This story was actually told to me 4 years ago by my Moral Education teacher. It always brought a smile to my face and gave me some great inspiration. Mitchell

A professor at a university gave hour long lectures every day without breaks. Each day he'd have a small paper in front of him that he'd glance down at ever so often. It was intriguing to the students in his class that he could fit hour long lectures onto that small little piece of paper. Every...

I currently use an old 8mm ghetto filming machine because my DV broke, I'm going to buy a Sony HVR-V1U later in the year. Mitchell

I just might have to go next summer :). Mitchell

None... if people had real magic it would be a normal routine for the entire world. I like what I'm doing now because only a portion of the world can do what I do, and people truly get amazed each time I do it. I also like the feeling I get when I'm performing a sleight or a move, I like the...

I think the magic was that she lost all that weight. Mitchell

For a verbal contract to become effective, I believe there must be at least two witnesses to be present. Not sure though. Mitchell

A magician who is able to connect on an emotional level with the spectators is a true magician. You have to be able to strike emotion in your spectator to truly be a magician. It's not the trick, it's the connection between a performer and a total stranger. It's not easy to truly connect with a...

At home I use Movie Maker because I don't have a job... but at College we use Adobe Premiere. Mitchell

But what if someone spends years and years practicing this ONE move but doesn't get it to that point where it's invisible... shouldn't they move on to better their magic? Rather than simply try and perfect that ONE move which can be achieved with simple misdirection? Mitchell

From what I know it is a collection of 52 cards that will allow for intense amazement to be brought upon the spectators. Careful of exploding heads. Mitchell

I gave my opinion, I personally do not believe that the pass should be a move to dwell on until utter perfection. That's my opinion, and I stand by it, but if you are doing a routine that involves your spectators completely burning your hands until they catch fire, then sure, get it down...

Could you attach a spoiler warning for those who want to find them on their own? Mitchell

The pass isn't a move meant to be fast, it is meant to be a utility move done under misdirection unless you are using it in a gambling routine. My pass is alright, it's not top notch, but I get away with it because I always use misdirection in magic. Misdirection, a magician's best friend...

Once again is all comes back down to performance and presentation. Sure we can levitate, but can we make it truly magical? That is what is really important. Now with the passing of some of the classic magicians, it is time for us younger magicians to step it up and become the new generation of...

I think the magicians of today are simply making magic to be just a series of tricks, when it could be SO much more. Yes, it might look good, but can you make the spectator's actually FEEL the magic? I think magicians are simply focusing too much on their selves when magic is really about the...

I would like to start off by saying that Andrew Mayne is a truly original magician, his work has always intrigued me. Pencil Through Cheek---> The magician takes a pencil, and stabs it through his/her cheek. When it is removed, there is no wound. This trick is so simple, so simple that anyone...

What's normal? ----------------------------------- When performing, there is a big difference between what's normal to YOU, and what's normal to your SPECTATOR. There's a fine line between doing a simple overhand shuffle, and doing some ridiculous six packet cut. What will be going through...

If you are planning to sell the video, then you must have them sign an agreement. Mitchell

Technically, you should have them sign a release if it is going to be released to the public in any form. The debated issue is that the tape is your property, that means that you can choose what you want to do with it. I think at the very least you should at least ask them (your spectators)...
