    Grip

    I have dry hands. I use an old Nash technique with Sortqwik. Also having a cold drink around is also helpful. The moisture on the outside of the container being can glass or what ever will help with dry hands and its inconspicuous. All you have to do is grab, drink and boom you have some...

    Boycotting Hank Lee

    I lost money with Hank. Things that was suppose to be in stock wasnt. Less that half my order was completed. I still have 70 dollars plus lost. I will never see it or my order and numerous emails and calls have been made. Honestly I have no sympathy for that company and their service.

    TheMagicCafe...

    I use the cafe for the Lets Make a Deal section. I have gotten some hard to find stuff there at good prices. There are some nice people on there but very few. I find myself reading the Not very Magical but Still section of the cafe. Less bull to deal with

    Sleights for small hands.

    I have to agree with Christopher on this one. Keep working at it. I know plenty of people with small hands palm, pass etc. I have seen kids as young as 10 years old perform such sleights. They had to make adjustments in the technique if accomedate their smaller hands. I remember seeing a...

    Yet another Oil and Water

    I think it looks great. I definatly like it and I like the idea of no gimmicks and extra cards As far as it being original I couldnt say. Oil and Water is one of those effects that has been done to death. I know Marlo has printed the Oil and Water routine in "The Cardician" 1953 and an...

    Strike Second question

    Sortqwik is a great product that could be helpful. Martin Nash used it a lot in his work. I like to use it if its on hand or I remember to bring it with me. When working its nice to have a cold beverage near by. The moisture on the glass or bottle will help. Lastly you could just go the...

    Which Annotated Erdnase?

    I would get both if your not on a budget or get both down the line for much of the same reasons Elliot did. The essays in the Ortiz verson is just wonderful plus goes into the moves as well with Ortiz's takes and tips. Vernon's version is fantastic too. First off the construction of the...

    Magic Stores in NYC area?

    I feel you Crimson. I mostly stick with Tannens. The selection is better and the staff knows its magic even though its not the Tannens of old from what I hear. Fantasma is a bit more than Tannens. Im sorry you have had that exp there. When I went there 2 years ago it was a friendly place...

    Magic Stores in NYC area?

    Rogue Magic Shop on Queens BLVD is an ok place. The place was ok. Its more for kids than anything. Think about the magic shop in Pee Wee's Big Adventure and you have Rogue. They have cards, magic books and DVDs but a lot of joke material also. Ronjo Magic shop is a good magic shop out in...

    Breather Crimps

    I think its more of a psychological thing for me actually but for some reason Jason I miss my breathers. Prob im not putting in the work properly or strong enough. I just prefer Infinity. Mostly because I could put in the work during my routine in front of everyone. With the breather I have...

    Breather Crimps

    I never like the breather for some reason. I use Martin Nash's Infinity. I never miss with it and the work could be put in during your routine.

    Need help from people in New York!

    In the City they could run you anywhere from 2.50- 3 dollars. In Brooklyn you could find them for about 2.25- 2.75 if you shop around. Places like bodegas, small stores etc Tannens Bikes goes for 3.25. Im not sure what Fantasma goes for but I have noticed everything is a bit more at Fantasma...
