Well, here in AMERICA...I can't even type that with a straight face. No, it sounds very similar to what you're describing. Except the sandbox part. I do know they have a playroom type area at the hospital I'm looking at. I'll have to check and see how that will work out. Namely to see if...

Good on you for expanding your horizons. As far as magic resources go. The best place you can spend your time and money is in books--not DVDs. Books are where the real secrets are hidden. It's rare for DVDs to be recommended over books. On that, my question is this: What books do you...

The move looks interesting. And I'd hate to say it, but you need to polish up the move and shoot it again. And your camera is fine. I don't know what kind of camera it is, but it looks like it shoots fine to me. In the beginning of the video, you say what to do but you 'can't do [the catch]...

It's all good. It's not about knowing English. It's about expanding your horizons in regards to magic. I've been in for a little over a year and I'm STILL trying to learn the 'whose-who?' in magic. It's going to be that way for a long time. Don't let yourself get down about it. One of the...

Either you try with fanning powder, or you get a customized deck of UNO cards made up by Bicycle or another card company that can specialize in that sort of thing. You need cards with a good finish and a custom deck WILL do just that. I recently had the idea of using Pokemon and Yugioh cards...

I wanted to combine with WyattSB's and RealityOne's posts together, but there is a 10,000 character limit on posts in the Theory11 forums. Also found out that there is a one limit 'down time' between postings. The forum has limits! Just so I have it correctly, a short skit would be utilizing...

That's what I like about magic. Having PTSD brought me to a point to where I was thinking in black & white all the time. Magic was the thing that started to get me to think in terms of 'grey'. However, 'Our Magic' being the first thing I start reading and I take it like gospel. And me being...

It's all good. I was reading 'Our Magic' and got the fear that, what I was planning to do with the children's hospital show, was just mere 'magic imitation' and wouldn't reflect well for the art of magic. I just don't want to have these ideas, and inadvertently be tarnishing the art of magic...

That is good to know! I also most got some NOC decks thinking that the faces were blank. Cant get them then. Thank you!

You COULD go with a NOC: Black deck. I think they are all blank, but if you know several card tricks that work with just a signed card, there you go! At that point, it doesn't matter what the faces are anyway. Just make sure you get 2-3 decks for 'reloads'.

It's well and good that you're interested in the many facets of magic. My only fear is that if we cater to your current request, you'll be drowned in required reading material. Start small.

I've had the missus laptop today and I've been viciously reading 'Our Magic' by Maskelyne. First off. Let me say that the first part regarding 'Art' left me feeling like someone lit my hair on fire. You kind of get this impression that everything you have done in magic, up to the point of...

Ah man! You gotta look at the stuff you don't use nearly as much anymore and treat it like the stock market: SELL! SELL! SELL! Actually, I can't say that as I have an ever growing magic list as well. And Porper is pretty low on the list. Disregard!

I know they are expensive, but I've seen A LOT of stories where people go cheap, regret it, and go Porper anyway. At least, if you want to prevent warping.

Great googly moogly! I don't want to sound like a dink. So I will! Is that thing even conventional? It looks like something an undercover magician would wear. You know, when they are in really deep and have to pack some sort of heat in an illegal magic ring.

I know that this trick is an oldie, but is there such a thing as a 'Scotch & Soda' routine that will allow you to use any coins you want? Or is this untapped/impossible territory?

What is this buffoonery? It's a ‘NOT-so-Tenyo Tuesday!’ to round out the last several weeks of ghost-ish/invisible theme to celebrate the release of Theory11’s ‘Invisible Card’. I’ve dug deep and I’ve reviewed pretty much the gambit of Tenyo supernatural tricks (save for ‘Ghost Puzzle’...

Completely agree. You'd also be hard pressed to have...or even find a gimmicked rubber band. Just to throw it out there. Ray Kosby has a rubber band routine that's actually a 'Professors Nightmare'...with rubber bands. I'm trying to find a video of it. But it's extremely neat...and knowing...

It's all about troubleshooting and appropriate breaks. Sometimes you can't learn a flourish by working it hours on end. And that's okay.

I've thought about doing something like that, but with pistol holsters of some kind. I live in Texas, it would (almost) acceptable for me to do that if it wouldn't be so dorky. Or me getting tackled every time I'd reach and get a deck out from said holster.
