Hey, Although I agree about practicing on a closeup mat, I picked one up from Penguin that was very nice. I just got the square black (18" I believe). I only use it during a show. I have a table that it fits on nicely. I like it a lot and it was inexpensive. It was a good purchase.

I agree, I like the darker one too. If you want to see more check out this thread : http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=6805&highlight=jtmorris ;) j

I think you missed his point entirely. He is not upset about the electric reel (which is a nice addition to the classic reel), or Mesika's talents, but he's upset about Mesika's ethics as a fellow magician, and an inventor. And OneCardWonder, I do agree about the ethics. To clarify my...

Just by reading the product descriptions I can tell you that they are very different. Aside form the fact they both use IT. Fearson's is not a reel, and as a result does not have the advantages of such. Tarantula is a motorized reel, and is capable of a great many things because of that. When...

heh it is ironic that a thread can go on so long off topic, and yet a thread about how someone's faith affects the magic they perform, get closed because that is apparently not about magic... :rolleyes: j

OTS is the best choice. I would say a far better starting point. j

Hey, thanks for posting! I have only watched the first part so far, and it was very good! Some feedback on the first ten minutes: poof part 1 Entrance:. -exude more confidence. confidence will establish applause, plus there are a couple of other ways to encourage applause (perhaps earn it...

heh, so if you already know fearson's hookup, then you should have no problem buying a product that can do much, much more than fearson's hookup

Quoted to emphasize wisdom.

I would also assume that the reel could be hooked up in a few ways. Fearson's hookup would be one of them, but not the only way to use the tarantula. The fact that it is a reel makes it a very different product than fearson's idea.

but does anyone know for sure if it uses that hookup? or if he has given credit? j

Well I assume that this is just his floating cigarette hookup repackaged to be more versatile. If you dont know the hookup, then it is a great buy. It takes your hummer card to a new level. You can literally spin the card and have it go all the way to the floor, and right up to your mouth. I...

It's important to remember that flourish tricks are put together for a very different reason than a classic trick. In a classic trick you want everything to be fairly simple, easy to follow, deliberate, and purposeful. With flourishes and flourish effects, they are their own beast. They don't...

Why can't it be both? It is the same if I use flash paper in a routine and spectators remember that their ring vanished in a ball of fire. It's not the main effect, but it adds to how the spectators will remember the event and me. The better you handle your cards, the more people will...

Actually, I really like what you have. There is some great stuff there. I like the eerie ending/hypnosis thing. I think my favorite part is the the two part whammo, they get at the start with the paper balls and chair selection. Very nice. Criticism? None really. It's very well laid out. What...

Interesting idea to use an airsoft gun. Nice work

Each area will differ significantly what each performer charges. For non profit organizations, I volunteer a lot. Hospitals, churches, and inner city ministries, have been a great place to work alongside. Sometimes they pay for my gas and other times not. For a show, my personal rate is...

Amazing read. Thanks. Lots to digest there.
