    Dan White's 3 Impromptu Magic Items

    Just saw this on iTricks. Good picks from Dan. Not including cards mine would be Loops, QB2, and an Imp Pad. What are your three (not including cards)?

    Yes. When Teller performs he has a script, but he does not make use of "patter."

    Blaine: OK, guys, I think I have the presentation worked out for that effect. How does this sound: (ahem!) "Look. Watch. Watch. Come here and look. Watch"? Garcia: I don't know. I think starting with "watch" instead of "look" first might be a better opening statement. Then move into "look."...

    Without supporting the statement, just saying "I don't think patter equals script at all" means nothing. Not saying I agree or disagree, but rather your simply stated philosophy--without anything to stand on--can only be left to interpretation.

    Forgetting Tricks

    Years ago I created a list of everything I knew. Then I whittled it down to the absolute best of the best and decided to stick to it. I carried the list with me for a while, and looked at it regularly as a guide to remind myself of what I was sticking to until that handful of effects became...

    "Think of a Card" (Before You Read)

    Have you seen The Manchurian Candidate? ;)

    "Ho hum"? Not sure what that was supposed to communicate. Perhaps an attempt to convey your own arrogance and/or flippancy toward what I wrote? You are a success, my friend. Anyhow, if you disagree, have a discussion with Blaine some time, as what I wrote was his example, and his observation of...

    It's the wrong thing to do if it doesn't work. Reinvention and revolution is always out of the box. Dai Vernon once wrote the worst thing you could do was present a magic effect without "patter." A guy named David Blaine read that and disagreed and ended up revolutionizing magic. So do your own...

    Telephone Mentalist pieces

    Banachek also has a cd on telephone and radio mentalism you may want to also give a look.

    Telephone Mentalist pieces

    "Heptagon+" by Patrick Redford. Top notch material, and you can use quite a few of the pieces live with people as well. Highly recommended.

    What is this card trick called?

    Different effect and method, but similar in plot. Prime Cut was put out by Paul Vigil. Spectator names any card, magician holds the deck, spectator cuts to their card. I use this regularly. Good effect. Welcome :)

    What is this card trick called?

    If you're talking about this video, the effect is "Mnemonicosis" by Juan Tamariz (from his book Mnemonica) with a perfect hit. Good effect. You'll get a perfect hit more often than you'd think. Even if you don't hit it perfect, though, the spectator will never know as you get to the card they...

    What can I do with magicians wax?

    Magician's wax is for twisting yourself a magical mysterious mustache.

    Best Magic Release of 2011

    I didn't get it but have a friend who did, and I couldn't help but wonder--couldn't a crimp accomplish the same thing?

    Best Magic Release of 2011

    I didn't buy much this year as far as magic goes, as not much excited me enough to get my wallet out this year, as well as I have enough stuff I already own keeping me busy as it is. There were some notable releases though this year: Richard Sanders' Ultra Gum, Garrett Thomas's Stand Up Monte...

    Tasty impromptu card magic?

    FASDIU and FASDIU II by Paul Cummins for good sleight-of-hand based impromptu card magic. If you just want something difficult for the sake of being difficult you can't go wrong with Ray Kosby's Impossible Card Magic. Happy Magic

    Smoke question..

    Yikes--Big Brother really has a firm grasp on you. Scary. Luckily, though, you're wrong. I've gotten my Smoke gimmick through several times. Never worried about it. Twice on international flights as well. Just throw it in your carry-on and you're fine. If you're worried about it, take the...

    "Limited" trend is shocking

    Sounds to me like there's some self-created victims of consumerism here. Here's my advice: 1. Stop collecting cards. (I'd even suggest not to collect anything, but that's a separate topic.) Buy something for its practical function, not the make-believe value you're projecting onto it. If a...
