    4 for 4 help...

    If that doesn't work, you can always save it to a disk and play in on another computer. That solved the problem for me right off the bat. Best. Steve

    I'm Home From My Trip

    Here's some advice. If you want to keep your "VIP Status", so-to-speak, then don't perform often. Actually, don't perform at all for the entire week or 2 at school. People will start driving you nuts to do some magic, but don't buy into it. Just wait a while, then do something simple. I...

    PANIC! -- my opinion after performing it.

    Yes. One thing about this effect that you don't notice (or appreciate) until after you've performed it is that it's very hard to get called out whilst you're performing. You can draw it out for several minutes, or as short as 30 seconds. A trick is only as good as long as it stays...

    PANIC! -- my opinion after performing it.

    Yea...I'd have to agree with Aaron. So far, I've only had positive experiences performing this effect. With that said, I haven't tested it out nearly enough to say that I will never be caught though. But if I am, simply vanish the deck then, and show the 4 kings front and back and they'll forget...

    Jerry's Nugget x20

    I don't care one way or another at this point. If he does have 18 nuggets, great. If not, then he must have a pretty sad life to make up something of that sort, just to feel superior to other forum members. Best of luck to ya... Steve

    What Is Wrong With Magic as an Art Today...

    I have not read the whole topic, but will give my thoughts. What is wrong with magic as an art today? How about the fact that a ton of people are just doing magic, and not entertaining an audience. There is a huge difference BTW. Many kids are basically carbon copies of David Blaine. Why...

    Theory 11 Gear

    Maybe a shirt at the most. Nothing more, nothing less. C'mon guys...this is a magic site, not the clothing department. Seriously...if they make all that stuff instead of actually puting out some useful info, then I'd be very dissapointed. Coins, hoodies, card gaurds?? How bout some...

    How long do you put Guardians in the freezer for?

    Just leave it sitting around your room for a few hours. That's all I did, and mine have been fanning fine ever since. Best. Steve

    How long do you put Guardians in the freezer for?

    Don't put them in the freezer or the fridge. Just leave them at room temperature for a few hours and you'll be good to go. Best. Steve

    PANIC! -- my opinion after performing it.

    Hey all. So...here's my opinion on PANIC! by Aaron Fisher after performing it many times over the past 48 hours. I got Panic in the mail yesterday, and played around with it for about an hour. I then threw it into the show at Red Robin. It didn't dissapoint. I probably performed it about...

    Panic Color

    Distortion is a "luck of the draw" type thing for now. Once it's offically released October 1st, then you'll be able to choose which color back you get. PANIC! is only available in red rider backs. Maybe one day if there is enough interest, it will be available in blue backs, but I doubt it...

    4 For 4: An Instant Download by Chris Kenner

    Definitely. This is a great move, and something that I too have numerous ideas based around it. Once you get it down, it looks sooooooo nice and clean. Spend the time to get it perfect...not nice, but perfect. You won't regret it. I promise. Best. Steve P.S. ThreeFry is also a great...

    What we used to be

    Curtis, You definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. One such example of a close-up magician with a good personality is Bill Malone. He has to be one of my favorite entertainers of all time. But, you also have to have a big personality for stand-up magic too. You can't just be...
