Hey everyone! This passed weekend I just wrapped production on an independent television pilot tentatively titled "52 Card Pick Up". I've been away from magic for a while, but that doesn't mean I don't love it. I've had an idea for a sitcom in my head for years and months ago I finally decided...

I haven't bought magic in a while, but I've been eying Pressure for a while and when I received it I was ecstatic. I wanted to find a trick that could really get me back into performing. I'm a little rusty and needed something of minimal difficulty but maximum results. And boy does Pressure meet...

For a good many months I had taken a break from magic as a whole. I had to concentrate on school and my filmmaking. I was hesitant about taking a break from magic because I thought I'd never feel the same way about it. I thought I'd wake up one day and throw away all of my books, DVDs, and...

With the immense abundance of new effects and magicians coming into the scene we see "new" things all around us! With so many different styles attached to so many different magicians one must ask; does originality really exist anymore? Are we capable of truly coming up with an original style...

Hey guys! I'm currently in the process of writing a screenplay that I would like to direct next summer. It is a comedy film and the basic plot follows two mediocre magicians who are trying to make their way in the birthday party performance business. What I need from you guys is what would...

So I haven't posted a thread on Filming Magic in a while! So I decided that today, on this boring Sunday would be the day! :) Now that I am close to wrapping principal photography on my short film, some things have crossed my path while shooting that I thought could work great in filming...

This is really interesting, hope you'll get a kick out of it :). This is a speaking that Arthur Benjamin gave at TED 2005. http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/fullscreen.html?v=/ted/movies/ARTHURBENJAMIN-2005&cid=/ted/movies Mitch

We see new magicians coming from all directions. Each of them with their own unique motive for their interest in magic. Do you believe that there is a certain "way" to get into magic? Should these newcomers be shown the way or should the learn it through their own experiences? Is magic too...

As a young magician in an art which used to be heavily dominated by elders, I feel sort of "subordinate". I constantly hear that the youth in magic are destroying the art that used to be so prestigious. Do you think that that holds true? Are we really destroying magic? Discuss... Mitch

Review: This is the second Kevin Parker item I have and it wont be the last. Initially, I was skeptical about buying Nexus, but it was worth it. It is a completely impromptu, visual linking key on keyring effect. There's nothing more you can ask for. Quality: The quality of the download...

With new developments in technology and science, the world is entering a new age. What does this mean for magic? How does technology affect magic and/or benefit it? What are some of the downsides to technology and its influence on magic? What ARE these influences? Discuss... Mitch

Hey guys, I'm no mod, but I think I can speak for a few people who have been seeing some rude posting as of late. Please, please make this a respectful and welcoming place for all members. If they're new, guide them! Just some thoughts. Mitch

Hey everyone! I don't usually do this, but I'm leaving to West Palm Beach Florida next wednesday. If anyone lives near or around the city, we should hook up... not sexually. Mitch

Once again, I was sitting in one of my film classes just chillin, illin, the same old thing. Then something struck my ear... my teacher stated "Film Makers are magicians." I've heard that way to many times, but every time that I do hear those words spoken, I immediately decide to take note to...

Generally, I like kids. But sometimes they can be the devil. Therefore, I will share this story with you! I don't usually do children's birthday parties, but I made today and exception. Most of the kids were generally quiet and attentive, except for one little devil. This girl was pulling my...

After this month's Cerca Trova, I had a few thoughts that I thought I'd share with you all. It really got me thinking. I'm going to put this in a really weird analogy. Imagine an addict, if he/she wants to get sober without help, he/she needs to hit bottom. The addict needs to truly get...
