That is why R. Paul Wilson said at the start of the Royal Road video to read the book then come to the video.

They do sell a temp pass that is a tad bit cheaper than the $500 for the year but it is still over $100 the last I checked. Ask at the local ring/assembly to see if there are any members who could guest you in for the Sunday thing. Also check their website for the dress code which was updated...

I get that T11 is working towards the younger magicians who have grown up on micro transactions in video games and app stores. I understand you are making money with the $10 impulse buy, but I have books from the 1930's that I can still read but i have CD's from the 1990's that have started to...

This is why magicians need mentors. You read the books, follow the photos or illustrations then ask the mentor or the guys in the ring/assembly for help. We don't need more books turned into DVDs. But if you want to spend $100 for a DVD set to match a $10 book then more power to you.

Look at it this way. There will be those who only learn from videos who will see you do something from Close up Card Magic, The Complete Walton, Tarbell or Slight of Hand and you will complete fool them. You will blow their mind with the effect because it's nout out there on video or on youtube.

Maybe they could do a take on the Linking Ring's One Man Parade for the T11 members.

I'm a working pro and I love my books. I do have videos but 99% of them came with an effect. I can tell you all of the working pros I know are at least 95% books.

You need to pay an ASCAP and BMI fee for music you use in a commercial setting that is covered by those two groups. That is about 99.99% of music. There are some artist who put their music out as royalty free and creative commons. Use to be you could be covered by the licence of the venue, but...

And for the love of Dai Vernon. If you plan on using a gaff deck leave how to cleaning switch decks.

I second the let the lazy watch videos. IT leave the good stuff in books for those willing to take some time. Like I know magicians who have spent good money on the effect where to make paper butterflies come to life. I know which book that was published in back in 1884. I even own a copy of...

glad to see it offered in PDF and ebook format after last weeks formatting issues.

If they read the first post with the rule where it gives a time and date they can tell it's closed. Maybe if they made a video with the info in it people would watch it since reading seems to be too much for them

i'm a simple magician. I like red bikes red bees and red tally ho. I do 99% of my work with bikes because I know I can get them anywhere in a pinch.

sorry i thought you were nay saying books. I'm a collector as well at it's peek it was 1200 magazines from the 30's to the 60's over 300 books and about 150 lecture notes. lost a ton in a flood. right now the girlfriend has set a limit of 40 physical books.

rubber cement was a fluke. I was making cards got some on the face and pulled off the ink

Look up Houston Magic and the HAOM. It has a list of Ring and Assembly meetings as well as where the local guys are working in town.

Yes really. BTW, Our magic isn't even out yet. So we don't know what it will be like as a finished product. You look at the top guys making the DVDs and they don't talk about the DVDs they own, it's the books they own. You get more value from the books when it comes effects per dollar. There are...

I must be old school because when it comes to learning it is 95% books 5% everything else. I love books. I love the value in books. I love that I can take a book with me where ever I go. With a DVD you spend like $40 get four or five effects. For the same $40 you can get a couple of books and...

One lesson I learned from a guy at Ohio State in an improve group is this. People who come to those shows always ask for the same five or six things over and over again. They pretty much know where they are going each night.

Better yet, I'll tell you the last time I had nothing for a situation. It was Halloween 1999 and I was 20 years old. I was working a private party at a club. I did the comedy rope through body where a bra comes through with the ropes. Some people laughed but the guy on stage was beet red. I...
