So I'm looking at doing more weddings, and I would love any suggestions of effects that would play well for a stand up show at a wedding that you feel comfortable sharing. Preferably, the effect would use both the husband and wife in some way; and the effect would ideally minimize me and bring...

I’m very deeply sorry to hear about that. That can be very startling. I will lift up some prayers for you all today. In terms of impacting people with our magic; if this is pursued (beyond just getting smiles), this is the point where, magic truly becomes an art. If you choose to say something...

Ha ha, it probably was you actually. Before I got serious about it, I was at my wife's work party and saw a deck of cards and I did a bunch of really simple card tricks that I had learned as a kid. It was weeks after that party when I saw them and they all said how much they enjoyed it and...

Thanks Rick. I've never played with twisted sisters much because I could never do the elmsley well. A while back someone suggested it would be just as strong without having to prove that there are only four cards in each packet. You lose the 'one card turning over' effect, but it was still very...

Ha ha, that's excellent. Thanks for sharing!

Just got back from a cocktail party for a holdings company (they own a number of McDonnalds in the region). The event was at one of the more expensive hotels in the city, and when I got booked for the cocktail hour I looked online to see the type of room I would be performing in. I put...

Just FYI, I added a link for dresscode to my original post.

If it counts, I'd like to submit my pressure video form the last round. I was too late, so it never made it in for judging. But it has received some funny responses (the rudest of which I delete). http://bit.ly/T11Pressure Interestingly enough, I've got a bunch of subscribers to my channel...

A recent private party, I borrowed the clients ring, vanished it in a ball of flame, and announced "your ring is now on my shoelace!" (via Interlace). The response I heard was "No it's not." Turns out the ring got stuck so bad, I had to manually release it (trying not to expose). In a living...

Great idea. I would add that this is a great thing to do on a regular basis. This month, three of my shows are for charity. Two for inner city work, and one for a retirement home. Great idea to get people to share!

Double post.

Well, I can only speak from my own experience, and keep in mind everything varies so much from place to place. I worked at Moxies Classic Grill for 3 years. I worked from the same wage as the servers plus tips. (if I ever did it again, I would charge at least three times that). I worked...

You could pick a famous magician and talk about how they have affected the art/industry (Houdini, Vernon, Copperfield, Angel, Blaine etc) You could include the princess card trick ( I believe that's the name). It could work well for a power point presentation.

I'm still a fan of Wild Levitation. And no this is not worth the money when there are so many others out there.

That is so funny. Nice find.

I fixed the blog link, it should work now. Hope your curiosity is peaked...

Great post. If you want to be a professional, then you need to always be professional, not just when money is involved. This is how you build a good reputation as well as good character. Now if you were really hurt or offended by these two guys, you should speak to them one on one and...

Heh, playing with cards is like smoking for a magician.
