    So what do you think the big announcement will be?

    I expect they're scrapping the whole project and starting on something else.

    The Bad Magician Friend

    He violated the magician's code, and therefore must be put to death. I recommend amping up an Electric Touch and stopping his heart with it. Either that or saw him in half. Really.

    Kid With Black Ghost

    Collecting things, in my opinion, is one of the most prolific and effective ways to waste money. Paying large sums of money for coins, decks of cards, or anything else that can be had for a few bucks is a little ridiculous. That's just my opinion, though. It just seems to me that spending...

    The sad thing about Criss Angel

    Okay, I've seen the footage, and Criss was absolutely on top of that situation, and he was absolutely right to do what he did. First of all, I can't believe that a con-man like Uri Gellar still has any credibility anywhere. Isn't he the guy that claims he has telekinetic powers? Second...

    The sad thing about Criss Angel

    Criss Angel has a huge problem with con artists and people who claim to talk to the dead. I didn't see the Phenomenon thing, but from what I know of Angel, he must have seen something that really bothered or offended him if he lashed out at someone who was performing. I might go watch this on...

    The sad thing about Criss Angel

    Unless my understanding is incorrect, Criss also has a prolific stage career, so he does indeed sell tickets. I'd love to see his stage show, actually.

    The sad thing about Criss Angel

    Okay, I'm going to have to disagree wholeheartedly with that last post. EVERY magician passes his tricks off as his own. Criss Angel never stands up and says he created something unless he actually did. I've never met a magician who would stand up and say, "By the way, the trick I'm about to...

    The sad thing about Criss Angel

    In the early days of his show, he used to do sleight of hand all the time, and most of it was actually pretty good. That element of the show started to die off as his fan base seemed to be getting pulled into the bigger stuff. What I think is sad is that people are still on these magic...

    The Ten Theories?

    They don't. They're a magic shop. They're a good one, but we never really saw what the "guarded, underground" whatever it was that they were talking about. I expected a dvd, book, or some other such thing that would teach some principle or theory that elite magicians had kept amongst...

    Should my friend get a tattoo?

    A tattoo is a serious and personal thing which should not be taken lightly. I would say that a fifteen-year-old who has been into magic for four months is making an error in judgment to get tattoos related to magic. His interest in magic may possibly decline, but the tattoo will be there for...

    Accidental Magic

    I have a habit of cutting to the ace of spades. If I pick up a deck and cut it, I get the ace a lot. Other than that, I was handling a pack of ghosts one time, just messing around, and some guy was watching me. I wasn't performing or anything, just playing around. I played with the ghosts...

    Bicycle Centurions // Speculation, Theories, & Discussion

    Which "last image" are you guys talking about? Are we talking about the last bit of text, or that black and white, blurry mess with all the lines through it. Because I typed in material from both places. The VERY last thing on the video, when typed into the address bar, took me to some weird...

    Forum settings question

    I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonably explanation for this, but why is it that regular users are allowed to have profile pictures, but not avatars? Hardly anybody ever sees profile pictures, but avatars would show up with each post and help to more readily identify the user who has posted...

    Accomplices - Reputation makers?

    It doesn't matter what the audience is "okay with" as far as your methods go. The audience shouldn't know if anyone is helping you with the actual method of the trick. I know for a fact that professional magicians frequently plant stooges in their audiences for the simple sake of wowing the...

    Criss Angel

    Stooges can be used in many ways. The person who signs the card doesn't have to be your stooge. There are several ways to use a stooge to get a card signed, put back in the deck, then moved to the inside of a window. By the way, there's nothing wrong with using stooges. I personally don't...

    What do you present your 'magic' as?

    It really depends. Usually I don't talk about whether or not what I'm doing is real unless I feel as if I have to. I just present my effect and let the reactions roll. If somebody asks me how I've done something I'll either make up some bunk explanation as an obvious joke, or I'll say...

    Exposure : Why

    Many of them think they're helping the magic community by putting effects in the hands of people who can't afford to buy them. Unfortunately, in most cases all they're doing is providing incomplete, incorrect, and poorly made explanations and performances, not to mention stealing money out of...

    Consistency :: Does It Matter?

    Magicians are not monkeys, and we are not required to perform with random objects that people should so happen to throw at us. If we were, I would have devised some pretty handy effects with ladies' undergarments by now. Seriously, though, you don't have to perform just because somebody runs...
