    Mental vs Magic

    Yeah, I really do care about the art. I don't think a day goes by that I'm not looking at my scripts and effects trying to think of a better way to present them.

    Mental vs Magic

    There has been a bit of an uneasy rift between Mentalists and Magicians for a while. For example, look at Uri Geller and James Randi. Some Mentalist proclaim that they don't use tricks to do their effects. Some Magicians claim the same thing. Ethically, are we as entertainers obligated...

    If you haven't read it yet then you need to own a copy of Ken Webbers "Maximum Entertainment". It will change the way you look at performing.

    Please understand that this is constructive critism and I don't mean to belittle you or your performance in any way. I hope to if at anything make you stronger by this. After watching your video I have some thoughts for you. I'll start with patter. You say just before .18 in your video...

    I am starting to believe...

    You are absolutely right. Most people's exposure to magic is limited to "uncle Bob's coin trick" or what they see on TV. The minute you do something crazy for them however simple it is for us, (say ambitious) it can result in a life changing experience! I agree that it is a lot of power...

    The Humble Bic...

    I will third Re-Capped from wilson and I'll second the Psychokinetic Pen. Also I've seen a pen to Cigerette on youtube. I don't know how practical it would be but that may work for you. Also look into Exiled.

    What Are These Songs?

    I don't know the names of either piece, but the first one I think was used in McDonalds Aces when Copperfield performed it.

    Wow - Check out this trick

    I believe the effect is Deminishin Drinking Cups but I'm not 100% certain on the name. I know I've seen that effect in stores. It's a pretty standard parlor/ bar style effect and should be purchasable from any local magic retailer. You're probably looking at $20 for a cheap one and $65...

    Loops

    Loops? If you are going to use loops, I would go with Mesika's brand. I'm pretty sure those are the ones E sells. I buy mine from my local magic store. They hold up well and are fairly strong. Lighting and background can be a proble with them so make sure you check your light and...

    eXile Review - Reliable?

    My Review Okay folks, I wanted to toss my two cents into this mix. I purhcased Exiled three days ago and have had the weekend to work with it. First off let me say that the potential for creating an incredable moment with magic in this effect is worth the price of the DVD. However, there...
