    Classic effects

    I don't think it's possible to ever have a grasp on all of it! So much to learn! ;) Rev

    Food Magic

    A few off the top of my head: Healed and Sealed Sponge Bananas (can be used in any sponge ball routine) Vanishing Coke Bottle (or it's many variations) There is a trick in Art of Astonishment where you unscrew an apple and then put it back together again (yeah...seriously...) Just a few ideas...

    Classic effects

    A bit of background on the Ace Problem: http://www.geniimagazine.com/magicpedia/Hofzinser_Ace_Problem Looks like Hofzinser never actually published it, and the whole thing is a bit of an urban legend. There is a also a whole list of versions of the plot. I have another trick on my Youtube...

    Classic effects

    Hi All Just a couple more videos for your perusal! This time, handlings of two classic effects, namely 'Hofzinser's Ace Problem' and Roy Walton's 'Oil and Queens' Not My Problem This is pretty vanilla handling of the effect, but the one thing I've added is the use of John Carey's handling...

    Show and Tell

    This pretty much sums it up for me. There is also a shelf of DVDs above the books, but it is the books which are a constant source of inspiration.

    Where can I learn Magicians choice???(card force)

    As far as beginners mentalism/mental magic goes, you can't go wrong with Max Maven! His book 'Prism' is one of my favourites. The other option is Richard Osterlind. His style is very different to Maven's. To me he comes across less 'theatrical' than Maven (just compare their appearances!) but...

    Where can I learn Magicians choice???(card force)

    I only do card magic, but I still feel it benefits my magic education to study other areas as well. I think this is good advice for everyone. By all means specialise, but when your a beginner it's good to get a nice broad foundation. Rev

    Where can I learn Magicians choice???(card force)

    Having just seen this, if it is in fact The Classic Force you want to learn then Casey is spot on. 'Card College' is the way to go. It's also in 'Royal Road to Card Magic', but you've mentioned previously that English is not you first language, so the somewhat archaic writing style might be a...

    Where can I learn Magicians choice???(card force)

    Magician's choice, or Equivoque if you want to be fancy, is not really a card force. It's more of a way of interpreting peoples words and actions in order to make it look like they have a free choice, but really lead them to make the decision you want. Going by the numerous posts you have made...

    Magic/Cardistry New Years Resolutions

    My main resolution is to finally get my ebook out. I love writing magic as much as I love learning it, but it feels like I've been writing this book forever! I have had few items published in magazines over the last year and a half but now I feel like I'm ready to finally publish a bunch of...

    Some tricks I've created

    It's not. My wife has two signed card origami frogs, given to her by two different magicians on two separate occasions. In fact, search for 'Frog Prince' by Michael Close. Same trick, same idea, much better handling. Rev

    Other way to make a invisible deck

    Instead of roughing spray try looking into a roughing stick: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/5713 I don't have any experience with either, but just throwing the suggestion out there. Rev

    Is the control original

    In a word: No In a few more words: The first part is slightly badly handled, but mechanically it is basically the same as the Overhand Lift Shuffle (Royal Road to Card Magic, chapter 9) The second part essentially looks like your just retaining the top and bottom cards in position. Again...

    A couple of card tricks

    Thanks again. Maybe one day I'll consider submitting some stuff to The Wire. Not sure my style is very 'Theory 11'so I don't know if they'll go for it, but perhaps we'll see... Rev

    A couple of card tricks

    Thanks Man. Funnily enough, my original ending was to produce the four Aces, which could then be used for something else. I just decided to use the fours for this video to fit in with the whole 'number' theme. Rev

    A couple of card tricks

    Hi All! It’s been a while since i’ve posted anything (busy with accountancy exams…ugh), but I just thought I’d share a couple of routines I’ve been playing with. Apologies for the 'darkness' of the videos, but I only decided to film these at nearly midnight last night! Jackass This is a...

    Mastermind Deck vs. One Way Force?

    I'm not familiar with the Mastermind Deck, but a one way force deck doesn't do anything specific. It's simply a deck where all the cards the same. There's nothing gimmicked about it nor does it do any specific tricks or routines. Rev

    What is the best ACAAN?

    Ollie doesn't sell a lot of his stuff either. I doubt he has this routine for sale. Both of those guys have studied a lot of magic/mentalism, so chances are they're just applied techniques learned through their years of study. Rev

    What is the best ACAAN?

    You seem quite determined to get an opinion on Mr Turner's ACAAN. As far as I know it's not for sale, so no-one is going to have an opinion on it. Rev

    Anyone familiar with An Ha Lim?

    Random spot of the day: Just spotted that An Ha Lim was on the cover of the August 2010 issue of Genii magazine. Not sure if you'll be able to track down a copy, but if you do it's bound to have some sort of biography or interview with him. Rev
