    want a good gimmick ?

    New smoke gimmick coming. Vaper. It looks pretty sick. As to the OP's question: There's a crap load of gimmicks out there man. Go with Hopping Halfs. Excellent walk around effect.

    Tricks that would be appropriate for a grand stage

    Well first things first if you only have time to do one effect (IE: Competition magic show) DON'T DO CARD TRICKS! Rising card, Sketch a Rising Card, Card to Impossible Location, etc. They are trite, over done, and completely all too common. If you are actually doing a show of good length...

    How would you define magic?

    While it is true that all magic, even camera tricks, has it's place in the craft my argument against use of such methods stems from trying to steer the young and inexperienced away from that road as it is really low hanging fruit. Cut your teeth on the stage first. Learn the ropes, then take...

    How would you define magic?

    It's simple really. If you're only audience for performing magic is the subscribers you have on your youtube channel then you are seriously missing the mark somewhere. If it can't be performed for a live audience either impromptu or in theater then it's not the kind of magic I think the...

    Halloween Stories

    The Web is a classic, don't get me wrong about that, but I think My Pet Boris just takes that effect into a whole new realm that The Web just can't reach. It's beautiful.

    Why do Penn & Teller break the rules of magic?

    Because they are showman and Penn really couldn't give a flying xxx what other magicians think of him or his magic. He's successful, famous, and good. He doesn't need other magicians adoration to validate his existence.

    Red Teams

    There is no presentation here. Just you hot shoting with cards asking people to catch you out. That's not magic, that's just doing a trick and being smug about it.

    The Unobtainable Goal

    Perfection. I admit it. I've been studying magic since I was a boy and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface yet. I've always sought to climb that mountain of magical knowledge and every time I look up at my goals they all seem so far ahead of me, out of my grasp. I seek to become...

    Razor Blade Illusion Problem

    Actually they are suppose to stick together... That's kind of how the trick works actually. Secondly this is a simi dangerous stunt, seeing as you are still putting razors in your mouth. Doing this on the street isn't something I'd recommend for someone unless they know exactly what they...

    Never More, quoth the Rave. . .

    If I had the expendable income I would snap these up in a heart beat. Unfortunately I'm not that rich right now. =/ I'll have to keep a close eye on this and see if I can't get some books when and where I am able. Thanks Craig!

    I'm having a hard time understanding what it is you are trying to say. The link is to the music video featured on rollingstone.com by artist Dave Stewart. I worked on this project and am featured in this video.
