Sounds great...I'll have to try the signature effect and see how it plays out for spectators.

It wasn't bad. I think you over killed the swirl effect though. Everything else seemed good. That is one major complaint or dislike I have of all of these new self made videos. Everyone finds that special "fun" effect and the beat it to death so that it is too much to even enjoy.

Combination of Paul Gertner meets Justin Miller. Wrap the Wow gimmick in a nice paper or plastic wrapper that says "High Tech Futuristic Film" or whatever floats your boat. Then use Justin Miller's "Smile" card effect. It is really cool to use the gimmick as futuristic film and have...

So it sounds like a congratulations is in order. Hope everything goes well for you.

Also...PM me as I have some other subtleties for the ending that are killer.

I think he has a few options now as to where he can sell and understands that it cannot be on here. That being said. Closed.

Wow...even the event planner was not watching the hired dancers? That is pretty disrespectful. The more I think about it I would have waited until the dancers were completely done. I would have been irate if I had been the girls and lost some of our crowd.

Ha Ha. I'm glad you guys got the picture / point.

Situations like this are difficult because as entertainers, if we see people bored out of their minds we know we possess the power to change the entire situation within minutes. In a situation like this I probably would have performed as well. If it was a party honoring someone or a birthday...

Danny, I don't know if I would call them "filler" tricks but I know what you mean. Sometimes we space out the "big boy" tricks that we know are going to knock their socks off and put some so so ones in between. I try to use effects that are very different from one another so that the...

I guess my interpretation of "underground" is someone who has yet to be discovered by the masses. Perhaps it is someone who has great talent and might be well known in small or private circles. Maybe it is someone who is seeking to take it to the next level, but does not have the necessary tool...

Awesome news Toby! Glad you shared it.

Guys...this is a great thread. Please do not let it head into a religious debate or it will have to close. I'm a christian as well, but other members on here may become offended and may have different views. I would love to hear more stories about magicians who have performed for special...

King...if you are going to put them on ebay feel free. If you are waiting on someone to reply to you and tell you what they are willing to pay...that will not happen as advertising is a not permitted here. As it has been said, the value is all dependent upon what someone is willing to pay...

Kostya's Warning is one of my favorite effects when I am out and people are drinking or having a good time and it is getting dark or I am in a dimly lit bar. The effect does get expensive if you use it way too much. I tend to use it at the end of the night as I have a crowd around me. I...

Our IBM ring is hosting Davin Ginn in October for this same workshop. I heard it is outstanding. Thanks for the review.

A couple of our IBM ring members were out to dinner one evening and we had a discussion about this very topic. That sometimes you will get called to do a child's "last" birthday party gig. Many of them said it was one of the most emotional things they've ever had to do. Many of them said they...

Guys...I don't mind the discussion and varying opinions, but lets tone it down or I'll have to close the thread. Debates are fine but no jabs back and forth at each other.

Guys...Do I have to tell you again. On 11/11/11 the planets are going to align, thus producing 11.11 jigawatts sending a bold of lightening down on Ellusionist, Penguin, Hanklee, MJM, and all other competitors. There will be an epic fall of all magic shops, including all brick and mortar shops...

Another avenue to take is once i have have shown magic in the classroom on Fridays...I have had students want to be the one to show the following week's effect. dThese are 4th graders, mind you, who go to the library...check out magic books and practice at home so they can be the one do show...
