I will jump on the bandwagon as well and say that I too perform this as well as some other rubber band magic. Good performance though. I always do 3 rubber band effects in a row, and end with STAR GAZER which is another sweet souvenir hand out band. You might want to look into it.

This is a very nice promo piece and very well edited. As stated before though, the video aims towards audience members who are in their teens and twenties. Anyone over that that isn't used that that type or style of street magic. If that is what you are looking for...then super, you did a nice...

Awesome effect and idea. Looks very much like Garcia's Torn, perhaps this is where you got your inspiration or groundwork. There is a coin vanish named STUCK as well out there somewhere. The artists names escapes me right now. Overall, I loved it. Nice work.

I find the best effects to perform for table hopping are ones that require no set up at all. Or...effects that when they are finished, are all ready set up for the next performance. I learned this the hard way after one day of table hopping for 3 hours and even tried pocket management. I was...

What is your name? Rick Everhart "reverhart" How long have you been doing magic? Almost 10 years now How long have you been a member of T11? For a little over a year now. In your opinion, how has T11 changed since you joined? It used to be a place where a magician could discuss a great deal of...

The priest and boy costume idea is nothing new. I've seen this done numerous times in the past 5 years. Some people laugh and others hate it. Me personally...probably wouldn't do it. I entered a costume party contest last year as a mime and didn't talk the entire night (3 hrs) except mime and...

We have a very well known hypnotist in our IBM ring who is well known all over the U.S. I just had this same discussion at our last meeting. He said the exact same thing, that all of these new guys want to do "rapid" hypnosis and they are jerking people around and not doing the procedures...

I was just there in June. Awesome time. I will not be auditioning, just happened to go out there for vacation. I was lucky to get passes from Johnny Ace Palmer. I was able to see the Pendragons, Arian Black, Sylvester the Jester, and a few others. The environment alone is outstanding...

Thanks for sharing this story. It sure sounds like you learned a lot of valuable information doing this gig. Sometimes the lessons / info we learn is even worth more than the $$$$. Keep up the good work. I have a funny story that your "mic" situation reminded me of. As a school teacher we...

Since it is your first gig I would suggest sticking to a few self workers and some things that don't require a whole lot of difficult sleights. You will need to focus more on presentation, smiling, being polite, and just plain "having fun" with the guests. Entertain them but don't be doing...

Wow...I have never heard of a gig like that. Let us know how it goes and good luck man.

That sounds weird. At first I thought you were going to say Sankey's In a Flash trick but it isn't.

You will notice that nobody is replying to your thread because a lot of people just come on here and ask basically the same thing you did. "What is the best blah blah blah....?

I wouldn't kill yourself on doing effects. You need to do some good marketing. Have pamphlets or fliers describing the club. Have some magic books sitting out and some of your DVD's (not to sell), just for eye candy. You could even have a lap top or small TV playing a magic video off to...

I can see your point to some extent, you wanted it to be a gift to you and personalized to you but it says To: Your dad's name. With some other words. I wouldn't get your panties in a bunch. It was still nice of your dad to order it for you and it is still signed. Oh well. Don't be that upset...

Well, before everyone on this forum jumps you about using the search function. I think your question was a bit vague and general. It depends on who is performing the effect, whether or not the spectators have been emotionally hooked, patter, entertainment value, and a whole lot more of other...

Oh...my bad. I don't know how magicians would react to it. It doesn't show off much skill but it is very entertaining. Most laymen love it and freak out especially if you have a girl come up and open the lid to the cooler.

Here's one. I am not sure if it is Mayne's or not. I've seen it done before. Introduce a cooler with a sign on it that says PREDICTION. Have a deck of blank face cards but on the faces you have body parts listed: arm, leg, ear, stomach, brain, etc. Force the brain card on the spec. Inside...

I was thinking the same thing. Ha Ha. I did laugh though.

I liked the idea as well but agreed...your handling of the box isn't smooth or natural yet. It makes it very suspicious. Keep working on it and it will be great. Thanks for sharing. Well...it was definitely noticeable when you were "apparently" putting the deck in the box that you were sliding...
