This is an easy one, it is me.

If you are planing doing paper balls over the head I would recommend framing it as Copperfield did. It seems to me that by using his presentation would help get the audience as a whole on your side for the effect. Plus you can always throw the paper into the fire to end clean.

That is kind of cool

The setup for missing link takes a few seconds (2 or 3) as for the rubber bands any will do but he does recommend two different colours and one being a thin strecthy tan band.

The only problem that I can see is that most of those effects play very small. Your best bet would be do a bit more stand up magic. So ropes are good whereas something like flow or pressure may not register as much as you may hope.

If you are doing something mentalism based I would advise against the ID or BW because I am sure that someone knows them inside and out. Your best bet is the Hoy Book test or even something that has a real basis in psychology like hypnosis (just a few tests), idiomotor response or something of...

The cut is called the Thompson Cut. It is taught in many books and DVDs. Ben Earl has a sleighty more elaborate handling on disc two of Past Midnight.

There is switch craft that is amazing. Personally I use a variation on the baker switch.

Why do they have to be one or the other? A lot of the work I do is a combination of being bold and safe at the same time. Dual Reality is a perfect example of this for the most part. If you take a classic of mentalism in the blindfold routine 90% of the time the method is that you can see...

It was more a playful jab at Mikk because I have help him so much with various acts ever since Dangerous came out.

Nah Mikk Draven said you would make a great mentor. Anyway my name didn't get mentioned but I am pretty cool with that.

A lot of Daniels projects have never materialized. I understand that he has every right to hold onto his work but he creates a lot of hype about his ideas and they never really go anywhere.

Thumb tips are nice because they can be easily put on and taken off, however they do tell a little more than the boon. Your best bet is to go to a real magic shop and ask to try a few to see waht workds for you.

In the mean time why don't you make an unofficial mentor threads where some has to apply to you with a short essay and atleast 3 referal essays from members. If you think that they are worthy you just their names to your list. I am sure the bump police will keep it near the top of the threads.

if you use the classic ABCD method it is very transparent. If you use the one in Corinda not as much.

There is an ebook on Osterlinds site also Mind Mysteries 2 is a whole dvd devoted to it

I like this idea but we have a sort of unofficial version with people who are respected among the forums. The mentor would also have to be able to say no if they are too busy to take on more students. Although the maturity of some of the members on this board my make it hard for the firmer...

I am pretty sure Sankey is not on the best terms with Criss. Banachek is very professional when you ask him about Criss but at the same time does not say anything overly nice about him. The overal impression that I get is that he is very hard to work with and often goes over the top.

That made me feel like I was playing The Sims, but it was still amazing.

I loved maths at school and I was enterained all the time. We had some girl who was a little bit crazy. So like once a month she would snap and throw a chair or a handful of pens. It was like watching something about to fall you know it's going to happen you are just waiting for the when...
