I do this all of the time the day of a show / gig. I actually rehearse down in my basement with the props in hand and run through the patter as I pack up my gig case. Call me crazy but it works and puts my mind at ease because 1. I now know that all of my props are packed and set 2.) I have...

I would have to agree with that because I think everyone wants to become "the next big thing" and see their creation hit the market like Calen's Dresscode did. It is easy for us to sit behind keyboards and monitors, but it takes guts to actually get out there in the trenches and perform for...

I have been in the Magic Apple and Draven is correct that it is a nice one, however it is deceiving from the road and parking lot. You will look up and be like, "That's the magic shop up there?". Do not get in your mind that it is some huge warehouse because it isn't. It is a decent sized room...

A Coin Bag? I don't know that I have ever heard of a coin bag. Interesting.

The gimmick does break easily if you are not careful with. If you know what you are doing and using it cautiously...you should be alright but may have to fix the thread after normal wear and tear.

Formula...are you disagreeing with the "there aren't very many BAD tricks?". I have seen really crappy looking effects turned into MIRACLES with the right presentation and patter with someone who knows what they are doing. Don't get me wrong..I've bought my fair share of effects that I've...

Stresh, very valid argument. I have seen Gregory Wilson live as well and you described him to a T. He has the potential to get every lady in the house but he does not cross that line. Does he come up close to it to play into his routines and character...? Sure...it is funny and everyone has fun...

Great advice for him thus far fellas. I would also add that you also may want to develop 2 shows for stage and 2 for close up because eventually you will get a "REPEAT" client and they do not want the exact same show you just did 2 years prior. I have had this happen and then realized I didn't...

Wow...I've have not seen that before but it sounds killer.

Randy, you are exactly correct as well. If I'm just headed to the bar with a friend and it is a non paying gig...I definitely wear jeans and a t-shirt. When it is 90 degrees outside and sunny, and it is a paying gig, I normally still wear a sports coat but with a nice v neck solid T-shirt...

Great question. When you are at another venue / gig where everyone is in a suit and tie, some people will tell you to go ahead and wear a tux. Best place to get one is when all of the tuxedo stores do their end of the year inventory blow out sale. You can get one for like $50.00 and that is...

It is being released in The Berglas Effect by Richard Kauffman. Harbound book and includes 3 DVDs for $125.00

I wear a suit and a tie. You'd be surprised how people treat you when you walk into their event in a suit rather than ragged jeans and a graphic T.

That's what I was thinking as well. You do a few card tricks, make a deck switch and then go into this effect by asking them if they would like to see one more.

It is a decent price yes. Would I pay it...no way... because I only perform with bikes for audiences.

Another option is to learn a second deal and just have a spectator's card returned to the deck and control it to the top. Start dealing cards off onto the table and let them call stop and then deal their card....this gets killer reactions. Mat, I met Anthony Gerard a few months ago at...

In a 20 minute window you should be looking to perform about 3-4 effects with great patter and interaction with the crowd. Something that would play big is a Signed Bill to Lemon. A comedy rope routine or something like Fiber Optics. A Book Test or a Mentalism piece as Ced mentioned would work...

David Berglas has a very good one that has just recently been released. Check out The Berglas Effects by Richard Kaufman.

Zenn, It all depends on your own judgement. You are going to get all sorts of answers / opinions.
