    Expose needs a refresh ?!

    I'd love to see some more content in those too! I love the marketplace features! It's challenging to make something new and keep up with it.

    Here's the picture, (https://goo.gl/photos/qWDf9taJ8FEqz11n6) but to really appreciate it, it needs to be seen in action: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJqli_nh7Dq/

    Is the Bycicle Eco deck durable and overall worth it?

    I found them to have a smoother finish than standard bikes. They were just as durable too. But at the end of the day, just another deck of bikes. Not worth the shipping, but they were available in Canada (they used to be available at Walmart and Zellers), so there may be some stores selling them...

    Hi... from a confused layman...

    Yes you can absolutely send me a message if you like. Lots of great points here, and there are a ton of possibilities for what took place. Hopefully you will be free from that stress.

    People Who "Kill" The Magic

    On a side note, I threw up a quick video of what I was talking about with the 'thumb trick'. The point of it being that even an obvious effect can be made more deceptive with some presentation tweaks. This past week I saw a magician do a 'cutting a woman in half' (Wakeling). The magician...

    Hi... from a confused layman...

    There is no such thing as "real magic" like Harry Potter does, and what you describe would be very achievable to most somewhat studied magicians. So to answer your question, it was not something supernatural. Like has already been mentioned above. In the future, I predict that you will be much...

    Magic Souvenir for sponsors

    I did a small run of coffee mugs that were black and changed color when the cup got hot. The mugs had my logo and website on it.

    People Who "Kill" The Magic

    A bit of both. Sometimes we play with an idea, show it to a few people and decide if it's actually deceptive. Often it's our skill level, or performance and patter choices that make it deceptive. Sometimes, it's just a good or bad trick. At one point in my favorite card routine, there is a...

    Aberdeen Thread Patter Suggestions

    Life can seem chaotic, unfair, challenging, or difficult, yet our perspective matters. It's those very challenges that wholly make us who we are. Once we can see that each of those events have shaped us, we can see how they actually don't break us, but weave together to form the tapestry of our...

    App for magicians (Magic Manager)

    That's an interesting idea. If there was say, 5-10 public domain simple magic tricks preloaded, Then people could see how it works, what it should look like, and filling it up might not be so daunting. The tricks need to be public domain, not just exposed on youtube.

    App for magicians (Magic Manager)

    Just downloaded. I notice that hierarchy is spelled wrong in the tutorial slides., just fyi ;) Also noticed (Nexus 6p): -Search feature doesn't seem to work, nothing happens. (I would love for it to search all the text, rather than just titles and tags) - Is there a way to add a feature to...

    J. B. Bobo signature?

    It does look the same as the other signature. The first Bo, the top of the B is pointed, and the o looks like an a. The last bo in bobo look the same as well. The b's are done the same style and the o's finish the same direction. I'd wager that's legit.

    Annoying Spectators

    Heh I once did tossed out deck and one lady didn't sit. I asked what card she had seen and she named a card that wasn't even in the deck. So awkward because you can't exactly call them out for lying.... Now I always have a clear box in view on the side of the stage with a deck of cards...

    Is it too late to seriously get into magic?

    Whoah there. Careful with that chipotle talk. You might get JB fired up... (I didn't really start learning until I was 20-21)

    Gig Tips

    Ha ask all the questions! I'm more worried about the people who have it all figured out and don't want to learn anything! Tons of great advice here. Also, I know nothing about kids magic or marketing to that demographic. I only do corporate clientele and private parties. I'm a minimalist and...
