    Coin Bend

    Unless that coin is signed, intelligent people will always come to the conclusion that "somehow" the coin was switched--no matter how clean your switching technique is. Quantum Bender 2.0 is the only way to go on this if a convincing coin bend is what you're after. Expensive? Yes. Worth it...

    Are you an atheist?

    ...except that there is way too much credible historical evidence against your premise.

    Are you an atheist?

    Nope. I believe there is a higher power and also that somewhere out there, in some form, there is real magic. I also disagree with the crux of the initial post on this thread "that skepticism and magic go hand in hand." The best magicians I've ever seen perform are the ones who believe...

    A force in the form of dealing cards?

    Tenkai Dealing Force. As clean as it gets.

    Who is your favorite magician/illusionist?

    Good picks, Justin. Tim Conover is excellent. The two that have always captured my imagination the most have been Copperfield and Blaine. Aside from those two, the next eight of my top ten (umm, how about twelve?) favorite performers (in no particular order) would be David Williamson, Derren...

    Dangerous by Daniel Madison - Worth it?

    Angle Zero and Bad Influence went straight into my repertoire. I get some use out of Roleplay every now and then too. Some great card magic.

    Typing in all caps does not add any clarity or weight to your message. It just makes it annoying to read.

    RESTLESS by Dan Hauss

    Finished watching all three volumes yesterday. There's some really good ideas on here. I like the majority of what Dan Hauss has put out though. Lit and Sleeping Queen are two of my favorite card effects, and Flow is just brilliant. Anyhow, Restless is great set with some really out of the...

    1-on-1 on Ellusionist

    An opportunity to learn more magic--this is awesome. Personally, I don't like any of the videos they're offering now, but hopefully--over time--they'll put up something I will be interested in. (Not sure why people who don't work for either company choose to get wrapped up in their...

    No Limits Developments!

    I have no idea what you're talking about, Justin. But whatever your cryptic situation is, hope it works out for you. Good luck with whatever it is that's going on.

    Pain

    It's a pin, not a nail. Really not a big deal. Unless you're a sissy. ;)

    Got crush! First look.

    What I want to know is if you can just borrow a bottle and go into the effect or if the bottle needs to be set-up in any way.

    David Blaine Trick - Help

    Nope. It was just on "Magic Man." Here's the entire "What Is Magic?" special--you can look through it yourself. Here is the ash effect in "Magic Man" at the 4:40 mark. And again here at the 6:38 mark. He didn't fold a billet and tear it on TV--you're right. Doesn't mean that isn't what he did...

    Best Magic Wallet?

    The Real Man's Wallet is the only way to go.

    David Blaine Trick - Help

    Unreleased effect based on Danny Garcia's Fraud. That was performed on his second special, "Magic Man." If you're interested in the effect check out Richard Osterlind's "Perfected Center Tear" from his DVD Mind Mysteries volume 1, as well as volume 7 for Osterlind's handling of "Ashes on the...
