It's always nice when people show they care about you when they give something to you as a gift that you never asked for but they know you well enough to know you'd want it. My piano students got together a bought me a performance used deck of David Blaine's for Christmas... it's on its...

Not sure how many of you have seen this... But it's a long recent interview with the man himself, Paul Harris, so you are bound to get something valuable out of listening. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utxlrbLSd_w - Part 1...

For the original Tivo on The Trilogy... Do any of you have tips as far as the Ben Harris move goes? I can somewhat pull it off with just the card, but on the dribble is much more difficult. So if I could get a PM possibly?

Back to back David Blaine specials on Travel channel at 10pm mountain time, for anyone who cares. Magic Man and Street Magic. Considering just how cold it is here and the fact that we lost heat in the house, It'll be great to sit and watch these.

Is the Papercrane production different than Theory's? the trailers make it look like two completely different productions. just curioous.

Very often do I hear the argument that our audience is not stupid enough to "actually believe" us if we present our magic as though it is a real occurrence happening before their eyes. This is in no way implying that you dress up as Mickey Mouse like in Fantasia, carry around a fancy sparkling...

No, not a debate or argument. Just a little humor to lighten things up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xunAJyUpZw

Daniel Madison's compilation of all of his PDFs from 2005 till now rewritten and remastered into a hardcover book. Everything from the Trilogy (One, Two, and Three) through The Advocate. Especially for someone like me who has a hard time reading things off of the computer like a pdf, and prefers...

Just last week I ended up purchasing Psychological Subtleties 2 and 3. Don't think I want to post a review due to the simple fact that even though they're quite popular, I'd rather not draw any more attention to them due to wanting to keeping them for myself. An absolute gold mine. Now to the...

Why is it so hard for much of us to create misdirection for our spectators? We read books and essays on it constantly (a good many of us do anyway). We go home, the streets, the malls, the parks, wherever, and we apply these techniques we learn to real life scenarios and we practice. They say...

After much trial and error, and with the help of Justin Miller and company, I got my download of Cell Block to finally work. Here is my review of the effect. It's my first review ever, so bare with me. Effect: Cell Block is an effect featuring multiple climaxes where ultimately the...

I am resorting to Theory now, since customer service hasn't gotten back to me in several days since my contact with them. I bought Cell Block from Devil's Advocate a few days ago. And it comes in a zip file. I can not for the life of me, open the file. So I was wondering if anyone else has had...

A fun clip of Wayne Houchin displaying other talents of his. Beautiful song by the way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6sgn4hDLIs

What do you strive for? Do you wake up in the morning, crack open a brand new deck of cards, go sit in the shade waiting for a thunderstorm, hoping, no, praying, that what you'll come up with is so new and exciting that it will move mountains and that you'll somehow gain immortality because of...

I used the search engine, could not find anything to match my question. So, I'm going to be sitting down and scripting certain effects, working on originality in both patter and presentation, just to come up with a solid foundation to work with, when I perform. Enough of that, now comes the...

I wrote this a while ago, figured it is relevant to what we do. Sorry if it's been said before. Then again, somethings need to be reinforced. I edited a few things to make it apply a little more. _____________________________________ "What are you doing with your life... and why should I...
