I just wanted to emphasize Steerpike's comment here in that I too am sick and tired of seeing posts that read, I have a corporate gig next week and need some ideas for what to do (or similar). If you don't have the actual product or know for fact that you are in the position to deliver it...

That was very cool!

I believe Michael's pattern is still on the market along with several others that are quite cool . . . if I recall correctly it was Ger Copper that had one that loads up high on the inside but allows you to retrieve again either low, kind of like a cloth Billiard Ball holder or by simply...

I'm quite surprised how much has been shared thus far but since most all methods but one have been noted I'll toss in the more obvious that's not been mentioned -- a TOP IT. You can do a search on this in that there are many different types -- patterns -- but we are talking about a device that...

Ya know, there's this thing called Google that would answer this question for you. . . http://www.dreamlandmagic.com/ http://www.themagicemporium.net/ http://www.daytonamagic.com/

It's an interesting wet-dream for certain. . . based primarily on those still living and at that, he's reaching back in time a bit, to guys like Scarnes, Vernon and Marlo. In other words, it's in-congruent and seriously missing some important (less recognizable) names when it comes to key...

Give a magician a Nail Writer and he'll find out how to use it in a card trick; give a mentalist a Nail Writer and he'll start a religion. . . become seen as a fisher of man by most, a charlatan by a few but his accountant will assure you, he's not going hungry.

Keo. . . you're f.o.s. I've seen some excellent posts come from you. Line work is not that unheard of; I've done it at carnivals, street fairs, for comedy clubs and (wait for it) Haunted Attractions. Others from the Bizarre Magick community work such attractions regularly. In fact, the six...

My PC is down but I'll be getting back to you soon

Scripting is very important but creating "misdirection" is likewise a very important tool. I'm not talking about misdirection in the basic sense but rather the intricacies of using body language and most important, timing -- if you can create a psychological disconnect by spacing certain...

It's essentially been around for centuries. . . in the 80s we called it a Fanny Pack. . . it's usually a leather pouch that has holders for various effects and special loads. Once you learn how to work with it (as most of the more traditional buskers have done "forever") you will have more than...

DO NOT GET CRUSH! It is a blatant rip-off -- a Jr. High School Level Science Experiment that was allowed to be marketed, same goes with SPIN. . . the people that put these on the market should be ashamed. Smoke is nice but I would use it in tandem with the E version. . . not that either...

I probably should have asked, "Just How Big a Drawing?" There are several large scaled Illusions that employ "art" as a theme.

Oops! I forgot to ask. . . In my original reply to you I left a ton of links, have you looked at them? At least 3 take you to FREE material.

"NOTHING" would be an excellent lesson for a novice, it will teach you how to better think like the Old School Mentalists who believed the best Magic Shops on the planet were Office Supply stores. BUT, I really encourage you to avoid "easy fixes" for the moment and learn how to work with the...

Welcome to the world of the surreal. Enough of the Kindness Part, time for me to roar. . . (you'll get used to it, it's what I do) If you haven't read Corinda's 13 Steps to Mentalism and Annemann's Practical Mental Magic you need to stop where you're at and back up. Mentalism isn't like...

I'd start with a trip to Steve Axtell's site and look at his Drawing Board effects (especially this one). Kevin James' Bowl-a-Rama (you'll need to scroll down the page to find it) is another great piece but check with Stevens Magic, they once offered a similar effect involving fruit but it...

Hey buddy, email me with your email address. . .not certain I have it (probably do but can't find it) pcraigbrowning@earthlink.net

There's a HUGE difference between a surgeon & a magician, if you haven't noticed. As I believe I said earlier, IF a person has won a ton of awards and accolades because of their dexterity and control THEN there is realistic & valid reason for taking such a dramatic step, 99.5% of us will NEVER...

Dang it, William! Stop exposing Angel's favorite method of making anything happen! All joking aside, there has to be over a dozen BASIC methods for accomplishing this bit of business, all the OP needs to do is get off the couch and pick up a handful of books and from there READ! Study the...
