    New 1-on-1 tonight?

    I think what he wants to say is that ones whole friday night shouldnt be planned on a video released on an internet website. Besides,no one has to ask every single friday if there is or isnt gonna be one. Cant they just wait for the freaking thing saturday or a few days from then? Its not...

    Static By: David Jade and Damien Vappereau

    People on the forums(including I) have said you can flourish with the gimmick. Dan and Dave said no such thing when promoting it.

    Cheating Buying

    I can honestly say the only tutorials Ive looked up are for flourishes. Since I began magic when I was about 7 my natural instinct was to go to a bookstore,not the internet. I almost did get into that "trading tricks" that was going on but my father convinced me otherwise. P.S. whats with...

    Touching / Grabbing During Effect

    Ive noticed (and experimented with) that spectators will grab at you and your prop if you keep fiddling with it and hold it too close to your body. The best example...A deck of cards. If you hold the cards in both hands or are constantly dribbling,drawing too much attention to the...

    Impromptu Sit Down Magic?

    But why on earth should I have to perform effects that I have no interest in or dont fit with my style and act? Seems to much like half-assing a show. I never brushed Dee's advice aside. I backed it up so I have no idea what your talking about. I didnt so much advise against learning...

    Impromptu Sit Down Magic?

    Gimmicks and props that can allow you to do ANYTHING with a bit of brain power cost less than 15 dollars. And christ,none of the effects that I myself have created that are organic use gimmicks. So you would read a palm with absolutely no drama or sense of mystery? Not even show an effort in...

    Impromptu Sit Down Magic?

    Ive been the one stressing that since before you were here. To your question,if im going to perform and I 'lose' my props.(my ice box,loops,bent coin,LIFE set-up,and a few other items) then I cant perform can I? At a gig,its just not possible. If I however were performing on my own time and...

    Impromptu Sit Down Magic?

    Admittedly if you are going to perform you wouldnt be caught in this situation. But it is something ive stressed to people to put themselves in to spark a few brain cells to do something else other than the usual rubber band,cards,cards,cards,cards,and cards. To further your pursuit,the...

    Critique My Pass

    And also,always remember that the spectator should not be looking at your hands while your doing the pass. I have seen other performers stop and stare for a few seconds while doing the freaking move.

    Suggestions for openers?

    Finally,someone not dependant of pasteboard. Funny,you had my exact idea for the cards. The thing is,cards are sooo much easier to do magic with. The material is endless and its a lot less work to do a card trick opener than anything else. Though much less entertaining.

    Suggestions for openers?

    Or instead of a card trick you could take a dollar bill and change it into 4 quarters in your hand.(I will not share my method for this,cause its my baby) Or if you just HHAAVEE to do a card trick you could say you forgot your deck of cards at home but then proceed to draw a deck of cards on a...

    Do you label yourself a magician?

    The thing about being a mechanic though...people arent supposed to know that you are one. If you are a REAL mechanic. If not,sorry to say,you are a poser. Besides,in order to call yourself one,you have to already be able to do the moves. If your still practicing being a cellar dealer then...

    Criss Angel : The Accident

    Well the there is a reason its a stereotype of people putting their hands on their face. Its natural instinct. Ive seen it happen when a car crashed in front of me and flipped over. Gasps,screams,hands over mouths as they pulled the driver out of the car.
