    Biting and restoring fruit effect

    Hey yall, I'd like to do an effect where I bite into a kiwi fruit and then restore it. I saw an effect here with an apple a loooooong time ago but can't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction or even a different resource where I can create this effect? Thank you!

    Live Streaming Magic - Thoughts?

    Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've been on here. I recently got into streaming games on Twitch, and I thought adding in some magic and Rubik's cube stuff could be a fun way for me to stand out! I was curious on what's allowed for this sort of thing? I imagined I'd be doing some...

    How to read a magic book

    Hey all, I got Art of Astonishment vol. 1 for Christmas, and it's the largest magic book I have (next to Mark Wilson's, but I gave that away to a friend), and I'm doing my best to tackle it. I feel like magic books aren't read in the traditional way, where you start at the front and progress...

    Looking for a video (edit: Found it! Disregard)

    EDIT: I found it, thank you! Hey guys! I'm trying to find a video of Chris Ramsey with the Buck twins. They are doing puzzles and one of them is a little compass like one that you spin to open I believe. I have combed through the "amazing playing cards and puzzle collection" video on Chris'...

    Which of the Art of Astonishment books is best to start?

    I'm asking for a magic book for Christmas, and I'm looking at the AoA collection (I'm wanting to amass more magic books than DVDs at this point). I can just get one book, so I want to know the thoughts people have on them. Is it best to go in sequential order, or does it not matter? I mainly do...

    Effects with Invisible Thread (Loops)

    I was going back through a box of old magic stuff since I've been re-inspired to learn and perform again, and I found several things of interest. Most being some Loops I still have. I was wondering what I can do with these, or where I can learn applications for it? I'd love to do a haunted deck...

    Need help keeping cards in packets

    Hey all, Pretty much title. While flourishing when there is a small pivot point, (think Molecule on the middle finger tip, or Sybil) the cards tend to either spread, or one or two will fall off. This is most prominent with new cards obviously. How do you keep them in a square packet for the...

    Ace of Spades Designs

    I'm looking to add to my collection, and I love unique Ace of Spades. What are some of your favorites? I'm looking for something elegant, kind of mysterious. The biggest example is the Smoke and Mirrors deck from Dan and Dave. What else is out there along those lines?

    Back after long hiatus, looking for some help

    Hey all! I'll cut the fat out of a long backstory, but basically I'm getting back into magic after about 3 years off (besides casual tricks at a party or something). I was digging around my old boxes of DVDs and books and came across some things I really want to get back into performing, but...

    Steve Reynolds Lecture

    Last night I had the great pleasure of watching Steve Reynolds lecture at my magic ring, and it was amazing! Steve's focus is "subtlety trumps sleights" (which he wrote when he signed my copy of his book, route 52). His effects always take the audiences perception into perspective, and then...

    Edge Refills?

    I got Edge for Christmas, and I think it's a very solid effect. However, if you wan't to tailor the effect to different audiences (I have a few presentation ideas) you'll need more than one deck. Does T11 offer refills for this? I couldn't find any on the product page. I'd like to not have to...

    Website design/hosting

    Hey guys! So I'm finally getting around to starting up a website. I have one lady who is a friend of mine, who is offering to waive most of her fees for me, and just charge 75 a month to host it, design it, keep it updated, with unlimited updates and changes available at no extra charge, where...

    Chris Angel on Magic Geek

    Hey guys, so Magic Geek has recently released a Chris Angel line. I know Chris gets a lot of flack, but this isn't about him, it's about the magic. Anyway, the effects available right now are One by Sean Fields, Kinetica by Sean Fields, and the Devlin Dollar by Joe Devlin. I was wondering if...

    Gig Reflection

    No, I'm not trying to copy Rick here haha, but I feel like even though I'm not a "pro" at kid's birthday's yet, I still feel like people can take away something from my experience as well, because I sure did. My gig was 1:00, outside, in the heat. I was wearing pants, a button down, a vest...

    Last Minute Gig...Success!

    Friday night I got a call at about 8:30 at night. It was a mom who says they saw me at Mellow Mushroom (the pizza place I perform at) a while back and I made balloon animals and did magic for their daughters. She apologized for the late notice, and wanted to book me for her daughters birthday...

    Update on "booya!"

    Hello there, I just wanted to give a quick update from my previous thread "booya!" a while back. So Michael went to see Bebo Thursday night and he asked him what the situation was. Bebo said he doesn't want us until the nightclub is put in (reasonable.) That'll be in April. So yes it's a ways...

    Loops in Bulk

    I just got my first pack of loops in the mail and I can't believe I didn't get them earlier! Anyway, obviously they are a little hard to take care of if you're not careful, and I already broke one (whoopsie). Is there any place I can buy them in bulk, instead of just the typical 5 pack? Also, I...

    Booya!

    I hope the title got your attention haha. Anyway, my friend and I went to a hookah bar last night just to chill. It was pretty dead (what do you expect at 8:30 on a Tuesday night anyway?) so we're just chillin at our table with some cards when our waitress asks if we are playing cards or messing...

    Skype Session: What to do?

    Hey guys, so I have a skype session with Justin Miller and I was wondering how exactly these one on ones work. Do you just show him stuff and he helps you? Do you interview him? Or is it mainly just like free reign and I do whatever for the time period? I just don't want to waste an opportunity...

    Dresscode for walkaround

    Hey guys, just had a random thought here, but I thought up a fun little way to do Dresscode while table hopping. It's used less as an effect with attention on it, and instead happens in the offbeat. You go to a table, talk and yadda yadda, then you have someone pick a card, you say you don't...
