Here’s the link to the thread @WitchDocIsIn refers to above as a resource https://www.theory11.com/forums/threads/creating-a-show.51322/ But we should post responses or questions here in this thread as not to dredge up the older post, per Theory11 forum etiquette.

My set of dealers include those listed above by y’all already. I do prefer to support the creators directly if I can, especially when I plan to pick up more than one copy of an effect. While I buy things states side occasionally, I find myself more and more picking up items from the UK. That...

If we’re talking about feeling that joy of amazement and wonder in the experience, that would be less frequently than when I don’t know what’s going on but see something interesting (which happens about once a week). About a year ago I saw Paul Draper perform in SLC; it was a birthday gift...

It was a year of old and new for me; but mostly it was me trying to be more intentional in my purchases and acquisitions this year - what with moving my family away from Josh and the gang up there in Utah. I basically focused on what would help me in my current goal to design a show I could go...

So some ideas that I’ve played with when developing opportunities for college students in what used to be a campus magic club. If you reach out to the Student Affairs, or Student Services, folks on your campus you can probably find several different opportunities to perform (and I’m not talking...

My take at couching the resource in a bit of a riddle. I hope it isn’t too annoying, and that the title isn’t too subtle. Feel free to send me a DM here if it is. There is an author of a work, one which has been well received by those who employ small pieces of paper as you describe to both...

It depends upon what stage of practicing I am on, and to some extent the effect. Early on with Voodoo specifically I used the same setup gimmicks and over and over as I practiced the handlings for it, mimicking some parts. And then when I would practice with people I treated it like a...

Books, hands down.

In instances where we can draw direct connection between one performer’s unpublished work to another’s unasked use of it I agree with Josh and RealityOne and others where who find that behavior unethical. That feels blatant. Instances were described where the unethical performer knew they were...

Or a thought of converting money for travel and build EB in as part of a reveal for a larger prediction effect - although maybe that release from this year is better for this theme of exchanging money...

There is a local shop where they use a similar theme of disguising money. Another potential angle could be inflation - I’m working on some lines to use in my money management presentations at the college for the upcoming Fall semester along these lines. As the rate of inflation has been fairly...

So I got Perfect Cents in the mail the other day and it’s really neat and well produced. When Theory11 said it was very different in design the only other idea I could come up with was what this is but not in the same form factor of that make sense. @OliverPerry it’s bulkier (in that I notice it...

Thank you Casey for your thorough and quick response to my question. Sounds great, I’ll be placing my order today. Just wanted to be sure if it would add enough to include since I already have Exact Change. Looks like I’ll have to collect some more pennies to use for this one. Ha ha. :) To...

Okay, so a serious question regarding Perfect Cents which I just saw the announcement for from y’all (Theory 11). How is this not too similar to Greg Wilson’s Exact Change? From the copy it reads identical in effect; I know we don’t reveal methods in the forum but is it significantly different...

My very first magic book included the trick you described @ChristopherT. It worked best with a well-used deck of cards, and the chosen values would either be right next to each other, or separated by one other card only.

Hi LewisT! I remember looking for something similar to the busking case you are referencing about a year or so ago. I ended up having to do what CWhite suggested which was piece together my own system. The only thing this combination has special was that the flange to attach the table stand to...

I feel like the question on what books are recommended for mentalism become very varied oftentimes on these forums, especially what that first book should be. Bob Cassidy's Artful Mentalism is great, and gets recommended often as a beginner friendly entry point into mentalism. But you'll see...

Welcome to the forums, and I want to echo RealityOne is saying how helpful the folks on this forum are. I look forward to reading your insights into the questions posted.

Welcome JoeyFive!

Hey CJ! So there are of course a lot of options here like I’m sure you’ve been looking through. The first thing you want to think about is if you want a lavalier microphone (which would attach to your shirt or jacket under your chin). Rode makes some really great (in my opinion) lavalier...
