My effects are mine and mine alone. Maybe when I'm old I'll write a one man parade and give some of them that way, but until then I'll keep making money from performing them.

Remember not all magicians sell their effects. I have many effects I do that people asked where they could buy it. they can't and I don't plan on releasing them. I want my killer effects to be my killer effects. I have a version I do where you pull two ropes and hand both out since it ends clean.

There have been a ton of great books this year alone. High Caliber by John Bannon, Full Bloom by Gaetan Bloom & Kevin James, Creative Magic by Adam Wilber are just the books I have picked up this summer. Honestly if you are looking for talk about the books this is the wrong forum. Only a few of...

There have been a ton of effects like this before. Just have to check old rope magic books. Also hard to do a convincer like that with a lanyard since you can't really to a "pull through" BTW you might want to talk when you are doing this. I have really good speakers.

You must be new here. I'm one of the very pro book crowd.

But but but those are books.

Oh can I take a guess?

Doesn't matter if it is a $5 $25 or $500 effect. It was wrong to expose something another magician created and sells.

Is that the Roth handling Chink a Chink Ammar's shadow coins or Dil's call shot?

Better question, how would like it if Calen Morelli came into your house and stole your TV?

Never expose an effect someone else created.

No it is black and rubber. Look inside you car's engine. That black rubber stuff on the wires is heat shrink.

North Central Ohio and West Virginia is where I did my high school time back in the mid 90's I can tell you it was the same type of stuff. You got beat up by the pulling guard during the week and saw the QB get the girl on the weekends all because you didn't drink or smoke or toke. There is a...

He has left out a few things like is it a stage gig or a strolling gig. A performer can make a close up effect into something other than a 30 to 90 second effect with the right patter. This is why knowing how to structure your act and know how to write a script is important. Also I'm a working...

There is a reason my cut off for New Years and Christmas parties is the first of September. The five P's

I was lucky to have a mentor in magic who told me what I needed to hear. It's also the reason I have a paid director for my act.

It's because the younger magicians no longer learn from a mentor. They no longer learn theory from books. No longer learn how to script and stage a performance. It's all about the hot new download or cool one trick DVD. It's all about the cool looking cards. No longer do they learn rope magic or...

At first the heat shrink was there to hold the shell casing I used for the wand tips. Then I found it added a bit of grip.

I keep having to tell myself that street magic is not what it was when I started. To me street magic is busking. It's an outdoor parlor show... What you need to do first thing Monday morning is head over to the director of the drama club. Talk to him or her about staging, scripting, and how...
