I'm actually not a move monkey at all Chop. I use only 2 controls, 2 false shuffles, about 3 forces, a tilt, and a Double lift. This is plenty to fry 99.9% of layman unless their brother is a close up magician as well...ha ha. I kind of laugh when I see a Book or DVD on 101 ways to Force a...

Thank you for the input and I will now close it.

Gentleman, I am not here to give the "can't we all get along" speech. The profanity will not be tolerated and his post was edited. Fellas, everyone is here for the same reason: We all live and breath magic and want it to be a part of our life and share it will those around us. We have to...

Pete, did you PM David with your effects yet? You can post them here as well if you want or if you don't want to...feel free to PM me as well. Between the two of us we should be able to get you pretty well set.

Just checked with Lloyd and he wants it left exactly how I have it. I am always brutally honest because that is what I look for when I read reviews and deciding on making that purchase. I completely understand your thoughts on me talking about the method though. With A TNR, I think the person...

RESTORED – Lloyd Barnes The Effect A Torn and Restored (TNR) card Method Requires A Duplicate Card, which allows for a front and back restoration. Some people do not like using a “dup,” but being able to show the front and back throughout the routine outweighs any cons. Signing the card...

Pete...I'm swamped with school work right now, but I will tell you one thing right away and then I'll get back to you tomorrow with all of my advice. You cannot do more than 30 minutes for 6-7 year olds. Their attention span doesn't last that long. You'll be asking for trouble trying to...

This is EXACTLY what I try to do as well. Great minds think alike Jamie. Ha ha.

Bankrupt Review – Lloyd Barnes The Effect / What the Spectator Witnesses (A 2 Phase Straw through Bill Penetration) Run time = 19 minutes A borrowed bill and straw or your own bill and straw can be utilized to make the magic happen. The spectator is able to watch a straw penetrate a...

ACCESS REVIEW The Effect / What the Spectator Witnesses A spectator’s selection or even signed selection miraculously appears inside of a seemingly empty card box. It happens in a split second and is indeed visual. This effect also can be used as a card change as well. The face of the...

Michael, I love the fact that you are doing magic and sharing videos, but I'm just going to be blunt and say, "Let's see it for a live audience where we the viewers aren't constricted to the camera shot. I love watching your routines for people in every day real life. This effect and your last...

Awesome...thanks for letting me know that. I will definitely continue doing that then.

Split Spades Lions are probably one of the best decks I've used as far as all around look, handling, durability, the ENTIRE package.

Wow David....when do you fit all of that reading in? Ha Ha. My house is chaos with my kids running around and such until about 10 PM when the house is quiet. Nice list of books.

I would love to hear how this goes for you. Please share afterwards so we can see what went well and what you learned from the experience. Have a blast man.

If it were me trying to make the gift, I would find something that was important to her (not a deck of cards) and some how manage to get it into the bottle or a similar "impossible location" to create the wonderful gift. My creative juices are about dead for tonight probably because I've just...

The key to 3 card monte is not to challenge your audience. You can't allow it to become a guessing game or they will purposely pick cards that are not the one and then they will start finding the one they aren't supposed to. I've seen this happen a million times and especially with kids. When...

VERY VERY True Steer. Excellent point and well taken. I've been there and laughed before anyone else and it kind of creates this weird feeling among everyone. Ha Ha.

Also...keep an index card or some type of filing system of who the client is, when you performed there, and what effects you performed because if you get called back 2 years later...that business or client does not need to see the exact same show again. You should have new material for the most...

I've been into magic 12 years Jacob...just never really started getting into the paid performances until about 3 years ago. It will come with time. My biggest thing that helps is networking. Because I am a school teacher, wrestling coach, Eagle Scout, go to church, I'm constantly meeting and...
