Tonight, I was sitting on the back porch with a buddy enjoying a cigar, watching the big magic show in the sky. When the sun vanished tonight, it did THIS: http://img31.yfrog.com/i/hbo.jpg/ Now that's showmanship. Sometimes I need my batteries recharged with wonder, and tonight did it...

http://tinyurl.com/dlcabj Watch it. Love it. Fear it. Who is this guy and why isn't he famous?

Did anybody else catch this over the weekend? http://tinyurl.com/cmmrq7 "Watch as I tame MYTH ITSELF!"

Any other magicians on Twitter? Daniel Garcia, Gerry McCambridge, Penn Jillette, Andrew Mayne, and Mike Giusti are all on. Anybody else tweet interesting tidbits daily? You can follow me here.

Hey guys. I'm seriously considering a re-location to central florida in the next six months or so. I was wondering what kind of magic scene exists in the Orlando area? Anybody live there and can give me a heads up? Thanks!

Awesome. I thought this was a really nice and different effect that didn't center around cards or coins. It was my second favorite effect on Blaine's special. (First was the matchbook.) I'm buying it.

Strongbad has a new email all about magic. Pretty hilarious. Moneygicians. Flowy Sleeved Moneygicians seems pointed at Copperfield. Street Magic is pretty funny too. http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail198.html

When I was 14 years old I went to my first magic convention in Oklahoma. We had an unexpected bout of bad weather and many of the attendees were unable to make it, so it was a very lightly attended few days. One of the guest speakers was Roger Klause. I was an arrogant punk with Henry...

APPROACHING MAGIC by David Regal I know some of you think books are scary. They're long and boring. They feel like school. They don't have fast edits or shaky camera shots to hold your attention. There's no music to heighten the effect. I sympathize. I really do. I also dislike saying...

Hey guys. I'm headed to Las Vegas for a couple nights next week. Since I moved back South I'm kinda out of the Vegas loop. Is anybody performing close up regularly at any clubs or restaurants? I'd love to see some magic performed for laypeople. I used to love watching Mike Close at the...

Tonight on America's Got Talent a magician (who will remain nameless) performed the "Shadow Vision" illusion and completely mucked it up. It was pretty much entirely exposed on National Television. I'm sure over the next few days on magic boards people will be angry that NBC aired the...

Did anybody else see this? Holy cow. http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=7108115&version=5&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1 If you're gonna do a large scale well promoted escape, be sure to watch out for the FOX choppers. Live by the camera trick, die by...

Well... maybe not a question so much as a desperate plea for encouragement. Shifty is not particularly complex, but it is kicking my @$$. I've been working on it off and on for a month and a half. Breakthroughs were small and infrequent. This week I had a light work load so I put in a...

So i've had quite a few questions lately from younger guys who want to soften up some half dollars and morgans. I have some very old coins that I use for performance most of the time, but I have also had some very good success with aging newer coins. These are the steps that I use now. 1...

Hey Guys. I'm an old guy, way behind the curve on most of you kids with the new flourishes. I've been working on some Buck stuff. I think the Vertigo Hackeysack is a brilliant idea that would REALLY impress spectators live. I've been working on it twice daily for about three weeks now. I...

Hey guys. Thought some of you might be interested in this. I've been rehearsing for a month now for a blindfold drive that I'll be doing this summer at a large car show for private collectors. I posted some video of our first successful test drive. It's not the most exciting video as it's...
