Obviously no one can stop an individual from revealing secrets. Revealing secrets of another magicians work is unethical, dishonest and wrong. If there is a debate about it, then it is just from those who want free stuff. The disagreement is driven by greed, not a sense of right and wrong...

I think that the marketing strategy they are using is brilliant. Right from the conception. I think it uses a lot of solid ideas and lots of new ones. It's just like any other type of advertising that's effective. Love it or hate it, it works.

Don't see it in the slides. Can you post a link? thanks j

For me it was healed and sealed. j

Two words. Fire.

Hey ElisG, No offense to other posters, but there's some bad advice for openers here. Technically you can open with anything, and if presented well, you can get positive reactions. But for an opener to be really good and effective, it should be:(perhaps)visual, straightforward and to the...

Hey, it sounds good, just make sure your moves are perfected, and timed nicely to whatever music you choose. Make sure you practice with the music so you know how long you are going and when to move on. And make sure the angles will be good with your manipulations (especially the height of the...

Heh, that's a real compliment. Good job. Personally, I never pretend to do "real" magic, but whatever fits your style. j

It would be nice if there was a confirmation message after you submit your vote. great work. j

As far as "1 trick" dvd's , Stigmata was one of the best, most used purchases because of the versatility and the routines are great. If you are looking for something new, I would recommend either Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment series. Or Gregory Wilson's On the Spot DVD. Fantastic material...

Definitely good if you can get them to applaud somehow.

Man, there's a ton of great ideas here! I use the pop up move, but recently tried Sankeys Paperclipped move. Awesome. ANd to those who say that card to impossible location is not logical... what do you think is so impressive about the ACR? ="How did it get to that 'impossible location'...
