So is the only difference between a camera and a camcorder is that the camera can take still shots?

Hey guys. Just have some quick questions I was hoping some of you could answer. Firstly, I know this topic has been discussed before I'm sure, but I did a detailed search and could find nothing of real value. I am looking to buy a camera to start doing some filming. I was wondering what...

Hey guys. I'm wondering if anyone actually performs by traveling from city to city and touring doing shows? Matthew

I'll definitely have to check her out. Lisa Gerard from Dead Can Dance is among my favorites. I feel many fail to see the magic behind music and how it can be used to aid in "magic" as an expression of art.

That would be awesome if you could man. It always seems like the best pieces of music are in car commercials, and there always sadly too short.

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone knew the the music in the background of Bill Kalush's testimonial. http://vimeo.com/7902734 She starts singing at 40 seconds, but then the video cuts off. It's some type of opera. This piece sends chills up my back. It is so epic and audibly inspiring...

I have a mailbag escape from back in the day. They provide lots of presentation room. I jumped off the Petal Bridge in mine. Well....actually I was thrown off. The thing with a mailbag escape is that it is more or less an addition in an escape. You would be chained and shackled and then put...

Hello all. I don't want to start another thread based around Dana and his video skills. It is quite evident that he knows what he is doing and is very good at it. The question that I have, is how does one go about learning and acquiring these skills? I've been performing since the age of 5...

I should have included a video to what I'm looking for. This is basically what I'm looking for. This is the most cleanest I've seen yet. I think the guy meant to type Chris Kenner's 3 Fry. However, if you watch Chris's video, it looks nothing like this so I'm confused...

Hey guys. I've recently decided to incorporate a coins across effect into my act. My question is this, what kind of gimmick coin do I need? I was looking on coingaff.com at the "Walking Liberty's". I think I'm wanting to go with these coins. Do I need a flipper or a shell? Thanks Matt

Hey guys. Over the past few months there has been a thing on Magicafe.com about the missing puzzle pieces. Piece number four has arrived and it seems to spell "Elite". I could be wrong, but that's what I'm getting. My question is, has anyone heard anything about this or what exactly it is. It's...

First off, to answer the guys message above, NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. Essentially it is how we can program our brains through language patterns. As for resources in beginning, Richard Bandler and John Grindler are NOT good resources. Bandler is the one who invented and...

What is acetone? A chemical?

Hey guys. I'm writing this to see if anyone is familiar with card splitting to make your own gimmicks. I am after a blank face smoke and mirrors card for a signature effect of mine. I cant afford to keep splitting these cards for trial and error progress. If someone thinks they are up to making...

There is a huge difference in a hobbyist and an artist. Firstly, is the love. The hobbyist performs to ENTERTAIN himself and others. He enjoys the reactions he gets out of tricking and deceiving others. The hobbyist usually go for material that have a sucker ending or a double kicker finish...

What about Reparation by John Lovick? Are you familiar with this and do you know if it can be applied using a business card?

I don"t really do a lot of cards. I focus mainly on mentalism and psychology based material. That being said, I'm looking for a TnR that I can do with a business card in which I give a cold reading piece while I'm restoring it. I once saw Wayne do TnR in a little mini show. Its on youtube...

I believe the next "Cerca Trova" should be about self expression. I would gladly share some thoughts on this from my upcoming book. Let me know what you guys think. Matthew Sims

Hey guys. I was wondering if the TNR can be done with business cards. I once saw a clip of Wayne doing what appeared to be TNR with one of his business cards in a little mini show. If someone can direct me further I would appreciate it. Matthew Sims
