Hi Guys! Ok, so I'm attempting to make my own version of an impossible bottle but instead with a lightbulb. I have gotten origami creations into it so far, but I want something a bit more impressive. I've read up on Impossible Bottles in Paul Harris' book which give tips for a ping pong...

Hi Guys! I've recently got into using invisible thread and unfortunately recently my ITR unravelled itself in performance as I was performing Tom Wright's Oblivion. I was using a Thread Genie as recommended by World Magic Shop. I have no idea what thread to refill my ITR with, whether I...

Heya Guys! Right, I am a UK based magician, and I determined to become international. I would love to do some shows in the USA, but I have no idea how on earth to go about getting booked in the US, what prices I should charge, or anything like that at all. I perform both close up and...

Hi people! :-) Right, it has taken me a while but i have finally taken the plunge and bought Smoke. I do have my own need and use for it for my show that I am putting together, but I want to be able to use it after my show I am performing in Edinburgh. So, what have other people done...

Right guys, I need some help! I have probably posted this before (and Craig Browning gave me some awesome ideas I need to re look at!) but I am working on an Alice in Wonderland themed parlour/cabaret show. So far I am thinking of using Dan Haus Growing Ring as well as combining that with a...

Heya Guys! My assistant and I are looking at doing an act as Tom and Jerry. I know this isn't magic, but i believe you guys may be able to help us with props. We are looking for things like a frying pan that'll leave the imprint of my face on it, an iron that when hit into my head/face will...

Heya Guys! My friend and I are putting together a double act for the Edinburgh Fringe Next year and for the general Cabaret circuit over here in the UK. I'm the brains of the operation (sorting out the tricks) whereas she is the beauty element. However I don't want her to be the 'Debbie...

Heya Guys! Just a quick thread to let you know that this year I have my first One Man Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. If any of you are in Edinburgh for the Festival my show is at Bacaro, Hudson Bar, Hope Street from the 4th-13th August, 9pm till 10pm. It would be brilliant to see some...

Heya Guys! When we look at Magic currently, the famous Magicians on the TV and so forth are all doing what people would consider Magic 'Tricks'. However, do we think these Magicians would have a greater impact on the Magic industry if they performed 'Real' Magic, and what do we perceive as...

Heya Guys! Just put a new video up on Youtube that myself and a friend filmed. It was just a bit of fun, and we decided to put some fun iMovie edits in such as fast forwarding clips and slowing them down. Have a look and let me know what you think! http://youtu.be/N_iO8Y81Q40...

Heya Guys! I've been professional in magic for a while now, and really fancy getting a few new books on the Art, but have no idea which books to get. Of course I already have the stuff most of us start out with (Card College, Royal Road, Modern Coin Magic etc) as well as works from a few...

Heya Guys! Quick question, I'd been practising the Paul Harris trick Fizzmaster for a while, doing the secret moves and so forth, but when it came to the actual performance and the spectator shook it up, you couldn't hear it fizz. I thought that was odd but carried on with the trick. When it...

Heya Guys! I am looking to implement a Russian Roulette Routine in my show, however I don't know what version to go for. I know 'The Spike' was quite popular at one point and have seen versions of it many times. I've seen Dan Sperry do it with a broken bottle, I've seen Kockov do it with...

Heya Guys! I am desperately seeking some knowledge on where to buy or how to make professional Card Clip to hold out cards under my jacket in a Card Manipulation act. Currently I use Clothes Line Clips that I have pinned in my jacket, but surely there must be something better out there...

Heya Guys! I am looking to buy some tables like the ones Piff the Magic Dragon uses in his act. He calls it his 'tacular' and I have no idea what the real name of these tables is. For those of you that haven't seen the table I am talking about and think they could help it, his act can be...

Heya Guys! Do you know if anyone sells Jumbo British Coins (10p's, £2's etc) and if not does anyone know a company that could make me one? Thanks! Simon_Magic

Heya Guys! I've recently been attempting to perform Street Magic (in the 'busking' 30 minute show with massive audience then collecting money in a hat at the end of the show sense) but my main problem I have is getting an audience, and when I have some audience members getting more and also...

Heya Guys! I'm looking for a good ending trick for my stage/cabaret show and I was looking for some ideas. Any help would be brilliant! Thanks, Simon_Magic

Heya Guys! I want to be able to walk onto the stage at the start of my act, and make a large ball of fire appear and shoot into the air. What is the best thing to buy to get this effect? Thanks! Simon_Magic
