New to Magic and Don't know where to start
Please Read This Carefully. . . You are new to the art and being given a lot of information that's NOT taking that into account. You need foundation material before you need all the other material e.g. you need to invest in three books for starters; The Mark Wilson Course in Magic and Bill...- Craig Browning

Where can I learn some Psychological forces?
There's no "making someone think of a name" but rather our ability to work out which COMMON NAME (in most cases) they would be thinking of. I would be pointing you to Peter Turner's material in Bigger Fish II when it comes to this and Isabella Star when it comes to his Birth Date reveal in that...- Craig Browning

presenting the floating table
Hence the loss of wonder when it comes to the traditional idea of the floating table. . . a seance/spiritualist effect. I'm not taking away from what Losander created in that it's a technical marvel, I just hate the routine due to personal bias and how said effect works best. . . and it's not...- Craig Browning

Rather than repeating my usual reply to this frequently asked question I'll point out that there is a search option that would take you to numerous threads covering this same exact question. . . and many other "newbie" type questions including "what's your favorite?" type B.S Pardon my coming...- Craig Browning

I quit magic for a while but should I continue?
Why must there be an "either/or" scenario; I know plenty of guys that put themselves through college doing magic. We're talking about guys and gals that went on to become respected doctors, lawyers, etc. as well as award winning performers and innovators (at least one of whom is a regular...- Craig Browning

Magic for the Internet
I have several of Shim's pieces and I don't see what you're saying here; his stuff works in real time in the real world As to my point . . . Youtube is rife with fools playing to a camera vs. an audience, this does not make them "Magicians" it makes them nerds masturbating on camera with...- Craig Browning

Magic for the Internet
My question is WHY? Magic is meant to be performed LIVE and IN PERSON not on video or over the "air waves" and especially in the manner that so many now "present" it. . . this sort of thinking is hurting magic and costing us the ability to "perform" vs. "doing tricks" or worse "stunts". Learn...- Craig Browning

Itr!
I wish I was more familiar with your gimmick, I've always used a BOSS unit when it comes to the ITR, which can be reset fairly easy. When it comes to thread types I know that most swear by the Spider Thread but when it gets right down to things, it's how you work with the thread that makes the...- Craig Browning

The Urban Shaman
The "purpose" behind the book and the semi-formal "society" that is forming around the Urban~Shaman idea, while it does involve a certain level of fellowship, has more to do (presently) with defining what this new path is all about and who, by their nature, is or isn't a part of that path...- Craig Browning

Stage Show
Unfortunately there were not books when I first started out in this business outside Magic & Showmanship by Henning Nelms and maybe the Amateur Magician's Handbook by Henry Hay. . . . for me it was a load of pros from magic and theater as well as PR companies that pulled all the strings, I just...- Craig Browning

tricks without cards ?
This needed to be said twice and then some. . . . if you are afraid of angles, then learn to work around that situation, it is part of the art and you are short changing yourself . . . you're not a "magician" if you let this issue limit you. You need but learn more about presentation and...- Craig Browning

The Urban Shaman
Add to your list of those "just saying so". . . Jerome Finley, Peter Turner, TC Tahoe, and well over two dozen other notables in today's Magic & Mentalism society that openly identify as being Urban~Shaman and perhaps a bit more. . . all of whom are part of a rather active (new) Facebook page...- Craig Browning

The Urban Shaman
The "Pigeon Hole" I see as a positive in that we will stick out like a sore thumb in that we are Black Sheep of sorts when it comes to how the traditional magic community will view us due to how close to the edge we walk when it comes to Charlatanism, some stepping far closer to that edge than...- Craig Browning

I should make note that I purchased this item yesterday and have yet to see it and too, the email address on your site is kicked back as non-existent. I've asked Jerome to contact you on my behalf, I hope that don't prove to be a dead end as well.- Craig Browning

Don't be Afraid to Do Something for Free
There's nothing wrong (and much right) about doing this sort of program @ no cost; I've done many for disaster relief situations be it a family or a community. My encouragement however is to choose the charities or types of issues you're willing to do this kind of thing for as well as those...- Craig Browning
