    Paul Harris - Twilight Mirror

    True, but I will almost guarantee that carrying sponges shaped like bunnies will land you much more money than a few zippo tricks :) It is all about what the audience wants to see, and how you get paid. I do not even like the effect myself, but its not about what I like...its about what THEY...

    Paul Harris - Twilight Mirror

    A few things here... A zippo is NOT the best way to do this effect. I have been performing this effect for 10 YEARS and have ALWAYS used my antique mirror that I found at a yard sale. It's small, old looking, and looks like something a gypsy would carry around. The STORY I have created to go...

    Paul Harris - Twilight Mirror

    That's a good idea. But I did have a friend who did the same thing. And when the mom turned the phone back on, she had missed an emergency call from her son who had hurt himself very badly. This was a once in million shot, but I wouldn't want that on my shoulders. lol... Anywho, for someone...

    Paul Harris - Twilight Mirror

    I have been performing this trick for almost 10 years now, and the best place to get an extra "mirror" would be Home Depot or Lowes. Get it cut for you...many pieces. ORRR look around for an old fashioned small mirror. Now you have a story to tell about the mirror itself. I came up with a...

    Need help on your Pass?

    While using a steel deck to build up hand strength is true, is it really needed? I am pretty sure the past greats who helped to develop and fine tune the many passes that we use today never used steel decks. As a matter of fact, some of those past greats were the ones who recommended using more...

    Passing The Torch

    When I moved to GA for a short time, I ended up meeting my good friend Denver, who was at the bar when I was performing. (And getting hooked up with free drinks alllllllllll night) hahaha... We got to talking, and it turned out that he has always had a passion for magic far beyond just catching...

    Magic with Headphones?

    Essential Magic Conference 2010

    Simply amazing...cannot wait! And just as an aside and to add on what Mr. Shane Black had typed, Jeff Hobson DID have an online magic lecture circuit, but it came to a halt. BUT, from what I DO know, All of those lectures from Hobson will be released on a DVD set...not sure when, but there are...

    Daniel Garcia's Greed

    The DVD is all you get. You construct the gimmick yourself. And just as an FYI, you end up spending $7.00 to make the gimmick. Once made, you won't need to construct another one for a LONNNNG time. I still have the same one I made a LONG time ago, and still use it in my shows... Mike

    Chat Roulette?

    Yea I know these people put up other videos...I've seen some bizzarrrreee stuff...lol on Alba's Twitter account, she has mentioned that she was on Roulette. I do doubt that was really her now that you mention it, but she did react to some cards flying out of my throat...who knows.

    Chat Roulette?

    Yea I sometimes find myself popping on there from time to time...just to throw up some cards. Many celebs hop on there too. Jessica Alba is one of them. I saw her myself. I believe a few shows have talked about this site...Conan being one of them, and he actually went on there... And yes...

    Are you an atheist?

    Ya know, I was starting to type this long story about one of my good friends from the Marines, who was THE biggest Athiest I have ever met in my life. The dude was covered head to toe in anti-religion tattoos... But then again, I felt like it would just be a waste of my time to do so. I will...

    Help With Credits

    Being so early, I do not know off the top of my head WHO to credit, but yes, this has been done before. I have seen it done with coins, folded up cards and sponge balls. Jeff McBride uses it for his street magic sponge routine. Shoot him an email and see where he can point ya...

    Any Advice or Resources?

    First of all...mad props to you for wanting to help your family out! Reverhart made some great points, and there is not much more I could add to that. I will say that I think you are in a pretty good spot to grab gig after gig. Especially with being in high school. You have potential clients...

    Foundations or Ninja?

    You probably do not have it down because the pass he performs is AWEFUL. Just look at the trailer alone for Ninja, and you will see what I mean. He says "invisible" as he CLEARLY makes a crazy gesture to transpose the two packets. Just...so...hard...to...watch... Maybe you do not want to...

    Foundations or Ninja?

    I absolutely agree with Mrs. Kenner on this one guys. If I were to have to pick between the two, Foundations would be on MY pancake plate. (I don't know what that means) Also, why limit yourself to these two selections? What about the Card College Series along with the DVD set? What about...

    Audio by Eric Jones

    With Eric being a really good friend, I have seen this routine from the moment he first came up with it and showed me. This is my favorite coin routine as of yet. Eric is in a league of his own. When this comes out...pick it up!!!! I know I will.
