For starters, your not "early" at all but LATE. If you want to create a solid Halloween season program, especially a Seance, you should have started a year ago. This is quite possibly the most difficult mode of performance one could attempt in that it's very easy to come of cheesy or just...

some fair and interesting comments, most of which are sound but, if you have The Mark Wilson Course and/or Tarbell you have more than you'll ever need for building up an act of this sort. My questions are a bit basic though... 1.) What kind of act are you envisioning? Comedy, Big...

The experience is known as "earning your chops"... I've worked "retirement homes" in which most of the "guests" have one foot in the grave and can't follow much of anything, especially when they need to "think" or "remember" things :( But I can assure you that in time it will take you to some...

Such a disheartening truth. What you describe is what I and many others have attempted to teach others when we say that magic IS real. For some odd reason today's magic buff becomes very jaded and arrogant, refusing to look at the more fantastic idea as to what magic is supposed to be...

oops!... I probably should have read the first post... by the title of the thread I thought this was for introductions... dang, book & cover things... :rolleyes:

Just to Recap... I've actually been a member of this forum since it's early days, it's only been recently however that I have set some time aside to "get involved". Some of you may know me from other forums or On-Line VISIONS eZine (which is coming back on line next month). I've also...

I should have mentioned that Papercrane products offers large quantity spools of thread at reasonable prices.

:mad: I can't get the edit thing to work :mad: Anywho... those curious about Bizarre might look up the Shadow Network as well as the Gene Poinc section @ the Learned Pig site.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by this comment. UP-DATE: Due to various political issues (not that the magic world has such things) Karl has apparently shut-down DragonSkull and isn't responding to anyone's eMails. Because of the void this has created I'm trying to pull a new site...

KeoSilver... my launching into over your immaturity has nothing in common to my getting onto you over how you use the term GAY... check into what is listed as a "hate term" in conjunction to that word being used the way you employed it... hell, there are TV commercials addressing this issue, so...

THIS IS A PC SLAM :mad: Are you aware of the fact that calling something "Gay" is akin to referring to a black person using the "N" term? It is an ugly slander when used in this manner and something tells me that I'm not the only Gay person on this forum (the magic & entertainment industry...

You've been given some good answers but I'll toss in this link for you... DRAGONSKULL For some reason Google is posting warning signs around it but I've been involved with that site for at least a decade and never had a single problem with anything. ;)

Matt... I'm in Western Mass (Northampton). Feel free to give me a yell if you're ever in the area, I've become a "side stop" for just about anyone traversing New England along the North-South corridor.;)

The Magician's Handbook... one of those "Must Study" tomes of long ago years, had a paragraph in it that read something like this... "If you wish to become a well known magician, write a book" Today, with the Internet and the ease of Self-Publishing every 12 year old that's played with magic...

Any reputable performer develops his/her own stuff which may be based on someone elses' work and too, many of us collaborate with one another in developing effects; I'm working on three such project right now, two of which deliberately show the evolution of an idea and the variations each...

Love that Kevlar link... great lead! Spoutskee, the second link is the real truth... back in my day we would buy a pair of panty hose and strip them out. Woolly-Nylon will give you the "elastic" type IT everyone raves about... personally, I have far too much trouble working with IT these days.

Learning to work with a Swami gimmick IS a thing of personal preference. I tend to keep my nails very short so the under-the-nail type don't work for me and too, I don't like the angle you have to hold your thumb at when working with them, which is why I use the Thumb Tip style or what most of...

A "Master" of anything is typically someone that has dedicated a huge portion of their life to a given craft or skill. In the Martial Arts world as well as the more occult realms of spirituality one is typically seen as being little more than an educated neophyte even after a decade's study...

I'd just like to thank David and everyone for their support and kind words. Those that know of me know I can be a tough old bear but my intent is always centered in making you (all of us) better at what it is we do.
