I've seen a few folks over the past few years who have posted impromptu versions of this on online forums. What he seems to have done is figured out how do do this with the cap on the bottle.

Yeah I think with your character and presentation you could pull off escape arts very well. I've always had an interest in escape arts but I am so tired of the banal presentations I have seen from many of the guys I have seen lately. It seems everyone goes with the "Dude I am a total adrenaline...

I have had great success with Serendipity. It requires sleight of hand and is essentially a walk around "ring Box." It meets the criteria of being safe for the ring(provided it isn't a diamond ring. I don't think there is any ring flight on the market that is 100% safe for diamond rings) but it...

First off- Are these guys being directly rude to you or simply not responding to "friend" requests? Because if it is the latter you can always just join their fan page. Many of these guys do try to keep the business end of their facebook life and the private side separate. If they have a Fan...

I shudder to post this...But what the heck I gotta a thick skin. http://vimeo.com/19880384 Skip ahead to about 4 minutes in. That should get you past all the deck review thoughts and into the ACR. Anyways I'm posting it for one reason. This ACR existed for the same reason that I think you have...

Great array of second deals. Miler spin shift was exquisite! The hand look good on your bottom but I could still "hear it." I have the same issue and I started snapping my regular deals a bit. Thus, you can't tell the difference in the sound between the bottom and top deals. Well done. I really...

Are you looking for a gambling themed card effect (ie a walk around style card effect that could be presented to a layman as gambling skills) or are you looking for the real deal?(A sit down, table routine that demonstrates many of the moves gamblers might use in a real game of poker or blackjack?)

ROFL! That is one of the more classic quotes to grace the T-11 boards!

Hind sight is 20/20. In the heat of the moment, and after Penn's comments, I'm sure he was thinking "So close!" which led to the comment. I think the show and the people on it are really doing their best not to expose anything. It always sounds worse to people who have been doing this for a...

"Karmically" uncool bringing up discourse from private messages on public forums. I honestly don't like this one either but I would offer Josh some advice along the lines of, "Josh I think those effects might play well live but they were a poor choice for webcam magic." Telling him he doesn't...

Good idea. Especially if you are the kind of guy who gets all twitterpated when just about everyone jumps on the board agreeing with your basic premise but, because they don't agree with every nitpicky nuance of your post, you feel justified getting argumentative. You must be a real magician...

Because some people like the idea of a card rising to the top of the deck(going to pocket, transforming, or whatever) without any visible handling of the deck after the card is inserted in the deck. It's just cleaner is all.

Well that's even worse then! Problem is that most of us are not bothering to read through the whole page and I don't think you made you beef specific enough. So naturally the rest of us offered up or "generalized" opinions. But, yes, if the guy is selling other peoples magic secrets without...

I'm just going to preach with the choir on this one. I think too many people are coming up with ideas for three seconds of magic and not enough people are building shows and characters. I have a friend who is a young magician that has a real natural way with people. He is a natural performer...

I honestly look at PUA much in the same way Derren Brown looks at NLP. If you are a socially competent person who naturally has all the skills required then it may be of use helping you put the pieces together but other than that it is mostly a big marketing ploy. If you are a socially awkward...

Okay first, I am not a Fig hater, I chuckled at his act and found it entertaining. That said, bottom line I agree with most of the people who were not happy with it. For those bewildered by why he is getting so much criticism, let me break it down as succinct as I can. As magicians we have every...

Ahh well in that case just go for what you like. If you are looking for things that may increase in value keep your eye on Dan and Dave's website. They will be releasing another Smoke and Mirror here in a week or so. Those are always printed in relatively smaller numbers so they usually increase...

If you are an absolute newbie then get a deck of bikes, or whatever is cheap where you live, and start there. If you have a specific style of magic or flourishing, then let me know and I'll try to give you some more recommendations. Here is a buyers guide I posted a while back...

I grew up in Wyoming, a rural State, with very little access to magic shops and magicians. The internet first served to get me back into magic and regardless of where I am I can participate in the magic community. First it helped me to learn by ordering from on-line shops, then I could learn...

Your bottom deal looks really good but I can still "hear" it. Not far to go now. Good job.
