    How to make a card pad

    Woah, doing an effect that requires any table space is wasted effort. That's a new one Sure I think he has things that I might consider out of date now, but I don't think I would consider a lot of his views to be out dated. Maybe a slim minority of his opinions

    ok - this abuse needs to end.

    Blaireau, thanks for being one of very few who are actually understanding what I'm trying to get at here and taking it seriously. I'm not trying to subtly whine about Pick up artists, actually by having the basic philosophy explained to me, I'm -dare I say- in favor of the core values. Do you...

    ok - this abuse needs to end.

    I think some people are missing the point- this isn't about pick up artists and the principle of it. It's about someone selling other people's effects and magicians principles to the public. The target market just happens to be pick up artists. There are magicians who perform regularly in...

    ok - this abuse needs to end.

    "I don't want to live on this planet anymore." Before you click the link I'm going to post, here's a disclaimer. I used to be very against self proclaimed "PUAs" (Pick up artists) and for the most part, I still am. However, very similar to magic, PUA has been given a very bad reputation...

    Food For Thought

    Daniel Garcia posted about this on his twitter a while back, he said something like - young magicians used to dream of having their own show and being a great magician, now they dream about being a creator and having a DVD out. It's hard for me to consider people who don't perform magic...

    Being a student of magic...

    I'd be interested to hear what brought you to post this Will. I realized this almost a year ago to the day - actually when I had the pleasure of seeing you and Paul perform at AX last year. I had spent a lot of time working on sleights and refining technique, but barely ever worked on...

    Hidden Gems

    "hidden gems" are mainly based on perspective. I love some of the "gems" that I've found, but that's because they work so well for me. As soon as I read the effect I knew that I could pull it off my own way, I feel super comfortable with executing the sleights in front of a lay audience, and I...

    Which cards are worth buying now?

    I'm a huge fan of bicycle gold seals, they're great cards. However if you do a lot of folding and signing in your magic then get regular bikes. They don't last for weeks, but they won't dissolve in your hands during a performance. I practice with gold seals and split spades but I open up a...

    Book Recommendation - "Sleights of Mind"

    I saw the presentation about this book at magic con. It got some interesting feedback from magicians. The book isn't written by magicians, they don't seem to understand magic principles and basic magic theory. They explain some extremely basic biological psychology and make some interesting...

    Why is this is a male-dominated industry?

    The work "illusionists" do is all under the direction of the instructions, they can have zero knowledge of presentation, sleight of hand and showmanship and be an illusionist just by being litterate. I wouldn't consider illusionists magicians either. It depends on the standards you go by...

    Why is this is a male-dominated industry?

    A very legitimate question. I only know a few female magicians. Looking at it in a wider scope, entertainment in general has been a male dominated genre for a long time. Fortunately that's changing. There could be many reasons and contributing factors that have affected this - and I...

    Kids birthday show problem

    Well, some lessons are best learned the hard way. I've been in similar positions, not this bad, but where I've had to make drastic changes to shows on the eleventh hour - so I'll help you as much as I can. Here's my nugget for kids shows - I make the birthday kid the "magician". I buy them a...

    Invented New Card/Rubiks Cube Trick

    I agree with D ICE R, there's no connect between the cube and the cards. In all honesty the whole effect might come off as you having far too much time on your hands. It just seems like a "hey look what I can do" trick rather than anything else. That's simply because there is no logic for...

    Control I've been performing with.

    Hey Nick, good stuff man. Shoot me a PM so we can session sometime. I'll show you some of the things I've been working on - It's been a while eh?

    Artifact Coins?

    Meh, I'm just not a huge fan of the faces of these coins. They honestly look like arcade tokens. The back looks alright though. The upside is that they're cheaper than actual coins (The dollar size at least) so they make good practice pieces for people working on new routines. Other than...

    Dan Hauss+Blake Vogt+PaperCrane=?

    Blake showed me this gimmick at Magic-Con. It's a versatile card gimmick - based on an idea by Dan Hauss. Although Dan had released it, Blake has completely revamped the idea to where it's almost unrecognizable from Dan's version. That's why it's a collaboration, because it's technically Dan's...

    Ideas for performing in front of a class

    He wants patter help linking the effects together. I'm not super familliar with shuffle board/bored. You could use a table if you're worried about angle problems. It would force people to stand or sit in seats rather than under your performance.
