The Tarbell Course is still outstanding but with the digital age...you can get anything so cheaply. Think about it...you can download the entire Tarbell Course for $4.00 and load it into an Amazon Kindle and have enough magic reading for a lifetime. Yesterday I was at a magic auction and a...

I will second Mark Wilson's Complete Course, Josh Jay's Complete Course, Royal Road, or Tarbell which now is on ebay as an entire PDF - all 8 volumes for $4.00

If your question is, "Can I use these cool custom decks to just play poker and card games?" The answer is Yes. They are standard decks of cards with just different finishes and backs and ink colors. Magicians like different card stock, finishes, color schemes, designs, etc. based on their...

Most of the time for a good CCD with subtle convincers there are cards that have to be palmed off, left back in the card box (Troy Hoosier) does this, or added on just prior to the effect. I agree that I love the slip force as well and I have never been caught by a layman with it but most of...

My schedule is completely different since I have a career, wife and kids, etc. I can only practice at night after 10 pm when everyone has gone to bed or on the weekends. This is when I read, break down videos, spend time on forums or just sit and handle the cards. Lessons from a fellow...

Living, I am not trying to pick you apart but just analyzing it as a fellow magician. The red forced card looked very much slipped off the top with a slip force but was done way too quickly which looked suspicious as others have mentioned. There needs to be other subtle hints that there...

I'm not sure where it is in the threads but I remember someone posting a great deal of information on this topic about the "ins and outs of purchasing new effects". Guidelines, questions to ask oneself, etc. It is weird for me. If I see two or three things out and know that I will put time...

I'll be honest and say that it was o.k. at best as far as the video editing / effects but it is evident that you have practiced and have some technique. Thanks for posting. Some of the cuts / flourishes looked repeated and it was weird to see you in a bath robe, sitting on the floor, etc. but...

Thank you Eric for being honest. I'm glad that you didn't just say, "Yes...everything is attainable...pick this up as soon as you can." I think I better get some basics down for my coin work first but maybe in the future will look at this set. I have zero skills right now with coins except a...

Eric, can someone with basically no coin experience pick this set up and be able to work with the material if giving it enough practice or is it a bit much for beginning coin work? I have a ton of experience with cards, rubber bands, magic props but none with coins so I was wondering how...

As far as opinions on magic collecting, I guess my thing is I don't see how it is that exciting to collect decks of cards and then they just sit and the only to get them out every now and then for a few people to see. Most of the general public could care less about a 1st edition pack of black...

The teaser was horrible but if the DVD is as good as his book I will definitely be purchasing it.

Enjoyed watching these. Great reactions. Slow the magic down just a tad other than that super reactions.

You guys are outstanding...thanks...you guys found both versions I wanted. I had know clue what they were called but wanted to start incorporated one of them into my routine.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I honestly don't know. What is the name of the card effect where you draw a stick guy on a card and he jumps down and ends up finding a spectator's card. I think someone posted a media video of this months ago. I have also seen a version where it...

What about Oz Pearlman's Clutch? It gets me outstanding reactions.

Thanks Chop, that just goes to show I haven't watched wrestling in years since the days of Junk Yard Dog, Hill Billy Jim, Jimmy Super Fly, and the one and only Hulk Hogan....ha ha. I'm showing my age.

It would be hilarious for the WWE to put out a wrestler who is a magician and uses magic to beat his opponents....ha ha. I'm just kidding but it is a funny visual. He could come out in a top hat and have a pet bunny that attacks as his side kick. On a more serious note I think Angel and...

It would be hard to just recommend stuff for you when nobody knows your skill level or what effects you all ready have under your belt. A little more information may be a little more helpful.
