Over achievers. =P

Are you kidding? Bronze, gears, and leather are like the three major qualifications for steam punk's visual appeal! This deck accomplishes the look and feel of that genre quite well.

I appreciate your hustle.

Again, there is a WIRE section for all posts dealing with advertising your effects that you produce for the WIRE.

However since magic is a performance art, shouldn't we all be doing our best to perfect it (magic) as much as possible regardless of whether we're performing casually or professionally?

You could also try Mismaid flag, Floating Rose, Topys Turvy bottles, Multiplying Bottles, Mongolian Pop Knot or similar rope routine, and maybe delights, Six Bill repeat, multiplying spots? That's a rough age group, Try to stay visual and keep the energy comical and light and you should be okay.

Truer words have never been spoken. It's so very easy to get caught up in the moment and tell someone that you don't like X thing. You may even be able to quickly rattle off what it is about X thing that you don't like, but that is just criticism. It's not constructive, and it's not really...

Congratz to the winners! Were any of them active forum people? Or are they just random customers who scored lucky?

Last night I was on stage at the beautiful adult club Diamond Cabaret in Denver, Colorado helping bring in the new year with my fellow cast members of the FreakShow Deluxe. The evening was absolutely magical! The energy was great, the establishment loved us, the audience loved us, and there...

Great review Rick! I was waiting to see your thoughts on this product.

Bumped for realevance

Happy new year to all, and good luck!

Not to be an ass but there's a WIRE section on the forum for posts like this. Congratz on your success.

My goals for the new year are: 1) Produce a new Wire product for each quarter in the new year. 2) Book 1 TV appearance minimal. 3) Book 1 out of the country performance. 4) Learn card manipulation, and put together a stage routine.

Personally I think you would absolutely LOVE a Triumph effect, and there are several on the market to choose from. Bannon's "Play It Strait" is one of my personal favorites, my opener to my close up routine, and packs a fairly good punch. As for mentalism, I wouldn't go too much into that...

But even so Redi, at what point do we cross the line and cease being a show on magic and become a show with special effects? Is there such a thing as too much theater?

I agree Randy. Fitzkee wrote this book in the 1940's. 1944 to be exact. To put things in proper perspective Germany was at war with Europe, the US hadn't entered the war effort as of yet, and the entertainment scene was totally different from what we know today. When he cites actors who have...

I will say this about Fitzkee's work. It's been regarded as a foundation work when it comes to magical theory by many a great and important magician. I'm not discounting the knowledge he has to impart. I've thumbed through the book a few times since Rick's post reminded me that I haven't read...

I got his Trilogy for Christmas, and currently have showmanship cued for reading over the next week or two. I will say this though, from what I've read here, and in his introduction, I hope the entire book isn't going to look down it's nose at me. He really seems like an elitist. And yet I...
