I bought the book “Switch” when it came out, and if you don’t own it...well, you should. It deals with just about every bill change, and effect, worth talking about up to the publication date. Anyhow – I use an old bill change from a video I learnt called “Money Morph” – but am considering...

Recently, I mentioned an effect out of the Harris books in an A of A thread. I had someone PM me and ask me what the effect was. I replied, “I will give you 3 guesses” and he replied back, “It would be more useful if you just told me”...that quessing 3 out of 70-80 effects was "hardly odds...

Magicians are known to be the worst audience members; so poor in fact, that I saw on a performance video of EXTRA CREDIT by Josh Jay, the older audience didn’t seem to enjoy his humour, and someone commented under the vid: o0zaid0o Hate those spectators.. He is too young for them... he...

Well - this decision has been long coming. I have decied to leave this forum for good. I am tired of the bashing remarks of Baller08, so he can feel better about himself. I can't have a serious discussion, because I am being called stupid, a douchebag, a blow hard...and so on...I don't have...

THIS ISN'T AN OPINION POLL - IT IS A FACTUAL POLL - If you haven't experience any of this - don't vote. I don't want to divert the conversation to here - although it might, however: I HAVE been asked, "is that a trick deck" a few times in my 13 years with Bikes...but after asking why they...

Sinful did a great job letting us know the effects, and what comes in the box – I want to review the strength and usefulness of the effects – from my perspective. Disc 1 Twilight Angels “An angel disappears from one side of a card, and appears beside the other” Seeing this effect...

There is a wizard who cloaks his mysteries in a pseudo-shroud of impenetrable darkness. He is the Merlin who nudges the occult in his performances, who wishes his audiences to believe, if ever so little, that he possesses powers not granted to the rest of the world - he is one of the...

What do you think of these cards...

I was at a Canadian convention a couples years back (CAM) and Juan Tamariz was one of the main guests. I saw some DISGUSTING magic by him...I have never been fooled so badly...and that is a rare thing!! I loved it...but saw one thing that really stood out. I have been DYING to "learn" it, and...

the devil pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist! I always liked that quote, and I hoped the subject got your attention - as I really want you to read my post. What you are about to read speaks ot the the changes that have occurred in magic over the past years – it used to be in...

Here is the deal – I have used a red Nugget deck to its near death and even lost one card from the deck – the cards are in pretty good condition, but I want to open a new deck – so I thought about what I would do with the old ones...now that they are incomplete. Then I thought about the...

Hello Magicians After reading so many new magicians talk about their “patter” and seeing things typed like: “I put this here... it happens because I wave it...the cards are detectives” – I wanted to blow my brains out, because I don’t believe this kind of rational is congruent to enjoyable...

I am shaping a thought through my writing...because I realized something has changed. I am not completely sure of what it is, but magic on TV is not creating the same feeling for people. I am not sure if it’s the fact that the bar has been raised time and time again until magicians can...

Day 1 Guess what, Diary? I'm a magician!!! That's right. I went into a Magic Shop on 8th Street this morning and told Jeff, the guy that owns the shop, about the guy I saw in the bar last week. This magician guy was doing tricks. He had me take a card and sign it. Then he asked me to take my...
