    What do you answer when somebody asks: How do you do that?

    I look through the person using my hypnotizing gaze and say "it is magic" they don't question. No, but really I just say it is plenty of years of practice in the magical arts.

    Russian Roulette with Acid

    Why would you want to risk your insides? Isn't a huge spike through your hand enough? Personally I hate Russian Roullette routines because no matter how Fool proof it is, it isn't 100 percent. I for one don't want to risk my hands for one effect.

    Swallowing Thread

    I think you shouldn't have a problem if you use 100 percent cotton. But I am curious onto which method you are using to pull string from your stomach. I met a guy who actually threads thread under his skin and uses a razor to cut it out. He uses cotton so I guess it is okay if you swallow it.

    Risk and Reward

    So what you are saying is that your reverse engineering and piracy are the same ethically? Just one is a little less work. I was only using that as an example, nothing else. If I read this correctly you are saying that a non public domain trick, is an effect that is openly marketed to...

    Cart to Impossible Places

    I do not know a marketed effect, but I have made my own. A good way to tackle this is reverse engineer it in your mind. First go through the possible ways to achieve the effect, once you get a general idea of what you want it to look like act it out. Like say if you want a card to a salt shaker...

    Ever spent months on something the audience never sees?

    I once created an effect that cost 100 dollars to create then realised I will never perform it for anyone, simply because I believe it is a risk fto myself and audience members. Hint it involvs a gun.

    Need Help With The Stage

    Wait so you want to do 3 Illusions in 3 minutes. Crap you'd have to go Hans klok speed times two. Skip the big stuff and stick with the little, less is more. The salt pour is a good idea, just make sure you do it over a sheet or into a bucket. 21st century silk is a good one, or for a little...

    My Magic Outfit

    Yeah, or if you want to go really morbid go to a cemetery, it'll only cost you a shovel. But seriously I do not know why a Halloween store didn't cross my mind. If you can't find one of those you could always go to a theatrical supply store that rents costumes and rent your clothing.

    Risk and Reward

    Not really, If you perform a classic pass like you are cutting the deck is it still the classic pass? Ahhh I couldn't tell if this was an actual question so to get right to the point... Yes I know there is a problem with the magic market. I choose the later, plus if I ever do get arrested...

    Criss Angel Continues To Embarass The Magic Community

    Lets just say it was from a well respected magician that I was just chatting with on another site. They respectably asked to remain anonymous, but lets just say Criss isn't the shizz there in vegas with magicians. His friends are few and far between.

    Risk and Reward

    Define Respected. The only people I see on this forum being respect all the time are the artists themselves. Duhh, a hard legal copy, I am speaking of course if the dvd really is that good. Now it may seem that I have downloaded many dvds. Tis not true only about 5 most of them single effect...
