    Saturday Night Contest - Pieces of Silver

    Well done everyone. rademakar took my vote simply because of his skill in handling such a difficult trick. He was smooth and polished, and his video met the requirements of the contest. He did not win by any video editing, but simply by skill and showmanship. Well done everyone. L

    True Astonishments..?

    At one point in time I was trying to review all of that material, but with 9 DVDs it was just not possible in the time that I had. TA rocks. There is material in it I will never use, but it is not because it is not amazing material. It is simply because it doesn't all fit my style. There is SOOO...

    Acta Deceptio - What is Impossible?

    As I finished my internship up yesterday, I left behind a rather cool gift for the business I had been working for. They had been tryigt o meet an exceptionally difficult monthly goal every month for the last two years and had not been sucessful once. My first month there I brought the company...

    Acta Deceptio: What Makes Great Playing Cards?

    Well said Eostresh. I personally buy playing cards simply to try them. It is like when I am in line buying something at the store and I see a new variety of candy. I buy it simply so that I know what it is like. Nobody can really communicate to someone else exactly how a deck feels without...

    Favorite Color Change

    And how is it that, with hundreds of color changes in existence, you think you can nail the absolute best two? The idea of a "best" anything is absurd. There are always better things for a variety of reasons. Every trick in the world has strengths and weaknesses and in certain circumstances is...

    The more relevant the effect is to your audience..

    I don't care how good you are, a sponge ball routine needs an extra something to amaze me. The only way you will get me to walk up to you, shake your hand, and say that I was impressed after a sponge ball routine is if you can draw me into it. There has to be a story or some emotional catch. The...

    The Darker Side of Magic

    I can, and do occasionally, bring a slightly darker side to my magic. Typically, I do card magic. If I do anything that strays from card magic, I usually pass it off as an experiment. One thing I like to do is to cause my pulse to stop. Not the W:H method, but actually cutting off the blood flow...

    Ace Assembly for my friend.

    Not that you need to rush things, but I found my attention span starting to grow rather thin. The trick seemed to drag on for a while between the magical moments. Part of this is because I am a seasoned card magician and I am able to follow what you do without much issue, but I think a spectator...

    Acta Deceptio: What Makes Great Playing Cards?

    While browsing through the many new posts in the forums today, I ran across this thread - People Are Addicted to Cards Now? Playing cards have been a big hype ever since I got back into magic several years ago. There seems to be no end to the stream of new cards. I would know. I lost count of...

    Funny Gig Stories...Let's Hear Em'

    Public library teen reading program. I am schedules to perform for 30ish teens for an hour. I arrive to find flocks of 5-8 year old. I have a gambling centered routine, not a kids show. Needless to say I am not prepared. I scrapped my set after 10 min of poor reactions to my modifications. I...

    Acta Deceptio: When Were You Last Fooled?

    This last EMC. I watched JB and Eric Mead help out in a mind blowing illusion from Lu Chen. I have spent a rather long time going over the trick again and again trying to decode the mystery, but to no avail. I know those in the room when it happened were also blown away. We simply witnessed the...

    El Cambio Nada questions

    To verify what Casey said - it is not going to be easy, but it is beautiful. The change is something that feels very natural to a spectator who has seen you play with cards before. It is so simple looking that it can be nothing but magic. Give it a try, just know that you will be working on it...
