Consider Alex2011 Banned!

Ha Ha...and you my friend are BANNED!!!

I think that most magicians who have done their homework and put in the time required do not want to spoon feed others who want to take short cuts. That is the reality of it whether you want to believe it or not. I'm not trying to sound mean or rude, I'm just telling you, that is the reason why...

And where do you think they got their material? From the classics and tweaked it to make it their own and put their own spin on it.

Alex I gave you a very good starting point that has some strong material. It is a small book that has many effects that you only have to read a small paragraph at best. Most of the effects that you are purchasing today came from these very books. Most of what is out on the market today can be...

Alex, we've been through this before. There isn't a "BEST". Everyone has different opinions on what works best for them. You will get many different responses. A good way to narrow down your choice before making a purchase for any type of magic effect is to read reviews on many different magic...

I was beginning to think the same thing. I would produce something odd that has nothing to do with flame / fire. Produce something that ties right into your next effect. Cards, coins, a sharpie, etc.

Prioritize your daily activities, make a schedule and don't procrastinate. Fit magic back into your schedule or stay up really late like I do once the family is all asleep. Jump right in....it'll come back.

A good easy place to start is with Karl Fulves Self Working Mental Magic. It is a book printed by Dover and runs about $7.00.

Craig is correct, you want to build or purchase a card fountain in order to get some high arch and height out of the cards (especially up on a stage)

Looks cool. Nice ditch of the lighter from the left hand onto the floor though. You can "hear" it hit the floor. Just keep it palmed.

You are very welcome Danny. Enjoy!

Not sure about the Nook but on Ipad yes. Magic Magazine and Genii are both very good magazines with great articles, effects, etc. The Linking Ring and FCM magazines both definitely need revamped to fit today's demographics and what young readers want.

In cases like what just happened it all depends on the mood I am in, if I have my gig case packed and ready (unfortunately I need to do a better job of this) and if it is just strolling or a full blown show. If it is just strolling I'm more apt to throw 8-10 things in my suit coat and hit the...

Ummmmm.....ha ha....not that I am aware of.

Zenn...ha ha. I was having the same issue ALL weekend long and getting pissed off...ha ha. I emailed JB and when they changed it over to 1 GB for the file size limit from the old 700MB it worked today for me. More and more people were going to run into that issue if they are using the HD...

Not trying to be rude or mean but I stopped after the first 30 seconds due to the video / music just being way out there. You definitely need to focus a bit more. A short 30 second clip of just your cardistry moves would have showed us what you can do. Perhaps try again.

I use Alliance rubber bands as well. I order through a company called Dykema Rubber Company. I use 19's

A lot of good advice has been given. You need to take baby steps with her. I like the idea of having her learn a sleight that might be used within the effect and her her demonstrate it proficiently to you first before you go on with the remainder of the effect. This shows that if she truly...

I have never had the opportunity to perform in hospitals yet but what my performing friends tell me is that many times you are not allowed to have the patients touch and hold props because of transferring germs and such from patient to patient. I do not believe you are allowed to use flash paper...
