Ten phases is a little long for lay people. Also the first move with the jack and joker changing places is in the Adam Wilbur book in the effect Back-up Plan. When you stack this next to something like The Money Card by Shaun Robison or Recoil by Ollie Mealing, I'm not seeing a reason for me to...

I thank God every day that my mentor kept me away from most card effects. Granted I do know a good bit of card work, but I could drop every card trick and still have thirty solid workers. I could do whole sets and never touch a deck of cards. Even when I do use cards, mostly it's not the...

Since I'm only guessing, I would say it looks like the same principal that makes Tiny Plunger work. You can buy Tiny Plunger or see page 105 in the June 2013 issue of Genii.

The sad true is English is pretty much the world's language. It would help to know where in the world you lived. To know if it is a tourist destination. To know if you need to take English as a second language course. What are your goals? Do you want to do a parlor show strolling, stage...

It would help to know more about this. How big of a group how many cameras. Can you control where they shoot from. Is the stage elevated or is everyone looking down at you. Also more cohesion in your typing will help us.

Send emails to the local IBM and SAM to find if they have Jr clubs and get the meetings times.

1996-97 and 1997-98. I would look at which one offers the better online back issue support

The SAM and the IBM both have youth programs. The SAM one is called SYM but most rings and assemblies have no problem with teens at meetings. I was president of Ring 189 by the time I was 17 because I put the work in to learn magic and because I acted as an adult not some silly teen. The IBM and...

This is never a good idea. You never know, you could be doing a poor job and the heckler could be a great magician who blows you out of the water.

To build on this more. What laypeople will except as magic and what will fool magicians are miles apart. Magicians get into this trap of thinking like magicians. \ Right now I have two versions of the same effect. The effect is a card is shown in a box. The card can be seen the entire time...

Not only will they share what they know for the price of Ring or Assembly dues (like $5 or $10 a year) most will have lectures through out the years that are either free to members or discounted. Some of the older members have been with the SAM or IBM for 20 or more years and have a large...

I do not perform for magicians. I perform for the general population. When I do work in front of other magicians what ends up fooling them is my left handedness.

Look for the local TBM or SAM group you will find guys who are willing to teach for free Not all older guys charge. I have found when to go to Ring meetings they will show you stuff free of charge. To be honest the online learning is mostly younger guys who don't know or don't want to take the...

Thanks I'll look into those as a stop gap til I can find more stick a pips in the other suits.

I had picked up a few sheets of these a couple f years ago, but now no one seems t have them. Does anyone know if they stopped making them?

We don't know who he was. That is like asking about D.B. Cooper. We only has theories and speculations.

I spent the first three years working on my act, talking to theater people, learning how to script before I did anything in public. Then again, I had a mentor who pushed me to do these things. So, we are out there...

There is a talk show host who takes his children (five and seven) with him when he gives a speech. He Always has them stand up and say something to get them use to speaking in front of groups. My father kinda did the same thing but with his mobile DeeJay service. I just don't have a problem...
