    Biddle Trick Oscar Presentation

    My mom is having her annual Oscar "party" (her friend and her husband are coming over), they'll be here in a few minutes. It's a tradition for me to perform magic during the commercials, and I wanted to do a movie-themed effect this year so I haphazardly came up with a "and the nominees are..."...

    Voting Open - ACR- DaveyG v.s. Jacksansui

    Here is an Ambitious Card Routine battle between me and Jacksansui. My video is from a battle I did a while back for another ACR video, but my opponent didn't post a video. They are many small things I could've improved on, but there's one thing that really bugged me, MY HAIR! I looked like a...

    Ambitious Card Routine

    Hey all (Ok, not all but whoever is reading this, ya know?) A few months ago, I was in an ACR battle, unfortunately, my opponent didn't submit a video (or he did and accidentally removed it) I would really like to do an ACR battle, rules: -No super-crazy-fancy editing -Must be...

    "Just Cut to the Chase!"

    I spent my summer practicing not only my sleights, but my presentation. So that when I go back to school, I would be ready to astonish. I worked very hard on scripts for effects I often use at school like the Biddle Trick, Two-Card Monte, and a transpo I came up with. My first day of high...

    Dream of Aces

    I have learned and practiced Piet Forton's "Pop Out Move" for the last few weeks, and I'm very proud to say that I have it down. The reason I bought the video was because of how much I loved the "Grandpa's Aces" routine that David Copperfield did on his 15th television special. I've been...

    Four Months of the Classic Pass

    Here is a video of me performing the Herman Shift after four months of practice. It still needs work, I would highly appreciate some advice. It's not at performing level yet, but I wanted to get some opinions before I continue to practice. I want to make sure I'm not doing something really...

    An Effect That Has Bothered Me for Four Years...

    ...I started magic about four years ago. My first few months consisted of looking at magic videos almost all day. There was one that really bugged me. Strangers make up a name, dial 7 random numbers, and the person who answers has the thought of name. After seeing this, I had a recurring...

    Voting Open - popchris3 V.S. DaveyG - Two Original Color Changes

    http://media.theory11.com/battles/battle.php?id=1237 I did two color changes, one very clean, but not that visual, and the other extremely visual, but not quite as clean. The second one is based off of Daniel Madison's controversial color change, "CHANGE." I played music in the background (from...

    Voting Open - dupes92 V.S. DaveyG - Any Effect

    The voting has opened for a battle between dupes92 and me. http://media.theory11.com/battles/battle.php?id=1265 I was quite satisfied with my patter and presentation, but I was admittedly disappointed with their reaction at the time. That is why I shrugged my shoulders at the end. I now...

    Stud Playing Cards - By George I think I've Got It!

    Well, as many of you, I have been searching for the perfect deck of cards. Well, as the title suggests, I've found them. I just bough two decks of Stud Playing Cards at Walgreens three days ago. They're simply awesome. This isn't the first time I've owned a deck, but before I wasn't a magician...

    WINDOW by David Stone - AWESOME

    Yes, simply put, awesome. I was quite hesitant in ordering WINDOW, because of the price tag, but now that I've done it I'm quite happy. Gimmick: The gimmick is a heavily modified version of a classic gimmick, which if it isn't exposure I'll post the name of. It isn't fragile at all, but you...

    "Riot" by Dan Hauss

    I don't usually write reviews, but I noticed that reviews for Riot were very mixed. Here's my review. Effect: Awesome, the most visual Ambitious Rising Card, and one of the easiest. It's pretty much equal in visualness (I know that's not a word) to "Humbug" by Angelo Carbone. Although...

    Art of Astonishment

    Ok, first of all I'm very sorry for posting this. I know the answer to this question somewhere on the boards, but I can't find it. I've been searching on the boards and on google and ask for the last half hour or so and I couldn't find anything. My question is, does anyone know where I can find...

    Close-Up Pad Cleaning

    This is sort of a dumb question, I searched for an answer, but I couldn't find one because the word, "pad" wasn't included in the search. :mad: I bought a close-up pad a few days ago, and my dealer said that it had been on the shelf for about two years. It's really dusty and covered in lint...
