You have some good effects from which to build a short close-up set. From what you listed I'd probably go with: 1. Chicago Opener (Opener) 2. ACR 3. Card Under Drink 4. Greed or Improv Nightshades (Closer) If they're really digging what you're doing maybe throw in CMH+Stairway between effects...

Get the book Theater of the Mind by Barrie Richardson. In it he has an effect called "One in a Half Million," which is a phenomenal telephone number prediction that can also be used as a force. It uses a regular ungimmicked telephone book too. Spectator flips to any page they want, runs their...

Oz Pearlman's advice is a good shorthand reference to consider when trying to figure out how to price your shows.

The Hershey kiss through table and the linked laces effect both look killer. Looking forward to seeing some reviews on this.

First it was a street magician doing cards across when I was a kid. That really captured me and blew my mind. But mostly it Copperfield when I was a kid. His specials were always the big talk of the day the following day at school. Blaine really re-inspired me too. Love what he's done for, and...

Williamson is awesome. His 51 Cards to Pocket and T&R Transpo are two of my favorite card effects to perform. No doubt it will be a great lecture.

That's why you conceal it in something. Smith goes over this pretty extensively on the DVD. My problem is that while the thinking behind it is great, the execution--not so much. Papercrane said they were sending me a new m****r as that may be the reason mine isn't working the way it's...

Thanks, Shane. Hope you can make a believer out of me because right now I'm really disappointed with this thing because even trying to use it on a basic level, it still doesn't work. PM'd you.

Yeah, I watched it twice because I thought I missed something. Didn't see anything about troubleshooting. Right from the start the teaching on the DVD seems to pretty much assume it works perfectly. And it doesn't. At all. It's awful. I'm a pretty smart buyer when it comes to magic and always do...

Is anybody using this? I got mine in today, and right now I'm really not impressed. The impressions usually don't show up at all. There's no way I'd use this in a real performance--it's completely unreliable. Anyone using this with success? If so, I'd greatly appreciate a PM.

Good stuff, Rob. Keep it coming, man. Funny stuff. :)

You could but after you see the method I can't see any reason why you'd want to.

I've had trouble with it too. This seems to be common for quite a few people.I think the instruction is a bit unclear.

Best version out there, in my opinion, is Steve Spill's Confessions of a Needle Swallower.

Right here.
