I've always wanted to create a short magic act done to music, but never got to it until a few days ago. This is my first attempt at constructing this type of act, which obviously still needs a HUGE improvement. One of the things I definitely need to work on is timing my act to the end of the...

This is my attempt at recreating one of David Copperfield's greatest illusion, walking through the Great Wall of China, using an effect by Jamie D. Grant called 'Industrial Revelation'. As John Guastaferro once said, "A one degree change in your presentation can make a huge difference". Please...

I recently got this effect in the mail and I absolutely love it! It is so easy to do and when the spectator sees the paperclip bends all the way, their jaws just dropped!!!! I LOVE MAGIC!!!!!! There is hope in this world :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4P_d0ZSnjw

Everytime I watch any of the X-Men videos, I am inspired to be more creative and make my magic more powerful. With that said, does anyone know a magic effect that makes it look like you have real superpowers? In other words, if you have real powers, what would you do? With that said, I think...

Now that I've been doing strolling magic for about 2 years, this effect have allowed me to approach a group at a table with confident. There are 8 magical moments taking place in only a minute, which makes this effect perfect to establish yourself as a serious performer. Please enjoy :)...

Do you guys think Andrei Jikh looks like Daniel Radcliffe? I asked this because I was watching his cardistry videos in my dorm room and my roommate (who is not a magician) asked me why Daniel Radcliffe is playing with cards haha.

This is my favorite magic trick so far in 2014. Definitely going to be adding this to my repertoire! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAU5glBp2ZA

This is the haunted deck routine that I've created. The original concept was inspired by Jamie Daws; however, I changed the handling so the cards can be mixed right after the selection replacement and also added an extra kicker at the end. So far, this is my favorite way of performing the...

Hi Everyone, So I was asked by the principal of my school to perform magic for 5 minutes on stage as part of a benefit concert. I have a few effects that I would like to perform but I would like some of your opinions as what you think will get the best reactions/most impressive. This will be...

Why is magic an art and what does magic mean to you?

Hi everyone! Here is me performing the haunted doll to a bunch of friends from my high school and they ABSOLUTELY FREAKED OUT!!! This effect was originally called the okito voodoo doll (the version I'm using) but was recently released again by a magician named Rogue (with the same method). I am...

For those of you who perform busking or any types of event where you have a table and need to bring people to your table to see some magic, how do you go about accomplishing this task? Shouting "Magic show here, free magic, come on over!!!" might be successful but is there a better way? Thank...

I asked this question on this week's SNC "Demonstration of the Mind" but no one reply so I thought I would ask it here. Does it have to be a new upload? In this week's SNC, no one stated that it has to be a new upload so can we just assume that it can be either or? Thank you in advance.

Hi Everyone, For those of you who perform this effect, do you ever have a spectator noticed that the cards that you took out at the end is not the same card they stopped on? I mean it's very obvious if you think about it. When they stopped on a point in the deck, the card that you pull out at...

I usually don't do a lot of mentalism but I've recently put together a mentalism routine that has a very impossible ending. I've been performing this routine LIVE for the past week with great reactions. Would love to hear all of your thoughts since I'm planning on using this routine as a closer...

What is a great close up magic effect for couples that leaves them with a lasting souvenir? I know anniversary waltz is one of them but do you know any others?

Pinky count is definitely one of my favorite sleights when I am performing card magic. I've been practicing this move for many years and I am proud to say that I've finally perfected it. Unfortunately, a lot of magicians that I see perform this move doesn't take time into really perfecting the...

Hi Everyone, I have been performing close up magic for 8 years and stage magic for 2 years. I would like to perform a piece of magic done to music on stage but I need help on where to start looking for the right materials. I know that I need to choose my own music because we have different...

Hi Everyone, This is me performing Mathieu Bich's wonderful effect to a group of friends and this effect is definitely the highlight of the night. I promise you that all of you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE their reactions! Looking forward to any of your feedback...

This is my variation of Michael Finney's fabulous rope routine called "Lady's Rope Routine". His routine is obviously not for everyone due to one part of the routine where he stands behind the lady. I've decided to alter the routine a little bit in order to fit my style. I think you will like...
