    Chair Vanish (with twist)

    Actually, no. It is the magician's responsibility to eliminate potential methods. If someone sees me do a card trick, and decides it can be accomplished with a palm, a pass and a top change - I have failed EVEN IF the trick is not accomplished with a palm, a pass or a top change. And that is...

    Performers Should Be Less Boring

    Ben, While I would agree with you, in practice it won't work. Here's why: Magicians on the internet have been conditioned to believe that there is only one proper reaction to a magic performance - screaming, illiterate, homeless people shouting expletives and running away. The truth...

    TV

    If you bought and paid for the trick - and the trick did not disclose a television rights reserved restriction PRIOR to your purchase - then you are free to use it. Brad Henderson

    Chair Vanish (with twist)

    I'm confused. Do you have a tv series, or is this just something you are "play pretending?" I don't understand this "season"/"episode" thing. Would you explain it? Brad Henderson

    Teens on Masters of Illusions

    The reaction Zach got from the girl was real - not the dubbed over laughter which for some reason this show insists on using- but what you actually saw her do. That is the face of someone who has experienced magic. It's not this stupid, staged nonsense you have been brainwashed into believing by...

    What should a magician own that is not magic.

    A very nice suit. Table manners. Manicure kit. Books about topics other than magic. Brad Henderson

    HAOM Banquet?

    I see no information about the forthcoming banquet on either site. And what does one get for performing at the banquet? Are the hosting a contest? Brad Henderson

    How do you present/structure your mentalism?

    I think you have confused astonishment and disillusionment. Brad Henderson

    From Street to Parlor/Cabaret

    The reason there are more books listed is simply because none of this material is available on DVD - nor will it ever be. Good luck on your research. Brad

    From Street to Parlor/Cabaret

    First, Stan, Kate, and Edith is not an effect by Channing Pollock, it is by KERRY Pollock. Now that's out of the way: First, you don't need to use "magic props" to be a succesful parlour magician. If you ever saw Carney, Cervon, Vernon, White, Nelson, (the list goes on) you would see...

    Things are ok. Had a couple of shows over seas. Might be booking another one! Working on a handful of interesting projects. Sadly all the stuff being submitted for review is craptastic. What's new in your world?

    New DVD - AM/PM

    You might tell your friends they should reconsider the title. You can pm for details, but it shares the name with a release that many seem to have very negative feelings about.(More than poor quality) It would be unfair to the creators to have them guilty by association with a product they...

    Parker's New Manifestation (Not 'From Nothing')

    I think you may want to consider the definition of "practical." It has nothing to do with skill or the use of gimmicks. Brad Henderson

    What's wrong with my pressure fan?

    First, it is not horrible. Pop one of them out in front of a real person and they will be thrilled. So - good start. Here's the secret: The pressure fan is finished with the right fingers - not the right thumb. It's a weird thing to try to describe, but as you get to the end, the right thumb...

    Ultrasmoke 2000

    I bought one years ago when they were first released. It's fun to play with (just don't try it in an unventilated room!) I think I took it on one or two walk around gigs, but found that the inconvenience of wearing it outweighed the benefit. Let's face it, people often suspect your sleeves...

    East Meets West

    I think I know it. If it's what I think it is, I thought it looked fine when Sankey did it. I spent very little time with it and it looked so -so. It's a good idea, but one must get it to the point of appearing completely casual to really make it work. Brad Henderson

    Parker's New Manifestation (Not 'From Nothing')

    Has anything of Parker's received a positive review from anyone with more than 2 years experience in magic - and over the age of 20? Brad Henderson

    NULL by Jay Crowe. Pre release taster!

    Is this the same person who changed his name from j.p.? His card rise was given a very harsh review in the magazines, and his work is currently being ridiculed on the cafe. Is this the same guy? Brad henderson P.s. The use of the egg in the roulette effects is neither new nor is.
