    Magician's Wand

    Michael Ammar's Mercury Wand is the one that I have used for years. Its great, heavy enough that you can feel it and made of metal. The tips look silver and the black portion is rubber for grip. I have never had an issue with it and it has stood up to a lot of work. I think you can buy it for...

    Instant replay

    Like someone else said, its just muscle memory. Luckily this is an easy move to practice. Figure out how many cards you are going to be using for this move (depending on the effect or flourish, you may have more or less when you reach the point that you need to do the Instant Replay move), and...

    Your Pandora

    I do it exactly like the trilogy. I actually like the end of the 1st phase with the single card.

    Unboxing my White Centurions and Brown Wynns

    Why do people make these? Unboxing videos might be the most boring videos on the internet, a close second being Cat videos.

    My Routine

    my suggestion is don't learn ANYTHING new for this show. You don't have enough time. Even if you work exclusively on a new slight/routine for the next week, it will not have enough work put into it for it to be performable.

    How to talk like a magician?

    I applaude your attempt to be deep, however I don't think you really know what you are talking about. If you study communication, one of the most basic things you will learn is that "intent" is completely irrelevant. This especially applies to magic. Magic has everything to do with your...

    Another ethical question - Who would you work for?

    No, I was just saying that of all the states, Texas loves Capital Punishment the most. They kill more criminals by far than any other state. In 2009 they killed 24 people, the second highest state was Ohio with 5. lol. So the idea that you are for it and live in Texas isn't really surprising...

    Another ethical question - Who would you work for?

    You're from Texas, it's to be expected. :)

    How to talk like a magician?

    Patter is important, but patter does not mean that you need to be bound to a script either. The worst presentation, to me, is a guy that rattles off patter with no interaction with the audience or deviation in the presentation. Instead of reciting what you practice in your room everyday, adapt...

    How to talk like a magician?

    If you want to be a great performer, try to talk NOTHING like a magician. Look to other performing arts. Typically magicians are among the worst performers. People like Daniel Garcia are great performers, but that is because they do not perform like typical magicians. Just be yourself and...

    Getting Tired

    Go with Harlan. He is GREAT with rubber bands, terrible at stealing cash registers though lol.

    Do you think this is a little unprofessional?

    Not really sure how it is unprofessional... Its all about the money, if they can make more money editing 4 1 hour DVDs than editing 1 4 hour DVD then that's what they are going to work on. It's all very professional. They made no promises on release dates, and there are so many other sources to...

    Cups and Balls - Anyone?

    I have a set of Paul Fox cups from RNT2 and I love them . I highly recommend them. If you are just starting out, go buy some real cheap ones (maybe even plastic) to practice with while you save the money to buy a nice set. The plastic ones do everything metal ones would but they don't look quite...

    Flourish Practice

    practice it both ways. As slow as possible to get it smooth, and as fast as possible to work on speed. Ideally you will eventually have a product that should be some sort of crossbreed of the two.

    Saturday Night Contest - A FREE Trip To Magic-Con 2010

    May as well go to sleep now man, there are so many submissions they have to look through and since its such a big contest I doubt they would announce the winner at 2 or 3 am in a forum post. They will most likely announce the winner tomorrow or some time next week via a video. They said there...
