Hey! I am mostly a card guy, but I want to get into coins. Would "Basic Coin Magic" by David Stone be a good place to start? I'm already aware of Bobo and th rest, but I love the fluidity of Stone. So, Yay nor Nay?

And he's absolutely hilarious. Sankey is too, but they have different styles of humor. Do any of you know his website?

Well, David Stone is I think one of the best magicians out there. His output, presentation, and experience all contribute this. The Real Secrets of Magic is a fantastic set. I just finished watching it and it is challenging in some ways, but just fun to perform, also. Don't you just love the...

Oh! you could so do this in a school setting (very risky yes, loops in school!). Make a text book page turn by waving your hand over it!

Well, you go and search "loops" on Penguin, Ellusionist, or anywhere else, and you come up with either complaints about loops breaking, or questions about effects that were on "The Guerilla Guide" (which was very good, don't get me wrong). So, what are some effects that use loops that you have...

Yes, I thought my theory was little complicated. However, having studied his work, he very well could come up with something that crazy. Very clever, that chap.

Well first, I this is not magic (At least I think so). It's not an effect, just really a phenomenon (if that). Consequently we can discuss it freely right? In the beginning of many Derren Brown episodes, a public telephone rings, someone answers, then in seconds, they fall asleep. Well how can...

well i'm pretty sure it is against the rules to advertise. they said that if your product was really good, it would sell itself. anyway, they are truly amazing. i dont know if i'll buy a brick but 3 or 4 definitely. omg that joker is soooo awesome.

Oh I love The Devil's Picturebook. Yeah i see what you guys mean. And i don't want to sound like I want to copy him, even if he is one of the best out there. and I think it would be VERY difficult to change my repertoire to fit DB just because it is so expensive! lol

Well, I am reading the work of Derren Brown right now, and he makes so much sense, and routines things to seem like real magic to the extent where spectators don't even consider IT or what have you. He makes each effect seem like an experience, which I love. He talks about not being a...

Hey everyone, I just want to hear some of the funniest Sankey quotes/moments you guys have. Mine I guess would be "now this is the very exposed view. Well no, I guess this is the very exposed view" and he unzips his jeans. Funniest moment in magic instruction ever. lol

ya i saw Cyril's and wondered if there was a product like that. I was skeptical because his stuff is extremely difficult to find.

NO! Not just opening the flap and what not! Is there a trick where you take out a deck of cards in the box, then the box vanishes and the cards remain? Its a cool idea and I've seen it done before, but I just want to know of there is an actual product on the market like that. Thanks Everyone!

try some of derren browns work. it is spectacular.

Hello! So I didn't know any deck switches for my force deck so I thought of this one. Tell me your thoughts! Force Deck/gimmicked in your jacket pocket. Spectator shuffles a real deck. If you were doing like a rising card, do the derren brown thing (face the suspicions head on) and ask...

I'm having trouble with the Ego Slip though. They always see it go on top, even though i try to get the timing right. I love the idea of just putting it on top.

just go and get an american express gift card. thats how i pay for everything online. it goes in exactly as a credit card!

jay sankey paperclipped cuz of the reactions.

So here is a 2nd idea that I have; please check out my 1st and give some feedback! I LOVE tricks that have the "only 1 card face down" climax, and it's their card. So it may already be a trick; the moves involved and the effect certainly is not new. the deck is shuffled and cut by a...

hey, since the guardians are sold out, it doesn't show the price. Just wondering how much they were. Thanks guys
