Oliver. . . I and I know of several others who've played with the Alice in Wonderland theme. Needless to say, you're talking about something that's big budget and big stage to do right. If however, you are able to do such a project via a Drama Class/Club at school and rely upon their resources...

There are a couple of magic forums that I wish had like buttons, for this very reason -- kudos to Mr. Butterfield. Not to make excuses for lethargy, but now days I'm lucky to even think of the right terms let alone spelling. . . you might not believe it, but sometimes I have to use WORD to...

I see a lot of people listing things on Facebook's various magic pages. TalkMagic in the UK has an area for listing items and then there is Craigs-List and MagicAuction.com I've even got about 6 or 8 DVDs I've started pitching on Facebook this week.

And there's your second big mistake. . . . . . the first was committing to a show a week away that you're not prepared for. Ok. . . I'll not rip you apart as I was going to but I will point out some important Do's & Don'ts when it comes to what you've outlined; DRESS CODE is NOT a good...

I think we should chat but not on the board. I do like this theme, it could be very commercial.

When it comes to "Theme Acts" the Classic Comedy Acts have to be; The Great Tomsoni & Co. Kevin James & The Adams Family Carl Balentine Liz & Tommy Tucker (the funniest Code Act on the planet) When it comes to Contemporary Artists; Kevin James still gets ranking Gamarjobat These Guys...

If it's still available, Mark Wilson had an awesome girl through mirror piece listed at MagicAuction a while back, that could maybe lead you down another side of that tale (of course, there are other "walking through mirror" type bits as well). Depending on how big you may wish to go, there...

Let me help you solve this mystery in an easy manner. . . if you've studied magic for less than 5 years, chances are quite strong that you've NOT come up with something "new". I know that sounds crass and negative but I can assure you that most of us have tile cabinets overflowing with...

Ok. . . I'm assuming this is a stage type act scenario and for that reason you will want some sense of variety, not just a load of card tricks. . . however, if you want to be known for your card work, I'd strongly encourage you to learn and close with Sam the Bellhop simply because it's much...

It is again, a born-again-skeptic's perspective however. I've been involved with magic since 1964 and have NEVER found a single instance in which a student's perspective towards the miraculous and the possibility of true magick, wasn't afoot; we are trained from day one to disbelieve in all...

Hispanic performers, especially some of those that came to the States during the 80s and early 90's were all classically trained in this dance style and at least one I know of was a genuine Bull Fighter. I bring this up because of how it teaches them to express "command" and "confidence" during...

Wyatt. . . I actually had to do a search to find it yesterday, it was as if it had gotten buried somehow. . . . then again, I know there's a conspiracy out there to make me go mad even faster than I'm already slipping towards. . .:rolleyes:

If this thread is still available for all to see (I couldn't find it, it's so buried) Here's something I thought the OP and others might benefit from. It comes from a UK Forum I frequent. Free 2 Person Code System by phillipnorthfield » Thu Oct 18, 2012 6:45 pm For anyone interested...

That's my job these days. . . I teach what I can, help as I can and hopefully leave this craft a bit better than how I found it 5 decades ago.

Hi Andrew and welcome to the board. . . To be honest with you, it will be far easier for you to go to the groups. I know it's a pain but that's how life is at times. Nonetheless, you could go to the IBM web site and do a search for rings in your area (just shoot them an eMail if you can't...

It makes a lot of sense, actually. Instant Stooging is a form of exposure in my book. Using codes on the other hand, is a part of a partnership; your partner isn't going to expose the secret behind what you do because it's a matter of personal interest; this cannot be said about instant stooge...

We've all pondered the idea of being a real wizard or super-hero or both, even as adults; it's natural to do so. What confounds the modern-day magician though is the fact that we were forced, originally under threat of religious persecution, to reveal to the world that what we did was all...

That's quite cute

Look on page 265 "All in Order" . . . with very simple changes to the list you can still use the concept and learn it in under an hour. Page 261-262 show a visual cue system such as I was talking about with the ashtray; pages 252-257 cover a very neat method for using flashing lights to cue your...

Cedric, I have close to 100 books on the Tarot on my bookshelf so I really can't give you specifics off the top of my head. I do believe however the book 78 Degrees of Wisdom by Rachell Pollock covers some of this but the other source is a bit more obscure "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" by...
