    Cancer Fundraising ($4 tricks!)

    It was a nightmare Justin and I hope and pray it doesn't come back. I really don't even like to talk about it.

    Arguing With Spectators

    I have never nor do I ever plan to get in a verbal or physical altercation with a spectator. I would simply put my things away and walk away. This turns EVERYONE else who was enjoying magic around on the heckler and once he or she sees everyone is against them, 9 times out of 10 they shut up or...

    Magicians have a huge ego.

    Where's my cookie man? Ha Ha. Interesting points. I will admit that I do enjoy being the center of attention at times, making people laugh or have fun, but not near as much as watching people go nuts after I've just blown their minds. Entertainment is the name of the game! I agree, too many...

    (Don't) Stop (Believin')

    Michael, I really liked it, but I agree with the moving the blue and red cards around like that. It just looks silly and it is not needed. D ICE R is correct in that covering the card that is selected is necessary so somehow change the attention or patter even just for a few moments to get...

    Yet Another Introduction!

    Glad you decided to become active here Mahucharn! You are right...for the most part everyone is fairly friendly here and we all try to help each other out. Sometimes we have a few bad apples but for the most part they find out that if they don't shape up we ship 'em out. We all like to advance...

    What is the best format for a preview/tut video

    A lot of that comes with experience editing and have the proper software. For example if you are a Mac person, you probably would edit in iMovie or Final Cut Pro and if you use a PC you are probably going to use Pinnacle, Sony Vegas, or other PC type software. Through use of images...

    forcing stuff through sounds?

    I do not know much about psychological forcing within music, but the way you phrase your patter with different words and vowel sounds can lead a person to choose certain suggestions that you want to be forced. For those of you who own the Comical Mental effect Cereal Killer you'll know what I...

    Issue with uploading

    Chances are it is your browser. I would use Google Chrome and try again. Those file sizes are plenty small enough so that isn't the issue. I had received that same error many months ago and I was using Safari and / or Firefox on a Mac and once I switched to Google Chrome it was fine.

    Sneak peek at new effect

    It is hard to judge a picture. Anyone can make a photo look good. How about a live video from start to finish from beginning to the end so we can see if it is even practical? Then it is much easier to see if you have in fact created something quite nice. I'm not being mean...just playing the...

    What is the best format for a preview/tut video

    Tell us what you are using to shoot with. Is it a HD camcorder a DSLR? Are you lighting sufficiently? What program or software are you editing and exporting in? These answers will help us improve your footage.

    Performance nerves

    I like to go out and meet the crowd a little bit a head of the show (if it is a stage show) and talk to some of the people and even show them a quick close up effect or something to calm myself. I noticed that Jeff McBride did that this past weekend. He came out into the crowd and blew some...

    Performance nerves

    Nervous feelings are good because they mean that "you care" if you mess up and want to put on a great performance. I do not get nervous any more performing close up because I have done it over and over and over again as Reality One mentions. I however have not performed very many stage shows...

    Cancer Fundraising ($4 tricks!)

    You guys are INSANE if you don't jump on this offer. PR-aces alone is worth twice that amount. I love it. I'm just now looking into the others.

    Nice job. You are good at entertaining the crowd. They seemed to enjoy your personality.

    Street Magic Adventures

    Great info Will. That review is EXACTLY the stuff I want to hear about. Carrying less stuff and getting mileage out of what you have is probably definitely the way to go. I think a balloon swallow is visual for sure and would make people come over. I'd just be careful on that one though because...

    Just thought I would introduce myself.

    Hi Josh, Glad to have you here. Be sure to soak it in, but not all at one time. Check out our forum rules, learn to use the search function, I'd download some FREE effects on the Wire for sure. We have a lot of knowledgeable people here. Some are full time, some semi professional some...

    New Magic Shop

    Randy..you are correct, but most of the time once you have been to the shop a few times and it is in your home town....they are nice to you and will tell you whether it is a good purchase for you or not. If you are just making a one stop shopping experience out of town or you are from another...
