Angel is so over with. I think it's time everyone moved on to a better act. Perhaps someone that actually can do magic. Not this tired hack trying to be all "hard core." With that being said I will give props to Criss for one thing. He is a master entertainer. He knows how to build a tip...

I think one or two people knew he was speaking about a card mechanic. I have to side with who ever said it is harder to become magician. Magic is 80% performance 20% technique. If you aren't an entertainer then you wont be a good magician. Technical skills can always be taught and...

Finding "original" magic is like trying to find a virgin in a brothal. All plots have been explored by now and most of the material out there is just a re-packaged version of someone else's rutine. Nice try though. Don't be such a spoil sport! It takes all of what... 2 seconds to vote...

I wouldn't go as far to say that people are looking down on anyone here... yet. But there is a clear line being drawn between the two choices in their performance style and presentation.

The hell man? This can't be a serious question.

This sounds good. What am I looking for as far as title for this origional method? Publisher? anything that would make tracking it down easier.

I would highly recomend using: http://www.themagicapple.com/ The site may not be as impressive as penguin or ellusionist, BUT the customer service from Brent and Mike are amazing! The Magic Apple is the pro-shop of choice for Magic Castle members and other southern California magic...

That's pretty cool actually. I never thought of that. I think I'll have to resurect my OTW.

I perform stigmatta and it's okay. Disjointed sounds interesting... Thread I've been doing for a year or so now. Except I pull from my stomach, not my eye. ...And no. I don't run gaffs. The effect is actually called "Belly Ribbons", and it's my current closer. Killer effect...

Looks like I've got some christmas money to spend on new magic tricks. ^_^ always a good thing. My current act focuses on strange and unusal magic, mentalism, and other macabre effects. Is there anything exciting out there that I should look for to add to my act that would be spooky...

Well Dai Vernon always said if you can't hide it... paint it red. Maybe that is what you need to do here? Remove the wire and claim you have amazing psychokenetic powers. Do a blind force on someone. Meaning they don't know the card they selected, they just hold onto it. Execute the...

Okay so this isn't something then that you can just suddenly decide to do to someone on the street if you were in the mood to entertain. I'm pretty sure I've got this thing figured out but then again I've been wrong before in the past. If I AM right, then I could probably go raid my wife's...

I just saw this video on youtube of an effect called "Tattoo Joe". The effect break down is as simple and straitforward of a plot as you can get. Image, or word, anything you want appears written on your arm as you rub it. Then vanishes. Does anyone have any experience working with...

Yep! Wiregrams. Thats what I was thinking of. Much thanks. I think the idea is ingenious.... but it just needs work. I agree. I just have to find an angle to get around the fact that I'm incorperating an almost obviously gimmicked item into an effect.

Does any one know what this effect is called and have any experience or thoughts of/ on it? Effect: a fllimsy piece of wire is displayed a card selected, and fire applied to the wire. The wire instantly bends into the chosen card

Kids are visual...so anything visual works well, plays well. Kids also love comedy... so combine the two effects and you got a show. Torn and restored news papper. hippy hop rabbits Passe passe bottles Flash Paper Production of X Vanishing Coke/Ketchup bottle strait jacket/chain escape...

And for that reason alone Praetoritevong is why this thread can not be allowed to exist. I'm surprised it has made it this far.

With all due respect, a post that tates "I use magic to teach people about x belief" is boarderline asking for a firey debate, but a practical novelization of your personal theological beliefs is just begging for a fight. Two topics never fair well in mixed company. Religion and Politics...

step 1: Boil water. step 2: Place cards in said bowl of boiled water step 3: Remove cards and carefully seperate the front from back step 4: Lay the cards out on a paper towl to dry. You can use a hair blow dryer if you're short for time. step 5: Trace aroud a playing card...

I'm not going to challenge the book. I'm sure there is written copy out there that presents this effect as simple as that, and in a way it is. However there is an understated need for hygenic preporations, especially when performing effects that puts forign items into your body. As I...
