Hi Everyone I am working on an instagram project with great quotes from magicians and thought I would check in here to see if people had any favourite quotes or even fav interviews for me to read through to find a good line or two. I am trying to line up 52 of them, it isn't too hard to find...

If you are going to stroll around I would highly recommend talking to the organizers ahead of time to get their okay on it. It is always best to be on good terms with the people running the site you are one and if you present it properly they may even higher you to do it.

Thanks I'll add that to my wish list. I thought it might have been Juan Tamariz so have ordered Verbal Magic which looks like a great book.

This depends entirely on your character and what you are doing. If you are doing bizarre magic and telling people that you have supernatural power and can actually speak to the dead or have psychic abilities and taking their money to talk to dead relatives then you are being unethical. If you...

Did anyone see the new episode of Fool Us last night? Penn and Teller did a great card routine at the end of the night with Penn giving the audience instructions and the magic happening in their hands. Wondering if any one knows if this is something of theirs or if it is in a book of self...

It is ShawnFarquhar's routine and I don't believe he has ever released it anywhere. He got a standing ovation when he did it to close a show here a couple of months ago. It is a beautiful piece of magic.

I'd also suggest editing your post and removing the link to the pirated version. There is no reason to promote their site by letting other know how to find it.

If is great to be enthusiastic about sharing a passion but there are so many things wrong with what you are doing. As AmberGraci points out there is much to work on from the filming standpoint and you are no where near ready from a skill standpoint to be teaching other. If you want to practice...

Does it have the King of Hearts on the cover? Frederick J Drake & Company printed a paperback edition starting in 1905 and printed them until the 1930s. How do you know it is a first edition (of the paperback version)? Does the King of Hearts have pips? What colour is the background? It should...

I am sure it varies a bit from ring to ring in Victoria BC Ring 183 you need to come to your first meeting as a guest of someone (which is not hard even if you don't know us, you just need to get in touch and someone will invite you out) and you need to attend three meetings and then can be...

I highly recommend anyone that is serious about magic become a member of the IBM. The knowledge and feedback you can get from members of your local ring can be extremely valuable. That alone I think justifies the yearly dues but then you also get access to the monthly Linking Ring magazine, the...

Totally agree that most people that recommend this haven't read it. Annotated Erdnase is great but I would also suggest checking out The Experts at the Card Table by David Ben & E.S. Andrews from Magicana. Has 700+ photographs of hand positions and easier to understand text.

I don't know what JN stands but really a couple of searches through google should give you all the info you need. Just remember there often is a difference between what people are saying things are worth and what they actually sell for. Posting on forums people will often say a deck is worth...

There is an IBM ring in Roanoke which doesn't look too far from you (I know nothing about the area so I could very easily be wrong about how far it is) but it might be worth while talking to them. Looks like there are a couple of S.A.M Assemblies not too far away as well

there's a deck of Madison Players on eBay for $28 and red JAQK's for $45 neither of which have any bids on them so it doesn't look like there is a huge demand for them at the moment

The Experts at the Card Table by David Ben that is linked to above is absolutely gorgeous and is filled with great photos of hand positions. I highly recommend it.

If you are interested in this friendship there is a fairly new book out called the Witch of Lime Street by David Jaher that is about Houdini and Doyle's views and investigations in to the spiritualist movement. It is an entertaining read, plus the cover glows in the dark which is reason enough...

You simply need more practice. re-watch or re-read whatever method you are using for learning often but having issues after a week of practice really doesn't mean much at all. This is not an easy thing to learn. Good card will help but you just need to keep working on it and not think this is...

http://ibmring17.com/ring17/ website for Toronto's IBM ring a great place to start meeting people

Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic Card College series Royal Road to Card Magic Modern Coin Magic by Bobo Tarbell's course in magic (many of the routines in Tarbell need to be updated somehow but the info is gold. Dan Harlan is doing a series about this elsewhere) All of these are easily...
