    Help - Another Magician at School

    I'd try just talking to him, i'm sure he will understand if he's any sort of friend. Now if he doesn't, just start talking weird stuff to him, like "I'm going to eat you." or "What color is the sky?" i'm sure it will at least throw him off enough for you to take his deck of cards hostage.

    Wal-Mart FTW

    First off brother, lemme just say congratulations! I think that is awesome that you landed such a gig. You are extremely blessed, because not just anybody can do this type of gig. In order for a manager to hire you, they have to go through corporate workers, and trust me that is hard to do...

    The world's first ever REAL vanish...

    Which site will this remarkable effect be released on? Also, will it be a limited release, or on the market for a good while?

    I'm a little pissed off...

    By the description of what happened, it does not sound like a typical heckler to me. It sounds like a potential bully. I've been out of high school for almost 10 years now, but I know what it's like to go through stupid crap like that. I am usually against violence, but from experience I can...

    Live Performance - Any Advice Appreciated

    I thought the video was incredible! Props to whoever was filming. Also, I really appreciate the fact that whenever the effect was over you still got their reaction on film. I admire the fact that when the effect was over, you just remained silent and let the reaction build. Great performance...

    Opener routine?

    I'm not sure, but I just wanted to say, that video was sick and delicious. Makes me want to start practicing cardistry as much as I do magic. You know even XB 1 and 2 have great ideas for openers, for example that clip in the video titled "A simple opener" can be found on XB 1. I hope...

    Michael Ammar watching Alex Elmsley

    Yep, the Tahoe Sessions: The Magic of Alex Elmsley is one of my favorite DVD sets! Michael Ammar does the introduction for each of the DVDs also.

    Art

    I thought I would put in my two cents here. Magic, I would most definitely consider an art-form. I direct the reader of this post to look at Eugene Burger's Shakespearean Thread (his handling of Gypsy Thread), or The Inquisition (his handling of Card Warp). He is just one example of...

    Sol, the ITRs that you showed provided links to are not really that good of quality. No offense, I just don't want you to regret what you buy. I had brought a twenty dollar reel one time and thought to myself, "Man I got a good deal!" The thing stopped working a month after a bought it and...

    The M5

    I've been performing and making up new effects with the M5 for about three years now. I'd highly recommend it. If your friend gets it, tell him to go all out and invest in the Pro Micro-5 kit. It's well worth the money. Once you understand how it works and what you can do with it, you'll...

    Which book?

    It wasn't in Tarbell, sorry. You say that there is an impression of the card in the little card of flash paper, a question; is the impression dark or white.

    Which book?

    That sounds interesting, I have not seen that trick before. I know in Tarbell they have a few effects that utilize flash paper. I get back to you on this in a few.

    Is the most direct way, the best?

    Awesome opinions guys! There are indeed many ways to look at the situation. What I have always respected about magic is the simple fact that when you learn a trick; that nothing is written in stone. Everything is customizable, if you don't like a move you can always change the move, or change...

    I am new to magic, where should I start.

    Hey there Skippy, have you given any thought as to what you wanted to start out with. In other words what appeals to you the most: cards, coins, mentalism, etc. You can do all of them eventually, but i'd start out with what appeals to you the most. I don't know what the book stores are like...

    Absurdist Theatre

    I thought it was very inspiring, I would very much like to read the playwright for that. I could not hear what was being said in that short play, but I have a loose interpretation based off what I saw. Was the artist's message behind the play, about the diversity of human beings and the way we...

    Is the most direct way, the best?

    I just wanted to know what you guys think. In your opinion, is it desirable for a trick to be direct in method but in turn lose some of it's impact. For instance, you learn an effect where the audience shuffles the pack and you produce the four aces. Good effect, however the method involves...
