    I don't know if it would be possible but it would be sweet to hear from some of Marlo's students for example Malone, Racherbaumer, or David Solomon. I think that a great discussion would be with those who call themselves flourishers or Cardistry artists. These guys are largely misunderstood...

    Beginner needs advice on practice material

    Check out page 247 in Royal Road where it talks about routines. You could try to make it a goal to learn a whole card routine from the book. As far as practicing specific sleights I'll make a goal to do a sleight 100 times in a row. I'll get a pad of paper and make a mark every time I perform...

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    I agree, it's all relative. Since high school a friend of mine and I have had a code system. Nobody ever knew he was in on it and they still don't. High School was ages ago but I still get friends who remember me and that trick I did at a party way back then. the method relied on a stooge and I...

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    Hahaha that is an effect created by David Williamson and as far as I understand it is owned by David Copperfield. He performs it live on stage with two members of the audience. Looks like you saw a cheap imitation of the real thing :/

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    No, I don't believe so. The Lumiere brothers experimented with some camera tricks, most famously The Dancing Skeleton. They use the black art principle to hide a marionette's strings on film. That could be considered a camera trick I guess.

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    This is my point for the most part. I don't believe camera tricks to be good methods for today but when this film was made I think many magicians would have thought the method to be ingenious although it is common knowledge now. At the time I am sure that this fooled magician and layman alike...

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    I'm currently taking a class in French Cinema at the local university and a clip that we watched really interested me so I thought I'd share. For those of you who have watched the film Hugo you know about George Melie. He was a magician who turned film director right as the technology was...

    Charlie Miller

    Wow, that was a really great interview Dodd. One of my top 10 for sure. I'd love to hear more under that format on other magicians like Marlo or Robert Houdin. I loved how detailed they got about teeny tiny details on Miller's pass and bottom. I think I'll even try dealing in the dark. It almost...

    Criss Angels Calls Dynamo a "Copycat"

    I didn't realize that Criss Angel was a hip-hop loving card manipulator with an Adidas sponsorship.

    Most Overused "Magic Music" At A Convention

    "I got the Magic in me" "Oh, Oh, it's magic" The Harry Potter theme I've never heard anybody go to chose a volunteer and play "Help" by the Beatles though :)
