    Art of Astonishment

    Let me put it this way... YES, it is worth it. If you get only one of those, and it doesn't matter which one, you will have your hands full of material. You can't go wrong with either, but you will go right with both of those... Good luck

    To be (you), or not to be (you).

    When I said "presentation", I meant "patter". I corrected that now. My bad. I think that too much jokes and goofiness and playing stupid, can really draw away from the result we want to achieve. The more goofy you are, the less mysterious you are. So the people will think that you can do...

    Master Levitation System

    Am I the only one that noticed that Fearson's Master Levitation System is half the price of Tarantula? MLS 39$ ; Tarantula around 70-75$ Anyone knows why is that?

    To be (you), or not to be (you).

    Ups, my bad. Vernon said "Never present magic without patter" and Blaine said "That doesn't make any sense". Hope it is more clear now, thanks for pointing my mistake.

    To be (you), or not to be (you).

    I just red in another thread (Skilled Hobbyist vs. Magician) something that got me thinking. Benjamind said this: "People - performers - need to put some freakin' personality into their performances (for REAL PEOPLE, NOT THE CAMERA) if they want an inkling of a good reaction. Be funny. Be...

    True Astonishments - Favorite Trick?

    They are all equally great. I love "Half Moon Voodoo", "Ripped and Fryed", "Cellmates".... Now that I think of it, I love all of the effects. Great great set.

    Skilled Hobbyist vs. Magician

    Just take TA for example... The hardest thing on the set is "biddle steal" (sleight), and you can see the astonishment on peoples faces. There are silent reactions, laughter, screaming reactions etc. with basically no sleight at all...

    Palming Different Things

    Those little plastic milk cups that you get with coffee (you what I'm talking about, those little plastic milk cups things that you can buy at the supermarket) lol... They also fit great inside the hand... Hey, wait a minute... You guys don't know me... Hell, if praetoritevong can palm...

    Controversies in Magic

    Rabies the Berserker is right. People by the time when they are 30, only thinks that they have it together. I mean, just remember what you did and what you thought few years ago. You probably thought then that you know everything, and yet you are laughing at yourself now for how little did you...

    TA - Double or Single Layer?

    Or maybe the guy who asked the question wants to pirate them?

    Top Shot practice?

    Instead of pulling the little finger down like in ego/cardini change, try to extend it (if you hold the deck in the left hand, extend the pinky towards the right hand).

    TA Order

    Yeah, my discs also vibrate. My DVD player sounds like a dish washer or something... Don't know what to do... I bought it from Alakazam magic.

    The Magic Chapter 3: A Wrong Turn

    I understand... But maybe you should mention it in the story, because (for me) it really stood up. It poked my eye and my (small :) ) brain...

    True Astonishments - Pros and Cons

    Yeah, that makes more sense now. But if you have TA set, you know that tape will only damage the effects. And in most of those tricks that you need to sign or draw something on the card, it is a pretty large surface, so (in my opinion) it wouldn't look nice... But great thinking

    The Magic Chapter 3: A Wrong Turn

    Hey man, loved your stories. Too bad that we have to wait a week before the sequel ;) But just two things tho. Firstly, you have a lot of spelling mistakes. It can be annoying sometimes, and some of the words, if spelled wrong (even one letter), can have whole different meaning. And that is...

    True Astonishments - Pros and Cons

    Yeah, I know what you mean. But I think that stickers will just steel the focus of the effect, and magic itself. All of the spot light will be on the stickers, like "why is there a sticker on the card? Is it some kind of magic sticker that does all the work? I've never seen a card with a sticker...

    True Astonishments - Pros and Cons

    Glad you liked it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Hmmm, what kind of stickers?

    True Astonishments - Pros and Cons

    This is not the review of the effects, but just my general opinion of pros and cons of this set. This is totally subjective, but it may help someone... Well, as a lot of people already said, this is the best purchase I have ever made (and not just in magic) ;) I'm serious, this DVD set is...
