    Paul Harris Interview from Magic Geek

    I just stumbled across it and thought I'd share. Looks like it was posted bout two months ago. Some good questions addressed in the interview. Enjoy. :) Paul Harris Interview - Part 1 Paul Harris Interview - Part 2 This is also pretty amazing.

    "That's not Magic! Your just good with cards!"

    Good topic. Personally, I try to not use any flourishes and I try to keep my handling simple. I don't do anything fancy. I do see the benefit of it though, which is to set yourself apart from Uncle Joe doing card tricks, but I'd really rather make that distinction with my actual magic as...

    A Little Bit of Live Magic

    Hey, Ian. Not trying to be confrontational, but if you really want to improve you should take a look at your performance again with a more critical eye, because you definitely were no-selling the girl's humor. She was trying to interact with you, but instead of responding to what she said you...

    A Little Bit of Live Magic

    Forget about the moves--try to loosen up a bit, man. The girl at 1:12 was giving you all sorts of interaction and lines to build off and you ignored and no-sold everything she said. She was funny, cooperative, and totally into it too. "This one's wearing eyeliner. Why is that?" Awesome spectator.

    David Blaine - TEDMED 2009 Talk

    I love the Ted talks, and David's was great. Very cool to see the steps he went through in realizing his dream. Also, the mystery of that odd video on his site where he's having a tube shoved down his throat was finally solved.

    "Sick" magic tricks ... ?

    Titan's Finger is worth a look. Very cool effect.

    Where can i find the best version of the Needle Swallow?

    Confessions of a Needle Swallower (Steve Spill) is awesome. Best version I've come across. Extremely well taught. Very practical. Everything you want this effect to be it is.

    Thoughts On Chapter 1 by Asi Wind?

    I don't know Wind's ACAAN, but I know he does do a bit of memorized deck work, which is a method used in quite a few ACAAN effects. You may want to find out if Wind's uses a memorized deck if you don't know one already before you make your purchase. Hope that helps.

    David Blaine's new stunt

    There is no citation listed for where this stunt was supposedly reported. And seeing how Blaine tends to break news about what he's up to through his own website/FB/Twitter, I'd take this news with a grain of salt.

    David Blaine to perform for 72hrs for Haiti

    Lots of good clips up on this site and iTricks. Also, good interview and video up on Magic Newswire. Looks like Blaine & Red Cross are getting some good donations.

    David Blaine to perform for 72hrs for Haiti

    Awesome of Blaine. He's getting right out there and not wasting any time. He's one of the few celebrities I know of that consistently volunteers his time and puts in actual hard work for good causes. Hope people are generous with their tips as it's for a good cause. Wish I could make it. For...

    Name of an effect?

    It's Ring Flight (or Ring Flite), but I'm not sure what the name of the exact gimmick he's using is. There are quite a few different ones on the market. If you're looking for a ring flight and you don't necessarily want it to be that exact version, I can't recommend Ring Flight Revolution...

    David Blaine: Dive of Death - Magician Cameos

    Yeah, I didn't notice him there until like the third time I watched it. Funny what gets by you when you're not looking for it.

    David Blaine: Dive of Death - Magician Cameos

    I didn't see the John Stamos one, but I've seen the long shot of Doug McKenzie. These moved by really quick though. Thought it was kind of cool Blaine's consultants were hidden in there. Paul Harris also makes a background cameo in Blaine's first special when Blaine is performing the Raven coin...

    David Blaine: Dive of Death - Magician Cameos

    So I was watching Dive of Death on TiVo and during an interlude of some quick still shots I noticed some cameos from Doug McKenzie, David Williamson, and Dan White. Never noticed them before as the shots move pretty quickly, but just thought it was kind of cool and thought I'd share. :)

    Best Coins Across (In Your Opinion)

    Anyone who's ever seen it always agrees with me on this: Garrett Thomas's Imagination Coins is the best coins across routine ever. It's a coins across routine that is so much more than "look, another coin jumped from this hand to this hand." Beautiful routine.

    Cerca Trova Discussion - That Feeling of Wonder

    That was a good discussion and there were some really good stories in there. I'm curious though--what happened to the Cerca Trova discussions? It's been about 4 months since one was posted. What gives, Bayme?
