Between promoting Subway and not being funny in movies he's also pushing the magic envelope. As is John Lovick. ;)

A few ideas off the top of my head... 1. You could draw something or write her a nice letter and give it to her. Then, after she looks at it, pass a lighter underneath and burn away all the ink until the only thing that's left is the message saying "Will you go to prom with me?" You can do this...

That was my favorite "This Week in Magic" so far. Great questions and great insight from Mr. Kenner. Love what you do, Dodd. Thanks so much for keeping the Magic Newswire running strong. I really get a lot out of it and really enjoy your work.

1.What effect, that you have created, were you most conflicted about releasing to the magic community and why did you eventually decide to release it? 2. What is the most meaningful magic moment you have created for someone through a performance? 3. Why magic? Out of all the crafts and...

I'm just happy he provided me with a sense of humor. ;)

I think the intention behind this thread was a great one, but I doubt this thread is going to really help anyone as is. The reason being is that this thread is just a large list of books without any context. If I go to a magic shop I see the same thing--a large selection of book titles. If I go...

Just wait until you get divorced.

Luseifho covered the major points. To make it more convincing when you're doing the slop shuffle, don't just turn your right hand palm up and palm down, but alternate your left hand in as well. Right hand goes palm up and down, then left hand does, then right, etc. Looks much more convincing...

The notes on Paul Harris's site are mine--the same ones I compiled and wrote in this thread--with some other guy taking the credit for them. :/

So even though I started this thread and found and posted more than half the cookies myself, and compiled and wrote all the cookies notes myself, some guy named Ezekiel Jump is taking credit for all of it on the Paul Harris Presents site. It's not a huge deal, but it does sting a little that...

Good choice. "Empty the coins in your purse into your mind, and your mind will fill your purse with coins." Benjamin Franklin

Either 2 or 3. Paperclipped is a really strong effect as it is. In my experiences with it, the original effect is stronger straight forward than it is turning it into a transposition or change.

A few weeks ago I was working a restaurant and I performed Anniversary Waltz for a very sweet and very old couple. I use Garrett Thomas's handling (by far the best handling of the effect), and present the effect more-or-less the same way he does--which is to only do the effect for a married...

That's an interesting quote. I agree with that philosophy as well. Where/when did you see/hear Mr. Fisher say this?

-When you produce the sponge ball it's off camera, so I don' know what the production looked like, but she didn't react at all. She cooly just says, "Uh huh." Not sure if this was just an off reaction to what you normally get with the first production, but you may want to reconsider it. -You...

Has Duane Laflin passed on this information to David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, Criss Angel, or Lance Burton yet?

It all depends on your personality. In general I'd say no, because most of the time it doesn't work, even though most performers will think it is working for them. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule. You just have to have the right personality for it--and most don't. David...

I agree. The line isn't flying and it makes you sound kind of goody-two-shoes. Just say, "Watch, I'll do it again too" and take it back. They don't know what that means--are you going to make it into 8ths? They don't have time to realize what that line means before it's out of their hand. All...
