So I did this trick a little while ago for this girl who was quite frankly beautiful and through my presentation of the effect, she had to touch my hand. As she touched my hand, a little static shock went off between us. I said, "I feel a spark between us. There's a little chemistry here."...

I'm not really a flourisher myself, but really love watching the art for the beauty and difficulty of it all. A few months back, I went to a magic show in the Waterloo area where this kid, couldn't have been over 12 years old, put on the best performance of the night, doing a juggling act to...

I just picked up "Identity" by Richard Sanders and really love the concept of the effect. What's great about it is that you can a strangers' name appear on the card. However, I primarily don't perform for strangers and was wondering if anyone has come up with alternate presentations for the...

Something I find somewhat funny about being a magician is that throughout my day, I am a magician and ready to perform. Everywhere I go I have a deck of cards, I have a few gaffs or gimmicks with me, I'm ready to do a coin vanish, I own a fire wallet, etc. At any time of my day, I'm ready and...

I just saw Glenn West perform this last night and every time I see it done it floors me and thought I'd share a video of it with you guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8BsT1BZEGU

Hey everyone... I'm about to do a short set on stage for the first time. I usually just do stuff on the street and for small groups of like 1 - 10 people at most and I'm doing this show for maybe a hundred people or so. I'm not really sure, could be more, could be less, but it's definitely...

For a beginner magician, what kinds of routines do you think one should learn when just starting out. Or, what do you think are the essential routines magicians should learn when first learning. My ideas are: - ACR - It really helps you create your character, patter, and basic slights -...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxC6EKaiQlM Is this what his site is alluding to? Looks pretty cool.

Has anyone seen this DVD? It looks pretty cool and a lot darker than other magic DVDs I've seen. http://www.kwmagic.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2581 There also a video up on youtube. It has a bunch of stigmata effects and a pulse stop. Yea, I know you're probably...

I never see any talk of Hoyles cards anywhere. It's always Regular Bikes or Tallys or Bees and even Aviators. I've personally never seen a pack of Hoyles in Canada. Can anyone explain how they feel to me in comparison to any other common decks?

This isn't so much a review of the site as it is kudos to the people running it. I bought a few packs of Centurions a few weeks ago and one of them came out completely misprinted and the site is now sending me a new deck free of charge. I've had issues with E in the past and they did not work...

There's this trick I often do and I first saw it here on the forums. I love the trick and want to give credit where credit is due but unfortunately don't know who to give it to... The Effect: Two jokers are placed in an empty card box (It was Guardians Box) A card is selected. Some...

This is a really cool effect created by a local shop I shop at... has anyone purchased it? It seems really cool... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJx9z_mExHI

I just opened up a pack of Bees (I'm contemplating getting Wynns) and they feel really good. A lot like Tally's... do they have the same finish? And... does anyone have any issues with them being borderless?

So I just got a pack of Vipers today and immediately out of the box I thought "These feel just like Masters." Which as a Tally Ho fan had me a bit disappointed... anyways, do Vipers and Shadow Masters essentially feel the same?

I love the look and feel of Tally Ho's and I've been working with a black fan back for the last few months which cost me a bit more than a normal pack and it came with a double backer and a blank face. These were the first pack of Tally's I ever bought. Just this weekend I picked up a pack of...

Hey... I'm kind of new to the forums and to magic and have been wondering if anyone else is left handed and has any problems with that? I'm not saying a lot of problems arise, but I find when I learn things off tutorials I have to adjust quite a bit to certain tricks and flourishes.

I just bought Distortion from a local shop and have a few questions. 1) I heard if you bought the DVD (or any dvd) on the site, you get access to a members only forum about the the trick you've purchased. Is that true? And do I not get access since I didn't buy it on the site. 2) I love...
