    Is It Too Late to Learn?

    You're DEFINITELY not too old to start, man. There are plenty of people who have jumped right in with both feet and, because they loved it so much, they got really good really fast. As long as you're enjoying it and having fun that's really all that matters. Jump in and enjoy and see where it...

    Guy Hollingworth's Triumph

    There's a place for both video and books. That's why most top creators have released material through both mediums. Sounds to me like Moiz gets that more than most of the people posting on this thread do.

    Coin Waltz by Alex Pandrea

    Very cool. Thanks for the reply, Sean. Can both coins be borrowed as well?

    Coin Waltz by Alex Pandrea

    Cool looking effect. So there are two coins and two signatures used in the routine. My question is does the magician have to introduce one of the coins, or sign one of the coins himself, or can both coins and signatures both be from audience members. I'm assuming not, but just curious. The...

    The Brick Pass by Alex Pandrea

    Glad you decided to go ahead and put this out, Alex. You definitely had something to contribute to the pass, man. Well done, sir. Also, good to hear the news on the download vs. streaming issue. I was unaware it was a temporary fix to a bug. Good news! :)

    The Brick Pass by Alex Pandrea

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EDh27Shgbs So I've been using the pass for quite a while now. I got comfortable with it after working with Peter Cassford's video "Pass With Care." Excellent teaching of the pass. Still, I'm always looking to further my knowledge and skill with any sleight I...

    Centrifugal by Magick Balay

    Just got this, and I must say, this is great. Another solid release by Magick Balay. When it comes to thread work, I've been a big fan of Loops for years now. I've never liked trying to manage loose thread set-ups, always preferring being able to easily get in and out of my thread effects...

    That's a great story. Mac King is the man!

    Wayne Houchin Lecture Tour - Review

    According to my research, as well as comments from Wayne, it's not. Not the way he did it.

    Wayne Houchin Lecture Tour - Review

    Last night I attended a lecture presented by Wayne Houchin. I've seen quite a few lecturers over the years, and Wayne is definitely one of the best I've seen. For starters, something I really enjoyed was that Wayne actually performed his effects. He went through his full presentations as if...

    On-the-Spot Coin Bender

    This is one of those situations where you're going to get what you pay for. On the cheap end you have the Superman coin bend, which has its own limitations and issues. The next step up is Coinvexed, which is a bit better bit still not a perfect solution. The only way to go really is to get a...

    Needle Swallowing?

    Steve Spill's DVD is excellent! I've been using his version since it was released and have gotten a lot of mileage out of it so far. It's well taught, thorough, and a fantastic method. You won't be disappointed with Steve Spill's DVD should you decide to get it.

    Criss Angel... This Is How We Should Be...

    Your glass is full, grasshopper. Agreed. Robert Green's book is an excellent read. I love the historical perspective he brings to the subject. Very well written.

    DVD On Presentation & Showmanship

    I suggest starting with Darwin Ortiz's "Strong Magic." It's a book. Books are good. You know... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgcZNpmOKuk
