Yes, but did you see him nail the boomerang card as they cut to commercial?

praetoritevong, for what it's worth, I understand. I once knew a magician who, when asked how many tricks he knew, would proudly and loudly proclaim the sum total of the number of items taught on the dvds he owned. When handed a deck of cards, a rope, or coins he fell silent. Brad...

The performer is Larry Wilmore is is well known in Hollywood circles as a writer and producer. He is also a super nice guy. Brad

Do you understand what are you saying? Can you tell me the difference between statistics and data (based on your post, I am unclear what you mean)? Specifically, how do you process "data" and what makes some data hardcore and some - apparently - softcore? Brad

If you are talking about "in practice" I agree. "In theory" I do not. Magic can be as moving and as relevant as any of the other established arts. Is it often that way? No. Can it be? Yes. Should it be? People can argue that point. Personally, I think it is a noble goal towards...

Yes, what could magic hope to gain but studying something cheesy like painting, drama, or music? After all, everyone is the world respects magic as an art, and no one takes those other cheesy things seriously.

If magic is an art, and if its pracitioners are artists, then how they represent themselves informs and defines the nature of their art. Blaine's look is as much a part of his magic as his tricks. In fact, many consider his stylistic choices a key to his success - he 'put a new face' on magic...

Justin, First, I appreciate your passion regarding piracy, however your 'proof' is flawed. There have been several discussions of this very matter over on the genii forum with people who have access to the actual scientific research behind this topic. In short, many studies disagree with...

You might also want to credit Larry Jennings and Bill Kalush. (I think it was bill who used the same idea but with long side to long side for an inversion effect - might have been JAmes Lewis.) However, other have explored this principle for both color and other effects.

Wow. Now I know 'what would justin do'. Revenge becomes you. Brad Ps. And honestly, I wasn't writing about you, but hey - if you saw yourself in what I wrote, I cannot be held to blame. Though you did just remind me of that great Roy Benson move.

You get a dvd of your flight. In fact, you get both an edited file as well as all the footage of the flight from each camera. I'm not big on posting stuff, but I know jason england put some of his clips online.

Well, if you actually want to deal with facts, Lovick was NOT fired from his position. He held an interim position which the Castle EXTENDED for many months beyond his original contract. And that year wasn't a bad year at all - in spite of the fact that you didn't "git" into the Castle. John...

If his copies were not legal obtained, then you do not have legal copies. The ethical thing to do is delete them all and (if you want the information) acquire them from a legal source. Brad Henderson

Hey, There is a special Zero G flight going out of Miami on October 31st and I have the chance to extend a group rate to anybody interested in coming along for that flight. I have had several magicians tell me they would love to do this, so I thought I would let you guys know about this...

Not every movie is meant to change someone's worldview, nor does every trick need to be a life changing experience. A real pro balances his intentions and goals with the realities brought before him by his environment and his audience. Sometimes an amusing little trick is the perfect choice for...

I find it fascinating how magicians continually prove they are indeed the easiest people to deceive. Most of the names we see listed again and again are not professional performers. Many believe they are. One of these names even bragged on an internet forum about his nonexistant 'trade show...

And it was a great book - wasn't it?

Aviva, While I am sure you can find many magicians who advocate theft (I can think of entire magic companies who have built their careers on it) that does not make it right. I am not interested in what a 15 year old with 1,000 downloaded DVDs and a poster of Kevin Parker on his wall thinks...

He has established what he is and seems proud of it. As he grows up he will learn that he must either change or continually find doors closing before him. He has chosen the unethical path. It's his choice.

First - what makes you think someone wants their trick - their original creation - the tool they use to put bread and butter on their table to be promoted by YOU? Most great magicians make their livings PERFORMING their magic, not selling it. (I know, that's hard to believe when the only...
