    Idea for an ambitious routine

    I really like your phase 3 idea. I would suggest making a reason to have the card put into the box. For instance although powerful in their hands, it may be stronger if you put it away because you didn't need it anymore and set the box on the table and stepped away from it a bit. Then have...

    Products I feel theory11 would benefit from having

    Think of Theory 11 like a boutique - providing an elite selection of items*. However I do like the idea of more gear, but one needs to be careful of the selection of items they carry, and needs to put thoughtful care into those things as opposed to just slapping logos on items. That's what...

    Birthday Party Gig Advice - I should have known

    Fantastic advice. A similar rule applies to corporate walk around. Starting a bit later than the time doors open is always better. And many client haven't done this and don't know that. It is part of offering good service to clients to let them know. :-) As usual, I appreciate your sharing.

    Should I Charge a friend?

    Indeed. Plus you need to know how to network properly and effectively for it to be worth it. However for my friends (and I would define that as people I spend my time with-not Facebook definition, or acquaintances) I would offer a free (or at cost) show. They are not out to take advantage of me...

    Should I Charge a friend?

    For a friend's family I would do a free show. For a friend's business I would give them a discount. I may do a modified show, use it as an opportunity to try new effects etc. If I can be a blessing to someone, I will. It's more important to me than making a buck. If I'm doing an event for them...

    Lamar Magic Clubs first attempt!

    Great vid. I think you will drum up some interest for sure. I didn't have much time to reply to the other thread, but the course might be good for new kids because the course starts off pretty basic. I was thinking a DVD might be pretty interesting too (Like penguin's beginner dvd). Watch just...

    Lamar High School Magic Club

    You could simply work through Tarbell's magic course together. It's like prewritten curriculum.

    Memorize a Deck of Cards with Superhuman Speed

    Hey all, I found this article while browsing around and naturally read it. Pretty straightforward memory techniques, but thought I'd share - especially for those not familiar with the technique as it applies to anything. Enjoy...

    What would you do with real magic?

    I think a bigger part of it is not fear but rather the enlightenment if society. However I think that may overshoot the intensions of the op. For me if I could really do something superheroesque, I would want to fly, teleport, psychokinesis, or create/manipulate fire. :)

    Entertainment through subterfuge - Problem?

    Lots of ideas in here already. I really enjoyed Steve Cohen's last podcast, and he talks about how for him he creates a fantasy, and invites people to suspend their disbelief in magic and enjoy the fantasy. I think this is a beautiful way to look at our craft. Much like writing a book and...

    Halloween Party Ideas?

    Keep in mind, the term Christian is a very wide spread one with many different beliefs under that umbrella. So while Craig is informed, you can't paint all with one stroke. But I Googled Halloween decorating ideas and there was some interesting stuff. Also I had one friend back in high school...
