I agree but my personal "out" on this issue is that I only use the Rider-Wait deck for doing such things, or one of the more comical decks like the Smurf or Peanuts type. It is quite rare that I'll do anything using my working deck, the exception tends to be when I'm faced with a person that's...

Congrats! I've some fond memories of that stage and the building itself, but it's changed so much since my time there and too, there's barely a person left living that I remember from back then, outside my own peer group. Best of luck!

For starters you're not yet rich & famous e.g. your hands are only valuable to you. Until you build a base the course you are talking about is bloody expensive and a general headache for what it really is -- a Publicity Stunt. Loyd's or Lord's of London (forget their proper name) is the...

Similar effects have been around for a few decades, most notably starting with the Cassette Tape type recording system (though dated, they still sell for a small fortune) and I do believe there is at least one that's at least being performed, using a disc. I'm not wise as to what method is...

Well, I'm certainly not out to start a Paddle Trick trend, I used this only as an example to things I've not seen anyone speaking of let alone cultivating. I think I mentioned dice routines in there too and hopefully implied that there are a myriad of other things in our world that get pushed...

~Forgive Me If This is a Duplicate Post~ I'm pulling my hair out in that I no longer own a copy of Bobo but am in hope that you may know the name and reference effect for a specific coin move. . . The move was usually employed for making a ditch. . . the performer flicked the coin into the...

I'm pulling my hair out in that I no longer own a copy of Bobo but am in hope that you may know the name and reference effect for a specific coin move. . . The move was usually employed for making a ditch. . . the performer flicked the coin into the fold of the opposite arm, which could then...

Yesterday I thought it would be a neat idea to start threads here and at E that would give us a kind of "Secret Santa" advantage. . . members would list effects exclusive to that particular site that they would love to have for the Yule Tide holiday; similar to the Wish Lists you find at...

I'm not certain that I follow but understand that my brain shorts out with great frequency. . . my short term memory is especially troublesome, but thanks anyway, I'm here to help however I can.

You said it was "new" material so my saying that you need to tighten the scripting should be no surprise. The "Chocolate" routine was quite clever but I enjoyed the visualization you did with the boy at the end of the video. . . while you were redundant in your spiel, it still came across quite...

Ohio is one of the more active states when it comes to magic and for a very long time (prior to "the cinema" you might say) it was one of the "Capitols" of magic. In my home town of Springfield there is a now falling apart theater that was once the main booking house for Vaudeville acts...

Something that I have done on Halloween and in my family stage show a few times (many years ago) was a Miser's Dream that starts out with real coins but once things get moving I started producing chocolate coins and giving them out to the kids. . . it get's a very positive reaction while lending...

I understand and actually agree with you Christopher, but I think you get the gist of where I was coming from; to be 17 and busting your chops only to have a schmuck harass you in this way . . . it's the kind of thing that often results in the hobbyist never doing magic again or at least, not...

No, it's not "possible" that the guy was a "jerk" he IS a jerk! Any adult that treats a kid in this manner should be seriously outed in public for being an ass. . . then again, he probably is a bully in real life or worse, the one that gets dominated easily so when he finds a "soft" target, he...

Me too, I'm an old fart that can't stand that kind of crap. I want to see the magic not someone's editing techniques.

Think about what effects YOU ALREADY HAVE before spending the money in your pocket. For instance, do you have a set of sponge balls or bunnies? What about Cups & Balls or even Books/Video on Improvisational & Bar type Magic? Look for things that are simple, of genuine value and that work with...

It really boils down to situation AND the kind of effect you're dealing with. Most people want to see it again so they can find the chink in your armor and see how it's done. This is why I always have a variation at hand when it comes to key pieces that I've had this sort of request on. When...

. . . Wow! And people call me a walking encyclopedia . . . Wow!

Thank you for your kindness, it's just my job these days.
