    stabbed in the back

    its a modified Diving Board Double i think. as for the effect, it was in his book along with some real gems and while its not exactly revolutionary it is a nice little quick trick and if you get creative you can make it so much more. It teaches a basic tool to make something great

    New magic from your favorite magician

    Farquhar's routine is a million times better. Its more elegant, beautiful and fits the music so much better. Steven's routine is pretentious and his manipulation isn't even that great. Steven's routine is n't that original and has a terrible ending that makes no sense. Farquhar FTW...

    What is the name and inventor of this effect?

    i would tend to agree with praetoritevong, i think it definitely goes back further, i seem to remember reading somewhere about old seance's, carnivals and freakshows using similar "head loss" illusions but i cant for the life of me remember which book it is. Definitely PM Brad, that guy is a...

    Saturday Night Contest - Chris Kenner's Recipe for Magic

    couple things, in these its usually 1 entry, although he didn't specify, maybe John or JB will clear that up, also he said it was supposed to be created and filmed within the 24 hour period, your two vid's are old ones. Just saying.. kinda defeats the purpose of the contest

    Don't be the "Magic Man"...

    i think what it comes down to is success in networking. I perform a lot at the college i go to and im not always doing it to network. As a result many people only know me as "magic man", "card guy" or "holy **** what was that". That doesn't really bother me, i perform enough that i dont...

    Cool card change in a movie...

    Wrong the card actually didn't change at all, a very powerful "PUSHER" simply convinced your mind that you were seeing the card change, in reality nothing happened. pshh.. CGI thats just stupid, you really need to pay closer attention
