Panic is being offered at penguin magic. It was recently released. I thought that this was off the market. Has anyone heard about this? Sorry if this has already been covered. zack

I was just wondering if any one else is getting frustrated with the lack of information that is provided by magic studios nowadays? I'm anxiously awaiting the Art of Magic and The Symphony, but I don't have a good idea what these projects consist of. I understand there will be multiple effects...

Entourage by Gordon Bean Effect: Mentalism at it's best. 6 cards are introduced to your spectator; 2 face up jokers guarding 4 face down queens. The spectator is asked if he or she believes in ESP and regardless of answer you begin to demonstrate that the spectator is in tune with their...

Here's what it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRlIlJBFuLE Intro: What a great effect! I've had this for almost 2 years now it is always my most talked about effect when I do a card set;essentially it only lasts about 30-60 seconds and gets you into your card routine, but...

Overall:10/10 Premise: A spectator's selected card is found magically by a pair of Kings(or whatever you want), in the spectator's own hands. The spectator cuts the deck multiple times to find that there card is sandwiched in between the two kings. This effect is 100% impromptu with minimal...

What are some good resources for learning a good side steal? Zack

This looks phenomenal. Is this the project that WH and Dana had collaborated with Aaron on or is there something else coming down the line? Sorry if this has been covered already, I looked in forum history and couldn't find anything. thanks, Zack

The cheek to cheek deck has been around forever; it truly is a classic in magic, right up there with Svengali, Stripper, and Invisible. There are several different tricks that your gimmicked cheek to cheek can operate, while limited compared to Svengali and the Stripper deck, Cheek to cheek has...

XFinger Review: Premise: You visually cause ink to appear, change, or vanish from your finger. There are so many possibilities with this; the only thing that can limit you is your imagination. Method: I questioned the advertisement of there being no gimmick and it being impromptu...

Hey forum, What's a good resource for Dai Vernon's Twisting the Aces? Book, dvd, doesn't matter, I'm just looking for a quality version. Also, Where's a resource for John Scarne's Cut to the Aces? I'm aware he never publicly released his secret, however I've seen some good simulations out...

I've always been interested in the story of S.W. Erdnase. No one knows who he really was even after immense research into the subject. There's an element of theatre invovled in Erdnase's story. It reminds me of the old saying: Satan's greatest trick was convincing the world that God didn't...

Product Link:http://www.magic.org/store/product_info.php?products_id=5235 There's a great demo vid of this on the page Review: I've had this particular product for over a year now and use it weekly. If you're not familiar with this trick, it's bloody brilliant. It's a cell phone penetration...

Premise: Election is a very cool mentalism effect that involves the participation of 2 spectators. They each receive a deck of the opposite color of their partner, one red and one blue for example. The spectators are instructed to hold the decks in mechanic's grip as demonstrated by the...

I'm just wondering what controls you guys use most often(other than the standard double undercut and classic pass). I've been using Cherry Control, LePaul's Bluff Pass, and Fan Control a lot. What controls do you favor and why? I'm looking to learn a few more that maybe I wasn't aware of...

I've had a lot of experience practicing with eXile, at first I had problems vanishing all the X's, but talked to the T11 support crew and they gave me advice that turned out to be helpful and solved my problem. I've performed this without fail 8 times now. It's definitely worth the purchase...

I thought this looked pretty cool. The svengali deck was the first deck I ever bought as a teen, and I still use it somewhat to this day, but never thought of the ideas that Oz has come up with. The trick in preview seems like a crowd stunner. Check it out...

I'll start off by saying that the method for this effect is really cool! It's not limited to just the version performed by David Blaine(which is the coolest version in my opinion), you could write the x on your hand, vanish it, and make it appear on the spectator, which is covered by Dan White...

I'm going to be buying some books and need some help. What are your 5 favorite magic based books? The only stipulation is the book has to have been authored in the last 15 years. I already have most of the classics(aka Bibles of Magic). Thanks for you help.

I had preordered Exile the night of the David Blaine special when it was first available for order and waited anxiously like most of you for it to get here. I got the message from JB that the suppliers in France are living up to their reputation for being French and were late with a crucial...

Yes, it is a little pricier than your average magic trick, and no, the concept itself isn't that original, but the handling for the copper/silver transposition that BJ Bueno created is phenomenally baffling for your audience. The gimmick itself is beautiful, I've heard some people that have had...
