    Advice for a Magic Castle Audition.

    Since I live in Texas I didn't have to go there on audition in person. As a non-resident applying for full membership they suggest sending a DVD or a link to a video, and since I'm not a fan of having videos of my magic on-line i went with a DVD. I did three things. I did a a Sam the bellhop...

    Double Backer Storage

    I keep mine in top loader hard plastic baseball card sleeves. It keeps them from warping. I keep all of my gaffed cards in these.

    A Case for Books

    My book collection won me the Monday Night contest through Murphy's a couple of weeks ago. Granted it was more cards, but they did something other than teach me magic.

    Tricks of David Blaine

    This is why like 75% of my stuff is from books and magazines printed before 1950 and some before 1900. Not many are doing this stuff and it makes me stand out.

    Tricks of David Blaine

    If you are really working on becoming a better performer, which I think you are compared on how you were when you first came here, then I would pick up Five Points of Magic. I think the German edition might not be out of print or hard to find. I know it was a pain trying to replace my English...

    Tricks of David Blaine

    It's as if the really good stuff is priced high to keep it out of the hands of those not ready and those who only want to know how it's done. It reminds me of a quote by Diaconis response to a question about why he did not publish his methods: "Why give tools to the animals?"

    Tricks of David Blaine

    Fun story. I have heard that it is not Harry who goes off but his Personal Assistant who does. So who knows. As far as culls I use the version taught on David's Cull DVD. As for OoTW I use the UF Grant version that uses a shuffled deck in use.

    There was a thread on this a couple of weeks back. We told them at the time that was a little too late. Now we are 72 hours out it is really too late to learn anything in time.

    How do you create a presentation?

    Which is unfortunate really. I always loved learning things with no patter. It made me work at setting my own style. Now younger guys think this is how it should be done.

    How do you create a presentation?

    I was using it as not a patter thing but ways to make an effect your own. Even if you cut down half the phases, and I think it was this long because it was for his L&L stuff which included one book and I think video that is nothing but ACR, it is still way different than your normal presentation...

    How do you create a presentation?

    For ACR look at Daryl's version. It's a nice starting point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4iu5FMaR2o
