To the OP: You may have had some very valid points in your thread that you started. Hell, it could have been an essay or some sort of lecture notes. But the most important thing to ask yourself is this: If you were to print out a set of lecture notes written with all of your slang terms, do...

Ok guys...so here is the explanation for this effect... First of all, why am I just releasing it to everyone? Why not? There are still quite a few things left with what can be done to the iPhone that I am saving for later... :) So anyway, what do we need? Props: Deck of cards. One card torn...

Ok, so after getting a TONNNNN of PMs, I am just gonna reveal it on here in the coming days...why not share the idea with the world? :)

PM me... Mike

Hey guys... I am on here quite often, responding to various posts and just overall trying to be as active as I can with the magic community. For many many many months now, I have played around with the iPhone and what could be done with it. Various Apps have been created for us like Mr...

Doc Eason does card under glass a multitude of times on Vol.1 of his 3 DVD set. He provides some great tips on the moves as well as proper misdirection. Since I perorm bar magic, this is a go to effect for every one of my shows. There is so much you can do with the idea alone, without using...

So in order to be considered a magician, you have to be amazing at sleight of hand? What about someone who has been in the art say...6 months? Are they not a magician until they can execute a perfect pass? Where are these rules located for when you can call yourself a magician and when you...

This is where you are wrong... Criss Angel is a magician. Even by definition of what a magician is: an actor playing the part of a magician. And Criss fits this bill. He actually had a pretty kickass show in NYC some time ago - before his now known Mindfreak show. And from what I do know...

Depends on your approach my friend. Ok, let me add something here...Dan Hauss, who is a good friend, is also like the MacGuyver of magic. The man creates and creates and does a damn fine job of doing so. Dan will tell you himself that he is more of a creator than a performer, and creates for...

I should have clarified, my bad. I was referring to illusions on stage that play for stage. Something like the Death Saw or even the Corvette production, where lighting, blocking and staging all have to be there in order for the effect to be accomplished. A lot of my friends are laymen to magic...

oops...triple post...wtf?!?! See below, below.

Oops...double post...see below.

While that is true, and people DO say "All Criss Angel does is use camera tricks", we also have to remember a few things... Ask people what they think about stage magic. They will tell you that they think there def IS a trick somehow because they are on stage and use stage hands, huge props...

...something, something...take it and make it your own...something, something. Seriously, if you do not understand how much potential this actually has, then Houston, we have a ...nevermind.

Emran, if I EVER have someone say what the hizzif**k!!, I will actually poop myself right where I would be standing... Jesse... Sexy effect! You are a genius! Mike

Yea me too...I performed for her when she hosted SNL...tooooooo bad she chain smokes. Mike

Yea it is really an honor to be able to have someone like Jason share his knowledge to the rest of us!

The reality of it is this: If you are looking to invest $1000 for an effect that lasts 25-30 min, are performing for audiences of more than 30 people, on stage, stand up, or whatever...chances are you are making that much from gigs ANYWAY... So again...a $1000 tax write off that in turn, will...

So are you sure they said in the email that one of their magicians came up with a similar idea BASED off of yours? Meaning they watched it, and then took it as theirs? ORRRRR... Did someone else INDEPENDENTLY come up with the SAME idea as you? Because if that is the case, then this argument...

Easy...one reason: If you perform magic for a living or are semi-pro, you just bought yourself a $1000 tax write off... That's just one reason. :)
