    Creative Magic Inventors

    I was amiss to mention Kevin James but there are a few other old chums from my youth that should be included as well, like Franz Harrary, Jay Scott Berry, and Rudy Colby. Needless to say there were the builders of the day like John Gaughan, Bill Smith, Willie Kennedy, and long before Creative...

    Creative Magic Inventors

    I think this really centers on the area of magic you study. The guys you list certainly fit a particular niche but to an old box pusher like me, they wouldn't be applicable. I'd really have to burn some brain cells on this question in order to refine it.

    What is Mental Magic?

    Ok. . . I know Jimmy fairly well but look at where his career has gone vs. his buddy Banachek. Steve focused on one thing and his career moved forward at an escalated level for a number of reasons but the important one was FOCUS. I love Jimmy to death, he's come up with some great stuff but...

    New to Mentalism

    Who let you in here? ;-) First of all, Corinda is one of the "bibles" of Mentalism and a book you should keep on your shelf and at easy access. But I would like to point you to a list of FREE pdf downloads that might help you answer some initial questions; MENTALISM COLD READING SWAMI Each...

    A business proposition

    I've heard the argument over going through a publisher for years and I've also seen many a writer get screwed in the process, and by some noted publishing houses. Sorry but when someone is paid thirty cents for every book that sells after they've done all the footwork (research), the labor of...

    Misdirection books or best sources to improve

    A business proposition

    Ok, there is a huge difference between producing a video and getting published, so which is it you're actually wanting to do? Publishing means that your write out a manuscript, have someone proof read and help you edit it as well as fact check your details when it comes to historic accuracy...

    A business proposition

    I'm glad someone else caught this before I went off on "ware" vs. "where". . . at least he did want to "wear" someone. . . As to the whole "business deal" Steerpike is 100% on the money; you've got to become established and "trusted" when it comes to product and knowledge. Far too many young...

    What do you do outside of magic?

    Reading through this list kind of got to me in that I was once a bit deep into the Martial Arts world and doing stunt work as well as enjoying the love of rather large circus critters (a wide range) Magic is something that is such an intricate part of my life that it is a challenge to find...

    How do you explain magic morals?

    PAV. . . thanks for your insights, very parallel to my own thoughts. We are all born, regardless the culture or social environment we live in, with a sense of right vs. wrong and those that knowingly STEAL . . . let me rephrase this . . . There is a such thing as "borrowing" when it comes to...
