    Effects for big tables

    You need tricks that can get more people involved. The tricks you listed (based on the way most people perform them) don't, and can feel like you are just performing to one or two people of the group. Take the sponge ball routine for example: you are pretty much performing for the one or two...

    Height Problem with Coin Magic

    To be honest, I have never really had much of an issue with height (with the exception of learning the edge grip. That took a little while to get the angles down.) I am pretty short as well, but you need to be a whole lot shorter than the people watching for height to really cause a problem. If...

    Cruise Ships

    After reading all that, it leaves me to question whether or not it is truly worth the time and effort. I am seeing more cons that pros as it is right now, but what do you think? Is it worth in the end?

    Cruise Ships

    I have heard quite a few magicians talk about working cruises, and now I am curious about it. For those of you who have or do work on cruise lines, could you fill me in as to what one might expect for pay, as well as how to get started in the business?

    Certain type of Material Needed

    I have an idea for something I would like to create, but I need a material that looks like the edges of a deck of cards. I was wondering if any of you have played around with various materials and discovered the best type for this.

    Multiple types of shows

    I have been working a lot on creating a well put-together stage show and something has come across my mind. I am wondering whether or not to have different types of shows available for different types of audiences. I am not talking just having a magic show and a mentalism act. I mean having an...

    Designing a Website

    Wow, thanks guys. There are so many options out there as far as designing websites, all of which seem very good. I guess I can't really go wrong with which template to choose, but it is a tough decision because I want it to be the best it can be. Designing a logo is just as tough. I have a...

    Designing a Website

    I agree with everything you said Christopher, except I think it is going to be fun to get to design my own website. I really like Jamie D. Grant's website in that it is one big page and the tabs scroll down to the right section of the page. It is similar to what Justin did and I like that, but...

    Whats the best and most simple T&R out there?

    I really like Heinstein's Dream. It is simple to set up and very versatile. I used to like Star by Dave Forrest, but it is a lot harder and I am not a fan of the last restoration. That being said, it is also very visual, clean, and easy to set up. David Williamson's Torn and Restored Transpo is...

    Where to get my coins softened and aged

    I have some coins but want to get them aged and softened, so I have a few questions. Where could I send them in to be softened, remilled, and aged? Approximately how much would it cost? Could I also send in some of my own coins to be turned into gaffs (gravity flippers, expanded shells...

    Designing a Website

    I really have no clue on how I should go about getting a website. I have looked at some of the web designer sites such as SquareSpace. It looks pretty easy to do and very professional. Has anybody tried these sites? Are they any good, or would you just recommend going to a professional web...

    Business Cards

    I see that there are many options available such as glossy, premium, metallic, matte, and a few other types of business cards. What are all the differences, and which would you recommend getting?

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    That is exactly what I originally thought. A deal where you get random products from the site-perhaps one dvd, one deck, and one accessory-all for one price. But, like what has been previously said, I do not believe there would be all this hype over a discount or something already seen before...

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    I bet what is inside the box varies from box to box. I feel like they would mix it up so nobody knows for sure exactly what is in their box, hence the "Mystery Box". Otherwise someone could spoil the mystery for everybody.

    Jumbo and Mini Decks

    Thanks guys. I would get Ellusionist's, but I would prefer them to match with my other decks of cards. Magic2night.com has both jumbo and mini, but $50 for a miniature deck! That is crazy expensive! I don't understand how a smaller deck can use less material but be more than ten times as...

    Jumbo and Mini Decks

    Every time I searched, all it came up with was the Jumbo Index or Jumbo Faced decks, not Jumbo Size. All I have found near me are the really cheap quality ones that are just awful.

    Jumbo and Mini Decks

    Do any of you know where to buy jumbo sized decks and/or miniature decks of playing cards? I would prefer them to have the standard bicycle back design, but I haven't had much luck finding those anywhere, so at this point I am primarily just looking for good quality.

    Copper Silver Brass

    Hi. I am seriously into the idea of "purifying" my magic. By this I mean getting rid of all the weird motions and movements and things that just look "fishy" and unnatural. There is one move that really bother's me and is used in every C/S/B routine I see. I am talking about the move where you...
