haha those kids don't realize that high school is pretty much the time when they will be most ABLE to find time to practice. College gets worse, and after that's it's pretty much a rarity. if only they knew this piece of information... they'd want to practice a lot more and be more well read haha

Thank you William. It seems to be one of those thing "I wish I had someone tell me this stuff - it would have helped a lot." After all, even through the process of establishing material to teach, I will probably learn a lot myself by going back through the process and learning how to teach it to...

Hey Blake. I'm not too sure I understand what you mean by "how are you going to know they are serious?" Or maybe I just don't see the link between your statement and a reason to not do this project. If you could be a tad more specific, that would really help :] As for finding your own magic...

I definitely agree with you. This course will not be teaching any effects... only going over theory and helping people make the best of their school magic career. Of course, suggestions for what type of stuff to perform will definitely be thrown in. I totally like the preview idea, so I will...

Speaking of busy schedules, I'm actually going to go to a friend's house to work on an AP English Final Project - memorizing 150 lines of shakespeare and then performing it in front of the class haha! I will think about this and get back to you as soon as I can. What I think I will do is post a...

Thanks for your support and enthusiasm! Please share this post with as many people as you can too, because I think it's a great idea that will be able to help hundreds, if not thousands of young magicians. Another idea I just had, or rather another topic I want to cover, is this idea of...

Hi everyone, My name is Ashwin Khurana, and I am an upcoming magician from the San Francisco Bay Area. I have this crazy new idea that may just work, but I need everyone's input in order to help make it a success. Everyone know what I am talking about when I say "Youtube magic junkie?" All...

7 11 carries these matches. There is small black print, barely noticeable on the matchboxes, but if you REALLY want to get rid of it, none of my spectators have EVER noticed when I white it out. They will either give them to you for free or make up a price of something cheap like 25 cents per...

Whatever, just make it a favorite three or four coin production sequence. Keep editing to a minimum I guess because it's about the sleight, not the movie. Thats what most people tend to do, I guess. Music if you want, really whatever haha, I don't care.

this guy said it ALL right there, my entire 2 ranty paragraphs summarized into one substantive statement : )

Honestly, there are few times where you should definitely TRY not to perform. This may perhaps be one of them. I will explain why, and I hope my points hit home. 1) You mentioned that these people may be performing gimmicked tricks and other pretty hard-hitting stuff, but there is something...

just send me an invite : ) You can make the rules or whatever

Hey King of Spades, why not have the two "kings" go head to head for coins? Lemme know : )

Haha I just got back too, and from what you've just written, you essentially summarized my experience too. It was probably the best weekend of my life, hands down. The feeling I got during Juan's Performance and Lecture... GOD, I will never forget it. I felt like a five year old kid, watching my...

Haha that would be awesome, thanks! Both my losses are because I wasn't able to post videos haha : /

hey man, I'm stuck in the airport and can't upload my video : / sorry : (

BAttle Yeah buddy, send a battle challenge my way : )

Buddy, he gives out his e-mail I believe. I contacted him through there first, and then I somehow contacted him on the phone eventually. He gave me a few pointers on some nuances in the routine, and gave me some advice on which coins to buy.

I talked to Homer Liwag on the phone, and he's using a normal shell set, I believe from Jamie Schoolcraft (coingaffs.com). He has an optional piece of teflon on the inside to hide the noise, but this addition increases the protrusion of the coin from the shell a bit. Not enough to be completely...

No problem. I just checked my book and re-read the section. Make sure you use a coin that has a diameter close to a few millimeters longer than the width of your second+third finger (middle + ring finger). This will allow for the front version of the palm. Learn the palm-towards-you version...
