First off, I am still writing out what I think of your other tricks, I wanted to thoroughly test as many of them as I could (all of them possibly) before sending you my thoughts. With that said, this has probably been done, torn and restored plots are very numerous. One of my favorites...

lol, if I ever planned on releasing anything I would definitely do research on it, and also get other minds in on the looking and research. I'm not actually afraid to look, but right now I'm content believing I'm the first. I also remembered, I have a new idea adding to the DG Boxsteal to...

I 'created' the Kelly Bottom Placement. :/ I have a new control that I haven't seen anywhere else (I'm afraid to look) from center of a spread to the top or into full palm. Not a move, but I also created a way to do card to wallet with a normal wallet, very clean and fun to use.

I can't verify visualness as a word or not (auto spell check doesn't think so) but the impossibility of this one is miles above the clipshift. Equally visual, one is hands on (he must have done...something) and one is on the floor (he Couldn't have done anything...). That's my take. Might get...

You should pick up some material on the Cups and Balls, it's a good lesson for everyone to learn and is a good break from cards. The routines also vary from pretty easy to complicated...depending on how long it is and what moves you use. Rubber bands are also good- as are sponge...

If you go to Menu (below 'the wire') you can 'mark forums read' and then when you come back anything that is marked new, will actually be new. If you check the forums daily, they have a 'today's post' option as well.

My girlfriend didn't even think this was gimmicked, but knew what was going on at the time of the change. I agree that the initial change is sweet, but changing them back makes the effect see through. It'd be a great closer to a stage/parlor show. The last thing you do after having an...

Sweet, gotta love the internet.

That was insane. It's been a while since a visual piece made me re-wind just to watch it again.

Welcome to the forums! I think the reason the big illusion didn't register was due to lack of relevance. You've colored coloring books, and know how long and daunting it is, so when one magically goes from un-colored to fully colored in it registers as a miracle. This is something a lot...

Thanks, glad I could help someone. It's something I developed over years of improv and jazz magic performances. I use to have 2 dozen tricks performance ready, and decide which ones will work in this situation. I think it's good to practice routines, and be able to flow from one effect to the...

You should know better...tell a kid to NOT push this button, they'll push that button... I'm cable-less so I won't be able to watch it. :-/

But I like Pick a Card Tricks :-p Everyone's been right so far, I'll give my two cents to add on. I think it's been helpful for me to have 8 or so tricks in my head. A few card, some coin, and some other prop magic (bills, straws, silverware, rubber bands...) and then one or two heavy...

I'm pretty sure Dee Christopher has a take on this effect in Pieces @3AM. If I remember correctly it's called theft and uses a small (sealed) envelope. I can't recall any other methods at the moment.

Geoff Williams TnR card is pretty ingenious. He's added a few subtleties and slight improvements on John Mendoza's Ultimate Torn and Restored Card. (Hence the name, Just a Bit More Ultimate than John Mendoza's Ultimate Torn & Restored Card) I'm a fan of it, the method is simple, it's a...

He's right, but not. It is a cliche but you, in fact, didn't say that. I purposely inferred what you said incorrectly to over prove my point. How many dozens of products in the magic industry say one thing that could possibly be true, and then most people are disappointed by the product...

Hope all went well Zach. And thanks for the info, too bad I'm on the east coast...and poor.

Fantastic journal. Sounds like you're doing well, and your audiences seem to be responding extremely well. I added you on facebook, I don't get on too much, but I'm always ready to talk magic. Hope everything stays good for you.

I don't see myself using this. However, someone who wants to put that extra shock in their supernatural performances would probably do well to buy this. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a gimmick that irritate the eyes of 50%+ of the people who use it. Safety first! ;)

It impresses me. Actually I just wanted to laugh at the reviewer. You heard about Dan Hauss' reputation as a walking gimmick and then hate his tricks because...they use gimmicks? I don't know, seems like you were expecting a ton of impromptu tricks that would magically make you a top notch...
