    Woody Harrelson and Presentation

    Woody Harrelson was on Letterman promoting his new movie, in which he plays a mentalist. Apparently, he studied some mentalism and hypnosis in preparation for the role. Here's a clip, where he does Hoy's book test. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6eICRkRtGQ There's a kind of simplicity...

    Derren Brown: Enigma Tour

    Was this ever aired? The first two, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Evening of Wonders, are available to see on video, and I was excited when I heard rumor of awesome stuff going on this time around. Alas, fruitless labor. Anyone know if Enigma got the video treatment, and if so...

    Andy Kaufman Meets the Masked Magician

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF-AErc9u7g From ABC's old show, "Fridays." Wonderful stuff. "Because I just ate," cracks me up every time.

    Let's play dress-up!

    Dress up your presentations! For this, just take a trick you like (maybe one you perform, maybe one you haven't performed yet, doesn't really matter - though I daresay this will hit harder if it's something your hands have rehearsed endless times over) and give it a nice presentation. Write...

    Removing the Ego from your magic.

    I. What is Ego? We all have ego. In this sense, I'm talking about the inflamed ego: arrogance, self-indulgence, narcissism. All of us in some way experience and feed that notion. And I think a good example of that is with the modern magician. By modern magician, I'm talking about teenagers...

    Drawing Peek

    I'm looking for a way to have a spectator draw something on a large sketchpad, and then secretly glimpse what it is. I need it to look as clean as possible - preferably without touching the sketchpad, though I'm not holding my breath for such a miracle.

    Style

    The one phrase uttered more than "(insert name here) should be the new T11 artist!" is, "it's a great trick, but... not really my style." Such a foul, contemptible, irritating phrase (harsh feelings born from overuse) has not seen the light a day in what is surely a record-breaking number of...

    Wounded

    I just today got the Wounded DVD and wanted to put a review up, because the other review didn't go into much detail. There's been a bit of controversy surrounding this one, mainly over one of the methods, which only fuels the hype. I really like Wounded and can see myself performing it a lot...

    Geek Magic

    Hey guys. Most people know that Swami / Mantra is a good source for bizarre stunts and geek magic, and that Thomas Medina put out a DVD on geek magic. But what else is there for someone looking for something weird, visual, and possibly a bit icky? To compare to a real-world example, I think...

    Hi! I'm _________

    Part 1. Hi. I'm a new magician, just starting out with no idea where to go. I really like watching Criss Angel on TV, and my friends and I talk about it. I've seen David Blaine, too, and even went to go see a magician perform during a vacation my family took. It all seems pretty cool, and...
