    Portal

    No, I'm not talking about the double lift. I'm just saying that you shouldn't your hands so close together when doing the vanish and reproduction.

    Portal Re-filmed

    I said this in the original post but i feel it needs repeating: SEPARATE YOUR HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In all the performances of Portal so far, the two hands are like 1 inch away from each other! Separate them!!!!!!!! Here's why: When the spectator sees the spread...

    Live Magic Performance - Videos

    Awesome. Some advice for the sponge balls. I dunno if you did this or not, but it's best to produce the balls from the purse frame. You can use Daryl's line "This is a Las Vegas purse *audience laughs* There's nothing inside" And then show the purse empty by sticking your right hand through...

    The Magic Chapter 3: A Wrong Turn

    Here's some ideas for the story: You should have Ryan start pirating stuff cuz he can't afford magic dvd's. Then Mike and the magic store guy find out and is ashamed of him for stealing, or something along those lines. When Ryan walks into the magic store, he finds the store owner is...

    Elastic thread?

    Thanks for the help guys. The kinda of elastic thread i need is thick and stretchy, cuz it needs to withstand some pressure, and it's concealed within the gimmick so it need not be invisible. Yigal's thread is too fragile and wont be able to hold the pressure, plus it doesn't snap back easily...

    What do you love...

    Sigh, this is gonna be one of those 5-paragraphs-per-post threads that always give me a headache. :( Anyways, the reasons i do magic are: 1. Thrill of performing 2. The satisfaction of nailing a hard sleight or flourish. 3. Magic helps me develop character and style, which will help be...

    Tarantula or The Trilogy?

    If you want powerful and versatile close up magic, get the Tarantula. But if you want slieght of hand card tricks or flourishes, get the Trilogy.

    Subway Revolution

    You can do a half pass motion with the card, by curling your middle finger around the left edge and flipping it over. But that's a little too fiddgety and plus, it's now got the same discrepancy of Card Across. The card starts face down and ends up face up? In theory, if the transportation of a...

    Have You Noticed?

    Help with my routine...

    My suggestion: Take each effect and arrange them according to impromptuness. Make a list of ones that are completely impromptu, ones that take a small set-up that you can do during performance, and ones that need elaborate set-ups. And arrange them accordingly. Next, arrange the effects in...

    Autograph + TNR =

    It sounds like a good idea but the two effects really have no relation. A restoration and a fusion effect dont have much to do with each other. It's kinda of like the Torn and Restored Bill in Orange. The magician tears a card and throws the pieces away and shows the signed card has restored...

    Masked Magician is Back!

    Ya i saw that too. In my place, Masters of Illusion was on Mondays at 9. But it got pushed up to 8 o clock and now the Masked Magician show is at 9. Anyways, I dont really care and neither do most people. They'd rather see the trick than know how it's done.

    Smart Alicks

    Thanks for all the advice guys but none of them really apply to me. I usually do tricks during school so there's no set routine or show for me to say "Who's ruining the show?" or stuff like that. The little conversation i had with the heckler was like this: *Just finished Blindsided* Him: "So...

    Presentation : Your Views

    Darwin Ortiz talks all about this in Strong Magic. What makes good presentations are: Substantive Meaning Sense of Progression Dynamic Structure Suggestion Character Audience Management Stuff like that. I won't explain what those all mean cuz i think that's exposure.
