Why the attitude? It seems to me that the people who are saying "he isn't a bad guy" are the people who've been saying that all along.

I've never bashed Criss. In fact, I've defended him when people did bash him. Now, let me be clear, I am not a big fan, honestly. I haven't seen many eps of "Mindfreak". I just don't see the reason to out-and-out hate him so much. And as I said, anyone who stands up to Callahan and...

I also completely agree with this. Especially with number two. I think what's-his-name had it coming to him. Angel stood up to both him and Uri. Good for him!

I'm thinking of getting this as well. I think Alvo's stuff is great. He does odd mentalism such as Post Mentalism and Poetry Reading which works out well for me. :) I trust his stuff.

I think there's a point being missed here. Think of the way Penn & Teller perform: They engange the audience and invite them to think. They let the audience in on the secert, in short, they treat their audience as their equal. They take the conventional tricks, e.g. cups and balls, putting...

Hi everyone. I'd like to review the new trick by Bro Gilbert, the man who worked with Paul Harris on "True Astonishment". The name of it is "Deep 3". --The Effect: There are several ways of doing "Deep 3" but the main effect is to fan through a deck of cards, showing two...

I have this trick but I'm still working on it. Without giving away the secret, I keep "hurting the queen". (Those of you who have the trick will understand). That's what I do. I practice the handling and wing the performance myself. It depends on my audience and what kind of feeling I...

Good luck, Steerpike. Can't wait to see you come back.

I got mine last month from Penguin Magic, http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=853 but I see they're all out now. Sorry. :-( I can tell you it's ingenious how it works, but it takes some practice to get the move just right. In fact, I am still practicing with it. I do believe that...

Actually, another reason why I use the 1.5 inch sponges is because I do a card trick with it. I have the spectator pick a card, have them put it back in the deck, I shuffle the cards, telling them that I love this trick because it's easy to find their card because (and I say this as I put the...

I actually owned the 2 inch ones first, but they don't quite fit my hands, so I bought the 1.5 inch ones. .....I guess I should start practicing with them huh?

I just started learning this. I figured that training with this would help aid me with slights and misdirection better. However, I've found that the 1.5 inch balls are better for my hands. I also bought a dvd on it, but it doesn't seem nearly as good as the one suggested above. The one I...

I'm sorry to say, I only recognized five of them off the bat. Lee Strasberg Robert Greene Richard Webster Count Saint-Germain Grigori Rasputin Out of the other five, two seem familiar (Joseph Campbell & Zhuge Liang) but I can't check them because I can't really describe...

You know, if I may go off the list but stay in T11 tricks, I'd suggest Witness. It's a great trick and a nice beginner's trick. Out of that list though, BeLieVe - great teaching, excellent trick and variations, but a little advanced. Control - another great, simple little trick, but it...

Oh hell...... Sorry 'bout that. Oh well, no matter where you watch it - either here or on TED, it's worth the watch. :-) Also, TED is a great website.

There has been a few postings on this forum lately from the website called TED.com. This is a great site filled with talks from exceptional people and ideas ranging from scientific to entertaining. I recommend everyone bookmark this site and once in a while, catch a talk or two. Anyway, I...

Started out with straight hypnosis only. Stage and walk around during the party. Now I've added some stage and walk around mentalism and walk around card tricks.

Glad you're okay, but do go to a doc. (not a chiropractic....a doctor....) because you might have hurt yourself and not know it yet. But...... You got lucky. There's no such thing as miracles. There's such a thing as random chance operating in your favor. No offense meant, but...

I think I'm unique in this case. I do adult-themed shows only, so my audience is eighteen years old and older only. (Actually I don't think I've performed for anyone under 25 years old) at parties ranging from four to sixty people. It is limiting, though. Because of the nature of my...

There's a mentalism effect where I predict the sum of five six-digit numbers. All I really need is a pen and a piece of paper, both ungimmicked. In fact, I use that as a standby and an out.
