Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew of any effects with cigars? I've seen one website with gimmicked cigars, but they don't look appropriate for close up magic and probably better suited for comedy. Other than that I have seen very little online that appears of be of any substance...

Thank you for the welcome! I do find that just engaging with other people online (since that would be my only option) is a good way to create accountability for myself. The more you talk about magic, the more you're going to be inclined to do it, I think.

It's been years since I read AoA and I've since sold my copies, so I can't even reference that. :( However you're probably right. It's definitely not an original idea by any means. So aside from cards in odd places, what other things could be left behind without causing vandalism, or risking...

This is awesome. Probably an app would be the best way to do it, if it ever happened. Any way to just pull up a map and see little pin points.

If only I actually knew other people. Sure, I've made friends all over the world through magic over the years. I think most of us have. But not with anyone who I am going to run into at my local coffee shop. I have to wonder how many magicians are heavily "offline", or at least off discussion...

So I am sitting in a Starbucks and look up and notice an Ace of Clubs in the ceiling. First of all, what a lovely gift. Clearly I am in another magician's territory but in a different situation I could exploit this. But that got me thinking... how crazy would it be to create a magician's...

HAHA. Oh good so it's not JUST ME. Thank you thank you thank you. You really understand where I am coming from. This is exactly what I am looking for.

This is great advice and input. Thank you! I'd never really imagine how much planning and thought process goes into diving back into something so life consuming like magic. It's more than just getting a deck of cards and reading a book, otherwise I'm just going to be a hamster on a wheel.

Also, this makes me anxious. I'm actually a fine artist (painter), and even though I have yet to go get my Masters degree, but I'm always feeling pressured like to develop my voice and my work to develop in a particular direction. So similarly, I've also tried so many styles and genres of...

No no, not rudimentary at all. The key thing I think though is to read and not have an expectation that I'm going to be able to perform whatever is being taught in any remotely close time frame. I guess it's about re-iqniting an excitement about possibilities? On the other hand, I may become...

Thank you everyone for the warm re-welcoming! Casey, I do hope you're right about muscle memory. I mean, I definitely have that a little bit. But only with the basics. Anything requiring finesse feels foreign. I just hope the learning curve isn't so big the second time around. David, you...

Here's some advice you won't get too often but I swear by it. Pick one effect, maybe something gimmicky if you must, but let it be simple and powerful and EASY to perform. Whenever you're struggling with learning something new, it always feels good to have one thing in your "back pocket" to keep...

Hey everyone! I want to re-introduce myself here. I had another account on here from the day that T11 started but I can't figure out what the log in is, and frankly I'm sort of happy for a symbolic "fresh start". I probably last posted 6 years ago or so. I've been a long time member, although...
