I'm going to try to be there guys! Can't wait... J. P.S. It works on Mac Skype, right?

Shattered by Scott Alexander is a really fantastic "dangerous" magic routine: it is basically a roulette routine, but the "object" is a shattered beer bottle that you break in front of the audience. The best part is that the routine truly is completely safe! Costs a pretty penny, but its...

Congrats to Andrei! Sweet video + chops. J.

There are two schools of thought for which cards to use during manipulation acts. 1. You use "thin" flesh colored back manipulation cards, such as Vernet. These are fine, but you are then also required to press them and to make sure you don't lose any during your show because they are...

Lee Asher's Losing Control is my bread and butter when it comes to card magic. Otherwise, it is most often a jog control, or, in some cases, a hermann pass. J.

Just quickly hopping in: I don't think you have to necessarily routine it into an "act." What you have here now is a show, which consist of many separate, unrelated performance pieces. This is just as effective as a long "routine" might be. Just giving a few different performance theories...

Vernon and Marlo, Marlo and Vernon... Two fantastic card magicians. Study their materials well, and you shall learn much. It always makes me a little jealous to here of magicians who were able to converse with them before there deaths. J.

Cards seem to hit people the wrong way for some reason: I like to make my openers as visual as possible, and coinbite certainly does so quickly and painlessly. Witness is an awesome piece, and I see it coming more towards the middle, depending upon how much you milk the presentation, and what...

Alright, all credit for the theory behind what I am about to explain goes to a magician by the name of Eric Henning. If you want more info on this, go to www.TheWand.net and buy the tips book...that said: The way that I have been taught to routine "sets" such as this has been in the same...

Denny and Lee's is the shop I would most recommend. I have not been to the Las Vegas branch, but the one here in Maryland is excellent, and Denny certainly knows his stuff. Given the treatment I have received, the guys behind the counter will be honest and helpful. J.

This is a beautiful piece, one I fondly remember watching when it was originally aired on "The World's Greatest Magic." If you would like to learn the routine, which is formally titled "It can't be done any slower" you can find it on RENE LAVAND'S CLOSE-UP ARTISTRY VOLUME ONE DVD. It is...

Having been to Vegas twice, both specifically for magic, I can recommend the following shows: Mac King: The best comedy magician working today, bar none. It is well within your price range, and is a must see. Lance Burton: An unbelievable performer, with a highly-polished, precision show...

Nope. Completely different people. But nonetheless, both very talented.. However, I would take Cards as Weapons any day over XB 2. J.

Just because I am always happy to share: Jeff McBride and Eugene Burger. Two of the most talented and influential magicians I have ever had the pleasure to see and learn from. J.

I know I'm late, but it was an awesome time, especially for only being 45 min. from home. Excellent to meet you Justin, and it was good to see ya steve (P.S. Lee Asher Losing Control, google it) J.

Both Three of Clubs.

1. King of Hearts, Jack of Spades

This could just be a regular deck. Quite a few times, I have opened up decks that look like this, and I think it is just an issue for how they cut and package the cards. With use they should be just fine. J.

This may be strange that I know this, but Sonora, CA only actually has around five thousand people, so he could have just misspoke. J.

Sorry I can't meet up with you guys, I'm in Washington...have fun in b'more though, great town! J.
