    strong magic, designing miracles

    I personally buy from trickshopmagic.com when I can. Sam Blankenship has always treated me very well as a customer and he's gone out of his way whenever I've had a problem. He's running the show over there and he's always come across as a real stand-up guy. He seems to have a really good name in...

    Good tricks to do on girls...

    Personally I've always found that mentalism seems to resonate more with women, and visual magic seems to resonate more with men. That's just been my personal experience. I find women seem to really be fascinated with the idea of a man that can read their thoughts though. Peeks, center tears...

    The Wire is Theory 11's version of Chinese Democracy. :D

    NYMP presents 4Q by Magick Balay

    I love bill switches and I love the mis-made routine. I use it all the time. I always hate pre-folding a bill though, so I usually don't, but this handling looks smooth. And no pre-folding necessary? My pre-order is already in. Looks like it's going to be a solid release. Also, good...

    Mismade Bill Changes Into Four Quarters

    Buy uncut sheets from the treasury and cut your own mis-made bills and give them away. It actually works out to be pretty cheap.

    CPR Change by Lloyd Barnes // Reviewers Wanted

    I don't see a trailer on your website. Just a big blank area on the left of the screen where a video might supposed to be. Good luck with your release though.

    Getting started in restaurant/walk around magic.

    I totally disagree. Offering to work one night for free is one of the best ways to land a job. Almost all restaurant magicians recommend offering a one night free trial. It's pretty common, and I believe it's a good strategy for getting yourself hired.

    Visa by Daniel Garcia

    I'm surprised anyone was disappointed with Symphony. To me Timeline 2.0 was worth it. I perform it all the time now and probably will for the rest of my life. One of the best impromptu card effects I've come across in a long time. Spectators love it and go nuts over it, and it's fun to perform...

    iTricks - Your favorite release this year?

    http://itricks.com/news/2009/12/first-cuts-for-the-itricks-trick-of-the-year-tournament-is-tomorrow-whos-in-danger/ Seems like a lot of people are saying True Astonishments was their favorite release of the year, but oddly enough it's now in the bottom five in the iTricks tournament. Yes...

    Control Being Sold At Ellusionist

    I think you should spend more time worrying about the magic you're learning and performing and less about the politics of companies you don't work for, or what kids fumbling through effects on YouTube are doing. Good Luck & Happy Magic

    Visa by Daniel Garcia

    I have a buddy who performs Visa and he gets really good reactions with it. He never performs it as if he's performing though. He just does it on the offbeat and let's a spectator notice what's happening. He doesn't call attention to it himself. I believe DG makes a similar suggestion on the DVD.

    Coin in bottles?

    Sounds like you're looking for an impromptu way to pick up a bottle and a coin and put the coin in the bottle and hand it to the spectator to keep. As far as I know, nothing like this exists as of now. If it does, nobody's sharing. My favorite CiB is the one using a folding coin. Looks totally...

    Great book. Get it. You won't be disappointed.

    iTricks - Your favorite release this year?

    If True Astonishments doesn't win the iTricks contest I'm calling conspiracy. Symphony was my favorite T11 release though. I've been performing Timeline 2.0 every time I do cards. It kills every time. Anyone know anything on when the DGP 4-6 are being released? Last I heard was DG was...

    New Control DVD: Directors Cut

    The DVD is mis-titled. Wayne self produced the first Control DVD, so he certainly had final cut privilege. So the first Control DVD IS the Director's Cut. This new one is an extended edition, not a director's cut. Anyhow, thanks for the heads up on this. :)

    The blister card revelations. Branded or Third Degree Burn

    Branded is always in my pocket. My favorite of the blister effects put out.

    Is magic art?

    "Is magic art?" Straight up answer? As a whole? No. Now... Darwin Ortiz has some good stuff on this subject in his last book. For one, he very accurately states that magicians spend too much time running around worrying about whether what they are doing is art or not. More so than any other...
