Okay so every so often the "what's the best deck," poll gets posted on online forums. Biggest problems with these polls have been in inclusiveness. There is only so many poll options you can post on a forum. As a way to have a little fun, and get the word out on my new website, I have created...

An older deck but I finally got around to putting this through its paces. http://www.custom-playing-card.com/bicycle125.html

Okay so I just got the "Groove Electric Switch" download and really fell in love with this move. It just really "feels good" to practice. That said, I really don't have a lot of use for it in my repertoire right now. I'm sure over time I will slowly start adding it in here and there but, for the...

Okay so first off, kudos to William Draven for inspiring this post. Last Saturday night contest he took an effect I have used many times (23 to be exact) and completely changed the patter and presentation. There were many great effects that night but that one was my personal favorite because he...

Here is a link to a Video Review of both the Joe Porper Strong Box and the Collector's Workshop Serendipity http://vimeo.com/33656919 **note to Mods** I made two threads for the same review because the video covers both items. I did this because, when this thread gets buried, I want people...

What got me thinking about this was that it seems that every year 2 to 4 people come out with ways to make no palm card to pocket using various gimmicks. It just struck me as odd. Learning to palm was probably one of the first skills I focused on after learning a double lift and a shuffle...

The first three minutes is the effect. The rest is a review for a deck that most of you already have. Love to hear your thoughts. Cheers, http://vimeo.com/33067110

So I am considering going pro or at least semi pro within a year. I have created about 4 really tight sets of magic that I can use for restaurant/walkaround and I have one 45-50 mn parlor/small stage act. Now one of my real joys are gambling demos but to this point that has just been my guilty...

Okay so I think that prancing around on stage and waving your hands about is a little silly but such is the life of any illusionist. What gets me is how little you hear people people glowing, or even talking about, Frans Harary but how often you hear people swooning over David Copperfield. What...

Okay so I have a fun Mentalism show that plays well for small parlor shows(20-30 people). I want to bump my show up a venue. Large parlor stuff performing for between 50-100 people. So I am going through redesigning the act and obviously Q&A is a good act for larger audiences. I am considering...
