    I'm not overly sure what you're talking about. It's possible it's one of my old blogs that I've shut down, but I'm not certain. Whats the link?

    Who Here Are Members of The Magic Castle

    I've shared the stage there once with Johnathan Pendragon during a show last year. That was pretty cool.

    Halloween Party Ideas?

    American folk lore tells stories of spirits being able to be conjured by use of reflective surfaces such as mirrors. One such popular game is Bloody Mary, or to a lesser degree Candy Man. -Though I believe the Candy Man legend, like that of Slender Man, was a Hollywood created urban legend for...

    Well this is just a cluster

    I hope you learned the larger lesson here in that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Big + Tattoos + Metal hanging out of their skin doesn't always = hard core 1 percenters. On the other hand, great effect and it sounds like you got great reactions. Props on that.

    I'm going to be successful because...

    There's no formula for success that actually works all the time but I wouldn't be so dismissive. Passion is a huge part of it.

    I'm going to be successful because...

    Tonight was a pretty normal night as far as busking is concerned. Not a lot of traffic, but the few shows did turn tip. Then this family from Australia came by. I doubt I'll forget them anytime soon because of what their youngest son had said to me. He had told me that he was interested in...

    Scripting for impromptu magic

    I usually have a main script that I follow and then several little sub bits that I can do if a certain response is given, or an audience member says/does a specific thing.

    Bottom card to top

    I just overhand shuffle it. Why run if you're not being chased?

    SNC's are not fair

    The problem with this is that there is virtually no way of hosting a global challenge without it dragging out over the course of several days. That of course would defeat the purpose of the Saturday Night Challenge. That being that it's a challenge that happens every Saturday night. Now the...

    Halloween Magic

    You can try a gory version of Origami or Zig Zag Lady. That should turn some heads!

    To get this back on track I believe the jest of the advice given is to plan things better.

    Human blockhead beginner question...

    Well you're going to wipe them off sure. You don't want them dripping in alcohol when you insert, but you do want them clean.

    Human blockhead beginner question...

    Hello Lizsuch, I'm very familiar with this stunt as I've been performing it myself for a few years now. For starters, and this really is nit picking but let's not call this thing a "trick". Especially when performing it. This is a stunt. Using the word "trick" I feel implies a sense of...

    Desperate Acts of Magic

    Hey guys. Seriously get out there and help pimp this movie. Don't do it because Joe Gold is an amazing director or because he loves magic. Don't do it because I said so, or because a lot of talented magicians (including myself) are featured in it. Do it because this movie is awesome and it...

    Road's Untraveled

    What's the format you plan to use? Is it just a talk show?

    Organic

    I highly recommend an effect by Gregory Wilson called FREAK-Key if you want organic. It's classic copper silver but instead of using antiquated coins it uses house keys. Slays!

    my son's first birthday (vanishes, levitations)

    You know.... Kids really like bubbles. I know Losander has a floating bubble trick he does, though I'm not sure if it's commercially available or not... but it's another something you could look into. Just trying to brain storm for you a bit. Let us know what eventually comes of this.
