You guys are killing me with these low ball prices. A good quality kids show for most experienced guys is around $100-200 and yes people pay that kind of money. At least around my area they do. And that is just middle class people in Ohio. I understand cutting friends and coworkers a special...

I would just do your basic card tricks like a sloppy triumph routine, and ACR, biddle trick, etc. An invisible deck will fry them as well. That age group is difficult because if you bust out a magic wand or silks in front of their friends...they tend to get embarassed or don't want to seem...

n30...don't feel bad. I am 31 and just recently started getting into magic heavily and doing paid gigs. I used to dab and play around a little bit but just within the past year got bitten by the magic "bug" so to speak. For the past 8 years I just did a few tricks here and there for my own...

I bought mine from Hank Lee's shop in Boston when he had a good discount of 25 percent going on. It was still around 100 bucks though. You get a music CD with it, and instructional dvd I believe, the gimmicked cloth and an ungimmicked cloth. Do a search for it and see what comes up. I don't...

If you have time to get this and prepare for it....Bill Abbott's "The Thing" would be a great closer. Check it out. Kids go nuts over it. It is a great levitation.

I just emailed Hank Lee about these as he carries these as well. My questions was: Do these bands match exactly the size 19 yellow that a lot of us are using now days? His response: No, but they are very close.

I've checked 3 Wal Marts in Ohio so far and no luck. Which is Odd because the United States Playing Card Company is in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Good Stuff Steve. Justin is awesome. I agree...he does treat everyone like you are an old friend and not like this superhuman magician that talks down to you. That is why I loved his online chats. It was like we all just hung out and showed magic and talked. I've heard nothing but great...

Dylan...awesome story. I love to read reaction stories like that. Keep up the good work.

I agree with everyone else. Probably 2 tricks with the correct patter and presentation should be fine otherwise you will be rushed and nervous. I would do anything that changes, appears or disappears. Definitely what lay audiences like to see. Extreme Burn, Anything with silks, cups...

Paul's lecture was the best I've attended. He showed us many effects and explained many principles that Ortiz has in his book Strong Magic. His topic of discussion was, "Instructions not included" Every prop must have a reason for existing. You Do NOT have to use the patter and...

Ok Brad...care to fill me in? Obviously there is a story or inside joke so....do tell if you are able to.

Ha Ha...I knew someone would say they handle like butter. Remember the thread on here about "handling like butter". That is funny. Funny visual of a magician holding a stick of butter and flourishing. All of the walmarts around me have them and kids are getting them like crazy so I don't...

Hey guys...my local ring is having Paul Gertner tonight for a lecture. I know he has won many awards, been on Johnny Carson,etc. What is he mainly known for? Cards, coins, a little bit of everything? Are there any good tricks that I should request to see if he has time at the end? I am...

I like to build a connection first and then show them the magic. That way not only do those people walk away saying he was a great magician, but they also say, "He seemed like a good guy with a fun personality. That is someone who I would hire to come to my house and do a private gig for my...

All I have to say is this is definitely going to fun to use. It isn't at all what I thought it would be and will take some practice but I bet not too much. I've just finished reading through everything (the 28 page PDF) and then constructed my gimmick in less than 5 minutes. The possibilities...

It took about about 3 minutes and then a new email popped up in my yahoo account with a link to download. Well..guess I will be exploring and reading tonight. Hope I like it.

Just put it in my cart and paid for it but nothing showed up yet as a download so I don't know if it takes awhile since it just became available or if you get the download right now.

Is says available now and it lets you add it to your cart and takes me to paypal...hope it downloads for me.

Just checked Madison's site and Advocate is now available as a PDF download. If this is already posted somewhere...feel free to delete this. Have fun everyone.
