Donald, I'm not saying it can't be done but you sure as heck better go get a degree from a college and use magic as a side job for extra spending cash. There are times when the money will be good and then there are times when the money and gigs aren't going to be there. I know a few magicians...

You can also find PDF versions of the entire set for sale. I happened to get lucky and get it for $4.99. Some magic stores sell it for $30 I believe. Most people prefer the hard copy books though. PDF version just makes it easier to upload to your Kindle or Droid or iPad.

Luis, I'm pumped for ya bro. If you start making some serious connections here you could be making some nice money outside the establishment let alone honing your skills ever more. Good luck and please keep us informed. Rick

Corporate Close up Volumes 1 and 2 are highly recommended too. I found a lot of info in them as well as the Jail house set and David Stone set. David Stone's book is awesome as well.

When I was talking about card magic, I meant, I wouldn't want to do this effect and then try to go into card magic after wards if some type of residue is on your fingers. Would like to see reviews on this after it has been out for awhile.

I normally tell them I do a lot of studying out of books and that they should go to the their local library to check out some magic books. This will lead them down the correct path but it will take some definite motivation on their part to actually follow through.

Zach, Although I don't have the same sense of humor as you, I did find the quality of the footage, lighting, and editing to be very professional. Great job. You are not going to make everyone happy here, nor anywhere else in the world. Do what makes you happy and motivates you to be creative...

Ha Ha...yeah. The junk called smoke in a tube I believe that you could buy for a few bucks. It would get all stringy and sticky.

I just hope for heaven's sake it isn't the smoke cream from the tubes that when you rub on your fingers fast enough it creates the smoke. That stuff always was messy and then you couldn't handle cards right after. Agree with Prae, in that it doesn't really show super human strength at all...

This book is a MUST for any serious magician ready to dive deeper into why and how effects play out and how to make them hit even harder. I'm halfway through the book right now. Outstanding!!!

That's pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing the story. It is amazing how everyone seems to know each other within the magic community via lectures, conventions, hanging out at shops and such. Did he perform anything for you or did you just hang out and chat? You buy anything cool from the shop...

As far as I know gaffs will still be made on normal bikes but was told you will have to get them in huge quantities through Murphy's. Double backers, facers, blanks should be available but not sure of the very detailed gaffs like the gaff deck from E and such. Talked to Josh Jay and he has...

I wasn't worried about my sleights...it was my gimmicked effects where a door holding something swings to the back, or my mismade bill routine with the extra flap dollar in the back, etc. Oh well. Live and learn. I just hope that other people can learn from this experience. It just goes...

Wow...glad I am not the only one this has happened to. The show was geared towards the kids mainly but the adults all of the sudden thought, "Hey...this guy is pretty good and the real deal...we want to come see too." Luis, great advice. I should have just told the client that I needed all...

Hey guys, just returned from doing a 45 minute family / kids show, outdoors in the heat for an audience of 50 people. Kids ranged from age 4 to highs chool and there were about 15 adults as well. The show went awesome but I had one major gripe and maybe some of you have had this happen. I am...

There are silver brief cases at Home Depot and Lowes. Look in the tool box section. They are 25 bucks and you could probably put 100 decks in it. I've seen Josh Jay use one, I use one, I believe, many guys use them.

I would be a big fan of a dark blue deck. I couldn't stand the "puke" green color even though they handled extremely well. I even took my deck to 2 different IBM meetings and nobody liked them. Even some of the younger guys in their 20's disliked them. Oh well. Everyone has their own taste...

It looked amazing but I completely agree with Prae on it. A little less shaky moving might make it look more magical. Definitely don't hold back. Throw that sucker into your arsenal for laymen as well and see what type of reactions you start getting. That is the only way to make...

Guys...please remember, no advertising of sales unless you put it in your signature. Thanks and have fun.

I don't think anyone is being mean...it is just the fact that everyone already hangs out at the Exo Magic Tiny Chat room. http://www.exomagic.com/tinychat/ Here is the link. Some days there are only 2 guys and other evenings you'll see about 15 of us in there. Password: daivernon
