    1) I'm not sure how either of those would be good things. 2) At the risk of bringing in how many people for whom this site (and magic) will be nothing more than a pleasant diversion. Something that allows them to say, next time YOU are doing a show, "Yeah, I used to do some magic. Here, let me...

    Advertising theory11 - Poster

    What makes you think that true? 1) Magic clubs have had membership drives for years. They almost never result in long term membership increases and seldom if ever attract skilled performers. Instead they get laymen who have had a passing interest in magic? 2) How are you planning on...

    SAM, Magic, and Genii

    The MUM used to be the worst magazine in Magic. Moehring took over and made it an excellent resource. Now Mike Close is in charge and while I have only seen a couple of the issues he has produced, I have faith he his delivering the absolute most he can with the budget he has to work with. I...

    Creator's Confusion

    Many of the people who sell magic tricks to the community are not performers. They do not make their living performing magic for lay audiences. Their careers consist of creating magic which appeals to a magician's sensibilities and selling those. I can't think of a single successful, working...

    Looking for rubber band magic books

    Elastrix was written by Ed Mishell and Abe Hurwitz.For many years was the primary printed source on rubber band tricks. Copies are available from Dennymagic.com. Rindfliesch published elastrix vol 2. There were some isolated band effects in print. Crazy Man's Handcuff's, however, deserves to...

    Magic counselor needed!

    I can attest that the offer is legitimate. I built the magic program at this facility into the largest non-dedicated magic program in the world. (By non-dedicated, I mean this is not a "magic camp". It is a high end summer camp with a magic program that attracts kids with various levels of...

    Books or DVD's?

    The reason you are replying is because you care about magic and discussing the means of best learning it are important. Sorry I have been away - am trying to cut back ont he typing I do on the blackberry. But here is my issue - and it is almost a semantic one. you are claiming that...

    Books or DVD's?

    The fact that magicians throughout history have been able to read the same printed words (flawed though they may have been) and still manage to figure out not only how to do a move but to do the move in a similar if not exact manner suggests to me that dvds are not offering anything inherently...

    Books or DVD's?

    No need to beg. But this is the part I take issue with. A good writer (who is wise in their choice of illustrations) can offer an equally easy learning tool as those offered on dvd. Now. You may not have encounter many examples of this. That's understandable.there are a lot of crappy...

    Books or DVD's?

    This is patently untrue. I am sent dozens of dvds each month. Rarely are the explanations more clear than contemporary examples of printed instructions. In fact, because less thought is required to produce them, they are usually more UNclear than a well printed comparable source. (They are...

    The Best of the Best - The Ultimate

    I use a new deck every show. With bikes in bulk you can easily afford to do that. As to the queen of spades gaff - apparently most people have just never looked closely at what they hold in their hand everyday! For those who need a more direct reference, check out The Gypsy Woman from The...

    The Best of the Best - The Ultimate

    There is no such thing as a 'professional deck of cards.'. You are the victim of marketing hype. (Some card rooms prefer a plastic kem type card, but for reasons having nothing to do with our requirements.) Sure some cards are thicker than others or have different finishes, but ultimately...

    Decisions!

    This presumes that you 'yourself' are indeed likable. Ammar used to joke that for a lot of guys the LAST thing they should do is be 'themselves' in performance. I think we often confuse being yourself with being natural. I am sure jeffrey dahmer was being himself as he was eating...

    UK Based Modern/Underground Magicians Wanted!

    How do you define 'modern, underground magician?' Is the modern underground magician different from an underground magician of say 20 years ago? Of so, how? If not, why do you use that already used and established name? Is underground something someone can just call themselves or is there a...

    What is this trick called?

    Draven, Your problem, again, is in assuming that everything is about you. I was - and I have been throughout this entire thread (until now)- speaking to the larger issues and not the specifics of any one trick or idea (in spite of the way you have continually interpreted it.) I am not...
