It will take a number of weeks. I learned it over 30 years ago and it took a very long time to get it to jump about 10-12 inches (I was sick at the time and had a LOT or spare time to work on it). Depending on how much you practice, you may even end up with slight bruising at the two pressure...

The dover edition has errors, the most blatant in the overhand run ups section. The Powner edition does not appear to have any errors.

They are for Bizarre Ad Shrink, an Easter Egg on Disc 5. They hint at it in the description, but they are not shown in the video.

Actually, on the computer the many of the easter eggs are easier to access. It you know where the final location for the "press enter" is (where the mushroom appears in the menus in most cases) you can just click there with the mouse twice, the first time will make the mushroom appear (ant this...

Actually Disc 3 is done, Fridoliina posted the following earlier (http://forums.theory11.com/showpost.php?p=189279&postcount=23) So Fridoliina gets credit for not only completing Disc 3 but posting it in such a way that the post became an easter egg itself :)

Ok, I got this one... Disc 9 Closing PH Interview Move cursor to Angel Cake Press the Down Arrow on the remote (a dot will appear under the "T" in Introducing The Placebo Effect) Press the Right Arrow (a dot will appear under the "h") Press the Right Arrow two more times (the dot will...

Disc 8 Paper Propeller - John Bodine Go to the Index. Go to tab 8 Press the Right Arrow button on the remote to highlight the upside-down "TA" logo on the right. Press the Enter button on the remote.

Disc 8 PH Reel Magic Interview Move cursor to Phoote Notes. Press the right arrow on the remote. Press Enter. EDIT: In Unstable Label, move cursor to Phoote Notes. Press the right arrow on the remote. Press Enter. Sorry, I forgot to say where you had to do this.

13 Steps to Mentalism is on almost every real mentalist's top 10 mentalism book list. You may also want to look at "Practical Mental Effects".

I also am not familiar with the "moment of Zen" triumph. Who is it by, in which book/DVD, etc...? My personal favorite Triumph is Daryl's "Puertorican Triumph".

If you don't want to do "another four ace trick" you could use them as the cover cards for a matrix. Otherwise I agree with the previously made suggestions of The Asher Twist or Twisting the Aces. I would not do more than two "four ace" routines in a row. They may start to blur together in the...

Excellent point. I have seen many magicians pass on tricks because the method is "too simple". It is the effect that it has on the audience that matters, not necessarily how it's done.

It is always tempting to purchase the "latest and greatest" effects out there. I believe you have just discovered one of the reasons those of us who are not new to the art often recommend the "classic" books. If you really look through books like The Royal Road to Card Magic, Modern Coin Magic...

Excellent point, just because someone knows how to do something does not mean that they have truly learned how to do it.

The thing that differentiates "tricks" from "magic" is not the props (as stated earlier by joshua barrett) but the effect. And the effect depends on presentation. In the right hands, even the simplest trick (think of the tricks performed by the previously mentioned Uncle Charlie at the family...

There are lots of items on video that are also available in books. The question should be if you believe that you will benefit from having the effect explained with video of someone performing it correctly, and going over the nuances of the handling, or if you are comfortable learning it from a...

Actually wholesalers do sell to stores. If I understand the current arrangement, T11 produces products and sells them to consumers and retailers. It does not appear that they will carry products that they do not produce (or are not produced by the 11, which permits them to sell the Trilogy)...

Art is very difficult, if not impossible, to define, it is highly subjective. With that in mind, the answer is "it depends". It depends on both the performer (artist), and the person watching the performance (art). The two have to be properly aligned for "art" to occur. I believe it is possible...

Originally I had the same thoughts as houchini but I have to say, joshua barrett makes a good point and, while it is just my opinion, I believe that, if you like the move, and feel that it will be useful to you, then the price of $4.95 is certainly justified. If the level of instruction...

I would not recommend sending cash. Very easy to steal and very hard to trace once it has been stolen. I would suggest purchasing a money order or getting a Cashier's check form the bank. Neither are expensive (a couple of dollars each) and they can be traced and replaced if lost or stolen...
