To the "everyone gets a ribbon" generation it is.

Some of us here have been doing this longer than many of the users here have been alive. 90% of the time we can nail down that happened by reading what went down. Many newer and/or younger performers tent to do play by play when they are doing effects. Many younger magicians haven't really taken...

Honestly, most everything I do is from before the 1950's or they are my own creations. I try really really hard to stay away from new effects, but I am a sucker for a good packet trick. This cuts down on someone doing the Greg Solomon types out there. (if you do not know who he is look him up on...

I follow the code of ethics that I signed up for when I joined the IBM and SAM. Think that there is no harm in exposing magic on youtube? There is someone on this forum who can tell you the price you can pay for that. From the IBM... Article II MISSION AND OBJECTIVES Sec. 1.The mission of the...

it has been off line since 2011. You can buy them still as ebooks for about $4 each on Lyrbrary. Also Lybrary has most of the Learned Pig Project saved and you can get most of the old archives.

Why youtube isn't a library. I have never gone to a library only to find some books about the Cincinnati Reds blank because some arbitrary bot came in claiming copyright on everything with the words Reds and Cincinnati. even if the book had the rights to write about the team. The library does...

Max Maven said when asked what happens if he misses. He said "It's my job not to miss."

If you are talking about Conjuring Arts then it was last summer

Also depending on where you live your local SAM or IBM group might have a lending library as well

When I'm working everything is in a pocket. Back ups and one off for VIPs, head tables and repeat guest are in my case behind the bar. Everything is insta reset. Everything is in a pocket and returns to the same pocket. My jacket, jacket sleeves, and vest all have extra pockets added to them...

Here is the reply I have given to Brian one different forums and blogs about why calling youtube a library is wrong... Why youtube isn't a library or what ever is better than a library is the fact i have never gone to a library only to find some books about the Cincinnati Reds blank because...

There are books on how to write scripts there are books on showmanship. You could also do what I did and take some classes and join the community theater group to learn from others on top of the books you pick up. Most of the time the classes are free and the books can be found at the library.

It is pretty basic magic 101 there but it is kinda of a no no fishing for methods on the forums. If you want to know how to is done you should buy it or learns the fundamentals.

The Dan Harlan download I linked talked about how to make your sets. You need to make a list of everything you know and everything you are learning. That is the first step.

Never have I though that someone under 18 in slacks was playing an adult. What I have used for about 20 years is three sets of three or four effects that flow well into each other. Meaning a good opener a nice filler and a powerful closer. With three sets of three different effect you are far...

Just wanted to quote that...:D Since you named three stage acts who one wears a suit one in tails two who started off in suits but all four are vega stage acts not strollers at the local eatery.

That was last season. Thought maybe "A Pimp Named Slickback," Like A Tribe Called Quest; you say the whole thing: "A Pimp Named Slickback" will do an ACR

Theme events are different. I have done those as well. I dressed as a wizard for a radio station called The Wizard. I have the robe built with the pockets. That is different than dressing down or dressing odd trying to stand out while trying to get into a restaurant unless you are going to a...

That really depends on the type of gigs you want to get. I know the clients I have and the clients I go after could never hire a magician in a costume. I get gigs because I look like a professional not because i'm wearing a Hawaiian ****. The places i'm in will not even let you in the door with...

Might want to look up Dalton Wayne. He has an impromptu regeneration type effect out there already on the wire.
