    Can you buy Freon?

    I'm thinking of some cool effects where I might use freon to freeze stuff. Can you buy spray cans of it or anything? Is there a practical way to apply it? Ideally, I'd love to spray a spectator's signed dollar and then shatter it... I've got a great name for the effect, too. Get this...

    What hasn't been done?

    I've been thinking along the same lines in terms of producing more organic magic. Get that trick, Paul Harris's "Leaf" and "Ladybug," and you've got yourself a hippie routine!

    What hasn't been done?

    Thank you. No, really, I mean that. That is a spectacular idea. Thank you, Chris Kenner. I will start doing that. If I can come up with enough ideas, certainly one of them should eventually make it to illusiondom.

    Bullet: Review + Question And Answering

    Right, but if I wanted to perform it completely naked, could I? Basically, I want to know how impromptu it is. I'm not a huge fan of buying stuff that is almost impromptu. I just feel cleaner when it's impromptu. Unless it witness. That, I'm going to buy. So can this be done in my...

    Bullet: Review + Question And Answering

    Am I right to assume that I could walk up to any spectator completely nekkid, (suspend your disbelief, please) borrow one bottle, one coin, and do the trick and be left clean? In other words, is it similar to Infusion as in its on-the-spot effectiveness? Is it that type of impromptu...

    What hasn't been done?

    Or something where the magician visibly puts a cigerette in his mouth, chews, and blows fire (or maybe just smoke). Or a silent, concealed air-powered device for PK effects with non-metals, or shadow-touches in which the spectator feels something but is not being touched. Break a pen and...

    What hasn't been done?

    I am actually trying to do a trick where a borrowed coin is visually snapped in half, as in, the spectator can see the seam appear right before his eyes, as the coin splits into two halves that are then immediately handed out for inspection. The handling sucks, though, and it is in no way...

    Hmmm... Deck made of flash paper? Kand of risky. Doubt the FAA would like it much...

    What hasn't been done?

    We've all seen coins in bottles before. We all know how to change a card. Prettymuch any shmo on the street can pull a bill switch. It's child's play to levitate more than four inches... So what hasn't been done yet? I haven't seen a coin snapped in half. I haven't seen a spontaneous...

    Real Secrets of Magic Vol. 1

    I'm thinking of getting it. How's the teaching? Are the tricks practical? Are they good effects? How many of you perform them on a regular basis? Does it discuss routines and setup? I'm going to be getting AoA 2 & 3 and something else. I'm looking to add some new material into my...

    Criss Angel used UltraSmoke 2000!

    OMG! Goodness, goodness! He used ULTRASMOKE! The very same ultrasmoke that's available to red-blooded magician just like us, too! Oh happy day! I think he may have scratched his butt also. Let's make a post about that, too.

    Give Me Lecture Notes, s'il vous plait.

    Maybe it's just me, but I personally would love to be able to have available at this site the lecture notes from the artists who have them for purchase. Especially Kenner.

    What happened to the circle of trust?

    I'm not saying we don't trust one-another, I'm just saying I don't see it to the degree I would expect. I feel as if we're going against one-another's trust.
