I once heard of an effect where a card is torn into four pieces and laid out in a matrix-like fashion on the table. Then the magician covers to of the pieces.

*I apologize in advance if this has been posted before.* Ok, i've been practicing the muscle pass during the past month and i'm getting rather good at it. My only problem is the unnaturalness of the hand. When i do the muscle pass, my hand is always in the claw-like position much like when i...

I have recently checked out Jay Sankey's material and i gotta say he has a lot of dvds out there. He seems to be a very creative guy with a lot of magic that fit my style. I have purchased his Invisible DVD and 22 Blows to the Head DVD and they are both phenomenal. But i have also seen some...

Ok, i know this may sound noobish and i once told myself i would avoid making a thread like this but right now i'm really stuck. My birthday is coming up in a week and i don't know what to ask for. My parents said i can't get anything too expensive (under $30) so the iTouch and laptop is outta...

I'm planning to buy a set of Ninja Rings to add to my close-up routine. But i just wanna ask some questions. 1. Are they worth the price? 2. Are the moves hard? 3. Is it a good routine to use? Thanks!

I saw Tom Burgoon do a routine using something he called a swiss warblar (or something like that) on Masters of Illusion. It's a little thing you put in your mouth and it makes a buzzing noise. Does anyone know where i can get one?

Hey, i wanna start getting into cups and balls magic and add a routine to my shows. But the subject is so vast, i dunno where to start. So what books or dvds do you recommend for cups and balls. Also, what kind of cups should i use? Do i need to buy really expensive ones? Which cups are better...

Archimedes' Bathtub The Art and Logic of Breakthrough Thinking Let me start off by saying that this booking has nothing to do with magic. But this book has benefited my magic more than any other book i own. Why? This is a book on breakthrough thinking. How did Leonardo De Vinci create...

I often here tricks that have "NO Pipe Dream!" written on them. I was just wondering what the heck a pipe dream is?

Hey, i'm thinking of going to Tannen's Magic Camp this summer. The problem is, my family is not too rich, so it's kinda hard to pay for it. The bad economy isn't helping either. But my parents say if i really want to, i can go. So i wanna ask you guys: 1. Is it really worth $1000? Just for one...

Have you ever been in a situation where a guy tells you do some kind of magic which you can't do? For example, i was doing blindsided one day and afterwards one of the spectators said "Ok, now change it back to red". Stuff like that. How would you handle that? Obviously you can't meet their...

Hey, i just bought an effect which needs a gimmick involving elastic thread. I won t tell you what the effect is cuz that would be exposure. But does anyone know a good place to buy some good elastic thread? I dont want invisible Elastic thread though, because those break to easily. Thanks!

Hey, i just ordered a pair of d'lites and i'm pretty excited. The thing is, i wanna do more with these things than just producing lights from nowhere or sticking them through my ear. I wanna apply it to other types of magic. The only thing i have come up with so far is to continuously pull...
