Yes, I got it when I ordered my refills.

"All that stuff?" I have a deck of cards, a wallet, and the Quantum Bender in my pocket. That's it. The Lit gimmick I sometimes carry is the size of a matchbook and the Water Trap gimmick I sometimes bring to bars is the size of a quarter. Not a lot at all.

I went through a phase where I didn't want to use any gimmicks, but now I do a bit of both. I'm still not too fond of gimmicks, but I have a couple I always carry now. Mainly Quantum Bender 2, Loops, and some Twilight Angels cards. And my wallet is a Real Man's Wallet and has Extreme Burn and...

The ones you get will last you quite a while. You ccan use the same ones over and over. You should be ok for a bit. You might want to order some white matchbooks though.

Thanks for all the info on this, guys. I was on the fence on this one and I finally made up my mind and decided to go for it.

You can still do it with both Pepsi and Coke. I tested this out about a month ago. It takes a bit more of a push, and it makes it easier if you get the angle just right, but it still works nonetheless, just not quite as smoothe as it used to, unfortunately.

That was the most boring and pretentious drivel I've ever seen. Seem like your professor is setting you up for failure with this assignment.

The best card to wallet: The Real Man's Wallet http://www.trickshopmagic.com/realmansw.html I love this. Happy Magic

A bit too vague on making your point then, although it is a good one with which I agree. Happy Magic

I've always liked the classic Hoy Book Test. Totally impromptu. Richard Osterlind has a nice handling and has put some nice touches on it. You can see his performance here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jIwMKwIptk

In all fairness, there is more going on in the second scenario that has nothing to do with magical gestures. Performance, of course, is always important. But whether you choose to specifically use a magical gesture or not is a focused issue. Not using magical gestures when you perform does not...

Hey Amanda, Although I am not female, I find people generally have a preconception of what a magician is. If you say you're a magician they automatically go to the cliche' of what a magician i s (corny jokes, top hat, rabbits, kid shows, etc.). So I generally don't tell anyone I'm a magician...

Good article. A few lessons to be learned from this. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/andrewpierce/5252212/I-hate-to-admit-it-but-David-Blaine-really-does-do-magic.html

I normally don't use magical gestures. As others have already addressed, they often come across cheesy or demeaning. I have my spec snap to make the card come to the top for my ACR, and every now and then I'll slowly use my hand to cast a shadow over something, but generally I just don't use them.

Awesome DVD. Still the best coin in bottle is the classic one with the f****ing quarter. I do this in bars all the time with a borrowed coin and beer bottle. Always plays strong.

Richard Osterlind has a Russian Roulette routine on his "No Camera Tricks" DVD set.

...as well as a live show by some "@$$h0l3 douche bag."

...they haven't released an episode in like 2 years.

Yeah, Dodd always does a great interview. For those who aren't frequently listeners, definitely check out The Magic Newswire. Great, long interviews with lots of top magicians including: David Blaine, Daniel Garcia, Michael Ammar, Joshua Jay, Bro Gilbert, Mac King, Lance Burton, Keith Barry...
