    Strange Traveler or Astral Projection

    I did own astral projection, but I bought it way back before it had an instructional DVD. However, now I know that I need the DVD in order to learn the signed version. In answer to your question, I literally got rid of it by throwing it away. May sound crazy to some, but I felt I had to. I...

    Strange Traveler or Astral Projection

    I see what you're saying, but why bother when you can do the same with astral projection?

    Strange Traveler or Astral Projection

    Hello everyone. For those who own or are familiar with both Strange Traveler and Astral Projection: Does anyone feel that one is superior to the other. I used to own Astral Projection, but when I got Strange Traveler, I got rid of Astral Projection. I did so because I felt that ST was just a...

    David Blaine on Oprah - New Record

    He didn't break out from the chains. He was let loose by the divers who were standing by because he began to show signs of struggling. My main point was that he was claiming that he was going to break free or die. Of course I wasn't wishing that he died. I'm just merely pointing out what was...

    David Blaine on Oprah - New Record

    Drowned alive Hello everyone, I am a David Blaine fan, but I have to bring up an issue that, to my knowledge, has not been resolved. In the weeks leading up to David Blaine's "DROWNED ALIVE" special, he was claiming that he would either break free from the chains or die. This was the...

    Bicycle Guardians

    Faro shuffle with guardians Hello everyone. Sorry if this has been brought up already, but I find it very difficult to faro the Guardians. The edges seem too stiff and resistant. I don't know if I used the right technical terms, but I hope my point is understood. I want to know if it's just me...

    Don't Push It!

    I couldn't agree with you more. I work as a security guard at a residential complex. A couple of years ago, I had a big fan base. They were mostly teenagers who lived in or around the area. When I look back now, I wish I had performed less. Many times I gave into pressure, and performed whenit...

    Very little book exposure

    I don't know exactly who said it, but remember the quote : "if you want to keep something secret, put it in print."

    Purity and Magic

    There's nothing wrong with carrying stuff around. Let's face it, there are some great effects that can only be done with gimmicks that you need to have on you. If you insist on being so dogmatic, then I believe you're limiting yourself. Also I see nothing wrong with having a deck on your person...

    Master's Edition

    I have a thought for everyone on the masters deck. First of all, I love them to death. The only problem I see is that the box is obviously different from the original. That can cause a problem if you want to do a routine that involves switching to a gaffed deck. Do you magi believe that they...

    Card College Series...

    Hi. I have the first three volumes and they are fantastic. I never intend to go through them systematically. I use them as a reference. I highly recommend them though. They have lots of practial and impromptu effects. It also has articles on theory and presentation. If you plan on doing alot of...

    Jay Sankey on Fancy Decks

    That's why I like the Masters edition Deck. Also, the Guardians are very similar to regular playing cards. Just the back design is new. So I don't consider the guardians strange, like the others. I understand what people are saying though, although I'm not as dogmatic. Personally, I wouldn't...

    Magic Isn't Real

    Hello there. I understand where you're coming from, but don't let that phase you. I mean, ultimatley, we should leave it up to the audience to come up with their own conclusions. I'll tell you from personal experience that it's usually more fun when they don't believe in magic. Cause if you...

    Royal Road to Card Magic DVD

    Also the DVD set has a couple of refinements. It also has great inspiration and advice from other magicians. Incidentally, it also corrects an error that's unfortunatley made its way in the book. I wont get into detail, but it has to do with one of the forces.

    What is the most useful sleight in card magic?

    The most useful sleight, in my opinion, is the jogshuffle. I guess it dependon you style. I'm a big admirer of Harry Lorayne and Paul Gordon. Both of these artists are very creative when it comes to exploiting the jogshuffle.

    Royal Road to Card Magic DVD

    Nothing gets rushed. Paul Wilson does an excellent job of teaching. Honestly, the first seven or so chapters are pretty simple. It gets a little more difficult after that, but you'll get the hang of things. Like I said earlier, get the book also so you'll always be able to refer to it. You can...
