and see which...
