    Bicycle card flip book?

    A friend of mine says someone showed him a "magic trick" where he riffles a deck of bicycle cards and the angel falls of the bike and hits his head on a rock. Obviously he is describing a flip book. He keeps insisting it was a "magic trick." It sounds pretty funny though. It would make a...

    Does the Hindu force really work?

    On art of Magic Wayne Houchin does the Hindu Force for Carbon Paper. To me that force just does not look like it would work. When Wayne did I immediately knew what he was doing. Now I understand that the average spectator wouldn't be looking at it the same way I was. I noticed that in the...

    Stop motion forces

    I was wondering where I can learn more about stop motion forces. Daniel Garcia has one called ego force. I have experimented with gimmicking cards, but haven't gotten anything very consistent yet.

    Just got Crash Course 1 & 2

    I got Crash Course 1 & 2 in the mail yesterday. I was up till 3:00 AM watching them. Crash Course 1 is good, but it would have impressed me a lot more if I hadn't gotten Wayne Houchin's Art of Magic first. There are a few controls and sleights taught. Then they are used in four different...

    PK Rings

    I'm wanting to do Wayne Houchin's Ring and String Mystery. The Only ring I own right now is too tall to move around freely in a #1 coin envelope. By tall I mean the height of the ring if it was sitting on a table. I actually ordered the one ring I have off the net specifically for magic...

    Twilight Angels

    I've watched the Twilight Angels performance Wayne Houchin has on his website many times. I think it is from the Paul Harris Art of Astonishment DVD set. It looks like the coolest gaff trick. I would be reluctant to order a $30 gaff deck, where you only have one of each card. However, by...

    Insane reaction to Wayne Houchin's French Kiss

    Well, I have been working on card tricks and flourishes for about 2.5 months. I haven't performed the tricks to a whole lot of people until this weekend. In large part, because I'd practice a sleight over and over. Then do it in the mirror till it looks perfect. Then I'd I perform the trick for...

    Score! Specialty bike decks at Books A Million

    They have a Barnes N Nobles and Books A Million next to each other in North Charleston close to where I live. I was in the neighborhood so I went to check out the card selections. Barnes N Nobles had nothing. They told me they don't sell regular decks of cards any more. Books A Million had a...

    Is this an illegal bootleg of Sleeping Queen?

    I recently bid on some Magic DVDs a guy had on ebay. I won two, then I was e-mailed and told one of them wasn't available anymore. The one that was sent is Sleeping Queens. I got it today. It came with no case. The label looks like it was printed on an inkjet. It has a white ring around the...

    Saw a magician advertising himself today.

    I was in Myrtle Beach today and saw an SUV with wrap around graphics advertising a magician for hire. I found the guys' website, his name is Micheal Bairefoot. I drove up next to the SUV to see if the guy driving was the same guy pictured on the car. It was, and he appeared to be wearing the...

    Inside Magic Review

    Since their is an active thread on How to do Street Magic, I wanted to post a quick review on the sequel, Inside Magic. Inside Magic is the same formula. Two sets of six tricks. The down side, is you don't get all the bonuses they had added to How To over the years. And one of the 12 tricks...

    Wayne Houchin Contest

    Anyone else trying to be among the first 40 orders to win something? I logged in around 3:45 EST and got everything ready. At about 3:55 I started refreshing the screen every 15 second waiting for the buy me button. The website was still moving very fast. Then at about 3:58 it went to ****. When...

    Daniel Madison Vol. 1

    I got Daniel Madison Vol. 1 today. I love it. The best part is, most of the tricks aren't very hard to do. It's starts with an improved version of a common trick. I think it's called Mindreader on the How to do Street Magic DVD. But the classic version of this trick has a really poor ending...

    What DVDs teach this? Producing cards.

    Right now I'm working with the Extreme Beginners DVDs. My favorites moves are the ones in the special moves section of chapter two. My most favorite is the one I think they call it "hot shot." It's a reveal where the card shoots out of the deck spinning and lands in your other hand. I've seen...

    Review of Legendary Egos Loops

    I got a 25 pack of Generic imitation Loops from Legendary Egos Ebay store for $15 postage paid. It looks like the guy normally sells these for $1 a piece, but has a special right now of 25 for $15. They are black and come on yellow cardboard just like the Yigal Loops. However, I think the guy...

    Generic Loops on Ebay

    I just got all three Guerrilla Guides to Loops on ebay pretty cheap. I'm trying to figure out what to do about the loops. I was thinking of getting the Infinity System. However about one week ago when I was researching this stuff they were selling the infinity loop $50 postage paid. Now it is...

    Total Stigmata Fail, but she was still freaked out.

    I was with my friend of mine and his fiance and at bar. It was super dark and loud as hell. A few days ago, this dude was over at my house and I was showing him some card tricks. So we are talking and he keeps going, "show Michelle a magic trick," over and over. I didn't have cards or anything...

    Invisible deck - gimmicking yourself

    I have a red bicycle invisible deck. Now I want to gimmick a cool black deck myself. I see they got sprays, and ellusionist has a cream. How hard is it to gimmick up a deck. Do you recommend the spray or the cream from ellusionist. I figure I can practice on a $1 deck first and then do a good...

    Is Infinity IET comparable to Yigal IET?

    I got a pack of five loops. I love them and they are easy to use. Of course I am burning through the five pack fast. I'd like to be able to order in some kind of bulk, so I don't have to keep re-ordering at $2 a loop plus postage. I've found two option. The 100ft Yigal IET dispenser with...
