    Andy Kaufman Meets the Masked Magician

    Isn't he, though? I caught a documentary about the theory that he faked his death, with some pretty compelling evidence in its favor. But at the same time, it's a conspiracy theory right up there with the notion that our current President is an alien lizard man, so really all you can do is...

    Andy Kaufman Meets the Masked Magician

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF-AErc9u7g From ABC's old show, "Fridays." Wonderful stuff. "Because I just ate," cracks me up every time.

    Figure this out...

    Didn't they declare that the Bermuda Triangle was some sort of gas or something under the surface? And it was screwing with electrical equipment and making people nauseous or something like that?

    That's kind of sad, dude.

    Figure this out...

    Essentially, they built this airport in Denver, and there's a lot of odd information surrounding it. I've since found a link, which you can view here. Some facts about the airport: - above all else, check out the freaky mural they had painted (and some parts subsequently painted over) it...

    Figure this out...

    I love those pipes. That's crazy-weird. My favorite of these is the Denver Airport, and all its related strangeness. (tried to find a decent link, all I found was crap)

    Gaff Deck

    This has been debated countless times, and always results in the same answer: "If you know what you're doing, no they won't." There are all kinds of decks out there, all kinds of colors. I've seen green, pink, silver. And all kinds of different backs as well. Even some made of plastic. There's...

    Let's play dress-up!

    Totally is, but if you're upfront about what kind of performance it's going to be, and you're consistent, then for the right crowd it's going to go over really well (and my whole sentence there just reinforces your statement, hah). Thank you everyone for the kind words, but lets see what...

    Let's play dress-up!

    Quick aside - it's a script I've been kicking around for a while, ever since I had half a bottle of Cabernet sitting around on the kitchen table. I thought the red of the wine looked a lot like how the letters look when you perform Stigmata. The original plan was to tie it into some occult...

    Let's play dress-up!

    Dress up your presentations! For this, just take a trick you like (maybe one you perform, maybe one you haven't performed yet, doesn't really matter - though I daresay this will hit harder if it's something your hands have rehearsed endless times over) and give it a nice presentation. Write...

    Kids at School

    I'm not saying you should outright assault the guy. I'm saying, knocking something out of your hand goes beyond heckling, and borders on starting a fight. I truly do encourage clever use of audience control in order to retaliate against the responsible party, but also realize this isn't, "Well...

    Kids at School

    Maybe it's just me, but I still don't see why people are accepting this kind of abuse. If it had been anything else in your hands, and someone came up and knocked it out, how would you have reacted? If a musician's up on stage, and some dude comes up and just thwacks the guitar out of his...

    Who do you feel are the top creators in magic today?

    Sean Fields, Richard Osterlind, Docc Hilford - great stuff. I'm also reading the Switchcraft billet book by Elliot Bressler, and it's bar none the most clever treatise on the subject I've read.

    Problem with Parents

    All other practical ideas I had were already shot down, so, I guess... wait until you're 18? I mean, if it's not affecting your progress anymore, and you really truly can balance academics and prestidigitation, then why not?

    Tips on where to learn mentalism?

    Some of it is dated, yeah. But there's some genuine gems in there, like being able to tell what day of the week any given date (as far back as the 1700's) falls on within seconds, finding square roots and cubing massive numbers, various memory systems and mnemonics, and a lot more. I find it...
