I know of a method where you would have someone bring up their pocket change. You then use your pocket change added to theirs to get a number that is 26, will always be 26 as long as you have more coins then them when you start. You don;t even have to know how many coins they have just that you...

It would help us to know what books you own. How long you have been performing magic things like this.

Or maybe He has multiple outs on the wall. Maybe just maybe what we don't see is the 20 or 30 minutes he spent with these people getting a read on them. Then had one of his production team prep the wall with his five or six out. When while working them he keeps moving hem down the road to the...

Daryl's lecture has a theory section where he talks about bounce/no bounce using a glass.

No contest it is Daryl.

I have a few magic looking rings I picked up at a PacSun in the early part of 2002.

I went every year from 1993 to like 1999 pr 2000. It's how I found out my mentor was one of those guys who went to LA to learn from Vernon, and that hew knew a ton of the who's who in magic at the time. I really want to see the four hour lecture on Sunday from Juan Tamariz and get my book signed.

I was going to head back to the Columbus area for Magi fest but I think i'm skipping it this year due to the same weather. I still find it crazy that i'm getting stuff on time from the post office coming to Texas from NYC but the stuff coming FedEx from California is delayed over this storm.

I have decks from the 1600s to the 1940's I keep in a small fridge kept the warmest I can keep it. All that are kept in there are cards. It's like my own salt mine and I have been doing it for about 17 years now.

Really? Because I have three bricks of the Bike with the left handed pips I use for my Hofzinser cards and some effects like this. http://houseofplayingcards.com/playing-cards/bicycle-lefty-deck.html

This is why I have been going with USPS shipping when ever I can the last few weeks. I had something ship from NYC during the snow storm on Friday by USPS and it showed up today. My other package is also coming from NYC but it is coming FedEx and it is going to be delayed a few days. Not sure...

That is why I started in hospitals and retirement homes. It was real world conditions with out having to interrupt strangers on the street who might not really want to see anything. Also it's good karma doing charity work for the sick and the elderly.

Would you feel like a real carpenter if you weren't fixing random people's woodwork? Have you ever thought that those people didn't want to be bothered and were just being polite to sit through the two or three effects you were doing? Do they say time after time "Wow that was wonderful" "How did...

Another thing I think is hurting magic is newer magicians need to learn when not to show something. It seems like they want to just go up to random people and do three or four card tricks. People become bored with magic. I hardly do anything outside a paid gig. That way when I do it seems...

There was a magician winning most of the awards at the under 18 events in the area I grew up. His mom and dad could afford the latest and greatest. I was more of a slight of hand by the Tarbell books type of guy. Magicians knew what I was doing was harder but his stuff was more flash. He used...

You mean to download it from the library for the two weeks they let you keep it before the download locks you out or are you saying steal it from a site and it's okay because they have it at the library? If it is the former that if fine if it is the latter then you are telling people to steal...

If you are teaching magic you did not create on youtube then it is exposure. It doesn't matter if someone else did it before you, it's still wrong. It really seems like you are trying to get views just through showing how slights are done. If you want to teach magic then start giving lectures at...

Not sure, that is why my top releases this year a book and two book sets.

My copy of Hofzinser by Magic Christian - Vols I and II showed up over the weekend and I have to say it was the best $250 I have spent in a long long time.
