    Any way to turn a heckler to your side?

    So I was thinking about it the other day, and the only ways I really know to deal with hecklers are to turn the crowd against them, or fake them out with a false call, floor them, and move on. Has anyone ever had an experience of winning a heckler over, and actually getting them engaged in the...

    My hands are on fire!

    So, we all know about audience management and misdirection, but what do you do for that person who just won't stop burning your hands? You know the type, that one guy who just gets obsessed with the how of it, usually either a fellow magician, or just an avid spectator. My question is how do you...

    So, I'm about to release a few tricks on the marketplace, but I was wondering if anyone wanted to help me with a project I've been playing with for a bit. Any takers?

    Thinking of making a submission

    I wanted to upload a trick to the marketplace, and I've made a few of my own, but I don't know which one I should do. I only want to upload one, and keep the others for myself, for now, but I can't decide which to do. Opinions on which effect you guys might want to see up for sale? Blur: coins...

    A lesson in Perseverance

    I want to take a second to show you my lens on life. The other day, I almost quit magic. I felt dead, tired and frustrated by my own shortcomings. I let despair get the better of me. I spent a long night, until 3 am in the city, trying as hard as I could to make even a dollar. I didn't even need...

    Card to fruit gone south

    So, I was doing a card to fruit routine, where I tear and restore the card into a banana, however, when I pulled out the card, it was jet black, and ruined. I still saved it, because we kept a piece of it, but I would prefer if they could read their card. Any tips on preventing ink bleed?

    What makes a great Finale for you guys?

    I usually end my show on this very long, very funny story routine where I talk about insurance, and at the end the card is printed on the insurance policy, and also the only one left in my hand. I'm just curious, how do you guys like to end your shows?

    Favorite Magicians?

    I personally think that Paul Daniels, may he rest in peace, was one of the greatest illusionists ever. I haven't seen anyone with his fluid skill. We may never see anyone with that level of skill again. So, I'm curious, who are your favorite professionals, and why?

    Why do some spectators insist on messing with you?

    So I was doing a show the other night, and I had a spectator blatantly lie to me in the act. I know this because she said I got her card wrong. Funny. I thought I was using a FORCE DECK. It was very embarrassing, and her boyfriend even supported her on it, but the rest of the crowd knew she was...

    The UN-gali Deck

    So, I've been tossing this routine around in my mind using a Mirage Deck. I tried it out the other day and it was fantastic. We broke all the 'rules' of a Svengali deck. You can shuffle, spread, take out cards, whatever they want, and the reaction is great! A Svengali routine without a...

    Trying to think of a new routine

    So, this is my first post on this forum, and I was wondering: What kind of routines does everyone do? I'm starting out into the world of street magic, and I've done shows regularly for about a month now, but is there any way to improve my routine? For example, what effects are strong crowd...
