My thoughts exactly, you really can read minds. Get out of mine! :P Plus I think more attention to the site will cause more spammers. However I have not seen many of those Ipod posts as of late and completely enjoy them not being here.

Hey Stage performers ever wanted to make yourself appear out of nowhere? Well now you can using the elmsley count. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Dq4pXcakY&feature XD

That is Doug Malloy's Lean and Andrew Mayne's Pocket Sawing in Half.

It isn't all that hard to make your own gimmick. Just requires something a lot of magicians now don't want to do. WORK

You know here are my thoughts about this whole hulabaloo. It is pretty much summed up in this video by egoraptor. Mr. Literal Y'll are taking words too literally.

Great post, and I just want to add, you should probably thank the spectator for pointing out your mistake. Cause really they just helped you.

Who the heck says paling around with a heckler is aggravating them? If they push I will push back but in a nice manor. IDK if you really perform or not but, I have found my own personal niche for dealing with people who like to heckle, that niche is to heckle back in a platonic way. This however...

David Stone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fSnTVJxgxI Great tips in this video.

Well Mr. high and mighty do what you like then, but it is never good to ignore a problem :) if you do they just fester and become worse. *Scratches at a clearly infected wound on his arm*

What are ya getting on about? Dealing with hecklers in a comedic and correct way can enhance your performance. Be humble? We are tricking the spectators? No no that is for the coyotes to do, I prefer entertaining my spectators and a good one liner or pun to combat a heckler like comment can be...

Why yes it is, for the Pace gimmick I believe it uses butane, the kikuchi uses possibly a liquid fuel such as lighter fluid. I'd go with the butane because it is easier to control and less of a hazard of lighting your entire hand on fire :).

Okay as good as the twilight lighter trick is, it isn't what is being used in this routine. Jim Pace sells this device, and I reccomend anything made by Pace. The gimmick is called the "Flicker" and can be found here.

Okay stop here to base an entire review on practicality "In Your Opinion" is not really helpful for others. Practicality is very ambiguous (In other words, opinions may very.) For all of you who are now bummed one person didn't like the product, it is incredibly to early to have a true full...

What Mat said, be the first man.

I wouldn't say patter with people in between big effects but take the time to socialize with your audience. Win them over then continue on to another big trick. To answer the second part of your post, the filler I do is the thumb thing where you take your thumb off and put it back on, an...

Okay I guess T11 is the same as ellusionist. Can't wait to go to the ellusionist convention staring Brad Christian as the guest of honor, I also heard Magicdude will be there and Mr. Castle as well. Can't wait to fork over money for a deck of cards that will clump like dry oats later on...

Nope never did think that, it is very very important that you the actor fully understand your character. Allow me to give a theatrical example: I am play Reb Tevya in Fiddler on the Roof. The character has to pull a cart from a side wing, unfortunately the actor gets it stuck against something...

I just realized, did ellusionist have a hand in putting together one of the most remarkable magic conventions? I think that is one reason why I like t11 :)

I agree and an attempt to help people who can't make the connection about this example and magic. A classical piece of music is like the stock instructions you get with a rising deck. Just as a musician is supposed to take their song and change and contort it into something that doesn't even...

Well report the damn thing then. If you feel this is a violation of the rules and regs of the forum report it so a moderator can close it if they see fit to close it. Personally I think this could be made into a great magic discussion, which kindled a little. But no one is stopping you from...
