Hey nice find. Thanks for sharing. Very nice coin work. That rubber band trick is on (although I'm sure in many other places too) Gregory Wilson's On the Spot DVD. Although I've never seen someone go back up. That was pretty cool. I enjoy his performance style.

...he says very humbly to a FISM winner.... ;)

Ah, nvm jtm

This is my favorite as well. Angles are nearly perfect and it's super easy and get's great reactions. - not to mention that the DVD is filled with so much amazing, practical, material and ideas. j

Shawn Farquhar hasn't released his method (which is a vast improvement on earlier methods). Cyril is performing Shawn's method without permission and against Shawn's wishes. Shane's version is a bit different, and looks very good. His may be the best available on the market. My finger is...

Quoted for truth ;)

Well, after being on the fence for awhile about this one, I took the plunge. So far (day two) I'm in the 45 second range. Long ways to go. Once I can get a consistent 15 seconds, I will test this one out. Great idea. Much better idea than it originally sounded on paper. justin

I quote this for truth, because the opposite is also true.

An area I feel that most magicians usually fail to pay much attention to are the transitions. Instead of barraging a spectator with a bunch of trick you know and that you think 'go together' well, actually creating a reason to move from one effect to the next. Magician's who don't practice...

Looks great so far. There are tons of opinions on routining for restaurants, so I would recommend you do some serious reading. I would suggest you head over to penguin's forums and search the restaurant forum for "paddy". Read the topics that come up. It's not just that Paddy has some great...

I was going to type, then read that you already typed what I was thinking.

Very true about performing for real people. In terms of misdirection on stage, it is very difficult to judge it's effectiveness because you don't know where each set of eyes are looking. You might fool most but not all. Verbal reaction and applause are all you can use to judge if it was...

Heh, there was a day when I would practice 2-3 hours every day. I've made some healthier boundaries since then. I have put together a new show for February. It will be my largest parlor show (400+ ppl) with adults and kids (Kids are a new element for me as I mainly do corporate). I have broken...

There are a few ashes to arm ideas that I think would work great for you.

These are fantastic thoughts, and a great discussion. Morgician, I notice that you are focusing on mostly impromptu stooges. I have also tried this with the exact same results predicted. I have never tried using stooges other than an impromptu one. But What are your thoughts on pre-show stooges...

Hey all, Just thought I'd mention that I saw a magician on TV tonight doing some 'street magic'. It was just a quick segment between shows. He did pretty good. He did Clutch, and he was using Guardians (the box was a walmart style box). Pretty cool to see T11's cards at work on TV. It was on...

There is truth in this. I just fly away. ;)

Not suer why you need to stop one, but ulti transpo doesn't make the cut for me.

Well said Mike.
