    How do you Present 'Magic'?

    Sinful07 – that was painful to read, honestly. I love how people talk about bombing so casually now...like, yeah, I flashed and they boo’d me...awesome, and the population of those wanting to see a trick diminishes that much more. Don’t worry – I recovered by doing what I said – finding their...

    Tom Isaacson on Ellen!

    haha, thanks for posting...although, I am not sure Tom will be happy with his "little" dance move on his way up being caught...awkward! I don't think being nervous matter...I mean, dude...you were on Ellen....even Oprah is impressed. However, there was a lot of fumbling and organizing -...

    New to Magic

    Keith, The fact you took the time to ask, shows much about you already - you will be very good. Some say there is no "wrong" path, but the wrong path is trying to learn so much that you don't take time to do what you know well...but we all have been guilty of it. The best you can do for...

    David Blaine - Page Six Article + JB's Response

    haah - okay RS - if you say so - it is hard to argue a fan that heckles his hero...as it puts you in an untouchable spot...but seriously, your facts are wrong. - Houdini saw bad press, he appeared in two full-length films that were flops. Houdini blamed everybody but himself for his...

    David Blaine - Page Six Article + JB's Response

    RS - although well written - I think you overlook and over simplify what the real feelings on Blaine are. First, I am not a "Blaine" fan - he did re-introduce me to magic with his first special, but I never wanted to be like him - actually...I hated on him for years...until Angel showed...

    David Blaine - Page Six Article + JB's Response

    Brad Christian - I think he is mistaking Blaine for his instructional videos and magic ability - there is a joke. Honestly, that special was the best I have seen in a long time - great magic and lots of variety - I mean the guy took a punch from Kimbo Slice, catches a bullet...and hangs...

    Alternate This Card/That Card Cards

    I got an idea...instead of writing WTF on the last card...write...I BET YOU SAW THIS ON YOUTUBE! I have been asked if I have seen "this" effect more than the 21 card trick. Write on it - I only do effects that are popularized by mass media...what am I thinking - it wouldn't fit...and it...

    Sinful07 - I am not saying we need to be more strict, just more careful with what we are sharing with who - this is a community and we are here to help, but I could see a magic trick from a pro...come here as a lay person...sign up and you guys would answer EXACTLY how anything is done - NO...

    Internet TV for Magicians -- "Time to be awesome"

    Frostbullet - don't get me wrong, I was not angry or upset and this is the place to come for help. I would take the advice that said, put it off for awhile until you master some sleight of hand...once you do, they will be of more use to you. I would compare it to using weapons in karate -...

    Gaff Decks

    Sinful07 - as of lately, I think this forum has become VERY loose on what is considered exposure and what is not. I have recently seen DL talked about like it was common knowledge - a step by step direction on Elmsley counts and variations - and many other examples during discussion...

    Wow - this frostbullet comes into the forum - and we expose every gimmick known to man to him. Not to side track this - but I remember going into the magic shop and not having ANYONE share with me. I needed to EARN the knowledge by showing dedication to learning. Now you can come onto the...

    Jbear, People have different experience and are at different points in their ability, performance and technical - so you are getting a wide range of opinions and ideas. Nevertheless, I can only speak from my decade of performance experience - there are many misconceptions on both sides of...
