The sequences in which I appear (along with about four other magicians) were all shot in the course of one night. We all would literally busk our own crowed, and then take turns performing one effect each for the group before dismissing them. So in essence, the same group would see a set of...

If you have the will power to stand on your own two feet, the tenacity to take what is yours even if it is out of the hands of another magician, the will power to not back down when everyone else around you is sure of your failure, and the pure burning desire to succeed no mater what the...

True Story: March this past year I was invited to my friends wedding in Florida (I live in California) as his best man. The bride to be asked me if I would entertain the wedding party after the ceremony as a favor to her. Since I didn't want to check my props as luggage, I took them as...

Masters of Illusion: 5 appearences 4 have aired 1 to come. 1 movie appearance (all be it deleted scene) Good Time Charlie productions: Charlie Wilsons War with Tom Hanks. Do you want to blindly attack any more of credentials? Drop the attitude with me sir, unlike the bulk of what posts here...

Does it even matter what Blaine does? Or any other magician for that point? Is it really affecting your act that badly that you've got to hold such strong opinions? Seriously, how many TV specials have you done in this past year? How about the past 5 years? If that's the angle Blaine...

You want to be a magician then you really should be asking yourself these questions and answering them as well instead of asking everyone else here to do it for you. Not to sound rude but the only way you'll learn is to do it yourself. try visiting your local magic store for books and...

Don't ask for others opinions unless you are certain you can handle what they say. A lesson Mr. Henderson of this forum I'm sure would agree with. Blaine probably did hold his breath. However I'll bet he was also put on pure O2 for a good period of time prior to the stunt. Is that...

Meh. Word count

Given your signiture I'll assume you've not been in magic too long. It is very true. Everyghing comes down to the presentation, not the trick.

You're such a fan boy. That couldn't be said any more serious nor any more friendly.

Yes the warning is real. There are some effects that are very dangerous if not deadly if they are done wrong. I don't advise learning Geek magic from a book or DVD. It is something that should be taught by a professional one on one.

probably. It wasn't a bean though, it was a popcorn kernel. Was the dude wearing a Black top hat, silver skull on it?

sorry, then I read the post wrong

No his information is wrong. Masters of Illusion doesn't reveal any secrets. The show that follows it does. "Magics Greatest Secrets Revealed" with the Masked Magician.

I know this isn't how you intended it but I don't think it's a good idea for anyone under the age of 18 to solicit meetings with people they don't know anywhere on the internet. I know this is a magic forum, and we're all legit (I hope) but this is a very dangerous thing to be doing and I...

I suppose you could always pay to take lessons from some one and see what develops from there but from what I've seen mentorship is more about a relationship between student and master than it is the information that is passed on and taught (not to say that said information isn't important) I...

I've been performing this effect now with great success for about a year. It really is a show stopper!

You don't get to be "all knowing" without making a **** load of big mistakes in the process. What is important is that you learn from those mistakes, and continue to learn throughout your life. Never be satisfied with where you are, always seek to be better than yourself. Also to a lesser...

that's probably the case. I remember a good amount of positive reaction after the stunned silence wore off, but Ive not seen the footage yet. I'm sure it was probably edited down.

I'm going to ignore your implying that I performed that effect "wrong", as I am very proud of my handeling of that particular effect.
