Here's a quote from Mike Close: " Anyone who responds to this advice by replying that he can't learn magic from a book, needs to deal with that shortcoming first. Magic is (in part) an intellectual hobby. You need to be able to take information off the printed page and transform it...

Please remember: The media very seldom reports the whole story. Though I fail to see why this teacher is in trouble, I can almost gaurantee there is more to the story. News sources align stories to pretty much keep the general population in a state of fear and incredulity. Even the...

Thanks Lee Wish I could have hung out with you for a few moments, I heard Fisher was around too. I always feel like it was a wasted week when I don't see you or Aaron perform a couple of tricks Dave

"We think the red and blue are a closer mirror to Jerry’s because of the same color schemes and the “Bee” feel. Either way any of these decks will become collectable. Also to dispel the rumor that there were only 3,000 brown Wynn decks available. In a recent visit to USPC (their factory is very...

Don't worry, All threads about Katie are pretty closely monitored . I hope your daughter has a life as interesting as Katie's has been so far. You can't do much more than present her with interesting situations that may pique her interest....................and it's still fun to beat up...

I hope you'll indulge an old man and his viewpoint. For many of you there has never been life without ESPN, JACKASS or YOU-TUBE and that's why we have a problem in the magic community. ESPN will show Shaq slam dunking a basketball with his team losing by 20 points and Shaq reacting like he...

I hope you're as angry with your English teacher as you are with the Buck Twins for not teaching properly. WTF!!!!! Dave

Hi Anton, How do you get over the bridge? Some topics are started by folks who've got an axe to grind, some are started by folks who think they're being loyal to another entity, some are started by youngsters who've no idea what they're talking about but will parrot words they've heard others...

Dai Vernon "always"* used red backed cards because he thought them to be more aesthetically pleasing for the spectators. Dave *This generalization would not be true when the Professor did routines where backs would change from one color to another

Anyone reminded of "Answer these questions three"? Dave

Hey JB - I think that was what they were complaining about..............!?!? Dave

Evan, If you can't perform without revealing the secrets, maybe you should take up singing. I realize you're a youngster and the pressure to be accepted in a group is tremendous, but compromising your integrity is a poor way to be recognized. You've ruined that trick for about 25 of...

Another youngster that doesn't understand: you don't copy or tape someone's performance. In this case, Daryl makes his living by selling his lectures and DVD's if you take a recording device to a lecture or performance, don't be surprised if you're asked to leave. Dave

With Daryl you need: 1. A note book to write the name of the tricks down to remind you later what you saw, it's not necessary to try and write down the instructions, Daryl has notes available for an extra charge - but they're very good notes. 2. Coins. (Half or Silver Dollar size {U.S})...

Not to put too fine a point on this but...You're not proposing a club, you're describing a class for which you hope to be paid. You'd save a lot of time just advertising "Magic Lessons". Dave

I don't know if Mr Kenner credited Mason or Robinson, but I looked at the version in PABULAR and watched the video with Mr Kenner performing SCHWING and on the surface there seems to be a difference in handling as far as the finger movement goes. Like "Farell" : I haven't bought Mr. Kenners'...

Which explains why I can't find it in SWAMI/MANTRA Dave

SWAMI-MANTRA - I don't remember any "Thread from Eye" effects but there are three or four "Needle from/in Eye" effects. I'll look later, football is on now. Dave

I hope the THEORY 11 folks didn't post this poll. I've noticed the new way to spell "definitely" is to replace the 2nd "e'' an "a" but I expect more from the hosts. I would buy some THEORY 11 gear, depending on what is offered. Dave

They didn't come up with that, it's a quote from PLAYGIRL magazine when George was the centerfold in March of 1982. Dave
