Pike's place magic shop is a Seattle landmark practically. Some great magicians have made temporary homes there as well. There used to be another magic shop on 1st street, but unfortunately it wasn't around for too long. It also had a really nice back room community which was a great place...

Paul Cummings is amazing. I met him in person at a convention in Seattle, and to see his side steal in person made me speachless. Well, granted, his hands are friggen enormous and could probably palm an elephant (well, baby elephant at least), its still pretty darn smooth. And to the person...

Fusilade (multiple selection) by Paul Cummings Mneumonica routine !!

Not a purchase, but, a magician friend. Becoming friends with T11 member Liquidsn (posted the raise rise video) has been the best thing ever for my magic. Since freshman year of college, he has taught me the most =) As for a purchase, I would have to say... a magician's mat and table top...

Others have said it already, but I would like to put it in my own words. I too am a Christian, but in my eyes, there is no relation between the two. There is no basis for saying they are two conflicting things. Magic in my opinion is extreme dexterity combined with the ability to act and...

Get Mnemonica !!! Memorized stacks FTW

My advice... stop buying gimmicks. Take some time, put in the effort and practice/polish up/perfect the essential slights. Learn your DLs, double undercuts, hindu shuffle control, maybe a force. Then, practice your patter, practice on your parents, do some good performances, learn from...

Yeah =) I have some other vids that he hasn't put on youtube =) Perks of being his friend IRL =)

The funny thing is... Liquidsn (the magician in the video in the Media section) didnt really practice for that long. I remember when he first got the video (we lived in the same dorm), he was able to do all the mechanics of it quite soon, but of course, probably took some time to polish it up...

If you are good with timing and if you know how to control your spectator, try the cut packet to table force... (not sure of its real name). I dont really consider a force description exposure. sooo : Keep your force card in the middle with a break. and explain "I am going to cut some...

Sounds like you have some nice stuff planned, bu just remember, kids react a lot different than adults. Kids' minds work a little differently and surprisingly pick up on things quite easily. For example, I cant tell you how many times a little kid has immediately recognized a DL when all the...

I live in Japan, but the only Japanese brand of cards that I know of are the Wizard's Inn cards, which can be found here : http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~youki/cart/goodsprev.cgi?gno=I001 I have a few packs but... they aren't that great. They are really stiff and and they dont fan at all...

Seriously??? This effect kills! It isn't meant to be huge part of a routine or anything, just something fun that you can do randomly that still gets amazing reacations. And it isn't too hard to set it up, and if you play with it a little, you can do some fun things with it. I won't go into...

Cyril Takayama - because he uses very simple ideas perfectly and makes simple effects into spectacular performances. He knows his audience well and knows what sells in Japan. He knows every little detail about the culture and how to exploit the biggest reaction from the crowd. He does the...

No offense... but wow! As an English teacher, I am appalled that someone would actually write something like this seriously yet unknowingly of the number of basic grammar mistakes. Not only that, but to then go on and say that "what classes teaches me IS NOT important to me." I can picture it...

No offense, but when you start a post by saying it is stupid to use a label like "beginner, intermediate, advanced," for a magician, you are opening a door to quite a stupid discussion. It is all symantics, and everyon's use of those words to clarify a skill level are all different. The...

There is a great book written by Jim Pace from Portland Oregon about restaurant work. I forgot the name, but it is most likely something like, "Restaurant guide for Magicians," or "The Magician's guide to Restaurant work," etc... It doesn't got into specific routines, it tells you how to get...

I guess the whole Joke part of the Original Post didnt get through very well... lol... my bad for writing it at like 4 am =/

What do you say? For me, when I am in a bar, and I want to approach a group of, lets say... some nice fun loving ladies and show them some magic, this is how I open... (keep in mind, this is all in Japanese) First, I simply walk up to them with confidence written all over me ( I prefer...
