    Please...Have A Purpose.

    I think purpose can take an effect to a new level, however it would be helpful for you to clarify what you mean by purpose. It's too easy for people to just say "the purpose is to entertain" (or some other general statement). However I assume that you mean something more-care to elaborate...

    App For Magicians

    Great idea. It would be cool to have a database of my effects (that I could tap for a description, time(or length of effect) and could have tags associated with them like openers, closers, fire, cards etc) then a show/routine builder where I can select from those to insert them. A place for...

    Saturday Night Contest - Sound Effects!

    Ha ha, my first one took three hours to make the effect, edit a sound clip and work on timing. The second one was quick because timing was less important to convey the feeling of creepiness.

    Saturday Night Contest - Sound Effects!

    Sometimes youtube adds a few seconds to uploaded videos. Not sure why, but I've noticed that on a few (not all) of my videos. Perhaps it rounds up on the millisecond.

    Elastic shell for a shot glass

    Go to a craft store and buy some liquid latex. Then paint up a shot glass to create your elastic shell. Or perhaps buy a mould kit and make a nice shell

    Making a Magic Kit

    I would pick 3-5 things. And keep in mind the target age for the tricks. My daughter cannot do the Hot Rod to save her life (age six). Even crazy cube she has trouble with (mostly the presentation. But she would rock the zig zag pencil, coil and ring, or a ball and vase. If you are targeting 10...

    Help me with combining fire with illusions

    Also each venue you use will have different rules and policy for using fire. You will need proper documentation and insurance coverage for every venue you use. A headache, but worth it if you get it all sorted!

    How to keep magic magical a while longer?

    I would echo Brett. Tenyo is wonderful. I just bought my (6 year old) daughter this last Christmas. you can also just grab an inexpensive magic kit and help her work on a few things from it. It doesn't need to be too elaborate at this age. But I have to say, I love how you got into magic! This...

    Human Blockhead Question(S.)

    Everyone is built differently. If you have a deviated septum at all, you can really hurt yourself. For me it only works on one side. It should not hurt! If it's hurting, then I would try something else until you can get 1 on 1 help from a professional, or just don't add it to your repertoire. If...

    Do people still like card tricks?

    Ya, people love card magic. However, there is something organic when you are using natural props or mind reading. It can catch people off guard and make it more surprising.

    Where can i get cardistry trainers?

    I may be crazy here, but wouldn't a $3 deck and a glue stick be enough to make a trainer deck in under 10 minutes?

    Break

    heh, I understand where you're coming from., but I can't think of a time I handed a coin to a spectator to look a the date or sign it, and they tried to bend it first. I would have so many jokes if someone tried that it would be hilarious.

    Saturday Night Contest : What You Think

    First, I'm loving the new TXI logo in the videos! Second, with the release of SubRosa and in the spirit of keeping it a guarded secret, how about a fake reveal contest?
