Some books that are appropriate for her to read by herself: The Knack Magic Tricks - This is written by Richard Kauffman who is the editor of Genii Magazine and a very good writer. Joshua Jay's Big Magic for Little Hands - Josh is one of the founders of Vanishing Magic, has written a number of...

Nice handling Gabriel!

I think everyone starts out copying other people's work. The problem is when the lack of originality continues among the more experienced magicians. I just want to cry when I see professionals performing stuff out of the box using the same hackneyed jokes and lines. Yes and no. It may be...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I wasn't suggesting that it be attached to the suitcase, but rather kept separate. It gives a sense of authenticity with the old suitcase.

To me it is a matter of personal preference. Choose whatever ending do you think works best because if you like it, that will be conveyed to your audience in your performance. To add to the list, you also could do Paul Harris's Solid Deception (Art of Astonishment, Volume 1) which uses a...

Check out this download: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/855. That will teach you everything you need to know as well as some routines.

I love the Omni deck. Let me know if you get it and I can show you some different ideas for handling.

@CardMagicNJ When I logged in this morning, I saw the overnight posts in response to your questions. Those posts were totally out of line and uncalled for. I've deleted those posts and banned the user who made those posts. The T11 moderators do our best to keep the discussions helpful and...

Very much like the old days Drew. I've deleted most of your posts you have made overnight in this thread and others as they aren't helpful. Trolling other members whether they be moderators or new members is unacceptable.

You have to love a book where the first chapter is titled "The Real Secrets of Magic" and that contains the secret of The Educated Gold Fish.

If you are talking about the Hugard DVD, it isn't a bad price for 20+ books. Most of the books are around $5 to $15 (including some that you have to find used because they are out of print), that would be about right for a PDF version at around 50% of the print version. The quality of the...

Here's the rub... to make reliable scanned versions of public domain books requires equipment and time. The people who do that want to be rewarded for their equipment and time. Lybrary.com and Conjuring Arts Research Center have very good PDFs of magic books BUT they cost money to purchase...

The classic pass is like any other move in card magic... only useful if you use it well and know when to use it. I don't think choosing not to learn the classic pass makes you "lazy" or "ignorant." At that same time, I see no harm in trying to master the classic pass if you enjoy doing it...

How about using one of these: https://www.homedepot.com/s/luggage%2520rack?NCNI-5

Start with the fundamentals. Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic, Scarne on Card Tricks, Royal Road, Card College, Bobo's Modern Coin Magic, etc. Great book and wonderfully written, but probably something for after you get the fundamentals down.

There is a truth to that. People that I perform for that are older - say over 50 - often think that a stripper deck is the method. Most younger people haven't seen it or just dismiss it as a magic kit trick. I've been working on a project based on strippers and short cards and have found a...
