    Impressing Girls (I need help!)

    Contrary to popular belief Magic IS NOT the best lure when it comes to finding a mate or impressing someone. Especially if you are limited to Card Tricks! Sure, pull an Antonio Banderas and produce a flower or make her finger ring float, etc. but don't try to impress them with tricks; it gets...

    Platform, Parlour, Stage

    This is a bit more complicated to clarify. Where R1 is correct he's likewise not in that many small stage/parlor workers can still carry their act in their pockets or at most, a briefcase (ask Paul Daniel, a full 2 hour show in a single briefcase on the Vegas strip and he killed!) Parlor Magic...

    An Apology of Sorts. . . I half expected to walk into an inferno this morning because of comments made yesterday about the UK Magic Form Culture and how "bigoted" it would be interpreted as being. As I stated in that post, I know that what I've encountered on the negative end of things comes...

    Mentalism & stuff...

    I know what you're saying goatears, but after a decade + dealing with UK forms I've come to the conclusion that a good majority of Brit Magicians think their stuff don't stink and likewise believe that their plagiarized materials are superior to what the original sources have produced. Granted...

    Mentalism & stuff...

    Is this an attempt to goat me? First of all, I don't consider myself an "elitist" on any level, just someone that is passionate about the path I'm involved with and as such, something I want to see people do justice to vs. falling back on their magician's thinking and habits as well as the...

    What the trick called?

    i love magic that is just going up and doing something without asking them if they want to see something I take it that you love being punched in the face then? The "attack" form of Magical "Performance" has no sense of class let alone anything that resembled RESPECT. . . whatever happened to...

    If the oil technique works for you a bit of VO5 Hair Styling Oil might give you a heavier amount easier, even if you only place it in a set part of your hair such as the temple area or behind the ear, so all you need to do is run your hand through when you need to dob

    Nothing wrong with DVDs unless you really want to learn magic and have tangible resources that won't go out of date and not be usable when Microsoft makes their next OS upgrade . . . I've got over $500.00 worth of material I can't access because of Windows 7 (I'd kill to get back on XP, the last...

    Augmented Reality Magic

    BUT and I'm asking this in all seriousness, is the definition of "Magic" as you envision it, what you're looking for OR, are you willing to include contrast by showing the original side of said coin -- the esoteric side? I believe any treatise on Magic and more so when you are looking at the...
