I received Smoke 2.0 earlier today and after watching the instructional video I still can't open the gimmick. I've tried pulling and wiggling as hard as possible, getting permanent marker on my clothes in the process because of how much force is required. Any tips on opening it? Because I can't...

On this weeks Wizard Product Review they show small segments of the new Ash & Ember. At 4 minutes it shows a guy extinguishing a Zippo flame, proceeds with the ring trick and then when he gestures back to the lighter it re-ignites. You can watch it here http://youtu.be/S9ZadDwyV6Q?t=4m I've...

I'm considering purchasing Greg's recent live at the table lecture (see here) but I've owned lot's of Gregs work in the past, like his On the Spot DVD. It says on the trailer that it includes a lot of new things. I'm wondering if anyone who has purchased this download could give me a run down of...

Can anyone suggest a place to buy and sell playing cards? I'm referring to popular forums, I am already aware of ebay. I only know one place but it's not very active. Also, I don't have Facebook so I can't join any groups on there. Appreciate any recommendations.

Is the reply button broken? The saga continues. On an unrelated note, is there actually anything other than bad robot decks in the mystery box? I'm not particularly fond of the cards but quite like the box and could be swayed to get one if there is the possibility of more than those decks.

I've been thinking about picking up a PK ring for a while now but I'm worried about the affect it will have on mobile phones, credit cards and over devices such as tablets. Anyone who wears or uses a PK ring often, can you share some of your experience on whether it's safe to have around...

I've seen this cut bouncing around a lot in the last 12 months. I'm told it's called the L cut but I have no idea where to learn it. Does anyone know a source? If you want to see what it looks like, it's at 00.27 in this dudes video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LREC0Tq9W-8

A few people have raised the question about where to buy matching dice for their gaff dice. I was in London this weekend and picked these up from International Magic. They're exactly the same, unbranded, casino cut dice. They were £5 ($9) each. It may be worth contacting them if you're...

Not too long ago I placed a relatively large order (for an individual) over at Dan and Dave Industries. My money was taken and it was over a week before anything was posted. I emailed them and they gave me an unsatisfactory explanation as to why, thanking me for my patience. No mention of the...

I've had Smoke for quite some time but recently I get almost no smoke from it compared to when I first bought it. In some scenarios it's not even possible to tell any smoke comes out of my mouth, it's that weak. I've tried charging it and using a new "bit" to see if the last had run out but no...

I feel like my system in which I take deposit's, payment and send invoices can be streamlined so I'm wondering what peoples process is. What do you do once a quote is provided and agreed? Do you favour digital or hard copy invoices? Do you invoice before or after payment? Do you take a...

For those of you that may have missed this, db released more White Lions 1 or 2 weeks ago. You can pick them up at his store http://shop.davidblaine.com/products/white-lions-series-b-red

I own Jeff Kaylor's U.C.C.U, otherwise known as any card to any wallet but I see that TKO 2.0 is coming out this week, which has combined TKO with the U.C.C.U. I'm not sure if anyone will know yet, having not been released, but is there any point in me buying TKO 2.0 when I already have a...

Wondering what your opinions are on this. I have a residency at a nice place. I perform there for 3 hours every Friday night. An amateur magician came in a couple weeks ago with a group of people that reserved a table. Last Friday I stayed after finishing and performed until the early hours...

Been searching magic sites for a while and I tried searching the forum but to no avail so now I'm hoping one of you will know. What's the name of the trick where someone holds their hand in a fist, you (the magician) holds a lighter near yours or someone else's hand and the other spectator's...

A friend recently said that he started using the million dollar knot and infinity IET as a replacement for loops. For what they are, loops are expensive. Infinity IET is twice the price as 5 loops but there's over 200feet of it, which is far more than 5 loops worth. I don't have the million...

Looking at going to Ibiza for a week with friends and I fancy busking on the beach or on a busy street. Does anyone know of laws in Spain? The last thing I want is to get arrested in a foreign country for what is essentially begging.

Looking to get a £2 50pence coin unique but it's been a while since I've had one. Can anyone suggest who produces the best quality ones these days?

Lately I've been getting that old line and I can't make out if it's because of people in the UK, if it's my presentation or if I just need a couple more varied tricks. I always have a deck, digital dissolve and extreme burn on me. I do a couple mentalism type tricks but with cards and various...

What the title refers to is the music on John Carey's, Handle With Carey trailer. It's infections and makes me feel good. Does anyone know if the music is an actual song or if it's just sample music for film? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxjIJNHbknM
