Given that I happen to be up and about at the uncouth hours of the early morn, I thought I'd take the opportunity to be the first to wish you all a very happy Halloween. Hope it's the best yet for you all.

Hey team, wondering if anyone can help me here. I'm looking for a pen swami, not like a thwarpie or other Sharpie variation, but a biro or something like that. Anyone know where I may be obtain such an item? Cheers in advance.

I'm going to try and keep this brief, and summarize my thoughts on this topic as to the point as I can. For a long time, magicians and mentalists have argued about the place for flourishing in card magic. Should it be used, and if so, to what extent? Flourishing Now one one end of the scale...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm looking for a telekinesis trick, which isn't something I've ever really looked into before. The basic idea is this: a small box is lying on the table. Suddenly, it twitches. And again. Soon, the twitches are becoming more and more violent...

Hey team, I need help with something (it'll only take a second). It's a psychological test I'm trying to get results for. It'd be appreciated if as many people as possible take part in this, and if any interesting results pop up, feel free to use them in what ever way you see fit. DON'T VIEW...

I've been rather bored recently, and have decided to get back into hypnosis - something I've experimented with a fair bit in the past, but haven't done for a while. Well, I was idly wondering where I could get a large amount of subjects from, preferably subjects that wouldn't care if I got it...

Hey ho guys, I'm back. Anyway, I am looking for a good multiplying somethings routine. Doesn't really matter what, particularly. The only things are that it needs to be stage-sized rather than close up (I contemplated coins, but decided not to due to visibility) and it needs to be in the hands...

Yesterday, I found myself stood in a restaurant, preparing to do a gig for a friend of mine. I was tired, I was sore (five hours of dance is NOT something to be sniffed at), I had just had my first day back at school after the holidays and I wanted to be anywhere but in that room right then. I...

When out performing down at my local restaurant/pizzeria one night in the relatively recent past, I decided to try my hand at astounding one group of lads by performing a daring display of skill and dexterity more commonly known as 'The Biddle Trick'. I asked them to pick a card and show it to...

I made this video for a battle, but I missed the deadline. Bugger. But it's a shame to let it go to waste, so I decided to post it here. At the moment, it only really works for camera, but I'm adapting it to a stage setting for a live audience. Still, it's one continuous shot, no cuts or...

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows any good resources for learning some pen magic. I've never done anything like this before, no pen magic or cigarette magic etc and am therefore a complete novice :D so preferably nothing too difficult for a beginner. Reason I'm asking is that I've started...

Hey, I've been looking into getting a topit fitted along with purchasing a topiting dvd. Only problem is that I've read that if you get one maker's topit, you can't use another maker's dvd. With this in mind, which topits + dvds are regarded the best by people? Any recommendations would be...

In Daniel Madison's pdf, Collateral, he teaches a trick (well, move) called Delusion. Here's the official description: A card is placed face down in the performer's hand. When it is turned face up, that card has changed. Both hands are shown empty with only one card in hand. I was just...

I was just wondering if anyone who has bought 'jump' could tell me this: Can you make the gimmicked item jump towards you or even jump into your hand, because in the video things only ever jump away from him.

Apologies to anyone who read the thread title and thought it would be an interesting and thought provoking essay about where magic is going these days and why visual isn't always best. It isn't. You could always pretend...:p Anyway, I've been doing magic for a while now and think I have got...

Hey 'vryone, I was just wondering if someone could clarify something here? I've heard the term 'blind shuffle' used quite a few times, but I'm not quite sure what it is? Is it another name for a false shuffle or is it something completely different? Just wanted to clear that one up. Thanks Adam B

Hey, I was just wondering who to credit for the Biddle Trick? Any help? Thanks.

Triple Shuffle is an advanced method for shuffling a deck of cards that allows you to perform three separate bridges within the course of a single shuffle. Fluid, fast, and yet understated - this is a flourish that doesn't call too much attention to itself and can be an elegant sleight that...
