    Hidden fees in iPredict

    Hmm. Still I think Mark brings up a valid concern for our magicians over seas in foreign markets.

    BLISTER - Has anyone heard or seen this effect?

    Having had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Hansen in great details about Blister recently I can say this is indeed a neat little worker. It's not going to be a magician fooler in the slightest, but the concept is quite neat, and in my opinion would make a nice closer to an established...

    Rhino Change

    The first thing that I thought when I saw this move was "Jeff McBride's Window Change". And rightfully so. This move is inspired by it. After talking with Mr. Hansen at great length I think he's got an interesting move here, that is visual, and will work well from stage, to close up. I think...

    Why Do We Sign Things?

    I've recently had the privilege of reading one of Dee Christopher's (one of our Mods here) work called Belief. It's a PDF download on the subject of mentalism and contains some interesting essays on the subject of mind reading. While this isn't a review of the material, that will come in time...

    Those darn catchy previews!

    To play devils advocate though: Some effects are great stand alone ideas, but really are nothing more than just a puzzle or trick unless dressed up within the context of a good routine, or paired up against other magical effects or sleights. While nothing in particular comes to mind right away...

    BLISTER - Has anyone heard or seen this effect?

    And angle sensitive as hell from the looks of the video.

    Rhino change!!

    I'm not 100% on the method but this looks very close to Jeff McBride's "Window Change" from volume 2 of his Card Manipulation DVD series.

    Blister - I think it is gimmicked

    I'm not sure what the card had to do with the coin, but it's blatantly obvious what is being done with the coin. I don't think it's a gimmick, just he's really good at catching things. It may be a hooked coin, but that would kind of hurt a bit. Then again I'm the one who drives nails into his...

    What To Do

    Hey Welcome to the forums! I'd recommend Marc Wilson's Course in Magic for you. Great book for anyone on any level. There's a lot of good magic in it. There are some DVD's that I'd recommend. Actually Royal Road has a 4 disk DVD set that's pretty good. Crash Course 2 from E's not bad...
