    First Effect (Let's Face It) Up & Ready!

    Also the OP said something about subjugating people to his art, blog, website or something like that. That word "subjugate" is a very powerful word. It means forcing oneself upon others even if you're not welcomed. IF the OP's intentions is to show, display, discuss, and share magic or...

    First Effect (Let's Face It) Up & Ready!

    Okay NOW I call BS. Without anything to drink you'd be dead in a week. If you are going to create magic for magicians then thats fine but don't hide behind "this is art" as an excuse to not see flaws in your work and seek to improve upon it.

    First Effect (Let's Face It) Up & Ready!

    Give him his fair chance. We all started out with a single post. It has to begin somewhere.

    First Effect (Let's Face It) Up & Ready!

    Meh I got bored 30 seconds into it and never finished the video. If I may offer you some video editing advice, to which you can take or leave it. If you're going to film a teaser keep it short. Keep it direct. Show the bill change, the transition, and show it in one clean, quick...

    Twilight

    Wow. That is a nice version. I'll have to see if I can't find a mirror that will work for the effect somewhere.

    Are you trolling me?

    Spectator guesses who's dead...

    Dammit Craig. Just when I think I'm getting to top of the mountain someone has to come along and take me back to the class room again. Actually I think it has more to do with the short attention spans of the crowds that pack into City Walk. Due to the very short time they give you it's neigh...

    Magician-fooling Magic Trick- For Real

    Honestly, and while RealityOne is dead on I would just focus your attention on Mark Wilson's to start with. If you really are new it'd be a good way to not only get exposed to a variety of tricks, and a variety of skill levels, but it will also test you on how committed you are to learning...

    How do I register on The Magic Cafe?

    Yeah you have to have a paid email account to register at the cafe, but my question is why would you want to?! The magic cafe is run by a bunch of jack asses who have no human relation skills what so ever. They sensor posts by editing or strait up deleting anything they (as a mod team) find...

    How do people create their own flourishes?

    They start off by learning the moves published by others who are working in the art. Then through constant practice and repetition they begin to master the mechanics behind WHY the moves work, and through that unconscious competency they are comfortable enough to branch out and try different...

    Spectator guesses who's dead...

    How the hell do you get those kind of reactions doing mentalism on the street? I can't for the life of me make it work. If I do a card trick the audience is with me. If I do a strait jacket escape they love me. I pull out a book test and they walk away bored.

    Hello, Welcoming myself!

    I wouldn't judge a magic community by the volume of its members. Judge it by the content of those who are active within it.

    Magician-fooling Magic Trick- For Real

    According to the forum rules on Exposure: So I don't think it matters if it's his trick or not. Posting links to a tutorial is against the forums policy. -HOWEVER- I am not a mod. So there's not really anything I can do about this. I'm just giving you a heads up so you know for the future...

    Magician-fooling Magic Trick- For Real

    Unfortunately, good intentions or not, this video does explain how the trick is done and because of that I -think- violates the forums rules about disclosing magic secrets. I'd call a mod to come over here and take a look just to be sure but I think this counts as exposure. As for the trick...

    Cardistry Showdown - Zach vs. Mario and Krist

    Well your music selection wasn't THAT horrible. Actually I've seen Fort Minor used a lot in videos trying to establish some cred in what ever it is that they do (and that song in particular). One thing you may want to consider though- is using the radio edit version of this song so you can...

    Twilight

    yeah it looks beautiful. Uses a mirror to produce coins and all. May have been the inspiration for twilight angels. I'll just have to play with it then.

    Helping Out.

    This is a noble thing you're doing. Good on you man! If I was anywhere near SC I'd be there in a flash. Let us know how this event goes?

    Rope Magic One liners

    No problem! I love Paul's work. While satire, he actually makes some good points in those vids. I had to lol because I think I use two lines from the first video and one from the second.

    Twilight

    Oh eff that crap! Please... Pixar told a better love story in UP in eight minutes that Meyer managed in four books. No I'm not talking about Twilight Angels. I'm talking about the original coin effect Twilight.
