Howdy y'all. Just got back, like literally five minutes ago, from one of the more phenomenal lectures I have been to thus far. The magician lecturing was Wayne Houchin. Wayne's lecture was entertaining and enlightening, doing one of the things I wish more magicians would do, talk about things...

I do not think you are too far off. Scept from what I have figured from the info given so far, you don't palm anything and the gimmick is long gone before the magic moment (the smoke appearing).

In the last four or five posts that have popped up over the last 48 hours about Smoke. All of your Questions has been answered. From what I gather from the other posts, which I invite you to read, you can't talk after the set up (the smoke is in your mouth), the device is hidden in plain sight...

My reactions to this new site: HOLY CRAP! My eyes! Holy crap, my finger nails are dirty. Wow this is a terrific new layout. click click So smoke isn't like Warning? Hmm more playing cards...awesome |3 I must be in heaven, cause I went toward the light.

Neither is Exo. Its all about preference. I personally love the old tallyho chats. I actually got close to some people and it was a small crowd so we actually got some stuff done, chatted about magic constructively instead of a magic jacking session. Not to mention we had a lot of fun in there...

... Did you catch all that? Bummer, Some just: Mr. Elitist you haven't yet transcended to demigod status that I have achieved. I have surpassed the need for written word and instead contact people who are on my level through mind linking. I just tried earlier to...

First of all from one elite to another, I just want to say: I find your posts to be very informative: Please oh master, I am hungry for your knowledge!

To be completely honest, when I perform I put aside personal beliefs and morals that I have been brought up on. In my current situation, if I was to be offered a high paying gig, I'd take it in a heart beat regardless of what these people do or sell. But then again I do not have much experience...

This thread gets a plus 10 for epic fail. Asherf gets plus3 in awesome for making my crappy morning less crappyh.

Nothing but my voice...mentalism. Um, I could get a few stones off the sidewalk and then use that as a cover to do cold reading. But if it is a prepared thing, I'd def. do some rope effects like the Walking Knot, which I really wish I could get out of the closet more often. Three balls trick...

Pirates are the kids who buy a dvd, get angry and decide to post it for thousands to view free of will. Even though the pirater doesn't gain anything, they do cause a significant amount of damage compared to an under the market sale. When you sell something at a garage sale, you never sell it...

I do not really have an objection to that. Under these conditions: it is done in your own household ie someone comes over and views the 1-on-1, and does not involve any sharing sights on the internet in any way shape or form.

I don't know if you do this but, If I read Hamlet, I still know the story (Secret). even though I sold my copy of the book to someone else whom I believe would benefit from reading it more then myself. However, since I no longer have the hardcopy of the book, I tend to summarize the events that...

Piracy is unethical, period. Moving on because that isn't the topic. Reselling magic tricks is perfectly fine. We resell books second hand, which esentially is a copyrighted story like a copyrighted magic idea in a book. The author of the book gained the initial profit of the book. What the...

Indeed he is Sabor.

See there is another perspective that I am sure not many knew about.

Do you really think I am that dumb? "That isn't what I am saying. If you complain about Obama getting a nobel prize after the fact, it will not matter because it is in the past. You are not Mart McFly, you can't change the future. But you can suggest that Obama not receive the noble prize...

Right, how many times have you heard of Gazzo lecturing live compared to others? Bottom line is, some people are just more experienced at teaching then others. Yeah some people stutter in lectures it happens, don't be so damn critical of the performance. Dangit I already stated twice that I...

The question is irrelevant because everyone is different. Just because magician A performs better in front of a virtual audience doesn't mean magician B or C will do the same. My point is don't be so critical on your fellow brethren, who are taking their time out of their schedule to hopefully...

Try performing something in front of people that requires you to interact with an audience heavily, then drop into a lecture hall where it is full magicians that remain quiet and barely clap for you. It doesn't matter if you have performed something a million times, when you loose a certain...
