    Getting started in restaurant/walk around magic.

    All three perfect examples of what every walk-around or restaurant magician should own... My old business cards were white on one side and black on the other. Whenever people were seated, the waiter/waitress handed them out my business card and explained that I will be performing walk-around...

    Put the cards down...

    I am going to have to politely disagree here. I have been performing magic professionally for almost 10 years now and I must say that I cannot count the number of times I have been asked "Hey, my friend just got here, can you do that trick again where my signed card gets burned and then is...

    Defensive Laymen

    Well, when are we gonna hang out???!!!!?! I might be flying/driving to Ohio with Hassle-Hauss when he goes there...just to chill. Anywhooooo... As long as your response doesn't take away from your performance, doesn't mess you up mid-routine, doesn't make you an a-hole, then whatever you...

    Defensive Laymen

    Well, I will say that when a spectator thinks they know a method that I used for an effect...I will say "No actually what I did was outjog the selection then I did a spread pass after the spread pass I used a snap DL followed by a strike second." Notice there are no commas. lol...I say it so...

    Put the cards down...

    I think visualartist's first post can be summed up in just a few sentences... If you are a magician, stop with the "Hey, look at this neat-o effect"... Study up on HOW to present your magic. (The book Scripting for Magicians and the Fitzke Trilogy come to mind here...) Give your magic...

    Paul Harris' Whack Your Pack - Live... in a Santa Hat

    That is the clip. From the documentary Art of Magic. He does it more than once on the full video. But there is a different one out there of him doing it. His eye contact, body language, everything is top notch.

    Paul Harris' Whack Your Pack - Live... in a Santa Hat

    Good job man. This is also one of my favorite effects to perform. I use it in my regular bar gig and it kills...I send the card under their drink though :) Jamy Ian Swiss has a killer take on this plot. There is a video out there somewhere of him performing it. It is just his patter that makes...

    More of my thoughts!

    Here is a new twist on things...a friend of mine brought this up while playing...go figure MW2 XBOXLIVE BTW...lol So imagine going into your local magic shop. Once there, you see a magician performing something that just blew your mind. So you ask him about it, and he deicded to "jam" with you...

    Put the cards down...

    There are so many things that could be said here...let me try to express my opinion about this. Everytime I write something down, I end up erasing it, because my mind is so filled with thoughts on this subject. Walk into your local magic shop and look at the books along the walls. How many...

    Harbor Change in Ambitious Card Routine

    Hey guys... Just wanna chime in here. For MY ACR, here is what I do: I have a dup card with the date pre-signed on it. I have the same card forced and I write the date on it, (the exact same spot as the dup). I take a second to think, and then have them write their name on it. I do my phases of...

    Put the cards down...

    Hey all you silly knuckleheads!! Just read through this entire thread and there are some good points being brought up here. I guess I will throw in my $2.94 worth... visualartist started off a pretty good topic here. Some of what I agree with, some I do not agree with. While I DO feel it is...

    Snap Change 1-on-1 by Michael Hankins Review

    Snap Change 1-on-1 by Michael Hankins Review

    Thanks for the kind words bro! The DnD's Commercial is badass no doubt. For me, it was more or less wanting to get the 2 variations out there for the public to see. The Triple Snap change is what fools the HELL outta magicians, so I love to save that move for the conventions and such. Though I...
