Well what do you know and what type of show will it be. If you are doing a close up show and have Card College or Art of Astonishment then you could do a pretty decent card magic show with the stuff in there.

Eh I'd say just do something simple like Bizarre Twist or the ACR. You don't have to do anything do hard. Just some nice simple stuff.

Well yeah but anything in magic can look like moves. Card magic is the same way and so is sponge magic. I don't think there really is any other way to do a retention vanish sense I am 100% sure all coin guys use a sleight variation on the original in Modern Coin magic. It would be nice if...

I think it's also a 50/50 thing. You can still amaze people by doing things that don't make sense and also do it by doing magic that has some logical reasoning to it. Coin Magic doesn't have the hook because coins aren't really a necessary thing in this day and age. It's impressive and amazing...

Copper Silver is an effect that has the magic happen in their hands AND to them. Garret Thomas's Imagination coins has the same thing happen sort of. Coins through the table has some what of an emotional hook. It's more amazing in the fact that you apparently defy physics and cause a few solid...

No Vernon is the one who said that a professional doesn't care about how crude the method is. People don't see the method, they see the effect. Weather you are you using gimmicks or not. If you can achieve what you need with a gimmick, then go for it. If you can use a crude method to do it. Then...

Come Fly with Me doesn't use an extra coin and it shouldn't be a problem cleaning up if you do it when people are too busy being amazed. Darwin ortiz also talked about this. Also I think Vernon mentioned that this is the difference between a pro and a amateur. A pro doesn't care are crude the...

Shadow Coins. Three fly. Come Fly With Me. Coin One. Any Coin Flurry. Misers Dream. Coin that falls up. Silver Dream. Coins to Cup. Matrix. Happy Now?

Never said you suck, I said maybe YOU are the one with the problems. Big difference in the wording. Tho this is the internet and the phrase "It's not what you say, but how you say it." doesn't work here. (meaning that you are probably the only one who is having a problem.) There will always...

Actually Bill does doe coin work. He teaches a coins across routine on one of his DVD's. I think tho that is different and obviously for a magician, we KNOW how everything is done. Obviously if you try to present something as a complete vanish they won't go "wow!". But if you do something as...

Yeah I see what you mean but.. Not everybody needs to make everything they do look like pure magic. Bill Malone's stuff doesn't look like pure magic. People remember HIM and remember what he did. He is also to ENTERTAIN them. Gregory Wilson does the same. David Williamson and ton of others do as...

I think you should ask Kozmo that question. He pretty much opens his busking show with a One Coin routine, yet he is able to make a pretty damn good living off busking. The thing is that magic is entertainment PERIOD. It shouldn't matter if they think you actually did REAL magic or not. Do...

First of all. You have no right to tell me if I have talent or not. Due to not seeing me perform. 2nd of all. It seems YOU are the one who needs to not talk because you have developed the maturity of a 12 year old by trying to pull a steerpike and arguing with people on a message board...

Whats the difference between the hardback version and the current one. From what I remember reading is that he pretty much updated some of the photos in color and might have added some more stuff to the book.

Maybe its YOU that has the problem. Because I know a ton of guys who can do coin magic and make it look it look like real magic and enjoyable.

It's on Disc 9 that won't be released as a single DVD.

Depends on if blowing the trick is actually part of the trick. Tho I'd say that we shouldn't be afraid to fail, because it's your follies that you learn the most from. You screw up a trick because of a bad angle you missed. You learn to properly cover that angle. etc etc.

I personally believe that he is wrong 100%. Its not up to him to cause change and really there are better ways to go about changing magic than just exposing classic effects on TV. Ironically he wants people to be better showmen. Yet when you see him perform, he sucks ass and has the showmanship...

Magic isn't about fooling people, but it's also not about revealing everything to them and then turning it into a puzzle. People are supposed to enjoy the mystery of magic. Once you've exposed how you do everything, you are not only hurting yourself but others as well. No matter if you think you...

He's pretty much banned from a lot of circles and screwed his own career over.
