    Most Well Designed Magic Book

    Two of my favorite books are Totally out of Control by Chris Kenner and Session by Josh Jay and Joel Givens. The former is full of fantastic tricks, as well as fun to read, weird/cool illustrations, and the second half of the book is upside down. Yup. The latter, Session, is easily the most...

    Kyle Marlett's Spooning

    I agree with Rob - I'm not really sure what the effect is, and the fork vanish (?) seemed very unrelated to the coin vanishes. Maybe I'm just confused! Keep it up though :)

    Does this happen to you too?

    I totally understand. I would recommend, no matter what you are practicing at the time being, to only practice that move or routine or trick for that week. Spend one week, ONLY doing that thing, and it will become second nature, and won't simply pass by you. When I first started flourishing...

    Best DVD with Gimmick

    Not bad at all! Maybe could use a little refining, but trust me, I've seen fontaine performed FAR worse on the YouTubes :P Keep it up!

    Stepping Stones

    Only Steerpike could give you advice to take his own advice. Well played. Truly, Steerpike offers some great advice here. The best thing I could add on is that experience is the quickest way to climb. The more you perform, the better you get, the more 'auditions', as Steerpike puts it, that you...

    How to create a stage name

    What are you talking about? The Incredible Burt Wonderstone did great at the box offi- oh wait. And hey, The Amazing Spider-Man was an awesome reboo- oh wait.

    How often you guys receive newsletter?

    A new release doesn't necessarily quantify a newsletter blast. I'm subscribed to several other magic newsletters, and every new release gives me an email, to the point where it's annoying. When we do blast one out, it will almost always cover everything that's been released since the last email...

    Commercial or Personal?

    That's life xD If you charge for your moves, people will get mad at you for charging. If you release free moves, they will expect everything to be free. No matter what you do, there will be people who will be mad. People judge no matter what you do, so do what you like to do. The best advice...

    How to create a stage name

    Nope :) Not quite.

    Commercial or Personal?

    It's hard to make 'name' for yourself in the flourishing community. Flourishing DVDs themselves are few and far between, I can't count more than 10 that I know of off the top of my head. My personal advice to you would be to release as many free tutorials as you can on your channel to build up a...

    Brand Spanking New and Looking for Advice

    Some great suggestions here. If you're interested just in sleight of hand magic, Bobo's and Royal Road are excellent starters. If you are looking for pure skill, and something that will occupy your time, you may want to look into cardistry. Certainly not for everyone, but it may bea good fit...

    Going to London

    Lucky!! I'm debating whether I should trek out to London just to see it, I've heard nothing but phenomenal things, and am a huge Derren fan. Let us know how it was!

    The Pass

    Some really great tips here, I'm liking the discussion. Any pass done on camera is naturally at a disadvantage, because a pass is supposed to be done on the offbeat regardless - unless you're good enough at the move to use it as a color change. I found what ChristopherT said about breaking the...

    First Magic Experience You Remember - Share

    When I was around 8 years old, my family was living in London - I lived there for a little under 2 years. There is a huge, amazing department store called Harrods, which is an eight-year-olds dream. Each floor is dedicated to a different thing. One floor, all desserts. Another, all designer...

    Favorite Old Magic Magazine?

    The Phoenix has some KILLER gems in it. Magic Magazine always has great material, enough to make a whole 3 DVD set of tricks ;) I have a whole bin of old Magic and Linking Ring issues which I haven't read in ages and am donation to the Castle library this weekend - I think you'd have a field day...

    How do you explain your moves?

    There are several fairly cheap lav mics online if you do your research - some that even plug right into your iPhone. I personally always use the Zoom H4n for recording, but if that's out of your price range, your best bet would just be to scout out quiet locations, away from family or wind or...

    How to create a stage name

    Go with something you like, and something that fits you. Justin used 'Kredible' as his last name back when he was doing a lot more generalized magic, specifically for kids as well. Since a few years ago, he ditched Kredible and changed to Willman - something a little more professional and less...

    Effect

    Hey Tyler, The effect is very well done! I think technically the moves were executed well, and the routine is nice. My only notes were to look at the camera less, and also you look literally miserable throughout the video. YOU DO MAGIC. YOU JUST PERFORMED A MIRACLE. BE HAPPY. Unless that's...

    The Pass

    Hey Patrick, It looks pretty decent for 3 months - I would suggest tilting your hands downloads a bit more during the move itself - while the top of the deck seems pretty undisturbed throughout the action, the clean-up underneath the deck flashes a bit. This could also just be the camera...

    Financial Stability

    Awesome man! I think any trick, even the crappiest of the crap can be done well with decent presentation. I personally like the trick, and think that performance would be perfect for real audiences. Also, as I said before, you have a huge upper hand already with being able to talk naturally...
