Tonight is Saturday, and it's been a crazy week. Over the past week we've brought you guys along for the ride behind the scenes of the DB special to the front lines. And we got to meet many of you at the site - it was amazing.

Tonight's event is a chance to get into the action with a roundtable discussion with bSmith, Dan White, and I. Ask any question you wish - everything is fair game, and we will select some of the best questions to be answered live in a podcast posted tonight at 11:00pm EST.

All questions must be submitted on or before 10:00pm EST. One random member whose question is asked during the podcast will receive bSmith's new 1-on-1 release, the Polaroid Change, on the house. Ask away, and look forward to having a great discussion tonight.

UPDATE : Podcast has been posted. Listen to it now here. Direct link to MP3.

1. What inspires you to create a trick? Do you just want to achieve something original or do you want to get a specific effect, or do you take already-existing ideas and try to develop them more?

2. How do you feel about your creations being used by other magicians? Obviously you release them for other people to use them, but how do you feel when other people perform them?

On that same note, How do you (Dan White) feel about seeing David Blaine perform something you created on national TV?

3. What is some advice you can give to magicians who are looking to enhance effects they already know, presentation-wise? What can one do in his or her presentation to make a trick more powerful?

Dan: what is your faveorite effect you've seen?

B. and Dan: what would you say getsa you started in the creation process? like, do you sit down until you come up with an effect, or is it random spurts of inspiration?

B.: what is your favorite release?
 
What started you out in magic? (what made you want to do magic)

What do you feel is the best way to misdirect people?

What do you want your audience to feel after you perform for them?

Who is you role model for life and magic?

Who is the coolest out of the three of you???

Dan White: Is there a coincidence that David Blaine's real last name is White, and Your last name is white?

Dan White: What do you think about the mess up of David Blaine's finale for the stunt??

White and Smith- Do you still get the shakes or get nervous when performing sometimes, or have you performed so much to a point where its almost automatic?

White and Smith- What effect do you have the most fun performing? Everyone has those tricks that they just love to perform, because you know you'll get some sort of reaction.

White and Smith- How often do you create effects? On that same question, how often do you perform?

You little stalker!
Dan: What got you started in magic? How do you practice?

B. smith: What inspired the polaroid change? How you practice?

Both: How do you create tricks? Do you just fiddle with cards until you get something cool? Do you go "I will now create a new trick" and try to make one?
Or do the ideas suddenly pop up in your head and then you go and try it and its seems pretty cool?
