That's great Chris. I agree...you need very visual effects for these types of young children. I think appearing cane and rope to silk would be outstanding but I am just thinking of little things that fit into my pants pocket as I am walking in the hallway at school. I may need to buy some...

I consider myself lucky because I have two brick and mortar magic shops within 10 minutes of my house. Both of the owners are members of our IBM ring. I send them business and I get a price break on the stuff I buy. It is definitely the way to buy things if you need to have things demo'ed...

I have tried many effects for some of the special needs children in our building but many things are too hard for them to follow, even keeping track of what is going on such as sponge balls, however today I was just messing around with a "Stained Tattoo" from E that I found in my desk drawer. I...

I agree with what everyone else is saying about the all black cards losing their edge color and losing their appearance. I actually enjoy the white border around the guardians because it sets them apart from all of E's black decks and adds a nice contrast. Yes you can take a black sharpie...

Hey Will, Nice to have you here. You will have a great time here. I'm from Canton, Ohio. I'm 31 and have been into magic for the past 10 years but no cardistry.

Thanks guys for all of the compliments. This week alone I had three kids come into the room wanting to demonstrate a hot rod routine, nickels to dimes routine and stiff rope. Yes we all know that these are very simple effects but in the minds of these young children, what they are doing is a...

We have had a few members of our IBM ring make these...do not use plywood unless you want to be lugging around something VERY heavy. Two of our guys used strong foam board and then covered them with cloth from a fabric store. This is definitely the way to to do it and have it portable with ease...

I am getting the FLIP mino HD for X-mas. I hope I love it. Then maybe I can start posting some live footage of my performances or just an effect or two.

Thanks industrial child. I may pick this up after I get some X-mas money or gig money. Is there one DVD that stands out then the others or are their gems sparactically placed on each DVD making you buy the entire set?

Over the past 9 years of performing not only for adults, but for my 4th grade students whom I teach, I have noticed that magic is so influential and breaks down so many barriers. I know this is not mind blowing info for most of you but I thought I share. Many of my students now bring decks of...

Nice muscle pass man. How have you worked on it? Reactions were just so so but I understand that you were just showing a different angle perspective too. Small flashes like you said but most laymen probably wouldn't have caught anything because they aren't trained like us to watch the opposite...

Jack, he listed that (CMH) as his opener silly. I would look into Alan Wong's Star Gazer. I use this EVERY day at some point in time and people love it. It is the effect that allows you to use the rubber band and produce a Star shaped band and let them keep it as a souvenir. It is fairly...

Becoming famous can have a lot of different meanings. Some people may think that their local town magician is famous and yet he or she may not be known anywhere else outside their area. You sound like you want to have a career though so this would be my advice: You need to get yourself...

Alright man. Thanks Eric. I look forward to seeing a lot of your material as well. Ed called me about three weeks ago and was bragging about you big time. If Ed brags about you....you've got to be proud because it takes a ton of talent to impress him. See ya there.

No...this is the big, thick hard back one that runs about $45 new I believe. New Modern Coin Magic, Expanded or something like that.

Great point vintage, You do need to end the set with a line promoting the business and yourself.

You guys are going to flip but at the magic auction I went to a few weeks ago...I picked up The New Modern Coin Magic Book by Bobo for $8 bucks. What a steal. It is only missing the dust jacket.

Chris, it sounds like even though there weren't many people I'm sure you learned a little bit from the night. As far as where it was good to stand, angles, type of space you have to work with, etc. That was weird that he had you work from 6-7. I would have thought he would have wanted you...

Looking forward to meeting Eric at Magi-Fest in Columbus. I'll be headed down with Ed Ellis who is also performing and lecturing.

Chrystal, I would agree with you if this bar was making him work 3 hours tonight but it sounds like this is 1 hour test run. If Chris blows them away and people are buying drinks and going nuts.....he will be asked to come back I guarantee it. If they don't then shame on them. That is when...
