    Hypnosis

    Ok, how are you "getting into" Hypnotism? Are you just curious or have you been watching all the YouTube garbage that will get you into trouble? If you really want to learn Hypnotism and not just stage work GO TO SCHOOL. . . get board certified so you can have a legit claim to the title...

    Pretentious

    Get used to it William, the older you get the more you will hear such things simply because of how you explain things. I've endured such an image for years and it doesn't matter how many times you apologize to the group, there's always one that slips through and believes their pov is god's...

    Confidence

    On one level there is a truth that the more you do something the more confident you will become in your skills and abilities. In this case however, I think it would be a kind service to her that you nudge her into some confidence building workshops -- image building and those seminars that help...

    Just in Time for Halloween

    I could have swore I included them in that book. If not you will find them in several Richard Webster books, the TC Tahoe book mentioned previously, my own Easy Reading (available through Lybrary.com) and a number of others that have nothing to do with Magic but rather New Age thinking --...

    There Isn't THE BEST....

    I was a bit rushed for time when I saw this yesterday but would like to further some of Cameron's thoughts. . . There was a time, not so long ago, that magicians could actually comparison shop; If I wanted to invest in a big illusion I could could look around and find the "best" when it came to...

    There Isn't THE BEST....

    Thank You! While I'm doubtful those that need to read this every will (or will embrace said wisdom) I give you high marks for making the statement. The Gods know I've tried to make such points over the years.

    Just in Time for Halloween

    The more you work with it the easier it gets but I've done Numerology for close to 30 years and still have to use a copy of that chart in order to get things straight (the curse of a failing memory and being dyslexic) But the majority of folks I know learn it with little problem. I believe...

    Any magicians in LA?

    Let's see here. . . we're talking about a massive city complete with the Magic Castle, Disney, Knott's Berry Farm and a plethora of other amazing things all of which involve magic and magicians. What you need to know is if you are taking port in the Port of Los Angeles or one of the other major...

    URGENT - Working for a Magic Coffee Company

    More like the old Pea & Shell game. I know of a few ways you could get away with it if you're using stock paper/foam cups and one of those "Pod" type dispensers. . . even a method for you to end with 3 cups full of hot coffee if so desired (I did a similar act for Bacardi Rum long ago using...

    Just in Time for Halloween

    I could swear I posted this earlier today but. . . Earlier this year I published two resource books MENTALISM: Introduction & Resource List and Learning to Cold Read Though about a month late in getting them out, here's two more of the same, this time dealing with the Dark Side. . ...

    Any Volunteers?

    There are tons of FREE web site building programs out there, I used one of the Yahoo systems for my non-show-biz site. I can't recall the name of it, but there's one company that's just recently started with some national ads, that have excellent flash sites. You need to double check on the...

    Manipulation fans?

    Nothing specific in that most will be written in Chinese or Japanese and too, much of the Asian magic culture is kept close to the vest and not openly shared with outsiders -- much of the time, staying exclusive to one family group. You may try tapping Mark or Greg Wilson on the shoulder...

    Where can I learn stage illusions?

    The "Age Issue" has always ticked off those under 21 and in some instances those of us cursed to look 16 well into our early 30s (I didn't have peach fuzz until my late 20s). But, there are certain bits in magic that have ALWAYS been looked upon as "too dangerous" in the hands of the young for...

    Michael Jackson pumped to put illusion in show

    If you do a search of National Inquirer front covers you'll find Franz Harrary levitating Michael in a living room. Franz has had a very long term relationship with the Jackson family, creating things for Janet (every wonder why the Multiple Cutting cabinet is called a "Janet Box"?) Michael...

    Manipulation fans?

    You're gonna need to look at some older texts and at that, you probably need to look mainly at Asian magic though there may be some stuff out of France/New Orleans. Get familiar with the "flip" control method and experiment with hold-outs as well as toppits and pulls (think about Cigarette...

    The 1914

    Why do I get the impression of self-promotion here?

    How laymen think or something along those lines.

    It was just in how you say that you questioned them that got me confused, goading them into thinking harder about something. But you need to understand, you might know the basics behind an effect and not catch it when a performer KNOWS the ins & outs of that piece. Some years ago Penn & Teller...
