    Performing At School

    Yes, that is what the forums are for, advice. I'm going to say that if you have done any close up work at all, in your elementary school and such, then you already have some experience. Wait...elementary....did you mean middle school as that is what is right before high school....perhaps...

    Oh no, they didn't...

    Ah, you have to go a bit deeper than that. I am not turning this into a deep discussion. All I can say is personally school is something we end up having to do, but It's not neccesary depending on who you are. There are sheep, there are shepards. There are followers, there are leaders. Pick who...

    Stained Skin Teaser

    To me it looks very similar to Bruised, from creative magic, and I have that. I probably won't spend money on this as I am very happy with Bruised. So yes, I say...not much new here. Maybe some new effects, and some new Temp. Tatooes, but not a new concept. I think it will probably be overpriced...

    Am I good enough?

    Well, since everyone is going down on you...let me at least give you something a bit more positive. You CAN make it with just cards, if you would like. Even though blaine does some little stunts and whatnot, most of his main things I've seen on his specials were cards, and many magicians do do...

    Oh no, they didn't...

    Um. Ok. I would disagree. There is a time and a place for everything...and that is whenever you want. It may sound childlike, but its part of my philosophy in life. There are consequences only if you let them bother you. You want to do magic, they want to see magic...you all win. No one said to...

    Oh no, they didn't...

    Ah, I've been having the same problem with cards getting taken away. One thing I can think of is finding a way to make the deck disappear instantly. I believe I've seen a topit like device used for this before, but you might be able to devise a pull for the card box? I have found that if I do...

    Long routine or single trick in street magic?

    What everyone has been saying is right, it does depend greatly on the situation. Usually when I go out whether for street magic or not, I load my pockets good. But especially for street magic I make sure I am prepared, I know where all my props are in which pockets, and make sure I can get to...

    Diabetes Magic?

    Hmmm, somehow related...There is an effect, Ladybug I think it is called where a finger is pricked and the blood droplet is squeezed that comes out and it turns into a ladybug that then crawls up your arm. I suppose you could use that idea with one of those lancelet needle shooters if you knew...

    Erdnase Question(s!)

    Well I suppose there are a lot of passes, so I would yes, suggest trying something else until you get this. A pass isn't really required in card magic, not needed but can help a lot. I use the turnover pass the most, but a regular two handed pass is pretty alright as well. I think as far as...

    Creators Hangout

    You could do a kind of rub-a-dub vanish into the box, but do it forward instead of to the side if you know what I mean by that? Or to just make it look like you put some card in the box but really put a different one I suppose a DL would suffice, or you may find some way of having to place the...

    Coin through ziplock and hands?

    Well I mean it would go through the bag, but they are holding onto it as well and it is filled with other coins...and it is signed. I have that dvd but haven't watched it all the way through, maybe I will check it, just wondering if others had seen something like it.

    Articles and Advice

    Ok, I suppose I'll post it in the General Magic Forum at the moment then. I just had a few articles and such for advice that I have been and have written for my magicians blog and on other sites and wanted to share for those that need em. But ok, thanks I shall try that.

    Hershey Kiss trick... little advice.

    As said before I do not believe Cyril reveals his tricks, however if you want to go the whole exposure route you could find it online...somewhere but we won't tell you, and I'm not sure we're allowed to. However, a legit site that I've been a member of for a long time released a version of it...

    Articles and Advice

    SO...if someone were to write an article on some aspect of magic, either generally or giving specific advice...where would that go? A special forum for advice and articles like that that people could access? Or a part of the main site that we could submit them to? Or just post them here in the...

    Your reputation maker? Mine is Indecent.

    I guess believe it or not...Here then There. Simple, first "real" trick I got serious about learning and it payed off and stuck. I love it! It gets the routine going, I follow in with two card monte, then throw in Joker's Wild.

    Hershey Kiss trick... little advice.

    Heh, didn't think about that...luckily I had them in a side pocket or my little side belt card case...*whew*. Anyways...this is an effect better saved for cooler days. Also...just a side note...I hate youtube.

    Hershey Kiss trick... little advice.

    Heh, I have NO idea what that effect is called, but I first saw Cyril do it anyhow. Oh, just saw on the video it is Sealed With a Kiss... Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=X2aDFnIT8ZM Anyways, little thing I found out performing at the fourth of July festival downtown...is Don't do it on...

    Coin through ziplock and hands?

    Hey everyone, how's it going? I'm going to assume this is a kind of forum where there are no stupid questions? Good. Because I feel like a newb asking but anyways, simple effect I created the other night.... Signed coin dropped in ziplock full of other coins, shaken and handed to the spec to...
