    Simple Hits Hard, but Complex Hits Deep

    So I'm reading (yes, reading) through AoA vol. 3 last night, looking at a some ridiculous packet tricks. These tricks are not easy or simple. They are complex, difficult to learn and, need to be performed in a very precise manner to look magical. This gets me thinking (yes, reading and...

    An Open Letter To JB - The Girl

    Based on the information presented, I infer that Jonathna Bayme does not have a girlfriend. Nobody actually lives in Milan. Milan doesn't actually exist. Just like Hawaii...

    The Expert at the Card Table

    The pocket size is nice to carry around, but the Kinko's one is nice if you actually like to be able to see what you read. Personally, I wish I had gotten this earlier. Would have helped my magic a lot more.

    The Expert at the Card Table

    Why? If D&D have a link to it, it's probably OK. Besides, it's pre-mickey mouse. No infringement issues... Besides, it the Erdnase official website.

    The Expert at the Card Table

    There's a link on the D&D wesite by their PDF's to the Erdnase site where you can buy the book and where there is a free PDF download. Bring it to Kinkos and pay 15 bucks or whatever to get it bound...

    Dealing with Mess-Ups : Getting Through It

    Let me just say: It is so important that when one practices he or she must strive for perfection. That said, no amount of practice can take the place of going out and actually performing live for people. Practicing in front of a mirror can't take the place, posting Youtube videos can't take...

    Favorite non-living magician?

    Houdin the man. Without him, magic as we know it wouldn't exist. I love the French!

    Dealing with Mess-Ups : Getting Through It

    A friend and I were doing a short stage show at my synagogue a while ago. We wanted to finish with a variation of David Copperfield's "Metamorphasis." The idea was that I would dissappear and then he would "transform" into me (if you know the effect, you know what I mean). We were the last...

    The Greatest Presentation of Triumph

    The beauty of it is that it is something believable that some drunk ass-hole would try to mess with any magic act. As long as you're not against having a stooge help you out, this is a great effect. I was first thinking I'd have my friend do the packet-flip, but I figured it would be more...

    The Greatest Presentation of Triumph

    I just did this tonight. I was at a party with my friends and I told this guy I practice with that I would be doing Triumph. I asked him to help me out a bit. So now, I'm with a large group of people and someone inevitably asks for a trick (I, of course, oblige). I do my favorite...
