Or even tell the story of the Christmas orange and do the card to orange. If you have a huge audience this may not be the best but in my experience it plays bigger than you'd think.

Haha but everybody loves Mike and Craig. Besides it's a good argument, Craig has brushed shoulders with David in the past and Mike works on his creative team currently.

This one's my favorite :) Very intricate and realistic! Congratulations Justin your entry was very creative :)

You might check out the Vanishing bandana. It's sure to get some laughs and you don't have to worry about scripting or a microphone. If this is your first time you should definitley check it out. Here's Where You Can Purchase It Here's a good clip of it in action

Autumn, when the leaves turn colors. In the U.S. it starts around September and goes to November.

Yeah, Dodd I've listened to all of the episodes available on itunes right now including the ones you mentioned above. I've listened to the Bill Malone one 4 or 5 times. What I meant was a round table discussion on Ed Marlo similar to the Miller discussion. You've had Johnny Thompson on the show...

Big boxes need to be justified just as much as a sleight or movement. This is a disconnect between close up magicians and stage magicians. The better stage magicians out there understand this the bad ones don't. Jim Steinmeyer once said "There are only about 2 places that making an elephant...

I've never been to Dan and Dave's lecture but I kinda know what to expect from most lectures and I've heard about their lecture. You'll probably want to take a deck of cards, I hear they go over some little known Larry Jennings material. I like to ask before hand if they mind if I get an...

They just barely finished filming it

Good point, I do think the tear is worth it. We've all run into those spectators that insist on shuffling the cards. Or in the middle of a TNR they say "Can I tear it?" and in this instance you can say yes. I think that if we point out the sound and feel of it ripping then this trick is worth a...

They are both awesome effects!

Yeah the fact that it is a design from over a hundred years ago is kinda cool :)

Also as far as refills go you could check out Dalton Wayne's "Biteme". It is a similar effect with a different method. He uses an ungimmicked card but the preparation only needs to happen once and then it can be reused. It might be good to use Dalton Wayne's mixed in with Blake's.

Tonight I shall make a toaster so that Mike can make toast for your continued success

I like Calen's DVD. Lots of the effects rely on gimmicks but there are a few things that are pretty sweet. If you want things you can perform at school I would look into Greg Wilson's On the Spot DVD :)

I thought they said it was going to be for free?

With all of the torn and restored card plots out there it gets me wondering why would anyone want regeneration by Blake Vogt? There are a ton of TNRs out there and theory11 has a whole bunch for sale. There's a handling by Mathieu Bich, Blake already has one out and there are a couple by Wire...

What if that spectator was giving you covert signals as to the identity of the other spectators cards, or that spectator was going to slip a card into a spectators pocket or hand bag for a future revelation? I would say that any method works as long as it is artfully employed. I think I heard...

This is an example of making something work for T.V. that wouldn't have worked otherwise. If anybody has properly performed the levitation David uses in his live performances than you know that it can work out great but wont stand up to repeat viewings. For that I understand why he did what he...

Craig you know I respect you and your knowledge but I'm going to break down your post a little bit and be a devils advocate. In modern magic I agree with your statement "We should NEVER demonstrate on camera anything we cannot replicate live". In the Melie example I believe he is one of the...
