    SIX New Releases + Free White Monarchs - Friday!

    I don't believe it says anything in your confirmation email regarding the decks or uncuts. You just see it when you check out on the green bar above the cart section.

    Levitating objects and invisible thread.

    I will second Will's vote on the Vector thread. I've heard very good things about it's strength, but it is a bit thicker than than Mesika. Supposedly it is strong enough to hold an entire deck of cards. E's Guerrilla guide to Loops is pretty sweet as mentioned by montemaster, so you can't go...

    Levitating objects and invisible thread.

    I understand your frustration on the learning curve and snapping them. I bought a pack of 5 (a few years ago) and think I had them all snapped in a half hour....ha ha. Something else you can try is go to your local craft shop (Pat Catans or JoAnn Fabric) and purchase invisible elastic...

    Camping Magic!

    You won't regret purchasing Free Will. I have had 2 of them (due to losing a wooden chip at the airport) and use it in EVERY single close up show I do whether it is impromptu or paid. Think about your surroundings as well. You could do: Cups and Balls with mashmallows and cups. Torn and...

    Teller floating red ball trick.

    I could fully recreate it from my memory for you from my viewing of the show. No, in all seriousness it is a really cool effect. It is fun and playful yet magical. You almost don't want to know how it's done because you are just sitting back in your seat enjoying the moment. I'll keep an eye...

    What's your favorite deck?

    Hands Down...my vote is for Split Spades and darn it if anyone has some.....(hint hint). For some reason they just look mean and handle like no other. They've also lasted longer than most decks while maintaing the ability to Faro, pressure fan, etc. I'm hoping David's new deck are the exact...

    That was an awesome quote Bizarro: "Magic is inherently not entreating in the traditional sense of the word and at the end of the day people would rather have a good time than be fooled by some schmuck in a suit." Well put my man and so very true. I think the very best magicians can both fool...

    Interesting...I would love to sit and watch old footage of Vernon and some of the greats in live situations. That would be a great DVD set. If someone compiled live footage / performances from all the old masters.

    SIX New Releases + Free White Monarchs - Friday!

    The 4 packaged together items that haven't been done in the past 100 years are the following: 1.) A Wand widdled by a gnome from an ancient redwood tree 2.) 3 Cups that were cast from precious metals unearthed during the Cretaceous Period 3.) 3 Balls that court jesters used to juggle while...

    Toby, I just normally like to end in a ribbon spread right in front of them on the table, but yes, by all means I see how you could just do the hand to hand ribbon spread and it still probably plays fine. Thanks for the love on this thread as well. :)

    Summer Magic challenge

    Well said David, an effect is kind of worthless until it has been audience tested quite a bit instead of sitting in front of a web cam. I would rather watch 5 outstanding-real life performances of jesuspuerta blowing some minds with a few solid good routines than 1 per day over the summer...

    SIX New Releases + Free White Monarchs - Friday!

    Hmmmm....I guess I'll have to pop in this Friday since I don't have to work. Oh wait...I don't ever work a day in the summer because I am a teacher. Ha Ha. Any how, I'll definitely be dropping by to see what all gets released.

    I would have loved to have seen Goshman live. I heard his misdirection due to his personality was unbelievable to the people as they were fooled time and time again. Good point about being good with the tough stuff but even better with personality.

    Well said Craig. Thank you for your input and hearing that from you makes me feel even better about being an "entertainer" and not a card move monkey. By no means am I slamming skilled card technicians because I thoroughly enjoy watching card men, but some times people (including myself) think...

    Spectators with mixed feelings?

    Don't feel bad...I've had the EXACT same thing happen at a wedding reception. Elderly couple....husband didn't want anything to do with magic and wife wanted to see a few things. It is a difficult situation because you want to respect the husbands wishes yet you don't want to cause a scene or...

    I normally do sloppy triumph as well ALL of the TIME, but tonight I had to work round tables of 8 and the guests were eating so it would have had to been all in my hands and I like to do the full ribbon spread on the table. Danny, you are right. You probably could have started doing gigs...

    I just returned from a corporate gig that my mentor and I split between the two of us. He worked the first hour and I worked the next two because he was off to another gig. I always try to learn something new from each and every experience. It was interesting to see him out performing knuckle...
