    Perfect predictions are not so perfect...

    I'm betting that maybe he wanted it to fall a bit soft, Derren's been at it too long to have such a reaction that's not intentional. Why would he do so? To prove he's human, perhaps? That's why Kreskin has missed finding his pay check a few times, to prove that it's not a trick and that he's...

    Multiple types of shows

    For starters, if you are going to do traditional magic STAY AWAY FROM MENTALISM the one cancels out the other; your mentalism will not be seen as "legit" if you do or are known for doing Magic. This is even more true when you elect to present effects that are better classified as "Mental Magic"...

    losander floating table.

    I will say that the table's are amazingly light given their size, they are likewise delicate and require very special care or you can shatter one with great ease. IF you are buying one, which really is the best way to go, Dirk will be more than happy to help you out but understand, he's a...

    needle broke inside my hand help

    Firstly, I doubt this is real. . . I think it's someone looking for attention. Why would you spend typing on a magic forum when you have a medical situation? Secondly, how would you comfortably type with a needle stuck in your hand? This is just an attention whore and nothing more.

    Tricks for parties

    It starts with knowing what your Character is about; are you a gambler, a street hustler, a classic worker, a mentalists and if so, which type of mentalist, etc. No One can give you an honest answer to this question other than yourself; you're the only one that has the vision as to what kind...

    Good resource on Equivoque?

    There's no need for multiple outs at all if you do it right. . . and your list is missing Docc Hilford's E'Voque, which is a very important perspective you should have in mind. Multiple Outs is a technique in and of it's own.

    Looking for some Hardhitting Mentalism Routines

    Don't just Read through the book, spend time with it! STUDY! I was joking with Peter just last night about how I torture my books -- I tear them up by highlighting, margin notes, etc. unless you were a fan of mine, wanting to get insight as to how my brain works, my library is essentially...

    impromptu surrounded everyday objects tricks ?

    First of all any effect can be "Killer" IF YOU make it such; it's not the trick it's all up to you and how you execute it. Secondly, I'm better on a hunch here, but you probably haven't invested a great deal of time into learning your slight-of-hand, have you? Had you done such, even if it's...

    What is cold reading?

    I'm curious as to all the people that responded to this question, which one's actually do Readings (let alone having written numerous books on the subject)? First and foremost -- DON'T TOUCH the Ian Rowland book or a book entitled TRADECRAFT until you have actually studied Cold Reading from the...

    Just A Thought

    Several of us have tried to get the Powers That Be to create separate forums that focus on the various niches within magic vs. the hodgepodge situation we have i.e. Mentalism, Escapes, Children's Shows, etc. and it has all been resisted and these are all magic related themes. The PTB however...

    Important question for the hobbyist or worker...

    Don't worry about how many "tricks" you can learn but more, how many techniques you can focus on and master first. Technique is far more important that single effects. But, as Rick has mentioned, it's just a matter of time and getting a taste of the various avenues that magic has; cards, coins...

    Looking for some Hardhitting Mentalism Routines

    Ok, it sounds as if you're drawn towards the Old School thinking of mentalism which, in my book, is a good thing; we are the Readers and the one's that walk that thin line between Charlatan and Thespian. For starters, you need to learn the basics and that means working your way through Corinda...

    Impossible Bottle

    I realize that, Christopher I was going on about his terrible grammar. . . but when it comes to the item, it seems he's fishing for information so he can do things on the cheap.

    Brainstorming and jam sessions are an excellent way to earn your chops and cultivate a reputation within the industry. But based on what you describe I'd suggest you submit it as an article to established publications such as the LINKING RINGS, MUM, MAGIC, etc. Hell, let me see it and if I...

    Impossible Bottle

    I really hope English isn't your primary language. . you seriously tortured things in this post by using the wrong words in the wrong places; it makes it difficult for intelligent folks to decipher what you're actually getting at. Like others, I think you're fishing for insight on an existing...

    Great 70's manipulator!! Do you know who he is?

    I believe this is the late 1960s not the 70s (note the hair styles of people in the audience). I do remember the act but I can't remember the name.

    How many people here trample their own effects?

    I think you're right and you are also right about Paul's book, one that Jeff McBride is using as a bible in his training classes, so Paul must be saying something right (I think I need to read it again). The majority of performers today present magic as if they need to prove themselves in some...

    New Creators

    Many years ago I wrote an article about over-night genius types that had been involved with magic for less than 2 years and thought they were educated enough to develop "new" magic. While a few exceptions exist 99% of these people fail horribly and become laughing stocks. . . I'm certain that's...
