If this offends people, I hope they never attend a stand up comedy show, sketch comedy show, or even watch a comedy special, or many hundreds of movies out there right now that are even considered classics. Also, having a facebook page protesting doesn't mean anything. Anyone jumps on...

Hey guys, since new apps make the market all the time, thought I would inquire as to what people have found works for them. Maybe its just for fun, maybe they are great for real world workers. Would love to know what you use, and why you recommend it. Here are two I found: Coin in...

I think its a great idea. I also think the cards are overpriced. They are nice, and alot of work goes into them, I think they need to come down a bit since most of us buy more than a few at a time. There are plenty of custom cards out there for 5 bucks. Some of the pricing from magic companies...

I agree with the original post. the limited trend thing - is getting a little tiresome, whats worse is how some are just milking that these days as mentioned before. Im not going to repeat that, we all know different companies that are doing that. you may not or may respect that but...

Rick - that's really funny. The same thing happened with me and my mat. got a little greedy with the flash paper - and 'woof!' there went my close up pad being a professional equipment anymore. :( since then, I have gotten others, all which were ok at first, but later on, the material...

this is uncanny! I was having the same exact discussion with myself! what is the absolute best control to the top? yes, there are hundreds. and.. most, if executed really really well, they are all invisible. no doubt about that. but nothing tops the double lift! nothing. in fact -...

ah, I should have been clear - what about online magic shops you can email for refills and replacements?

I do like that idea too. hmm... but what would you say to people who would argue: you can just go to the store - and request for a certain gaff or precision made refill, and they will charge you for that separately?

Draven, I've always appreciated the time you put in to your posts. Sometimes lengthy posts seem like they are meant to dig, but like you said.. its because we are reading it. If I have a bad day, and I read a post by you, I will interpret it as a negative post probably. If I have a great day...

yeah. I like that idea. but then again, it gets into "its my effect, don't make my gaffs." Its hard to know where you draw the line, unless those gaffs - whatever they may be - are slightly different in how they are made.. maybe they will be better. But yes, a gaff manufacturer would be...

I tend to not use gaffs personally on a daily basis, but more so now than before. like we all know, its about the outcome effect. Its funny how performers - hobbyists and pros alike - tend to go in waves with the stuff. Im open more to the idea nowadays, but am careful with them because I...

Draven, you make some great points as always. You are right actually - with the apple example, etc. If I were to make an impossible bottle using the exact same bottle, cork, string and message, and say it was an exact copy of anyone's piece and idea - that's a no no. If I were to buy all the...

I never post on these forums, but I am a lurker. I had to sign in and respond. If you feel inspired to make your own bottle- go for it. If it comes out less than perfect, which it most likely will, who cares. Try again. Your girlfriend might even appreciate it more. The first bottle might...

thank you guys - please text daily if you can - I would really appreciate it. standard text charges apply, unless you have an unlimited data plan. but there aren't "extra" charges to vote at all. you can also vote at www.refresheverything.com/urbanindigenous as well.

guys thank you so much for your questions. It means alot. Standard text messaging charges applies. I guess with everyone having data plans - and unlimited texting, thats more for them. but you can also log go on the www.refresheverything.com/urbanindigenous and do it that way. you just...

if you could post on here that you voted - it would mean alot to me so I can thank you!

Hey guys, I don't post here often, but I do lurk around to absorb ideas, so thank you. I am coming to you guys because as a magician/comedian/actor in the chicago scene, I am involved with a comedy troupe where we are in the running for a grant from pepsi. Its a grant where people can text...

I tried this in practice last night. I dribbled the cards onto the surface by the corners in my right hand - and a card shot out. only its the gimmick, and not the chosen card. does this not happen to anyone?

what do you mean by riffle? I tried holding the deck by the corners and dribbling them on the table. but I don't think that worked. Do you mean springing them between the hands? does anyone have a more detailed explanation of how to do this? Sometimes when I do static, the packets...

hey guys, I don't post here very often. But I do enjoy reading the threads. I thought this would be one I could chime in on. Im not a full time professional, however, I do perform quite a bit as one several times a month for all kinds of events. Stage shows, mainly adults, walk around...
