Im not doubting the intelligence of chimpanzees, far from it. They are incredibly intelligent, but they do not understand 'magic' as we do. 1) Yes the chimp does anticipate getting wet, that's obvious and then he looks in the cup for the liquid, naturally, because he assumes it's still in...

I will also stand up and say that 'Random Acts of Magic' by David Acer is a fantastic and massively under rated book. I bought it about 5 years ago whilst at University, mainly because it was cheaper than most books on the site I bought it from, and it's an absolute gem. You get so many one...

That chimp wasn't 'blown away' by anything there. Chimps, like very young children, don't have a massive understanding of the world around them. the boundaries between what's possible and whats not are very blurred because they don't understand what is a normal occurrence. Things that are normal...

Just me goofing around with a silly effect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG-7WDSf2PA Magic should be fun, so that's what I'm doing. And yes, I am very hairy... Rev

buy it, it's amazing. For less than the price of many one trick dvd's you get hundreds of tricks, all of which have potential to be amazing (some will require good presentation though). Probably THE best book for someone starting in magic, but there is something in their for everyone. I started...

I don't think the tricks he performed are important, this is just a really nice about how magic can effect people. Its really nice when stuff like this happens. Rev

Extraordinary proof, Twilight Angles and Shuffling lesson. However, I already did twilight angels regularly before buying TA (bought the trick individually about two years previously) so out of the ones above I'd say Extraordinary proof is my fave. It REALLY fooled me when i watched it.... One...

I think you need to chill out a bit dude and have a laugh. The problem with everyone wanting to be an 'underground' magician these days is that there is no humour in it anymore. People are all "It's an art, I'm artist, this isn't for fun, you must be serious about it, it's a way of life blah...

But i did have something useful to say, I answered your question! That's the complete opposite of not being useful! Enjoy the book though, some of d+M's material is great. Don't expect to master any of it in a day though. Peace Rev

It has been said loads of times, as well as being stated on d+M's website, all is books are available as download only. You getting loads of useful info here, but you are still asking the same daft question that has already been answered. You will learn very little from this forum if you...

Why woud you need to force the card if your going to control it to the top anyway? Surely it makes no difference what card is picked if you're going to control it!?! Rev

Thank you Dee! Alot of magicians nowadays seem to forget that some people actually perform for a living as well! It's not all about creating stuff to sell to other magicians! Rev

I can't believe some people STILL don't get it. It has been stated numerous times by Daniel and by Mr Bayme that he is taking a break from CREATING new material to sell in order to concentrate on PERFORMING! You will notice that every video he has posted up in the last few days is just of him...

I get this all the time, every now and then I just have a month or so where I don't do magic at all. I don't perform, I don't learn anything, I don't watch anything. But I always come back to it. This is how I know I never want it to be my job, because then I will be forced to do it to make a...

You're all wrong. This was in the Royal Road to Card Magic book long before it was on any DVD. it's on page 207 and is simply referred to as 'Natural Jog'. Peace Rev

He just was. Paul took then time to talk to me, and Jess gave me a kiss (oh yeah!), but Alex just completely ignored me. Did get a picture with all of them though.

I met these guys at the International magic convention last year. Paul and Jess were really nice, but Alex was a bit of a prick!

double undercut, then riffle shuffle. Never been caught out on it, so if it ain't broke why fix it! It is simple so I can talk and not look at my hands whilst doing it, which generally means no one else is either! Also, the riffle shuffle means its very easy to add a couple of cards above the...

As i have said before. People learn the 'beginner' tricks to start with, then as they get better, they stop performing them, as those tricks are for 'beginners.' The rub is, that how hard a trick is to do has no bearing on how effective it is. I still perform tricks I learnt 10 years ago when i...

You pull out a pack of cards and do a magic trick. you've just done magic, you're a magician. Admit it. It's the some as if you play music, you're a musician Everyone likes to think they are 'breaking the mould' of top hats and rabbits etc and that's what people think magicians are, so...
