    Crazy Man's Handcuffs

    Step 6 - Get mediocre reactions for not building an effect I'd like to hear if people can come up with some serious or at least dynamic presentations for this effect. It's an old favourite of mine that I used to do as a comedy piece, but I would be delighted to get some serious ideas thrown in...

    Ideas for an ambitious card routine

    While an ACR is fine to do for a bit of fun, to create something of substance from this routine there simply must be a presentational hook. I've done quite well with the ACR in the past, but only because I found two significantly different (but thoroughly engaging, I tell myself) presentations...

    d+M - Truth

    Actually there was a video to begin with where the editing was done properly. The beginning you saw there was on the end and the end was at the beginning. He then put this out later to show how we were all decieved, which is warranted the "simple fools magicians" tagline. It was great when...

    Luke Jermay - Buyer Beware

    I believe that Jermay has already stated that he will deal with these issues on a case by case basis. Read the response from him. It would be wise of you not to publicly smear him, as it will make it increasingy difficult to deal with him in a civil manner. I have great respect for Luke and...

    Quitting?

    Quit if you want. Not all who enter into the subject of medicine end up finishing and becoming doctors. Same for this situation. Not all those who dabble in magic will make anything happen with it. Others will. Doesn't make them any better as a person, just makes them different. And that's a...

    Another ethical question - Who would you work for?

    Short of mass-murderers, I'd work for anyone. The more you can squeeze out of their pockets the better. (This statement does not neccesarily reflect the actual views of the affiliate author.) Ty

    Home made Swamis?

    Well there are impromptu methods which are homemade? Pretty easy really when you think about what's actually needed for a nail writer. But why would you want to? Just go out and buy one. And if you don't have enough money, then WAIT and SAVE. Seriously, they don't cost that much, especially...

    I'm writing a book

    I'm sorry did anyone else trip up on this at all? Doesn't sound like a bad idea by the way, but then again it's not even a plot idea at the moment. A plot line and/or blurb could let us in a bit more. Short story or a novel? Ty

    Performing to Strangers

    My suggestion would be to consider anybody your approaching not as a 'target' so much as someone you would like to befriend. Simply walking up to a group or someone standing around and introducing yourself, starting some sort of dialogue with them before you bombard them with your latest...

    Old Bicycle Cards. What to do?

    No arguing with you here. Thought that went unspoken but I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. But I think trying to perform with a month old deck is just bad business. Ty

    Criss Angel / Twilight

    Please don't misunderstand me. I was suggesting the reasons why both have been received with such substantial fanfare. The truth is many magicians don't want to be as big as Criss Angel, and there simply isn't room on the market for five hundred 'icons' of magic. Criss marketed to a narrow yet...

    Old Bicycle Cards. What to do?

    Make a belt. And as to the discussion on the durability of cards... well I only used new decks in performance, but my practice cards generally last about a week. The problem with using decks any longer is that you can become used to cards reacting in certain ways which can be different to the...

    TalkMagic

    So the answer to this is now a thread subtly bashing the people who are people bashing? That's seems a bit strange The way to change this is not to start more threads about it guys. The way to change this behaviour is to move past all this and try to make each post you write worthwhile and...

    Criss Angel / Twilight

    This has been discussed before. Check out that thread that got closed and you will several reasons why it's hard to find the parallels. A lot of the material Criss performs is seen as damaging to the community, as it encourages the view that magic is accomplished through camera tricks and...

    Crazy Mouth Magic

    Probably, but I'm guessing it would involve a sore fist, towels, possibly surgery and a considerable time lapse. Unless you're in a room full of rugby players... Ty

    how do I get a card to stick to my thumb?

    No it's not. His variation with the aerial catch is called the Furious Angel if I remember correctly. Ty
