I agree many book tests are confusing and really over complicated, simplicity seems to be the key I think if presented with good scripting however a book test could be very powerful to an audience .

I'm a huge fan of max maven he has many book tests.

What're some of your fav book test methods .I will share my method. spoilers ahead .. I have a few books and use the magicians choice force using process of elimination to get to the book I want to use . I then pass around my business card and ask four or five different spectators in the...

Always a sucker for a good cups and balls routine ! Also love the cut & restored rope

Welcome back friend! I myself just came back from a long hiatus! Glad to see you back on the horse :)

I love the out to lunch handling there's so many possibilities! I'm curious to know what are some of your favourite out to lunch concepts! I use an idea by Jay Sankey where you show a few basic shapes to a spectator on your business card. You then hypnotize the spectator and make them forget...

Classic/invisible pass

Once I'm confident handling my loops I'll defiantly consider it !

Harry Houdini always fascinated me as a child and he still does to this day. If I had to say living magicians I would say Penn & Teller

Everything went very well the guests seemed very thrilled. If a magician were to watch my effects he would say I was a little rusty but other than that I never messed up on anything .. It was a hall party with around 30 people each family had their own table. So it was a lot like a restaurant...

This will be my first gig since I took a hiatus in magic . It's been awhile since I've had a gig two years infact. I'm very nervious and it honestly feels like my first time performing infront of lots of people . I'm very rusty but have been practicing all month. I'm heading to the gig as we...

Mark Wilsons Complete Course In Magic

Royal Road To Card Magic... Nuff said! Something's may be dated however you can always mod and update it to suit your performing style. It's an old book but I highly recommend giving it a read!

Another honourable mention would have to be Jay Sankeys "Moving Violation" I love many of sankeys effects however this one just really disappointed me, the gimmick is poorly made and I've maybe used it once in the real world ... Since then it's collected dust on my shelf ...

I've yet to try the haundted deck with loops but maybe I'll give it a go!!

Also any magic sets from Wal-Mart. The products are very cheaply made and you're better off buying from your local magic supplier..... Another honourable mention is Lite Flite. I played with it for months only to let it sit in my closest for years .... garbage

I just feel I was never in the right lighting situation.I remember first opening the deck and my first reaction was " seriously.... no one will be fooled by this !" Just my honest reaction. Who the hell wants a deck of cards that's intertwined in T#}{\d !!! I was very disappointed. In the right...

Another honourable mention would be the haunted deck .... before you hang me for treason hear me out..... For camera it looks fantasic, as well with stage .... but I'm all about close up performances ... And when I recieved it for the first time I looked at it and said to myself " no one will...

Killer Red Caps is another horrible product... maybe in the right hands it can have potential however I sold this on eBay the same day I received it . Very disappointing!!!

I'm very Anti social myself and I always find it difficult walking up to complete strangers. However at the same time it makes me challenge my inner self, constantly going out of my comfort zone to get over my fear... and that fear is people ..
