    Red Hot Mamma with Guardians + C.A.A.N.

    I'm looking for something a little more natural. The bleaching idea might work though; I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

    Red Hot Mamma with Guardians + C.A.A.N.

    Two things I'm pitching out: 1. I really love the Guardian cards. I've been using them for a while now. Recently I decided to put an old favorite back into my repertoire, Red Hot Mamma, but I'm not sure how possible it is with the Guardians since they only come in one color--black--and...

    Prophet : Tom Isaacson // "Snap, and they would change..."

    Nothing screams "corny" and "gimmicked" like taking out your own bills and changing them to some phony million dollar bills. I absolutely love the way Prophet looks, but there's no way I'm buying it because, on a teacher's salary, I don't have $500 to take out of the bank and put into an...

    Wow, I'm going to sound stupid...

    And why would not checking a magic forum for a few days make you sound stupid? I haven't been around either and don't even know what song you're talking about and I have no shame about it. I'd feel kind of ridiculous if I did though.

    Dan Harlan arrested

    I think some of you guys take life a little too seriously. This story is hilarious. He grabbed a register and smashed it in the parking lot, ran from the cops and got caught because his pants fell down and then told the cops not to rob him. That's gold. I'm sure Dan will look back and laugh...

    $4.04 More for Guardians

    I think the best part isn't that they want $4.04 more for Guardians but that they want $19.99 for some Ellusionist dogtags. Now that's funny stuff.

    Why do you prefer cards or coins?

    I do card and coin magic, but personally I prefer neither. They're too cliche'. The magic I really get into is magic done with rings, paper money, glasses, rubberbands, leaves, etc..

    Blaine Postpones Stunt Until Late Summer

    The record held by Weston is not official. The official record is held by Tony Wright I believe, which is the one Blaine will be attempting to beat.

    Blaine Postpones Stunt Until Late Summer

    http://www.pr-inside.com/blaine-postpones-his-most-demanding-stunt-r424758.htm Illusionist David Blaine has postponed his bid to stay awake for 13 days, because it's his most physically demanding stunt yet. The 34-year-old is training and dieting obsessively to prepare his body for the...

    New To Magic!

    Let's just say Criss Angel's building levitation and walking on water aren't effects you're going to be able to perform for a live audience any time soon. If you believe they aren't camera tricks that leaves you with the conclusion that they are are extremely expensive grand illusions that are...

    Favorite Effect?

    Man, this is tough. I love all the material I perform. I'll try to narrow it down though. Right now (because it's my newest effect) it's Kolossal Killer by Kenton Knepper 2/10, Close-up Overall though, I'd say it's Ring Thing by Garrett Thomas and Floating Ring by Yigal Mesika. I perform my...

    New To Magic!

    Welcome to the forums. Right off the bat you probably aren't going to know what kind of magic you want to do. So do what so many have recommended before: expose yourself to as many different types of magic as you can. Play around with some card effects, mentalism, coins, etc.. Sooner or later...

    Are there any magic books on CD?

    Put your contacts in and look again. It's $13.

    The guy who did not believe in magic

    He should have been sold on your magic abilities right there. ;)

    Would you buy theory11 music?

    I'd consider buying the music as a download depending on the price.

    Are there any magic books on CD?

    "Wonder Words" by Kenton Knepper (which I highly recommend) is about the only audio book in magic I can think of. I'm pretty sure you'll never come across anything like Banachek or Derren Brown on audio. There just isn't a big enough audience to make it worth the time or money to produce. You're...

    Can I buy this?

    This is the classic coin in bottle Roth teaches. Same one I perform at bars all the time. Ask someone to finish off their beer and hand it to you, ask someone for a quarter, and it's instantly in the glass bottle. Still the best coin in bottle by far in my opinion. You can learn it on THIS DVD.

    Magic is gone for me

    HAHA! Right on target.

    Would you be interested in a theory11 book?

    I don't see how anyone could straight up say "yes or "no." It all depends on what the book has in it. Not many people buy books just because they're books.
