Are you talking about the book written by Barrie Richardson and published by Hermetic Press? If so, are you sure this effect is in that book because it seems to me that it's more geared towards mental magic and mentalism, could you please confirm? Thank you.

Thanks for the reply everyone! This effect is indeed in the Joshua Jay's book "Magic". The funny thing is that I have the book for about a year now and didn't even realized this effect is on there!:D I was just going to ask all of you what the name of the effect is but I finally found it after...

What is the name of this trick where a magician takes off his jacket (mostly a suit) and a glass filled with water appears from inside the sleeve? I've seen many people perform this at the Magic castle but can't find any sources of where to learn it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

My top 3 effects that I carry with me at all times and always perform when asked to see some magic are listed below. Obviously, I always carry a deck of cards but here are three non-card items that absolutely enjoy performing lately. 5 and 1 transpo I always carry this effect in my wallet and...

Spring, Thumb fan, pirouette card spin, and ribbon spread turnover.

Congratulations Michael! I wonder why there weren't as many submissions this week.

I've seen Michael Stern perform this two times up close at the magic castle and trust me, it looks even better in person. I will definitely be getting this. Thank you Zach and Michael!

Here's my entry. This is my presentation of the Followers by Dani DaOrtiz. I've also added a kicker ending because I always felt that the effect lacks an ending in someway. I haven't got a chance to film a live performance of this effect yet but since the contest ends tonight, this video is just...

Rick: Thank you very much again for your help to make this show a success, I can't thank you enough! Yes, I read in the instructions and it also told you to use different colored gums, the thing is that I can't find anything other than pink gums in the store that I went to. I'll stop doing this...

Here are the routines that I will perform, and these all came from my previous kid show performances. Plays very well for different audiences. 1. Fiber Optics Routine 2. Acrobatic Knot 3. Rising Doll 4. No tear Newspaper 5. Slush Powder Routine 6. (W)hole thing by Daryl 7. Dove Pan Production 8...

So I thought I'd write an overview of my show to see what things I needed to improve in the future and maybe get some advice from the audience members as well as my friends and family. So my former English teacher hired me to perform a show for his New Year Eve's gathering, there were...

Thank you very much Shane for this great New Year gift. I never seem to find a 3 fly routine that is right for me but after I watched your video, I will be adding the routine to my repertoire very soon. This is the first trick I learned in 2012 and I really do appreciate you taking your time to...

Thank you very much Justin and Rick for your positive feedback and advice, no words can explain how much these advice means to me, they truly help me improve.

I did a paid kid show magic on New Years Eve and thanks to your advice, the show was great and the kids all ran up and hug me and asked to take pictures in the end;)

Thank you Justin! You're right, he did say that in the end, but then again, I told him that I can even do the effect with his cards. Thank you for the advice, I'll keep this in mind the next time I perform this effect, thanks a million!

Wow, there are a ton of great advice here, thank you so much everyone for your feedback, this is exactly what I needed!!! Jacob, the funny thing is that I didn't rehearse my patter at all. I have a rough idea of what my patter and presentation is going to be and basically just came up with it...

Here are my performances at my friend's christmas party, hope all of you enjoy and to whoever leave me any feedback, I guaranteed you will get lucky! These effects are what I always use for my table hopping or walkaround magic, very practical. Part 1...

For me it's industrial revelation, rising voodoo doll, and an erdnase color change. These effects are vidual but not too visual that will make the spectators think that you're using sleight of hands to accomplish the effect.

The reason I told them how the effect might be done is because before the effect began I asked them whether or not they have ever seen an illusion before. The purpose of me providing these explanations for them is because I want them to realize in their mind how their eyes can be decieve of...

Thank you Jacob!
