Perfection. I admit it. I've been studying magic since I was a boy and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface yet. I've always sought to climb that mountain of magical knowledge and every time I look up at my goals they all seem so far ahead of me, out of my grasp. I seek to become...

When the adults tell you "You can be anything you want to be" that's only partially true. You can't simply be anything that you desire. It takes more than just desire to achieve something. It takes failure before you understand the path to success. It takes dedication, drive, sacrifice, and even...

You've all seen them at some point in time or another. The math-magical trick. The magician usually tells you to think of a number, then runs you through a sequence of adding, subtracting, multiplying, etc to come to an answer that they've already predicted. For example, we can try one...

Is anyone else going to Magic Live? If you're here let me know! I'd love to share a cup of coffee with you. Let's session.

Submitted for everyone's approval is the full video from the show MYTH I produced back in July. A couple of notes before the video begins. 1) Don't do this stuff at home. Some of it's dangerous. 2) Show is intended for mature audiences. 3) Grab some popcorn. It's a monster of a video...

On Saturday July 6, 2013 13 artists descended upon an unsuspecting crowd at Anime Expo's Live Programming 1 room for an event that would change a few people's opinion of the entire convention in a show that was unlike anything Anime Expo had ever experienced before. The show was called MYTH...

If you could meet any single person in the field of magical entertainment living or dead who would it be and why? For myself it would have to be David Copperfield. I'd simply like to shake his hand and tell him "Thank you". Because he was the one who inspired me to become a magician. I...

Here's a fun task... Reply to this thread with a link to a photo or video of you doing something magical. The next person to reply must state something they like about the previous person's post. They then in return post something them self, to which the game then continues on with each new...

I stole this topic from another forum, and frankly I think it's a good one. What are the "sins of magic?" They are the performance pho-pahs that we have that are either said or done that take away from the art. For example our first one is doing a "Cooking Show". Cooking Show: A...

Ever had a source of inspiration so profound that you absolutely wanted to put together a piece of magic to bring it to life? I know I have. For years I've been trying to find a simple, but powerful way to bring the story of "The Little Match Girl" to life in my close up show for the holidays...

1) Never Talk Down. Kids are smart. They're a hell of a lot smarter than many adults give them credit for. Don't talk down to or dumb down your message when talking with them. They'll not only sense that they are being patronized (even if they don't know how to correctly identify it) and...

1) Read more. It doesn't matter if you read a magazine once a month or a book a day, everyone can stand to read more. Magic Magazines, books, online essays, anything. Also don't focus on just subject matters pertaining to magic, but diversify! Read news articles, or journal entries. You...
