The only problem with Benji is he feels like the used car salesman of magic. He's slick,slimy, and came out of no where with his "make money now doing magic" sales pitch. There may be nuggets of wisdom in there sure, he had to have gotten them from somewhere. Honestly I'd just be very careful...

No I removed the other two. I felt they were just too graphic.

I thought about not posting this reply for probably a good part of this afternoon. I mean on one hand you're obviously a talented performer so you should know the risks and dangers of doing something invasive as this but on the other hand I've just gone through a personal experience that kind...

Classy. I know you've got talent. I'm glad to see a video that finally displays it without all that silly stuff thrown in with it. Well done.

There is a person at the Castle who does bookings for group events, and I'm sure you'd qualify for that. I don't know if they assign you a member to get in through, or if they just wave you in. I don't know how that works but I'd call the Castle and start there. Members do have guest lists...

The human pin cushion has been around for ages, so this certainly isn't anything new. That being said it certainly doesn't make it any easier to watch someone else do it. X.x The video, for what it is, is good. I like the premise but I get very nervous about doing something like pin...

I would highly recommend Googling, and then purchasing, a book called "Scripting Magic" by Peter McCabe. Best book you'll ever read on this subject.

I'm not trying to berate you over your topic man. I'm just trying to give you a realistic point of view on the subject. Honestly there is only so much "technology", if you will, that can be put into designing a deck of playing cards. Most decks are either cheap mass produced dollar decks or...

There is no such thing as "best" deck. There is only so much you can do to a deck of cards and most brands produced by the magic community pretty much cover it all. There is nothing a deck of cards can do for you that the presence of skill and practice can't achieve. With that being said its...

The best way to handle sites like this is to just out right ignore them. Don't post their links, don't talk about them, don't give them any attention, and certainly don't go rushing back to join their forums just because it looks like they've turned over a new leaf. Just because the mods have...

Just thumbed through it, and it's actually not bad for a freebee. Props guys, well done. I may have to play with the Phantom Card in the days to come myself.

So what exactly is it?

Oh lord if only Prae was still active here. I think he's from Sydney.

So I got the tip off that I'm being pulled in to a reality TV show as a member of a performing Burlesque troupe. I've been told that I was pitched as the mind reading master of mystery of the group. It's kind of cool considering I'm also one of the few male members of the troupe as well. I...

Howard's effing brilliant with cards! But yes watching him work is like watching Leonardo paint, or Bach compose. He's that good... And it's true what they say about him. Very humble, quiet man. Quite approachable, very knowledgeable.

I've always wanted to walk into the middle of a church and do that effect to their baptismal. Just for kicks and giggles... Then again There's probably a reason why I don't go to church very much too.

Oops! Here you dropped this name back there. Thought I'd just go ahead and pick that up for you.

I hear he also wears shoes too...

Reality One: Or you can spend 24.95$ on Shaun Robison's Cinch and get a MUCH cleaner, better looking, better performed version of a multi-bill change that ends clean. Or you can spend $40 bucks on Mark Wilson's Course in Magic, or on a Tarbell book, or on a Card College book, or on Designing...

Thanks Rick! Great notes. I hope this thread doesn't die because this has some good info in it.
