Oh Yeah!! Candlejack wore a burlap sa........

Testors is the way to go. BUT... In a pinch: Use re-stickable glue stick.

Dear Danny- My name is Bill Koch, and I am a magician from Chicago. I am the first "President" of a new magic club starting in the NorthWest suburbs of the city, and when we were talking about potential lecturers that we'd like to have come to our club, I threw your name out there, and there...

I'll be there! I'll be competing in the teen competition. This is my last year :-( I'll make sure to stop by the booth and spend all my money! :-) -Bill

Hey there Anthony- I have the Precision Magic Dancing Cane which is the one David Mann utilizes in his DVD Dancing Cane 101, and I love it. I HIGHLY recommend that cane. Another great cane is Jeff McBride's Vortex dancing cane. This one is great because it lights up inside, and can be used...

Definitely reference to a book where you learned the sleight. If you didn't learn the sleight from a book, then find a book (like S.W. Erdnase Expert at the Card Table) where it is detailed, and use that as a reference. -Bill

Dude, I'm totally envious. Chris is such a nice guy in person. I got the opportunity to meet him last year at the World Magic Seminar. Our meeting wasn't very long, but in the few minutes I spoke with him, he made such an impression. That's how a magician should act... no... that's...

Check out Jeff McBride's World Class Manipulation DVDs. It's about manipulation with balls, coins, and thimbles. Pretty much anything that has to do with billiard ball manipulation will work with ping pong balls.

Hey there, I was browsing on Dan and Dave's site, and they sell Aladdins, Arrcos, AND Tally Ho's... Just a friendly suggestion. They're all normal prices for a deck of Bikes, so it's a really good deal. Good Luck, and happy hunting! Cheers! -Bill ps-http://store.dananddave.com/playing-cards/

Kevin James Floating Rose. Best one there is! -Bill

Man... I've been doing magic for a decade and I'm taking notes!! I can only reiterate what others have said: Royal Road / Card College Bobo Coin Magic 13 Steps Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic Tarbell 1-8 With these books, you have the fundamentals covered. More...

Tarbell No. 6 has a section on Blindfolds and "X-Ray Vision." -Bill

Wow... That's really nice... NOT! He's just asking a question. You don't need to get all ticked off about it! He need help, not a response that will get him absolutely nowhere. And speaking of posts that will get you absolutely nowhere, you just absolutely love to bring other people down...

As much as I love Royal Road, it does get tricky to read at times. I'd have to say Card College.

Add a touch of comedy. Laughter is great misdirection. If you have, or can get ahold of a copy of the Books of Wonder by Tommy Wonder, the first chapter of book one after the introductions is all about Misdirection. He says if you need to palm a card, ask them a question. While they pause...

Anthony- If you live near a magic shop, go on in there and pick their brains. Ask them what books/dvds they recommend. Welcome to the magic community! Good Luck! -Bill

Shhh... He found the secret of .:The Wire:. !! Haha -Bill

I am an almost all card based performer (when it comes to close-up). I'm going to attempt to teach myself a shadow-coins routine / Three-Fly (or both!). I think those would be good for me. -Bill
