    Magical Community?

    Id suggest the magic cafe but unless you have thick skin and can handle haters and trolls, it is a pretty toxic environment. The T11 forum IMO (not biased at all) are the best online to hang out and talk magic. Otherwise I'd suggest looking for magic clubs in your area that you can go to and...

    Help with a science project on distraction and attention

    Card to mouth is a good trick to try. It takes practice to get the timing down but it is a great example of misdirection.

    This trick is too small for a BIG STAGE?

    Yeah I think so. The spectator would react to it which would be all the audience would need. The actual vanish and production of the ring isn’t visually important. The thing is you need to make it clear that is what happened. Playing off the “magician in trouble” approach sounds good in this...

    This trick is too small for a BIG STAGE?

    If you can make the ring appearing somewhere else play big then it will be fine. Have seen magicians in 5,000 seat arenas make this effect work. It is all about the presentation. If you just vanish it then it reappears somewhere else it won’t work. If you play with the audience member and tie it...

    Palming help please!

    I second and third what Christopher is saying. When I do Card to Pocket tbh sometimes so am so lazy I don’t even palm it. I literally just take it off the bottom of the deck and put it in my pocket. I still don’t get caught because the move is properly motivated as well as being used at the...

    Most important magic moves

    A lot of great sleights mentioned here! No matter which ones you choose, I would suggest keeping in mind the following criteria: 1. Looks Natural: Moves that look very unnatural or are extremely knack tend to put up red flags. Avoid them if possible. 2. Motivated: Make sure the moves make sense...

    How to take care of playing cards

    Make sure you wash your hands before use. I have the sweatiest nastiest hands so after about 2-3 hours of strolling magic my cards are essentially garbage. haha. Also it is worth mentioning to make sure you are handling your deck gently. Effects which bend the cards or put a lot of pressure on...
