I found two sites that need to be looked into while searching for post links today. . . I'm sending notice to Mark and Paul as well Mark Wilson Course Paul Brook Material

Ok. . . a couple of things starting with strong encouragement in your picking up Paul Stockman's CONNECTED DVD. There is a specific routine on that disc that will fulfill your vision. There are other variations as well but Paul's method is more fluid in my opinion, and doesn't require an...

Daniel. . . welcome to the forum but you may want to introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your background in magic. Old guys like me get nervous when we see a new person with one post that is almost an advertisement for the Insurance Industry.

ENTER: Mean Old Coot Ok magicisart, I want to challenge you on some things, especially because you're so new at the craft... and understand up-front, I do this to all newbies and as William will tell you, I do it because I want to see you become the best you can, ok? If you have the Mark...

I really hope you're asking about the transfer of the ring shown towards the end of Cyril's video in that the first bit is basic slight of hand (very well done, I might add). I'm betting that his ring has been modified a bit from the standard Harbin. . . it has a much wider opening than most...

you have the 'cuteness factor'. I love that line and yes, being the "Boy Next Door" and the "All American Lad" works! I used it significantly and well into my latter 20s (I didn't have facial hair until then, so it helps). BUT, youth will limit you when it comes to the kinds of establishments...

Unless they've really cracked down on things, an audition routine doesn't have to be overly slick. Watch your time, yes but as a whole the membership audition is there to prove that you have actually read more than one book or (by today's standards) learned everything off Youtube. . . they want...

Welcome to show biz! This is the stuff that separates the real pros from people that simply get paid to do tricks. This is where producers find novelty, professionalism, as well as the chops that a true "artist" of most any craft, requires. Watch the average performer do the Broom Suspension...

From what I understand, you may want to be cautious about Benji's material as I understand things. . . stick with Michael Ammar, Bill Malone and other more established sources out there rather than those that are legends in their own mind, like Benji and guys like Jonathon Royale tend to be...

I see this sort of mad genius in young people and realize just how much better the drugs are now than they were in the 70s. . .

I'd hate to see what kind of material you're looking at eostresh. . . the majority of the material I find that tends to be the most mind-boggling. . . especially "magician fooling" tends to work on some of the simplest principles out there. Then again, I've managed to mesmerize solid card...

This is a most excellent challenge. I got a copy of the Larry Baukin Anthology some time back, which is filled with ROUTINES . . . presentational ideas or "themes" if you would, that fit with any number of classic (a.k.a. basic) effects like the Gypsy Thread, Ashes on the Arm, etc. In some...

AMEN, BROTHER. . . AMEN! You can give a dozen magicians the same exact effect and even staging and yet audiences will react differently to each presentation because of the performer his/her self. It's that strange "thing" we give off that's usually seen as "confidence" that does more to make...

When things become too "routine" no matter the vocation, it breaks you down. I've seen and experienced it far too many times; waking up and wondering "what's the use?" Every once in a while however, I happen onto that student or idea that really gets me jazzed. Those are the moments I cherish...

Ferox. . . don't know who you are, don't care. Just don't poke the old bear. I've not "attacked" Spidey, I stated that I was disappointed because I couldn't find credits given on something, I even took the bump that I may have just missed it. My critique of his performance was just that, my...

Spidey In my looking at and around the product I only found one mention of Millard as a side note in the ad. I don't recall anything other than that but if you say there is a link to the AN system I'll accept that, I just never noticed it. I'm very defensive & protective when it comes to my...

Never mind. . .

Do you have Michael Murry's BEYOND ESP decks? They will take you to all kinds of fun places. I'm not fond of ESP type routines, but that's just me. The system Michael has worked out however, is great PROVIDED you have excellent eye-sight. The "gimmick" to the cards is so subtle that most of...

Most of you familiar with my posts know that when it comes to "new" magic I emphasize the need to RESEARCH and give credit where it is due. In the case of Sneak Peak by Bedros Akkelian I found myself screaming at the screen in hope of seeing this young man deliver some INTEGRITY about his "new"...

@ Josh. . . that last link you gave me is awesome! Some seriously great stuff there. Thanks!
