I got Daniel Madison Vol. 1 today. I love it. The best part is, most of the tricks aren't very hard to do. It's starts with an improved version of a common trick. I think it's called Mindreader on the How to do Street Magic DVD. But the classic version of this trick has a really poor ending...

I think you would have to do what Justin Miller called the no pocket version. But you could also change the routine. Take the moves you like best. There is a lot of cool moves explained. For me, there were two of the easy moves I really liked. One is like a french drop, only I think it is...

ok thanks, I hadn't come across those yet. I think Jeff McBRide is the guy who teaches the hot shot reveal on the Extreme Beginners DVDs.

Right now I'm working with the Extreme Beginners DVDs. My favorites moves are the ones in the special moves section of chapter two. My most favorite is the one I think they call it "hot shot." It's a reveal where the card shoots out of the deck spinning and lands in your other hand. I've seen...

Apparantly the gaff card for gypsy burn was removed from the tiger deck so it could have two advertisement cards instead of just one.

I got the shapeshifter DVD. The move is awesome. I think it is easier than a classic color change. I can do it better than the classic color change, and I have been practicing that move for weeks. DeSouva shows you six moves (color changes, double lifts and steals). However he moves extremely...

I recently got warp one, Which is a no cover card, back and forth version of the trick. The DVD also has a simple way to force the card and restore the ripped card. So you make the spectator think the randomly picked the card, you warp it back and forth with no cover card. Then rip in half, let...

I liked Vol. 3, but my criticism would be that it felt like half the DVD was all about Haunted Deck, which we all already know anyway. The first trick was using haunted deck with a waving aces style card trick. But essential it was just a basic haunted deck. Then two more slight variations...

If you can do the haunted deck and you can walk around your moving small objects, I don't think you will find vol. 1 useful.

I just bought all three used. I had been considering ordering these for a while, but I was a little turned off because they didn't offer them as a set any more. On ellusionist website it says $50 for all three, but then says the set is discontinued. Vol 2 with Daniel Garcia is awesome. He has...

I got a 25 pack of Generic imitation Loops from Legendary Egos Ebay store for $15 postage paid. It looks like the guy normally sells these for $1 a piece, but has a special right now of 25 for $15. They are black and come on yellow cardboard just like the Yigal Loops. However, I think the guy...

Any brand will work, I'm practicing with chapstick, as I use mass quantities of it and buy it in bulk at Costco.

How do I delete a post?

Staples sells 2 packs of the high grade bicycles (1 red and 1 blue) for like $3.50 each. I don't know why you'd want to go cheaper than that. If you just want cheapo cards, you can get cheapo cards for like $1 a pack at all kinds of places like Family Dollar, Dollar General, ect.

I tried forcing it with a Pepsi can and it leaves marks on the can that would be noticeable if the spectator examined it. What sucks about Coke, is they actually made it wider. So now the quarter falls back out pretty easily. Before the quarter just barely fit into Pepsi or Coke and then...

I finally found a place that sells the brand name Loops in "bulk." I had been scouring the net for something like this when I first got my 5 pack. I live in Charleston, SC and I've checked the listing for all the main cities and can't find any actually magic stores. There is a mail order...

Well, the ones I bought on ebay are just to give me a bunch to practice with while I watch the DVDs. I do hope to be able to tie my own. That is my goal. So far I have bought one pack of the Yigal ones. I love them, but yeah they break pretty fast. I have one left right now. I have have...

I just got all three Guerrilla Guides to Loops on ebay pretty cheap. I'm trying to figure out what to do about the loops. I was thinking of getting the Infinity System. However about one week ago when I was researching this stuff they were selling the infinity loop $50 postage paid. Now it is...

Today I bought a pack of Diet Coke and trick works totally fine.

I'm very satisfied with my purchases from ellusionist. Plus isn't Wayne Houchin the founder of theory11? Ellusionist puts out a lot of his DVDs A lot of people on this forum boast that they don't like Criss Angel. I guess it is just because he is popular and makes a handsome living. It's fun to...
