I was engaged to a girl who hated the magic. I went to every show she sang at. I don't really care for opera, but I went to support her. I gave it up. When she left me, I was heart broken and even thought about suicide. But I had an old family friend ask me to do a trick for a friend of...

I do night clubs almost every night of the week so I might do 2 or 3 tricks per group. What I will perform is a short list, but the work very well. Stigmata Believe unBELIEVEable Icon Sympathy for the Devil My Favorite opener Sam the Bellhop Witness Card under glass Card trick for...

If your willing to drive a little ways, San Francisco and Sacramento both have an amazing shop in them. I'm just not sure how far your willing to travel.

I really am thankful for all the feedback I'm getting. I believe were all on the same page here. I have a feeling that my paper and my presentation will stir up some controversy in the class, but isn't that half the fun? Having good and health debates with everyone? My last paper about the...

Does him claiming to have psychic powers bother you? I'm not saying hes a fraud or has mystical powers, but does anyone who claims to posses "psychic" powers offend you at all is a little more detailed for what I need. Do you laugh when watching someone speak to the dead? Do you just think...

www.grandillusions.com The owner Steve is a really cool guy. If you e mail him the type of stuff your looking for, he will respond VERY quickly with some great info. My family and I have been going there since I was 3. www.emagicsupply.com has a few good tricks too. I'm also a fan of...

How do you all feel about people like Sylvia Brown and Uri Gellar? I'm writting a psychology paper on the subject. I'm curious if magicians feel the same way I do about them. I was shocked when a magician friend of mine truley believes in them and I'm just curious how you guys all view them...

Like you said, "and counting." So I think thers room for one more. I don't really feel like shifting through all the posts when I can simply state my idea and see who agrees with me. I'm sorry I didn't research this to your likeing. I'll try harder next time. (sarcasm)

I don't know how the rest of you feel about this, but I would like to see a soundtrack of all the music thats been used for all the dvds. I would be rocking it all day! What do you guys think? I called it in to the support line to toss it to them, but I never heard anything else about it...

Not shrinker, bisection can be done surrounded. Sorry for the confusion. Ghost vision is one that you don't see coming. That one you have to be careful to who you do it to though. I tell them afterwards that its just a trick. Especially if there really freaking out or if they believe its...

I got into a fight with a heckler for making some VERY innappriate comment to my then girlfriend. The only thing I love as much as magic is martial arts. I used everthing I knew on the guy and I regret it all now. I simply tell the whole crowd, or 2 people if I'm not that popular, that I'm...

Dangerous is my first flourish dvd ever. Before that, I could do a charlier cut. (sorry if I mispelled it) The only thing I can't do on that dvd is snap.d I just can't get the feel for it. I got about a month ago and it all seems pretty sraight foward to me. Really good explanations. T11...

If I can figure out how to use my stupid web cam I'll post a video of my favorite cut. Do you want false cuts? If so, Check out Bill Malone doing Sam The Bellhop. He does all false cuts and shuffles in it. I learned most of mine from that trick.

Sam The Bellhop is what got me into cards. His Zarrow shuffle is unbelievable. My Favorite Opener is one of my favorite tricks ever. Makes me wish I was dorky instead of stupid looking so I can get away with his jokes "You should really be in 3-D." If I could get away with that line I would...

Shrinker is great. I do it all the time. I prefer bisection though. It REALLY freaks people out. You can do it surrounded too. I own a head twister and I love that thing! I get great responses from it. If you can walk up to people before or after the haunted house, I highly recommend "The...

I'm very disapointed in the show. I had a low standerd for the show to begin with. I expect more from Cirque. I think Criss singal handedly brought there good name down a few notches. Cirque name, to me, means perfection and 100% satisfaction. I'm truly dissapointed in the show.

One of my mentors, who also was a mentor for Wayne Houchin, taught me that the "secret move" should be done well before anyone should even think that your going to do a move. Misderection can be funny, like when you shout "LOOK AT THAT COMET!" But I find that kind of obvious. The only funny...

I may not be able to do some of the stunts that Blaine does, or even get a t.v. special. But thats not what I want. I truly don't see how the monotone blank stare is entertaining. Is not about how much t.v. time you get. Just look at Johnny Thompson and Earl Cheney. Two amazing people in...

I second Bill Malones "On The Loose!" and "On The Spot" Both are incredible dvds. I own Derren Browns book "Tricks Of The Mind" and it changed so much of what I do. The book is exspensive but worth it. I agree something with multiple effects is always a great way to go, but I highly...

It really depends on how you hold yourself. Gestalts theory on psychology works well in this situation. I do stupid little tricks all hte time and it works well. Witness is a great trick to meet girls with. I don't do trick after trick. I talk to them for a little while and then bring out...
