I just tried to get on E and am being told they don't exist. I've even googled and tried alternate links. Anyone else having problems? Anyone know what's up?

I've had lots of fun working such venues and with Playboy (back in the club era). If you decide to move into bigger illusions for that market, IM me. I have a ton of stuff. Oops! Now here's a big NO,NO. . . you don't use other people's material and more so, you don't want to fall back on...

I Don't Understand. . . Albert Goshman used to waddle over to a table, smile and ask, "May I Magish for you?" and thus moved into his bit. My two "openers" if you would went like this. . . First Scenario: Walking up to a table and looking around as if I lost something. Reaching the...

{Part II} THE PLAN This goes for anyone planning to start a business, and like it or not Magic IS A BUSINESS if and when you begin looking at and considering marketing strategies and making INVESTMENTS into your product. This is something most fall short on and aren't prepared for. . . trust...

I'm quickly starting to like you Benji. . . :) Simon, what Benji is pointing out is something I've tried to help other magic enthusiast to better understand; just because you have a bunch of tricks you can do DOES NOT mean you have an act or are ready to do regular shows. Similarly, just...

You stole my line (hahahaha) In truth however, we really do possess certain "super powers" we're just not aware of them now days; very natural aspects of our more primitive self, such as the awareness of environment that was known to our hunter-gatherer ancestors, even a recent as a century ago...

Ok... brace yourself... No One should ever pull together and edit their own Promo. Where you have some interesting thinking, the material comes off a bit "second rate" -- it's not "polished" in the way an actual marketing team would help you do. The big "No, No" is the music; if you are...

RD your first line makes a good point -- Mystery! Rick Maue and I have talked about this several times, how certain members of our society can just walk into a room of total strangers and capture their attention and more importantly, we are almost instantly associated with being "Magickle" --...

I must confess that I never used the Tarbell notes on this piece and was taught the bit by another Castle members. On the topic of the Tarbell Course however, here's the link and it will be the best $40.00 you ever INVESTED into your magic.

I remember when Bob Jardin first started doing the Rubber Bands (penetration) at the Hat & Hare pub in the Magic Castle, he had dozens of us chomping at the bit for the longest time (over a year). Finally, someone found it in Tarbell and slowly but surely a long forgotten effect from over 60...

Tarbell was written as a Correspondence Course just like the original 13 Steps to Mentalism; short lessons shared over a period of time (I think Tarbell was a 5 year study system if I remember the story right), it quickly became an encyclopedic set however and even after the Mark Wilson course...

Just an after thought. . . Mike Ammar was at the Magic Castle one night, getting all hot and bothered over this girl at the bar that could have been Valerie Bertinelli's twin. After showing off a bit and drawing her into his floating bill routine he made one of the coolest moves I've ever...

Mr. Draven, thanks for the support! The two forums are very similar with lots of repetition. When it comes to promotions there is one thing that I believe we need to note here; "Why are we trying to sell our gigs to magicians?" The majority of magic junkies will try to ooze into any gig we...

My biggest question is where did the original concept/method come from, too much that comes from this company gets "borrowed" from older sources and the contributors seem unable to extend credit where it is due. . . and I'm ignoring the fact that they are selling I published close 15 years ago...

I'd love to know where my post went to this thread

In hind-sight this morning I was reminded of a tip I got from Ted Lesley some years ago; it was a big ugly thing that held a full shot of booze. I don't know if it's still on the market or not but when I saw it the first time I rolled over on the floor in laughter given the fact that...

Truth is, you are not all that unique, many have done exactly what you have stated; dropped magic sometime in their late teens, gone to school, got a 9-5 career situation rolling and then rediscover magic in one form or another for whatever reason. In many cases it's because they start doing...

Very simple... start with the trusty Vernet T.T. It has been the industry standard for decades and by current standards, is a heck of a lot less expensive than some of the "superior" units which are generally "worthless". . . Not that it's not cool to have a nice tool, but that anyone that knows...

Andre and I have had several chats over the years, he's a wonderful man! It does seem we agree far more than not and believe me when I say, it's a welcomed thing, as you've undoubtedly experienced yourself, it is a rare encounter. Just a Touch. . . I grew-up Southern-Baptist and have some...

YRAMagicMan... though not directly expressed, the secondary point of this post centers on respecting others that have belief, be it a religious view such as your own, or belief in things fantastic; even the scientific/analytical view is a "belief" and is trying its best to become a new gospel of...
