    Saturday Night Contest - Roundtable Discussion with JB

    Do you feel that the knowledge and appreciation of magic has lessened in the newest generation of magicians (in general)? Do you think that the future faces of magic obscure the ones of the past? If you were to perform one effect to amuse Jabba the Hutt, what would it be? EDIT: I heard that...

    Alternative Method to Smoke

    Toby - it's John Kennedy's Mind Power deck. Is there a way to do it with a regular deck? I'm sure there are many. Two jump into mind straight away, one requiring a lot more pocket work, another requiring a lot more skill. *shrug*

    Advice Please

    Hmm, ok, a few thoughts. It really doesn't matter how famous he is (unless he's famous famous). Firstly, I say go for it. It doesn't matter, as I said, who he really is, how big he really is, etc. It's an opportunity to perform, and one a lot of people never get. If you perform for one night in...

    Actually, you've got a great point. A wonderful motivator.

    Stereotypes

    As a sidenote, azn, I think it's an interesting example in the debate of "You should never talk about possible methods in your patter" - which I happen not to agree with, in the right circumstance. But anyway. Stereotypes.. Umm. "You should go work in a casino and be a blackjack dealer!"...

    Interesting Use Of Cards

    Yeah, I love it. Sigh. This is the issue. I love all these haute-couture brands. But NOT for the branding. In my experience, the guys at Armani and Boss for clothing, Bang & Olufsen for accessories/homeware, Georg Jensen for jewellery, etc., are simply the most elegant products you can find...

    Interesting Use Of Cards

    Well I popped down to my Louis Vuitton store today to have a look, a few hours after I posted my last post. They come in a pack of three, individually and beautifully boxed within similarly absolutely gorgeous packaging, a bigger collective box. I had a quick look at the cards (but they were...

    Parlour type routine, please help

    I don't know about claiming to be a descendant of an Oracle - but you're right in that I don't introduce myself as a magician. At the moment, I've pretty much welcomed everyone and get straight into it. Kyle - Yes, the Vigil stuff is amazing, and very good for shows. Heavy - All in how you...

    Hong Kong Magic Shops?

    Hey guys, I just found out I"m heading overseas in a week or two and during my trip I'll be stopping off in Hong Kong. Would someone kindly tell me if/where there are any good magic shops? I did do a search, but I didn't really find specific enough information. Forgive me for my lack of...

    Interesting Use Of Cards

    Oh damnnn these are cool. I might actually hop down to LV and have a look myself. I remember one of these high-end companies did something like this earlier. Incidentally, if anyone is interested to look at them (because of the way the site is set up you can't actually link straight to it) go to...

    Parlour type routine, please help

    Sure. Incidentally, I think you have the wrong idea about something else - that I use no props whatsoever. True, I don't use any gimmicks, but I definitely do have props - namely, my cards. At one point, I also borrow a coin, a watch, and a wallet. My set is based around the theme of...

    What are you looking forward to?

    My Roger Klause book arriving... My TA arriving... That's about it. Too much to learn from at the moment to look forward to anything new.
