I went to a place that relines the interior of cars. I asked for a scrap of headliner material the size I needed. The piece I needed was quite large, but he charged me $5. It's much softer than mousepad material, but still worked for what I needed.

Oh if a magician could find a way of creating duplicate signed cards, the possibilities are endless! But cannot be done unless as you say a dual reality or a bluff signature. However many of the same effects and impact can be achieved with the Intercessor gimmick. Worth looking into.

Hey nice start! Pictures look fine. I would remove lower quality images and make it shorter. Also you have some font issues. Pick one font and use it the entire way through. The bubble fonts near the beginning look cheap and do not help what you are going for. Also the opening blue background...

I use them for Stigmata. Oz Pearlman has a great routine idea on his corporate lecture at Penguin. I use that a lot too. But I love love love when people just ask me for one and I can use my Hot leads wallet. So. Fun.

What did he use? I know you can pick up some velvet or velour at pretty much any fabric store which should work nicely. (much nicer than felt)

No worries. They seem to he the best price that offer smaller quantities. Good luck! If you go ahead with it, show us your finished product!

Great work Pete and others!

I have a nice mat that is just a soft rubber and the fabric on top (Np foam layer. It's quite nice. I looked into making my own because I wanted a larger surface. You will have to use Google to find where you can get the best deal on bulk rubber mats shipped to your area.

With your title, I was hoping to see some extreme dove magic. But your video was fun too ;)

Sorry, just saw this. I am in the same boat as you and I jumped in and got this. Unfortunately, it's the same stuff. A couple of small new presentations and small effects, but much of the same stuff as his penguin lectures (which had more content). I think the goal was for there to be new stuff...

Keep us posted on what you've chosen and how it goes!

I'm certainly not an expert on this but have investigated for my own purposes. I found that a velour type fabric works well and mounted on a mouse pad rubber, or if you like softer, a bit of car headliner material. As far as adhesive, I don't know.

Heh, I find I don't need jokes with sponge balls. They are balls and some people will start their own jokes and I find it funnier to act like "oh my, you didn't just go there". They howel because they (or their friend) is the funniest person in the room.

That's something that I really appreciate about you Pete. You put yourself out there and seek some honest feedback. I remember the first videos I watched of you and the growth I've seen in a short time has been great. I'll definitely give this a watch after work.

Our Walmart has changed forks! Can't to Liquid Metal with the new ones. :( Thanks for the suggestion Lyle!

A great book on this topic is Strong Magic by Darwin Ortiz. I find the more simple, the more profound it can be. I also find mentalism stirs more in people than typical tricks. However, I think there is more fun entertainment potential in magic than in mentalism. I love making a silk appear...

And sometimes, you just need a new deck ;)

You may already be aware, but the magic cafe has a business section that is full of input from working magicians. Webbers book maximum entertainment has some great thoughts about some of the more practical aspects of performing (though not specifically business)

Great point FormlessMars22. In this case the material being discussed are marketed and published effects. Guys like Wayne Houchin want to share these effects to help them make a living, when they are stolen and published for free, it is unethical and they lose out on profiting from their hard...
