    I can't find my tiny, tiny deck.

    I'm working on a shrinking deck effect (standard playing cards become miniature) But I can't actually find anywhere selling mini bicycle cards. Have they been discontinued? Any leads are appreciated. -Anthony

    Can anyone else do this?

    I see from your profile picture you wear glasses, I'd suggest trying without them. My glasses mess with my depth perception a little bit. Lighting is also a big factor, it's virtually impossible to do in fluorescent lighting. Whenever I do it, I take a deep breath and imagine the ring landing...

    Can anyone else do this?

    In my show I talk about how all my magic is done with a combination of sleight of hand, misdirection, and luck. I demonstrate by throwing the ring into the air and caching it without looking at my hand. And in my ring routine I say it's a magic ring, like from LOTR. And demonstrate how the ring...

    Can anyone else do this?

    I'm just wondering if I'm the only person able to do these ring catches. The first one is "Ring Throw" by Oliver Smith off the wire, but I've only seen a couple people even do that, let alone the more difficult throws I do.

    Magic Castle Audition Guidance

    Hey, I've been a junior member for a little over a year. Last month's meeting were new member tryouts so I have a lot of thoughts fresh in mind. 1. Stage or close up is totally personal preference. Very few people do stage (when I auditioned 41 people did close up, 3 did stage) and even fewer...

    Small Stage Magic Recommendations?

    Another vote for rope magic. I'm partial to "Fiber Optics." Although I'd recommend putting an actual cut and restored rope in the mix. I'm also partial to a ring and rope routine http://weeklymagic.blogspot.com/2013/08/ring-and-rope-2.html

    2 Card Transpos With no Dupes

    I forget the name but Michael Vincent does the cleanest transpo I've seen. In general i think the best transpos have three switches. Selection 1 for x card, selection 2 for selection 1, and x card for selection 2. Follow that pattern and you'll get something good. I think the most import part...

    Have you ever done a whole card routine with just one hand?

    This is the type of thing a magician would go crazy for and a lay audience could care less about.

    Departure help

    I just got Departure 2.0 by Chris Smith. I had heard it was one of the most practical ring flights. Ive never done a ring flight before so maybe I'm the problem but at the moment there is no possible way I could perform it. It is so loud. So very loud. Not the reel itself but the rubbing and...

    Kid Magicians/ Illusionists

    This was brought up at the last jr meeting at the magic castle. Th youngest of the members there are in their teens at least. There really aren't any prodigies in magic, so i think it's going to be very hard to find who you're looking for.

    Spoil Sports

    If your not being paid to perform I would suggest just stopping. It might feel weird but more often than not the person will apologize and be quiet, in which case you just move on to your next trick. If not, don't do magic to those people anymore. If you are being paid it's a bit tougher...

    TNR Dollar Bill

    Hey Guys, I've been looking around for a torn and restored dollar bill and haven't really come up with anything. It doesn't have to be signed or have the serial number noted or anything fancy. The only method i know is from Marc Wilson's and i'd really like it to be repeatable. thanks and...

    Tonight's Episode of Fool Us

    I think Blake more or less told them how it was done in the past, I think he just wanted to come on the show for the sake of it. Joshua Jay was amazing, if I remember correctly he taught that same trick on "talk about tricks" but it might've been a newer version. Ben Seidman was my favorite...

    Where can I find this?

    And here i thought bobo covered everything. Even still I don't really think that it's a move that needs to be 'learned', I just saw it on a video somewhere, tried it out on my little brother, and it's been a part of my one coin routine since. I find that the basics of sleight of hand with coins...

    Where can I find this?

    I don't think anyone teaches it, it's just standard sleight of hand with coins. as always check out bobo's

    Best TNR?

    I know Roland Henning is very controversial but if you take the time he has very well thought out ideas on many, many effects. http://weeklymagic.blogspot.com/search/label/Torn%20and%20Restored that said I've been working on Torn by Daniel Garcia for about a month and I really like it
