    "Banshees" - Anyone grabbing these?

    I don't that type of target would work, Tom. Maybe if you are Ricky Smith Jr...lol. I definitely recommend the foam target. It works best and can really take a beating too...

    When your Classic Force fails

    Great question! I didn't read any other responses, so I hope my suggestion isn't already mentioned... But I would say ONLY attempt the Classic Force when the selection could really be ANY card. Have the card that you want to force, then give it a try. Worst case scenario, you miss the CF and...

    Psypher-need help

    Robert is a close friend of mine and whenever I have seen him perform this, he will have the spectator rub the box to make sure "no ink has leaked thru". Though it can come off as a "Running if you are not being chased" situation, I think it's ultimately up to you to decide if you want to do/say...

    "Banshees" - Anyone grabbing these?

    For the foam target, check your local hobby/craft store like Michaels. The TYPE of foam used is a "crystalized" type. It will be crunchy in feel... For the red bullseye... You want to use a specific type of paint. Spraypaint will NOT work. Use Craft Smart Red Acrylic Paint. (I assume ANY kind...

    Really "OLD" Magic Instructional VHS tapes FOUND!

    Haha...It was a parody I filmed Craig...I may post it again...

    Need advice thank you

    You are correct, there are books on those topics. 2 great books come to mind as well... I have said SEVERAL times that learning how to be a magician takes more than just reading/watching material on magic. Study sales, and most importantly, study acting. I used to teach improv and sketch comedy...

    Need advice thank you

    Here's the problem. What if you REALLY love magic. What if you REALLY want to learn. So you buy some books. You read the books...you LEARN the sleights. But, what happens if you don't know how to act. What happens if you don't know how to write a script? etc, etc? For those that don't have that...

    Need advice thank you

    I have a LOT of books on magic. A LOT. I have read a LOT of books on magic... While learning from books is essentially the BEST way to learn, (cost per trick on a book vs a DVD or D/L is drastic), it's not the ONLY way to learn. It's an interesting topic for sure. Whenever someone asks for...

    Really "OLD" Magic Instructional VHS tapes FOUND!

    This was a concept video and only a concept for an idea I had. The character itself would NOT be the final product character so as such, I took the link down...

    At the Table Lectures: What do YOU want to see?

    Peeps! Peepettes! Sirs and Madams! Just wanted to take a few minu-toes to discuss with you At the Table Live Lectures, it's format and the direction it's heading in. We have already had a great kick off season with Michael Ammar, ya boy Danny Garcia, Jason England, the Romanian romancer Alex...

    The most reliable watch steal - coming soon!

    If he is trying to sell "HIS" technique for a watch steal, he might want to reflect that on his webpage. There is no mention of a brand new method at all, and the video I am seeing shows what looks to me, as a standard watch steal. The idea of flash paper to reveal the watch is a great idea...

    James Lee Levitation Worth It?

    I don't think that jlee is a member on here anymore. His last post was in 2009, and it was only the 1 post.

    Recommended card effects?

    Problem is, the "effect" lasts only about 3-6 seconds, where as an ACR, OOTW, Haunted Pack, etc, lasts much much longer. I use color changes as separate "effects" when I am looking for filler room. Instead of doing just color changes, think of full effects/routines that could utilize a color...

    Hey, introduction and questions about real work

    I'd make it as "a matter of factly" as possible. Maybe as a waitress/waiter walks by, you can ask, "Hey, can you snag me an extra spoon?" something like that. I really didn't do much with silverware for that exact reason, but maybe some of these guys here have some advice on that...

    Hey, introduction and questions about real work

    Krab makes a point... Talk first with the establishment and find out if there is a dress code. Some places will require you to be in a certain attire. But they will tend to be more "lax" if you build good rapport first. That's how I was able to get away with doing "what I wanted". But that will...

    Hey, introduction and questions about real work

    Yes you will. I have been booked at MANY high end seafood and steakhouses where bills exceed $200 on average wearing nice jeans, nice shoes, a nice tshirt and my "signature" hat kicked to one side.

    Hey, introduction and questions about real work

    I don't mean a costume as in dress up like a wizard or a funny looking outfit. I will name a few examples of what I am talking about: Jeff McBride. Ever see HIM in a suit? No. Dan Sperry... Mac King... Lance Burton. Each one of those names have a COMPLETELY different look than the next. I am...

    Hey, introduction and questions about real work

    I don't want to offer repeat advice, so I will just quickly throw my 2 cents in for what worked for ME... I started my first walk around gig at 17. I didn't just go in there and hand my business card. I became a "regular". I made sure it became the spot where my friends and I would go after...

    Where to sell Smoke

    The Magic Cafe has a section for selling used magic. But why sell it? It's a great little item to always have on you!
