    levitation device?

    You're right, the Voodoo Doll isn't a "Levitation" and really don't belong in this thread. What William has been trying to avoid stating is simply this, look into a system known as PK Power (Chuck Leech). I know E sells the basic kit for doing this sort of work I forget their price however...

    Could A Female Magician Get On AGT

    AMEN! We loved George back in the day . . . he and Cindy Lauper were huge! The "Karma Chameleon" idea however is something that's been around for thousands of years,Ashely. Before the ladder climbing ladies of yore we had the fathers who, in biblical times and still, in certain parts of the...

    Could A Female Magician Get On AGT

    Sadly, they go "further" for the wrong reasons. There's a well known Vegas female performer that simply stinks. . . she flashes practically everything though she's literally been coached by some of the top skilled people out there. Her "success" comes by pandering to dirty old men that want to...

    Any PC Wizards Around Here?

    I've not used IE for close to a decade if not longer for other reasons and I have been using Malwarebyte for the past few years with great success. I will look into the other two you mention here but the download suggested by Formula fixed the problem fast and with a speed benefit as well...

    Any PC Wizards Around Here?

    Firefox . . . I've had to use IE with a few things but it's changed so much since I last used it, I don't know my way around.

    Any PC Wizards Around Here?

    For a couple of months now I've been having an on and off again issue that only effects a handful of sites; my own eMail, Hulu, Facebook, and E being most specific. In short, they do not display properly and my eMail won't let me write & send messages. I've spent hours deleting files and...

    Practical advice on job hunting

    I'm quite familiar with where you're located (I grew up in Springfield and my step-son lives in your area presently with his family). It's a tough nut to crack and our current economy isn't helping. Quite frankly I think you'd do better working a few restaurants at night for tips but start with...

    nylon invisible thread vs Kevlar Thread

    Now this is something we agree on. . . Mike, anytime you ask the same question over and over you end up cutting yourself off. There are two solutions however, given your concern; in the first instance you need to simply obtain more material on thread work. There are videos & books out there...

    I want to do my own street magic show on youtube.

    I'm not going to argue with Formula (who more than anyone, loves to pounce on me) and now you Wyatt. . . whoever you are. Some people do appreciate my in-put and they far outweigh the two or three (thus far) that give me grief about what I offer. The philosophy projected by you two is exactly...

    I want to do my own street magic show on youtube.

    I'm quite aware of this and have written extensively on what I call "Club House Kudos" -- you will see it on forums as well as in the various clubs, chums patting one another on the back for a job well done when in fact they stink and everyone knows it. I know that you prefer short cuts...

    The Masked Magician on Reddit

    This line inspired me to offer some perspective; Val "exposed" the Levitation by having a Fork Lift behind the curtain. . . my buddy Dean Hankey knew of this and deliberately had a full sized image of a Fork Lift made up on foamcore. . . when he needed the hoop the curtain paged open and...

    Any more Leprechauns out there?

    I'm 3rd Generation removed from the Ilse with lots of other stuff mixed in; Dutch, Cherokee & Shawnee, Irish & a touch of German. . . such a lot we are.

    I want to do my own street magic show on youtube.

    Understood and more so, I understand why this is "practical" for you and your goal. You've answered my primary question. It's now up to you to contemplate what I shared previously, so you can design this footage in order to optimize how those people will see you. I say this because others...

    I want to do my own street magic show on youtube.

    You know, I've had many individuals share their two-cents, just as you have, when it comes to my mini-lectures but more than not, I have had three and four times as many people thank me for making such detailed posts because it helps them on their projects. . . I write to the forum, not just the...

    PK touch(physicokinetic touch)

    Goatears is correct when it comes to the most basic version of the effect though the subjects needn't be seated. As I said, there are many variants to how this effect is created, one of the more clever is Colin McCleods which has not been published. Too, Ted Karmilovich has a very cool...

    The Masked Magician on Reddit

    It may interest you all to know a few facts about Val and the SUCCESS of the Masked Mage, including the fact that he's in serious negotiations right now to return to the Vegas strip as the famed Masked Magician, exposure and all. I've known Val for over 30 years and he's a super nice guy. The...

    I want to do my own street magic show on youtube.

    QUESTION ONE: Why? QUESTION TWO: What Are You Calling "A Show"? I've noticed that many in today's world refer to the act of presenting a single trick (at times) as a "show" when nothing could be further from the truth. Doing a Youtube type spot again, is not "a show" in the majority of...
