Welcome to the forums! I'm a fan of Bobo's Modern coin magic myself. A great resource to work through.

You can sell pdf books here in the marketplace. If I remember correctly, a member sold his pdf book shortly after launch. But only digital content. I'll send you a pm Michael .

Thanks for sharing! I've always picked up tricks as a kid and in university I attended a university staff party and there was a deck sitting on the table. I started showing people some of the tricks I had accumulated and was so surprised how much they enjoyed them. They talked about them for...

Excellent job!

That's actually very close to how I respond. I usually say something like, "No, but keep talking like that and she might make YOU disappear!" Then I laugh which makes it passive-aggressive and that usually gets a good laugh from the table.

This is a great question. It’s great because I think many people ask it for all different reasons! These are my general thoughts on the topic. With regards to this question, the most important answer is ‘work’. This is important for a number of reasons, but mostly because it is important to...

Ugh, this one is the worst. I feel so bad for the wife when some foolish guy says this.

If you are interested in learning about magic in general, I would suggest hitting up a public library and reading some books on it. There are lots of great books, and many even contain some secrets too ;)

Over the past couple of years I've been developing my show to be about choices. All the effects are about choosing in some way and the results of those choices. My goal is to then develop a talk that can be given (to a corporate audience) about how to make strong choices at work and at home...

There's always coin through a card. I heard that there was pretty visual, deceptive, and easy to do method on the wire..... can't remember the name.... :p

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The sleight was from Bobo's. There was some awesome magic again this week!

Thank you. That's nice of you to say

Nice entries everyone! I figured I'd try the robbery theme given the NYSM 2 inspiration. 2 tips on robbing a vault:

Oh extended time on this contest. I should be able to get something done in time!

With regards to sponge balls, I only work adult and corporate shows, and when I do sponge balls I get some of the loudest reactions. Last year I had one lady who as soon as she opened her hands and saw two balls instead of one, she screamed, launch out of her chair and shove me with both hands...

My lifetime favorite card trick is Jokers Wild. My favorite non card trick is Stigmata. My favorite coin trick is a silly version of the heads and tails vanish in Bobo's. My favorite book test is Word in a Million. I have a lot of fun performing sponge balls, so that's why I do that. Currently...

If you are wondering if the monarchs will help you be a better card mechanic – not really. How the difference affects your handling is going to be negligible. However they do handle very nice out of the box, seem to hold up longer, and look fantastic. They are a novelty deck and worth it if you...

My favorite monarchs are the gold and the red ones. The Green has by far the nicest box.

If it's what I'm thinking, the method is quite old. I read it in a kids magic book from the library ages ago. A similar idea to the newspaper strip prediction. There is one printed idea in Karl Fulves book Self-Working Mental Magic (1979). He calls it the Want Ad Test. (p. 53)
