    Topit and Gecko :D

    A topit really needs to be built into the clothing item (rather than just pinned on or temporarily attached). The Ammar design is brilliant and far outweighs other topit designs. I built one into my hoodie back in University, just from my own concept. Worked okay. Since then I bought the Ammar...

    classic card color change problem

    If you are having trouble with the dryness of your hand, then you can try some 'Sortquik' from an office supply store, hand lotion, or just water. Apply it to the area of your palm that contacts the card.

    'Our Magic': Interpretation of 'Normal Art' & 'High Art'

    On the side note of performing in Hospitals, I have no clue what the hospitals are like in the US or in your area, but the University hospital here is also a Stollery children's hospital so the setup may be different. Here they have a floor of the hospital designated just to pediatrics. It's...

    'Our Magic': Interpretation of 'Normal Art' & 'High Art'

    Here are my thoughts (probably coming from an uninformed place and likely may miss the intentions of your questions). You are so ready. The hardest part is to begin, but you need to go NOW. Go to the hospital as a guest once or twice (it's much easier to get in). Then go through the process...

    What are your thoughts on card pouches?

    YeahYeah! There's a swap meet coming up. My annual dump of old magic drawer stuff. That should pay for the upcoming lecture in November!

    What are your thoughts on card pouches?

    I bought one cheap one and it actually scratched my box rather than keep it protected. I polished the ones I have and they work well now. I love the Vault look. I would love a Porper but can't prioritize that over other purchases on my ever growing list of magical desires.

    Sandwiches for Your Mom by: Tony Change

    Ha ha I love the editing (I know some wont), made it snappy and fun to watch. I haven't seen the trick before but I liked the way it looked. Your handling was nice too! Thanks for sharing

    What are your thoughts on card pouches?

    There was this: But it looks like a fanny pack- not very cool. I'm sure someone makes something that you could find with some Googling. have a few card clips that were just cheap. My goal with them isn't for keeping the cards flat, but to protect the box a bit.

    Four Ace trick

    I'm also reading Dear Mr Fantasy and it starts with some ace assembly effects that would work.

    Four Ace trick

    A simple riffle stack and poker deal can be really impressive from a spectator shuffled deck.

    The best 100% impromptu mentalism DVD?

    I'm not familiar with it entirely, but the DVD 'Nothing' by Max Maven comes to mind. I would look into that. Also it has been mentioned before (by David I think?) that there is a difference between 'impromptu' and 'improvisational', and both are worth your consideration as a performer. While...

    Revolution by Gregory Wilson

    Funny, I've been doing this at work just casually and people don't even really notice. I suppose they just think I'm good at it.

    Restaurant Magic Tips?

    I have 9 sets of three effects each that I use when performing. (I use the set per gig and mark down what I used for each one. Repeat business is easily handled because of this) In each set I have 1-2 card effects with the exception of 3 sets: two have no card effects, and one has all card...

    Spoil Sports

    This: http://www.powells.com/images/blog/blog_kirsten_rj1.jpg But in my experience, Bryant is correct. If you find someone who is trying to be Alpha it only makes you look bad when you try and one up them. The best advice is to wrap it up and move on to the next table. If others are really...
