    Smoke 2.0 vs Smoke 1.0?

    Switching was never an issue. It's easy and invisible. In fact, I still do a switch with 2.0. Why? Simple. I usually hand my Sharpie to a spectator to sign a card, etc. By switching I don't have to worry about inserting whatever germs the pen has just collected from a spectator's hands into my...

    REGENERATION :: Blake Vogt

    The unfortunate thing about leaving this (very cleverly made) card with the spectator at the conclusion of the trick is that it leads them directly to the solution. Any close examination of the restored card will tell them all they really need to know; certainly enough to suss out a solution...

    White Magic: My Review

    Bizarro is correct with his specific example. I suspect it's fairly obvious to most how this was accomplished. I realize the editing of reactions into this piece (or vice-versa) is intended to layer on deception, but, unfortunately, the effect shown points straight to the method; one that I...

    LIT by Dan White & Dan Hauss + Bonus Vid - Now Available

    For those interested, I posted several ideas for LIT a few months ago. Here's the link: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=13519 I'd like to state, again, my support for this effect. It's a worker. If you perform for real people in the real world, you will hardly find a more...

    David Blaine Explains Split Spades

    As I posted above, acquire Juan Tamariz's book "Mnemonica" and you'll discover exactly why the ace is there. If you have any knowledge of memorized stacks, then you'll understand that there are (again, as I mentioned above) myriad effects built into stacks of this kind. This is merely one...

    David Blaine Explains Split Spades

    This is the Tamariz Memorized Stack. You can find the routine explained by David (along with a legion of other miracles) in Juan's book devoted to the stack titled "Mnemonica". For those with the desire and the discipline, you will be greatly rewarded by this master's work. Juan is one of...

    LIT: Thoughts and ideas

    There are absolutely ways in which you could do this with a signature, though it will require a bit more work. Will having the card signed make the effect any stronger? In my opinion, no. Acquiring a signature with an effect like this simply isn't necessary. If you've done your job right...

    LIT: Thoughts and ideas

    I love this trick. Without a doubt, the work-to-response ratio is dramatically out of proportion. That is to say, so little effort is required for so much impact. However, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't know already. Having performed both versions demonstrated on the DVD, I...

    A short discourse on the matter of spectator reactions.

    Let me be clear. I am not saying that outrageous reactions are a bad thing. I am simply saying that they should not be your aim. Make your goal to perform magic that is meaningful; to provoke thought and stir emotion. The appropriate reactions, whatever they may be (and they will differ...

    A short discourse on the matter of spectator reactions.

    Hi Everyone. As someone who has been performing magic in some form or fashion for the past 25 years, I am probably one of the older people that frequents this site from time to time. I am interested in the future of magic and the younger generation that will take it there. Now, don't...

    Guys, do a search. There are multiple threads about this effect and its history on these forums.

    A New World

    A NEW WORLD is a beautiful effect. It's essentially the cleanest, most perfect version of OUT OF THIS WORLD that one could hope to perform. It also comes with some very cool ideas by Dean and Michael to take the effect to other levels. That said, I really only use this in close-up show...

    Compression

    There is no gimmick. Nothing but your hands and the cards. As noted by myself and another member here in a separate thread, this principle (the inflated deck) was published by Lin Searles in 1938 in his book THE CARD EXPERT. You will also find some very cool applications of this concept...

    David Blaine Matchbook Trick

    If you believe that David Blaine created street magic, think again and crack a book or two. Street magic pre-dates him by hundreds of years. As for street magic in this country, you may want to read up on the man who is considered the father of modern street magic, Jeff Sheridan (a.k.a. "the...
