    First Edition Smoke and Mirrors

    I'm going to use mine, like for card tricks... How much do you think these things are really going to be worth? Hang on to an unopened pack sure - but why bother stashing away some very fine cards. Use em! I mean maybe in 10 years someone will want to buy your 2 packs for 20-30 bucks...

    Best Coin Bending

    You know - for a quick bad lil sucker of a coin bend one that I use ALL the time is Danny Garcia's Bent from from his Bent Touch Slink DVD. It's underrated and nobody really knows about it.. or at least I've never heard anyone mention it. I think because DVD might seeem like a dud that this gem...

    Best Coin Bending

    I recommend Benjamin Earl's Skin DVD on coin bending - he's not the most famous guy but his work is top flight. His card work is incredible and unique and his thoughts and presentation on the coin bend are second to none. I can tell you that I have never seen a more considered routine and...

    The Too Perfect Theory: Wrong?

    Just a note - I said LEARN from, not base my style on or even emulate. Just an important point of fact there.

    The Too Perfect Theory: Wrong?

    Well then I commend you for taking the time to put presentation into your magic. More of our community should do so! Burger has one of the most incredible presentational styles I can think of - a true performer whether showing a magic effect or telling a story. A few others that come to mind...

    The Too Perfect Theory: Wrong?

    My guess is because people don't really take the time to read and understand new concepts before they get on some forum and start telling people their well considered thoughts about them. Myself, I'd say "too perfect" may be a misnomer, but it's a concept that doesn't offer a quick name that...

    The Too Perfect Theory: Wrong?

    The Too Perfect theory is well known and understood by, I'd say, all master magician performers... Vernon, Jennings, Ortiz etc all have thoughts on this very valid theory. I think you folks, and Rich, are missing the point here. The Too Perfect theory doesn't refer to magic being too GOOD or...

    Improve your performance - Witness Email Session // ★★★★★

    The guy is an incredible magician - cut him some slack. Witness is a pretty bad-ass effect - and if the originator wants to take the time to discuss the intricacies of the performance with the people who have purchased it I say good on ya Lee! If you aren't interested why bother reading the...

    Time for the Clipshift

    good enough to show people? I don't assume that you show people the pass or the double lift - you show them magic, no? 3 days you say - all that time and it's still not performance worthy? Ok I know things come quickly these days and you can buy T11 1-on-1's and go out and do a trick for...

    The Karnival Deck?

    I wonder how different the Brown Wynns are from the red ones? I was in Vegas a few weeks back and bought pretty much all of their red Wynn decks up - super thick papery stock. Handle nice but wear badly, being papery, in my opinion. Unlike Bee's which I feel are more plastic-y and...

    The Karnival Deck?

    These decks are fine - standard bike stock. So if you like the design and bikes, grab em up! Somehow after all the decks I get, play with, try out - I always come back to bikes. A pack of polished Tallys feel like a million bucks but I end up liking the slightly thinner stock and finish of...

    ACR Routine

    I'm a big fan of Bill Malone's ACR (I Don’t Even Have a Pocket from On The Loose #1) I'd suggest learning a few then pulling them apart into a routine of your own where it becomes yours. It's a pretty great trick to learn to improvise with as it has a million variations, methods, etc... make...

    Compression by Dan White and Doug McKenzie

    Thats what I thought - I'm guessing there are a few tricks by that name or similar - who knows.

    Compression by Dan White and Doug McKenzie

    @cdwonderist - you got yours weeks ago? Last i heard from Tannens they were reshooting a lot of the footage and was still not released. Who did you order from?

    True Astonishment... The Sequel

    I pre-ordered this from the astonishment project website way back on Dec 9! Looks like they held off on pre-orders in the interim. As far as being worth it... matter of opinion I assume and pretty subjective. If you find lets say few solid tricks that you will really use and master is THAT...
