    Find a better way to get breaks an really work on it. Refine every movement you make (even the ones that aren't sleights) to achieve a smooth streamlined display of the cards. I suggest you really hunker down and go over everything you do and ask yourself "does this add to the effectiveness of...

    Saturday Night Contest - Resolutions for 2009

    Nothing that groundbreaking, but I'll share anyway. I've been performing for a while, but I always got the stomach flutters even after I had been doing it for a while. In early 2008, probably around March, I was performing for this group of people in *ahem* a hookah bar and it just went...

    There are some really good ones in the Art of Astonishment as well as The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings. Also try Dear Mr. Fantasy by John Bannon.

    Wonderful topic, and I couldn't agree with Steerpike more--what does comparing German rave music and and grunge rock have to do with magic? What does it achieve? I'll answer that. Nothing. If I might chime in on the style debate, I would say that there are two very good points that may be...
