    Magic gets the ladies

    This is why I keep saying that magicians need a hobby. So you can talk to normal people about normal stuff.

    Cups and Balls

    Kinda and no. The Ammar wand has a bit of weight to it. You need a solid wand with some weight as well, not a hallow plastic one. something at least the weight of a quality drum stick. The cheapest way to get there really is to head to the local hardware store. Not one of the big box ones...

    Magic gets the ladies

    But I met my girlfriend while playing video games. We are both into "geek" stuff. Video games WoW, Guild Wars 2, swords and sorcery books. It's not all I'm into though, but if someone looks down on me because I know Han shot first or Capt Janeway was a horrible captian, then I'm not sure they...

    Cups and Balls

    Dai Vernon would make the ball vanish with a wand spin. It is a really sexy move. Here is Dai on the old Mark Wilson show doing cups and balls. He gets into it about a minute fifty. The wand spin is there. It shows the ball in hand and then the vanish on the spin...

    Cups and Balls

    I have the hard copy of the Michael Ammar book. It is a great place to start. Also learn the Vernon wand spin. I think the basic basic cups and balls would be the Mark Wilson Course in Magic version. Pretty straight forward.

    Cups and Balls

    L&L has the Michael Ammar Cups and Ball book as a PDF now. There is one in the Tarbell PDF as well. The thing with the cups and balls is really making it your own. Most material will have pretty much the same generic routine and a study of moves, even moves not used in generic routine. Then you...

    Here's a new gambling demonstration:

    Not bad. Couple of things. First shuffle the camera is burning you hands hard. Should have been pulled back. Also if you are going to start with a "new" deck why not start with a new deck. Have it opened by a spectator, show new deck order. Then get into the stack by shuffle like Mnemonica which...

    Another great thing about doing it this way is if you have enough original stuff you can submit a one man parade to the Linking Ring.

    Ditching the TT

    This is a simple crowd control issue. After the switch flash flash both hands empty. Show front and back quickly while still keeping the tt hidden. If someone goes to get grabby just step back and ask how they would like it if you start grabbing them. Or stop showing effects during school hours...

    The History of Magic as a Form of Entertainment

    If you were thinking about copy pasta a wiki page then you have no direction for the work. So... You are asking the wrong questions. You need your thesis statement for the essay. Once you have that then you will know where to go with the paper. You can't cover the entire history of magic in one...

    The History of Magic as a Form of Entertainment

    Not to be rude but it feels like you are asking us to do your home work. i have been out of high school for 16 years now and I can still smell when someone is trying to get me to do their paper for them.
