    When to be Funny?

    You gotta perform these effects the way that feels right to you. Patter and timing always change. Reactions will always vary. You have to be you. Don't get twisted up on what's appropriate. Think outside the box. You wanna make a joke about your pulse stopping, do it. If you wanna be...

    Money & Magic :: Would It Make A Difference?

    The stock idea is always on my mind. I'm a firm believer. However. I've done stage shows on a dime! It would be great to put together a nicer stage show. 10k would definitely help. Not just spray painted plywood, muslin, mentalism and the vanishing bandanna. I would get some nice...

    First Coin Trick

    Bobo rocks. Is it wierd that the first coin sleight I learned was not french drop, but Downs Palm? Just a thought that popped into my head. Books vs. DVDs for coin conjuring. It's a tough battle, I truly believe books are better, though looking at a printed page becomes more daunting...

    Your Three Favourite Magicians

    Cyril is the best I've seen, Barry and Stuart for their wit and presentation, and David Blaine for his contribution to bringing magic back into the limelight. I'm gonna throw in a least favorite. I hate even saying the word favorite in the same sentence... but.... Chris Angel is my absolute...

    Your first magic book?

    I didn't start magic pre-internet... But my first books were Mark Wilson's Complete Course, Royal Road, and J.B.Bobo's Modern Coin Magic. Books are better than DVDs for two big reasons. There's more information packed into a book than there is in a DVD. Also, learning from a DVD tempts you...
