Thick skin shouldn't be an issue. Just put a little bit more "effort" into making the mark or try it on your palm. Some other suggestions though are: Bruised Tattoo Joe Ashes on the Arm Ghost Ink

Actually, from what I've seen and heard, that's very much an overstatement.

I totally disagree. A lot of Max Maven's material I find is often confusing to the audience, and I think he overuses stooges. Osterlind always comes across as totally likable and mysterious, and his material and methods are deceptive as hell (and he never uses stooges in his act). I appreciate...

Great video. That's where I started.

All of Osterlind's material is top notch. Next to Derren Brown I think he's the best mentalist alive. He'll fool the hell out of you.

Noblezada's DVD is a good place to start.

Richard Osterlind's Watch Routine (from Mind Mysteries Volume 1) is killer. The spectators do all the magic and all the magic happens in their hands and minds. Here's the official description: "Watch Routine - One spectator thinks of a time while another turns the hands of a face-down watch...

I like William Tell hook. Can't wait for these to come out. Garcia's the man.

Tasteless and juvenile (that's with one "l" by the way)? Read over what he wrote. Is he making excessive claims? I'd say definitely. Is he passing judgment? Without a doubt. I'd say my comment was pretty accurate. No need to use smaller words, but I would appreciate proper spelling and grammar.

Well aren't you just the pretentious judgmental one.

As a former high school teacher myself I would never think about taking a student's cards away if all he was doing was peforming for his friends at lunch. That's absurd. Whoever this teacher is sounds like a pr!ck. Have one of your parents give the school a call. That's ridiculous.

There are a lot of good books, but if you're looking for some of the more recent classics I'd say the top picks are: 13 Steps to Mentalism - Tony Corinda Expert at the Card Table - SW Erdnase Magic and Showmanship - Henning Nelms Modern Coin Magic - JB Bobo Royal Road to Card Magic - Jean...

If only that were true then we would never have to worry about whether our props were examinable or not. Unfortunately, spectators often need a bit more conviction than just taking what they see at face value. There's a reason David Copperfield brings audience members on stage to examine his...

I agree the 1-on-1s focus too heavily on cards, but I think this is a good 1-on-1 to put up for those who don't know it or use it. It's an awesome and easy impromptu effect.

It's just a poorly structured sentence. It should say, "On October 25th, 2009 David Blaine announced his next stunt."

So you're saying you believe people really think the bills aren't gimmicked or that one has been switched for another? That they really just take the magic as real without any extra conviction needed? Because overcoming laymen's thought that they might be "magic dollar bills" is exactly the...

Sedimentation? So Blaine is going to command the weather to break down some sedimentary rocks and carry them away? Thanks for posting. Not sure what the stunt could be based on the title, but I always enjoy Blaine's work and look forward to seeing this next stunt. It will no doubt be interesting.

That's how iTricks has always done it though. Every year. And in past years DVDs or books with multiple tricks or discs on them haven't even won, so I definitely don't think that just by releasing a multi-trick book or disc DVD/DVD set you necessarily have any advantage. For example, last year...

The final five have been posted. Pressure - Dan White & Danny Garcia HCE - Paul Vigil True Astonishments - Paul Harris Warning - Kostya Kimlaut iDeck - Noel Qualter Go here to vote.

VERY cool of you. Thanks, man. Much appreciated and looking forward to it.
