Yep. That's actually the book where I learned how to do the clapping gag that David Copperfield opens his shows with.

I own RRtCM and Modern Coin Magic from your list and have read How to do Magic Tricks at a local library. Other books that I own that I would recommend are Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic, Encyclopedia of Mentalism+Mentalists (basically a combination of 13 Steps to Mentalism and Mind...

Yes. Check in that where ever you may be performing if you need a fire permit or not. I'm not sure how they are with fire eating but with firebreathing I've heard some people need a permit for insurance reasons.

I don't think there was ill intent there. I think he was genuinely entertained by ChrisJGJ's excellent response. I even chuckled a few times at his point. @ChrisJGJ good post sir!

A friend recommended it to me when I was actively seeking someone to teach me firebreathing. You can find most groups like this on Facebook though. I think it would make for a great opener! I use sword swallowing as a lure for my busking show. I should note that one of the best buskers...

I learned fire eating from a group called the Detroit Fire Collective. There are tons of "burners" all around the world so I'm sure where ever you are located you can find a fire club and there would be people to teach you there. As with anything fire related, there is some risk involved so yes...

This is just my opinion but don't put magic you haven't been working with for a while in a performance. I've learned the hard way, it's just not a wise thing to do, especially working with IT. The thread and wax was supposed to come with T2. Is there not a ball of wax at the slit of the...

I think the reviewers of the trick will usually email you a reason as to why they did not approve it. Some tips I have for the future is to do your research to make sure your plot, method, and presentation are original. There is a wonderful site called conjuringarchive.com where you can look...

Thank you for all your work on here Josh! You were basically a living encyclopedia of knowledge when it came to magic. I hope to still see you on here from time to time. I saw you recently became a moderator on Penguin so congratulations on that as well!

Oh man you are opening up a whole another can of worms with that one.....

Lol I posted on here a week ago about that article with the forum entitled "Most Helpful Advice Going Into 2018" https://www.theory11.com/forums/threads/most-helpful-advice-going-into-2018.50463/

Joker's Heist>>>>>>Monkey In The Middle

Thanks Weeping Angel! Best of luck to you!

If you are familiar with Double Cross, the gimmick for Super Sharpie is nearly identical to that gimmick (which makes sense since they both come from Magic Smith). I actually prefer Super Sharpie for a Swami since it makes the most sense visually in the writing. I have Everlast (the ring swami)...

Not at all. I think it's actually encouraged that way your presentation is unique to you and not a copy of someone else's.

Sorry for the video length and quality. I've been super busy and wanted to get this video out in a reasonable enough time for people to enter. The length of the video just means a lot happened and I have even more planned for the future!

Cipher is the best in my opinion.

My idea is similar to the one in this video that I will share. Basically the idea is to mix Angle Z with Regeneration by Blake Vogt. This is what it would look like:

I don't know of anywhere you can purchase a premade gimmick for razor blade swallowing other than possibly Scott Alexander's The Blades (which is way overpriced). Most methods I have seen require gimmick construction on your own.

I'm not a mindreader but I have a hunch who that was. :D
