I have also heard that Beyond Deception is a good read as well. Can anyone confirm this?

He beat me to it...I wouldn't keep the football from notepad and the bowling ball...those are very similar. Do one or the other. Other than that...it looks like a great line up of effects. Good luck and have a blast man.

Magic Shadow...how long did it take before you could do a short little routine with your fiber optic dvd and feel confident? I'm just wondering because I may buy this. Thanks. Never mind...I think your review said 3 days and you had routine. I wonder if that meant...good enough to perform or...

Is this when it is just you practicing or when you are in front of audiences? In front of audiences it could be your nerves making your hands sweat...this was the case with me until I had performed enough. If it is when you are just practicing...hmmm...that is weird...you could try a tad...

Murphy's Magic Supplies, Penguin, Ebay, Ellusionist, Theory11, and MJM, have all been great to me. Hank Lee has been so so. There have been a few issues with things not in stock when the site doesn't tell you that. He said he was working on getting that corrected so that you don't have to...

My father who is a shop teacher with 30 years experience built me a close up table top and box very similar to Justin Miller's Pro Table. He said that is the one and only one he will ever build because of how difficult it was. He put 25 hours of work into it and man is it sharp. It isn't...

Dude..your show seemed about what a first time or even second or third might bring. Nerves will definitely get the best of you as they did me. I used to get the sweaty perspiring palms which caused terrible sleights. My mouth would become dry and I was afraid of failure. Now I have performed...

I totally agree with this. I feel that I tend to be a very big impulse buyer and now have so many things and can't seem to be "happy" with a lot of them. By no means am I a beginner. I've been in magic 9 years now but when you mix the fact that I am a magician and an extremely bad impulsive...

Please try the search feature because I know there are a lot of threads on kids parties and children's magic on Theory 11 and over at E. The only reason I know is because I have responded to at least 4 of them...and they all basically ask the same question you are asking. Thanks.

Neither of my parents are magicians, however, at the age of 30 I am a parent of two children, 10 months old, and 4 years old. I will say that my 4 year old son loves to see me do magic and he even fools around with some of the props too. He can almost do his own little cups and balls...

I think I just found your answer to your second gimmick. If you do a search for Optic Wallet...you will find it for sale at a certain magic dealer for 35 bucks and it comes with 8 cards to do different effects with. If it isn't the same one as yours...I am willing to bet it works almost...

The first one sounds like a WOW gimmick and now there are a few different companies that are making them. The second one I saw at a magic trade show but I forget the name of it. It is a cool little leather book that opens and the printing of the card is actually on the clear flap but as the...

I think some of you misunderstood what I was asking. I have been at two gigs where it is like more of a corporate event with table hopping but with no time to reset anything. Not performing over and over for the same spectators....different tables..different spectators. A lot of you did not...

What are some good "instant reset" tricks for strolling when you need to perform it over and over again and you have zero time to reset a scotch and soda or gimmick that requires some fidgeting? So far I use: Free Will - Nice mentalism piece with 3 wooden discs Invisible Deck Spongeballs...

Josh is a great guy. He is from my hometown of Canton, Ohio. He went to the high school where my wife teaches at. This past summer he did a nice lecture and shot the dvd that comes with his new book. I had the opportunity to attend with our local magicians and are actually on the dvd playing...

You will also learn that sometimes you have prepared and prepared and are excited to do a show for a group and for some reason due to the audience...the venue...nerves...accidents...flashing...you will have a poor performance and feel terrible after the fact or on the way home. I have done a...

I did not receive a PM...rather an outside email invitation to this site which I believe doesn't break any rules because it wasn't an invitation or posting on this website.

I used to use Jay Sankey's In a Flash and it was awesome. It did require just a slight bit of misdirection at one point in the trick but then again...what tricks don't..ha ha.

My name is Rick Everhart. I am 30 years old and live in Canton, Ohio. I have been an elementary education teacher for 9 years. I have my principal's license and hope to be an administrator in the next 5 years. I also coach the middle school wrestling team and have done amateur bodybuilding for...

Good luck man. I just performed a Christmas party show today for 15 women in their 40's. It was a close up routine show that I did on a table with them seated very close to me. They were a great audience and there were no hecklers. A lot of fun was had by all. I did a wide range of effects...
