The Bra Trick and Short Surprise type gags where done with tongue in cheek and a "naughty" bit of silliness not as an expression of sexuality let alone what most of the world views as "perverted" sexual expression . . . there's a lot of big bad redneck types that are scared to death of having...

Start simple, buy a standard Vernet tip (one size fits all. . . usually) If you have exceptionally small, slender fingers & thumb you might need to inquire about a better fitting device. . . I think Vernet offers smaller and larger sizes now. If not, try a "Sixth Finger" gimmick. You can do...

At least he didn't do it with a Prince Albert piercing. . . (look it up but be prepared to whence). AGT doesn't "hate" magicians but rather, they hate the really bad hacks who tend to be the one's that show up most e.g. they are the one's they will "feature" and draw focus on. There was...

There's the truth behind it all!

Actually, there is another reason why the Search function isn't used a lot (seemingly); many of them can't seem to understand the terms typed in for the search. I can't tell you how many forum search features don't recognize certain people's names let alone actual topics. I encounter this...

he is very informative and i like his advice and i am going to use it. I just wish he would be a little more considerate and respectful towards me. If he treated me more like a friend that would be nice. Because I am loving and caring person and would respond nice as well. Treat others how you...

The first reason people detest Criss. . . he's got an ego bigger than Texas and has pissed on nearly every major name that originally reached out to help him. He's a jerk! (and that's a kind way of stating it). Ignoring the stooges, camera effects, etc. those that are "in the know" have...

An inexperienced dreamer's pipe dream and everyone else's nightmare. Trevor, do yourself (and society) a HUGE favor. Step away from the camera, crack open a few books on ENTERTAINMENT and once you understand what that means, find ONE THING to work with and actually learn to do well; work with...

The big thing you need to consider when it comes to the Cafe is that it is a marketing dreadnought; the management team insures the advertisers and of course the VIP writers that there will be loads of noobs from whose pockets they can pilfer from. I know that's a crass way of putting things...

Recession and other such economic lingo has been the reasoning for a very long time and somehow we've all allowed it to become part of the norm, so the lower pay scale really is our fault more than it is the economy. We should certainly work with the global or national issues when it comes to...

im sorry im a mixed entertainer not just a magician, and I can do whatever I want its a free country. You should think twice before speaking =) I just came in to this thread out of curiosity when I found this line. . . a cocky, probably not even 25 year old (going on 14) that has NO genuine...

I'm seriously appalled at the rates most are satisfied with these days. When I was working clubs in the late 70s and early 80s I was pulling in an easy $50.00 an hour + tips. My typical 3 hour shift meant I left the club with between $300 and $500 bucks in most cases, there are always...

Yes, I have several such bits that I rotate and I do understand what you mean. At the same time I'm reminded of the Greg Arce observation in how "Magicians" will watch a mentalism show and try to figure out how to fit certain pieces into their own show while Mentalists aren't trying to figure...

Many considered that a rip-off from Roni's piece (which I do believe to be the one Derren Brown used) but magician's love to steal it would seem. . . how many versions of Smash & Stab are on the market right now and whose not paying royalties to the originators?

As I said earlier, you will want to go through Dan Baines @ Lebanon Circle. The effect is not mass produced, I think Roni is only releasing two dozen of them total. I think it runs somewhere in the $500.00 to $600.00 range but don't hold me to that, it could be a great deal more.

If you want Comedy as part of the bit look into GRAFFITI by Roni Shachney in the UK. You can probably inquire through Lebanon Circle in that Roni works closely with Dan Baines. The routine uses cans of Spray Paint and delivers a hilarious climax. If I were still doing stage shows I'd have...

I think you're referring to the act John Gaughan purchased some years ago, one of the few animated card acts NOT known to the general community and to my understanding, Johnny was the first to present it in over 40 years. He actually did a short run of shows after installing the thing (it takes...

Sure. . . that will go far. . . How long do you think anything negative about the Cafe will stand if it were posted? Firstly, they have a "scanning" type process that looks for certain words & phrases that will get flagged, same with ISP address and detecting any kind of Stealth program. Then...

I can assure you that it is probably a political something. . . the Cafe's Gestapo element (moderating team) seems to have carte blanche when it comes to censorship; what one moderator could care less about another will get in a snit over and so axe the topic completely. I know of several...

tomstian. . . yes it was my misinterpreting things. . . I was envisioning you doing the hit & run C*R*A*P so many younger people love to do because they think that's what Criss Angel and David Blaine do or they've seen video of such antics, forgetting that such work is typically staged for the...
