Most working magicians are not going to use this effect. It is not made for the guy who is working four trade shows, six private parties, has two walk around gigs at restaurants and does corporate mixers. It is made for the under 25 "street magician." I know there are others. I honestly do...

Okay here is why I do not buy into giving them only a couple of things wrong. Lets go back to Johnny Youtube who lifted the Daryl ACR. Like before he post his video and ask what is wrong. Of the twenty-two items in the effects twenty were bad. My way, "Okay you did 1-20 wrong. You nailed the...

I posted this earlier but it fits with this thread as well... "DON'T GIVE IT AWAY."?By SARGENT, THE MERRY WIZARD. Mahatma May 1898 (yes 1898) "Omne ignotum pro magnifico" I notice with regret a tendency among magicians of a certain class, to select some trick of minor importance...

The more I think about it the more I remember that pretty much all of the best old school guys were hard on everyone and would just bust you until you got it right. You have to think if it is really bad to do that then why did so many magicians come out of that some of the biggest names of the...

But he has slammed people who are names in the magic world as well. Sure the Professor would do it and so would Charlie Miller and a few other of the old guard.

So lets say they use someone's ACR lets say Daryl's. Now they have a solid effects and good patter, but... They telegraph the moves from three blocks away and flashes more than a drunk girl on Bourbon Street and the fumble most of the moves and their pacing it like molasses on a cold day. In the...

How are you presenting the effect? You might be doing something called attention to the deck.

Here in the US we have to go to the city and get a permit in towns where it is legal. I'm sure a quick search of your town's website or a call to the counsel will give you the answer

If you you look you will see that he does point out good things in magic as well. http://weeklymagicfailure.blogspot.com/2011/04/bizzaro-optical-illusionist.html http://weeklymagicfailure.blogspot.com/2011/04/ponta-smith.html http://weeklymagicfailure.blogspot.com/2011/04/doc-eason.html...

Not all of us. Some of us have self respect and set our own goals for our success levels. My first goal was to entertain people. Then it was making a living doing magic. Now my goal is to expand my book collection to pass on one day. It's never been my goal to make millions. To have to change...

Really all beginner's Even the ones who do not use youtube? As has been said before I collect old books and magazines and I do read them. Here is something from Mahatma May 1898, yes really 1898... "DON'T GIVE IT AWAY."?By SARGENT, THE MERRY WIZARD. "Omne ignotum pro magnifico" I...

I do not use all cards. In the Adam Wilber Q and A on youtube says do not use all cards. I use coins, sponge, rubber bands, silks ect ect.

It is. Just because it has been exposed in other places doesn't mean we can talk about it no more than can we explain how a DL works or how to do something from book from the 1800's. We can't talk methods on the forums.

Even if it has been exposed else were does not mean we should openly talk about it here in an open public forum, where it is also against the rules to talk methods. Having said that if you look at what is given for Tally Ho and Bikes you will see how it is laid out. Using that knowledge, you...

I was going to send you a PM on how I would do it, but you can;t get Private messages. It looks like you could adapt the blood system to those.

The reason I do not like them is they make people think that magicians are all like that because that is what they see on TV. People think it is all actors and cameras , and with those two they are not far off. I can honestly say I have never been ask to do a criss or dynao effect. Then again...
