    Continuing Magic

    Just to be clear....and because I’m up...my last paragraph comes off wrong. I mean if YouTube free but generally crap and for 10-15 bucks a month someone can get something that is vastly superior in general, 15bucks is not a big leap up from free and helps to steer others toward better...

    Continuing Magic

    I agree in some utilitarian sense that it is an easy way to dissuade secret seekers and in general be bought by those who will give it time, but the action puts things like this out of reach of people not based on their drive or skill, but their financial situation. That’s not me saying magic...

    Continuing Magic

    I guess if I’m going to post it may as well have some substance to it. I get that YouTube is a huge source for exposure and dubious information. The few good sources on there are dwarfed by the amount of questionable sources and laypeople may not have the skills to differentiate which source is...

    Saturday Night Roundtable - Max Major!

    My question will be in two parts. I read somewhere that you disliked the Robocop remake. First, how could you not like that! Second, has that opinion closed any doors professionally for you?

    How are you doing?

    Plenty of magicians offer Skype type lessons for a fee. I guess the hard part is just not finding a good teacher but also where to look. I follow a few magicians on Instagram and on occasion a few advertise they have an opening for lessons every now and again. Michael Vincent noted he had spots...

    Is it just me or is the pass overrated?

    From the peanut gallery here but....if your friends know your patter is a distraction maybe it’s because your performance differs from your usual self. I am assuming your doing a persona and not a character, meaning your performing “you” is a version of you cranked up to 11 rather than a totally...

    Restaurant Magic

    With most restaurants closing down for a bit I am assuming this is something you are working towards? What do you currently perform and what resources do you currently have? But Some good accessible and low cost sources off the top of my head... Kostya Kimlat and Karl Hein both have penguin...

    How are you doing?

    Many performers I follow; magicians, comedians, and musicians, have all done just that. I watched Mat Franco’s performance the other day, it was fun. Popped in on a couple live streams from some magicians today as well. Kinda wish people would quit asking to learn stuff in the feeds though, but...

    Small Victories

    Groovy. My most recent little victory is the Sylvester Pitch. The move seemed very difficult at first and I revisited it a few times before it just started clicking. Now I am working on a little more distance between my hands during the pitch as well as learning it left handed. Christopher...

    Saturday Night Contest - Fall In Love

    I don’t know my age, but near 12ish years old I was Watching Copperfield on tv with my family. David always made tricks seem really big no matter how small they are and this time he was performing crazy man handcuffs... I was amazed. My dad smiled at my reaction then proceeded to perform the...

    I want a Theory XI coin

    Thanks for the heads up. We’re on the fence about the game, it’s rated mediocre on boardgamegeek. But we like that sort of game and NPHs stuff as well. We own lots of board games but would hate to buy one just for the game pieces! I’ll let this one simmer for a bit...

    Can we all agree to stop doing this?

    I've said it before I'll say it again...I like some of their products but dislike their advertising in general. Magic as a pickup art thing isn't new...even older books like BoBo's have routines and patter that implicitly states this idea. I just for the life of me don't see how this form of...
