    Ah Twilight Angels would be great! I will check into Garrett's handling too. Thanks.

    Best Wedding Effect Ever

    Thanks again for that. I did pick this up, and am looking through to see how much of it can be used in front of two hundred people. I'm looking for more stand up magic as well as feedback on the fuse idea.

    Sorry to bump this, but I'd love some more feedback and ideas

    Order of performing magic

    Order in a set of tricks (that you would do at one table), should be structured in a way that is theatrically entertaining for your audience. Type of effects does not matter, as long as they can all be performed well and with good transitions. The order of your sets (going form table to...

    Flaming Business cards

    I agree that there are plenty, but none quite as memorable.

    A Little Mistake That Can Ruin Your Performance...

    Very true Luis. Even at this last cocktail party I did. I found I would do the second effect in my set and have to stop, because the reactions were so good. You can also use this to your advantage: This worked well for my twisted sisters set. I did the first two and they asked for more. I...

    Is the magic community shrinking?

    I doubt shrinking. Moreso just getting past getting all unnecessary hype. I suppose stuff like this goes in ebbs and waves.

    All Around Magician?

    I'm not sure that it would be terrible either way. Jason England probably doesn't do sponge balls, yet he's very successful. Whatever you choose to do, do it better than anyone else (Vernon has some quote that speak to this I believe ;) ) You don't want to be a "jack of all trades and master of...

    Best Wedding Effect Ever

    Thanks Randy. I'm curious how this effect would be more confusing or less simple than Doc's (which I have ordered)? What part seems complex? What is the best way to simplify it? I will have to play with Doc's effect to see if it can be adapted for a full audience from the stage. Anyone ever...

    Flaming Business cards

    I have Jim's Hot leads, and perhaps I have a less odorous lighter fluid, because I can't even smell it. That's a good thing to be aware of! In terms of cards, the best kind to use is matte finish. Glossy Cards do not work (some can sort of work, but not well - some glossy cards even bubble and...

    LIVE MAGIC - Stigmata!

    Great job!

    A Little Mistake That Can Ruin Your Performance...

    Ha ha, I've made that mistake lots! Great tip to keep in mind when building your sets.

    Christmas or Holiday Magic Tricks

    If I had to comment, (and I don't know your method), but it seems like you have something else in your hands. Work at making them a bit more open, and adding more convincers to help people not assume you have another item in your hands. Keep playing with it for sure.

    Simple Card Trick

    Nice job! When performing this, I wouldn't worry about signing the card. I liked the music.

    Christmas or Holiday Magic Tricks

    Nice idea. I believe Sankey was giving way a trick (Mute) that would accompany this nicely

    Best Wedding Effect Ever

    Okay, so after brainstorming some ideas for something that uses the couple, and can be done from the stage, and what I have on hand, I've come up with an idea, and I would love your input on ways to make it a strong piece of magic. Perhaps this can be an experiment in collaboration, and feel...

    Best Wedding Effect Ever

    I will definitely pick up Anniversary Waltz. It is a great effect.

    First actual paid gig.

    My entire show is 9 routines. That will do me a full hour. But assuming that your patter is not fully scripted, even if each of your tricks averaged 5 minutes, that would be 30 minutes total. It is best to record your practice and see how long each effect is now. Watch it back, write it all...

    First actual paid gig.

    Agreed. When people see you perform, and then offer to pay you to do another performance, that is a pretty good indicator that you're ready to put together a show. ;)

    Best Wedding Effect Ever

    For sure that is true. However, what I'm looking for is an effect that has a nice wedding presentation, or can be adapted as such. I want to make a great wedding effect & presentation. If I have time later, I will run some more of my ideas past you all for some feedback. (I love that loops/pk...
