    New "Mandolin" deck for magicians and gaffs.

    I noticed the differences quickly and prefer the 808's. The standard gaffs (blanks, doubles...etc) don't alter the back design, which is what the issue was all about, so they will continue to produce standard gaffs for magic dealers to sell. I don't use enough gaffs to worry about needing to...

    Chad Nelson's Classic / Riffle Pass

    It looked okay. My qualm would be with the way he riffles the first and second (legit) times look completely different than when he does the move. It's slow riffle, slow riffle, quick change of cards with no riffling... The pass itself was done well, way over my skill level, but the motions...

    Restraunt work

    Congratz on the job, use it well. As said above, new routines will be refined quickly and old ones will get the polishing you didn't know they needed. Many restaurant performers say to have 2 routines planned out for any given night. It also helps to have a 'bonus' or encore effect handy for the...

    FLIPPED Series

    I have to agree, the first two were over complicated in handling. In part by the mess of movement and length of time in between 'selection' and it being reversed. If there weren't 100 different variations out already I'd say it might be worth looking at, but with 100 variations (many more direct...

    May 2010 Issue of Magic Magazine

    Well now that I know it can be done pretty convincingly I might have to practice it. All of the tricks were pretty sweet, I plan on using Tracking Number, Erasable Marker, and Gummy. I also agree the Nathan Burton interview was great, I hope I can make it to Vegas (or Atlantic City) to see...

    Need help building a great ACR routine

    I'm currently re-working mine to use Pop (Calen Morelli's Steal). I almost have it set-up where there are no dl's. :)

    Two Cards?

    In Pete McCabe's Scripting magic there is a double signed card to pocket routine...I don't remember the routine (the script was his presentation of another effect).

    Books or DVD's?

    The reason for this is that it is easier to make and reproduce a DVD over a book. Printing books is a big task that takes a lot longer than DVDs. Dvd's are easier to learn certain techniques and moves because of the ability to follow along with someone who has already (hopefully) mastered...

    Contest - S&M v4 Prize

    I am currently saving decks of cards for next winter, they're great for starting fires, and would love to have a set of V4's to add to my collection of to-be-burned decks. I will more than likely post a video of me using the sealed deck as a fire-starter on youtube or vimeo. By the winter many...

    Filler Tricks

    You were looking for the word altered magically. I agree with every effect needing to be strong. If you take enough time in between effects to let the mood settle, no need to go directly into the next effect, through conversation. Even in the middle of an effect you can take a moment and...

    How Do You Construct Your Set?

    I don't have a set show yet, but I do have a few smaller sets of different tricks. I like to draw from one into another, making it both seamless without feeling forced. One routine I've been doing recently goes something like this : Ask for a ring and do Garrett Thomas' Ring Thing, quick and...

    About to start Bar Magic... advice?

    That made me laugh. You can always do card to ceiling for the manager so they can see the impact...or just do it without asking. You can always apologize if the manager doesn't want them there...I mean it's not rocket science to remove the cards (or maybe it is...could I really be that...

    The Heckler by Josh Jay

    Hahaha, that was great. Tony Miller plays a great heckler, of course he's like that all the time anyway. Excellent short film, I can see why it won-it was done really well and has a great ending.

    Steal by Calen Morelli

    I've got this on the way to me, glad to see another positive review. I can't wait to get this and start practicing. Great review, if I hadn't already ordered one this would have persuaded me to get this.

    Original Ideas

    Definitely in the works, PopCorn continues to evolve. What started out as a few productions, transformations, and vanishes has grown into something wonderful.

    Who inspired you?

    I'm going to say a few tricks from my dad inspired me to start learning, Copperfield/Angel/Blaine inspired me from TV, and more recently there are a lot of guys who inspire me for different reasons. The most eye-opening, inspirational tool I've ever had though was watching a Horrid...

    Original Ideas

    I don't know what is the 'most' creative or original, but I'll post something I came up with today on the way to work. Basically a card is selected (signed if you prefer) and then the deck is handed out for shuffling. An empty Altoids Smalls tin is shown empty and then closed, rubbed on the...

    A Few of My Creations

    It's like I said in my original, I am honest (some people don't think that's a good thing anymore) and I wasn't bashing the tricks at all. I still think I prefer the look of Greed, but I can see people who don't like Greed wanting something that looks more like Let's Face It. To be fair, the...
