Then you and I are in total agreement. From your first post I just wanted to be sure that you were not throwing on a coat with tails, puffing out your chest, perming your hair, then walking into a close-up gig and giving the hottest chick you see a wink and the double guns and saying, "Gimmie...

I'm honestly kind of shocked that so many people here watch it. I always thought the show was kind of crap myself.But, hey, to each their own. I was puzzling in my mind the difference between AGT and BGT(I don't watch either btw) but I have been pretty unimpressed with the magic I've seen on AGT...

That was really good! Not my style of magic but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I was watching it thinking....what this show needs is a straight jacket escape and then there it was. I really like your presentation BTW. Also I really liked the mime style of performance during the first half. Have you...

Stovermagic...interesting post and I'm glad it's working out for you. Only problem is that it is a bit off topic. I can think of nothing more unprofessional than a magician walking into a gig who is blatently on the prowl for chicks. That's not to say that there are not magicians who manage to...

I was just making a point on another forum about the quality difference between the magic seen on British television vs. the quality of what is put on American television. Not that Britain's Got Talent is much better(David Penn excluded from that criticism) but on the whole.... Still waiting for...

Overall Thoughts on “Dare To Be Bold” I have come across Dual Reality before(Luke Jermay, Banechek, and even Peter Tutner’s first book) but I have never really come across a book that explores Dual Reality in such depth. If you are bold enough to perform such masterpieces as “Touching on Hoy,”...

Principles and thoughts: These are a series of thoughts principles and methods that Turner elaborates on throughout the book. I have separated them into their own section for the purpose of this review for fear that a chronological placement(as they appear in the book) would tip the methods for...

Peek Production and a Bobbin or Two: The second half of the book focuses on effects using peeks, switches, and productions to achieve the results Peek- a-boo: The performer holds a stack of business cards behind his back and has a spectator draw a simple image or write a word on it. He then...

Effects: Dual Reality: The first section of the book is largely composed of effects that use Dual reality is some way shape or form. Many have heard of this concept before but the clever ways in which Peter Turner employs this concept will likely please and surprise most of you. Trust Your...

Dare to be Bold: By Peter Turner Where to buy: http://www.peterturnermind.com/ Price: 25 GBP Dare to be Bold is the second e-book written by Peter Turner. His first book, co-written with Kenton Knepper(see review here: ) was an excellent blend of techniques and presentations that would work...

The problem with these guessing contests on the internet is that I can't use my swami:(

Frankly you first need to be frank with your audience members and let them know that you want them to think of a name, any name in the world. For instance, If you were to think of a famous celebrity you would want to think of a first name. For instance, Mr. Oz wouldn't due but you could use the...

Yes I think it cleared things up a bit. Certainly when performing you probably want to mix it up a bit so in that sense your friends are correct. That doesn't mean you have to practice 50/50. In a performance to a lay audience you really don't need to be doing the best coin effects in the world...

No doubt Daniel is good with gambling sleights and I would recommend his deck switch e-book but as of yet he hasn't "published" much of his gambling work. I'd wait until he publishes his "How to Cheat at Cards" e-book before I recommend him to someone who is just starting out. His other work...

Red: Ace of Hearts White: 8 of Hearts Blue: 9 of Clubs red- 8 hearts white- king spades blue- jack diamonds red- 10 spades white- 5 diamonds blue- 7 clubs

Foundations is a great place to start with gambling sleights...but if you want a "book" get "Expert At The Card Table" by S.W. Erdnase. Google it and you should find a few (legal) free downloads.

Not to be a jerk but I think it is kind of a dumb question. Obviously David Roth will create a more enthralling demonstration with coins, where as we all remember Ed Marlo more for his card work(though he published ideas with both). Every major magic forum has a card section and a coin section...

This is probably hypocritical coming from me, a guy who has no problem combining flourishing and magic, but truth be told I really couldn't "follow" it. Spinning the card around your fingers, though pretty, takes away from the color change. You best bet is to show it to some laymen. If they are...

Your question has mostly been answered already. There are two types of Anglo cards, Rugbacks are jumbo indexed, have a very feintdimpling pattern(They almost feel smooth) and will have gold in the back design(either as primary color or secondary color.) The Poker editions have standard indexes...
