I know, but I need a ring to practice the effect with.

I'm wanting to do Wayne Houchin's Ring and String Mystery. The Only ring I own right now is too tall to move around freely in a #1 coin envelope. By tall I mean the height of the ring if it was sitting on a table. I actually ordered the one ring I have off the net specifically for magic...

Penn has his own radio show? Didn't know that, but it makes sense. That dude loooooves to talk. I love the Criss Angel show. His remarks to Perez Hilton made me like him even more. Sinful with Criss Angel and Wayne Houchin was the first magic DVD I ever bought.

In downtown Charleston you have people known as "Geechies." Basically elderly black women who sell baskets on the sidewalk. They strew their crap everywhere and hustle tourists. You have to walk into the street to get around their crap because they will fill the entire sidewalk. I've often...

I think the whole issue is about whether someone complains about you. If your set up on a sidewalk somewhere and store owners calls the police and complains about you the cops are going to tell you to move along. If no one complains, usually no cop is going to say anything. Keep in mind that...

The original trick you linked to and the refill pack is exactly what I was interested in. The entire 9 DVD box set is a bit more than I would want to spend at once. I have to save up to get a new roof right now.

I've watched the Twilight Angels performance Wayne Houchin has on his website many times. I think it is from the Paul Harris Art of Astonishment DVD set. It looks like the coolest gaff trick. I would be reluctant to order a $30 gaff deck, where you only have one of each card. However, by...

I do it slow to make it look as fair as possible.

I have some ideas about using mentalism as a start up for some card tricks. Hopefully this post isn't considered exposure. I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but all the info is all from my own personal observation, not any book or video. When I do waving aces and french...

I had an interesting conservative with a guy over the weekend. I did some card tricks for him, which he acted really impressed. He told me he loves magic, but refuses to watch any magicians on tv. He said, "I want to be misdirected by the magician, not the video camera." People just want to...

Another good thing, is that by doing the tricks for so many people I started to learn how to recover from a failing trick as well. Fortunately most of the time, the trick would be a success, but each time I had a failure I started recovering better and better. I was most happy with the biddle...

Well, I have been working on card tricks and flourishes for about 2.5 months. I haven't performed the tricks to a whole lot of people until this weekend. In large part, because I'd practice a sleight over and over. Then do it in the mirror till it looks perfect. Then I'd I perform the trick for...

I bought an old lighter from a Las Vegas casino at a silent auction once. It was designed to look like a little pack of cards with an ace of spades on top. You push the ace of spades over and it would form a four card spread of the aces and the lighter on top would ignite. However, everyone...

That sounds catchy.

If your looking to turn this into a career, print lots of business cards. You can get nice cards made these days for a lot cheaper than you'd think. You can go to a local print shop and get the classic black and white cards for like $35 a 1,000. Or there is an online site that makes full color...

So there is good and bad. I figured it was worth $2.99 to have a deck. I'm surprised you say Target. I looked at my Target for cards a week ago and all they had was red decks and that was it. I'll let everyone in on a really great deal. Costco sells red and blue decks for $1.08 a pack! It...

How long have you been into magic? I started back when the first season of Mindfreak came out. Then I forgot about it for a few years. Then about three months ago, I really got into it big time.

I live in Summerville. Yeah, it's at the Northwoods Mall.

Well, I haven't opened the wrapper yet on these yet. However, I'm sure they have some value. I think compared to Shadow Masters And Guardians all other Bicycle Rider Backs I've tried don't fan as well. It's all relative. Magic isn't just about fanning though.

Based on what I found online the Tragic Royalty deck is supposed to be a childrens deck. I think it would be good for magic though!
