Because without the person creating/releasing the effect, you wouldn't know about it in the first place--you're paying them for doing all the work FOR you. If you don't want to buy tricks, put in the effort to come up with your own. You should only be making the gaff if you don't want to re-buy...

I meant they can't with the gaff that I make...of course they can with the real gaff. Also, what type of printer do you use that prints so well on Bicycle stock cards? I'm curious, because if the printed back really blends in that well, I may be in the market for a new printer, heh...

Awesome, I'll be looking forward to the clips. :)

Quite honestly, whatever you can get. Try them all. Even if you worked at a different place every night of the week--whatever it takes. Personally, working maybe 2-4 nights a week would be ideal, because that leaves me some room to book other events (and you're bound to get some working at a...

You are NOT robbing people by charging that much. You WILL be selling yourself short if you accept less...and you'll be setting the bar nice and low for those who follow in your wake. But yeah, there's a local magician in my city who works the Pizza Hut around here on Wednesday nights...makes...

During one of the first few Justin Miller chats I asked him about wages...he said that back when he was first starting out, about $65 for three hours would be about fair. Nowadays, he suggested not accepting any less than $100-200 (US dollars) per three hours at a restaurant. Note that three...

No need to apologize for asking, heh. I tried printing it directly on a card, and it didn't work out well at all. I tried splitting the card first, seeing if maybe using a thinner piece going through the printer would help, but it didn't. Even the non-white wasn't showing up well, and it would...

Is this a joke topic? Either way, I'll reply as if it's not. When you "stand on the backs of giants", you're basing your ideas on the people who came before you. In science, that means you're basing your work off of the work of those who came before you. In magic, that means you're basing...

That's because usually you're printing on a white surface. Anyway, I'm not sure of any way to print white ink (besides buying a white marker/pen and trying to draw whatever it is you're trying to print). That brings up my next question--what are you trying to print, and what are you trying to...

Fans: No prob! While I fully endorse purchasing effects, it's nice to be able to replace the included gaffs or other such products without breaking the bank (note that the included gaff is not exactly as described, but it accomplishes the same thing). Also note that I hope you meant that you no...

As far as I know, they don't sell them. I just make mine. Like mentioned above, I print out the picture of the Hershey Kiss (on a semi-thick glossy paper, so it somewhat resembles a playing card finish) and glue it on the card (note that I use rubber cement, just because it tends to work out...

While it's obvious some thought went into coming up with the tricks, I don't actually use any of them. Like has been mentioned, the method is far too obvious. The best one, in my opinion, is when you move the dots around on the corners of the glass (or add and subtract them from the glass, I...

Hahahahaha...that was excellence. :)

Yeah, I was away for a while (busy with midterms for about a month to a month and a half), but when I returned the irc channel was gone. :( It'd be nice to have it back. :)

I would suggest any introductory textbook to psychology, and any psychology books relating to Social Psychology. Most universities offer undergraduates an Introduction course to each type of psychology that they can choose from (they don't teach the meat and bones of the stuff until graduate...

Yellow Bandanna. It will definitely show your ability to present (without speaking), although it won't showcase your sleight-performing abilities. It's a lot of fun to perform, and always gets great reactions (unless you completely suck at acting--in which case, performing anything wouldn't...

I have both Extreme Burn and Prophet, and prefer Extreme Burn. They're pretty similar, but I like the routines that are taught on Extreme Burn a lot more.

Indeed, he goes over every detail. And you can use either a real or a fake rose, although the real one is far more impressive (especially when you let the volunteer keep it). :)

This is a walk up and do it type of effect, and a powerful one at that. My brother has been doing this effect for weddings, banquets, and other special events and has really garnered quite the reputation because of it. The important thing is that you practice the effect to perfection, and be...

I'm also Canadian. What works nicely is moving the seal from an American one dollar bill to a Canadian five dollar bill. I hope that helps! :)
