    cap in beer bottle?

    Prohibition is great. Borrow the bottle and cap, and create magic. The cap can be signed and put in the bottle so it's stuck and can't come out. Great effect.

    DVDs for Double, Force, Pass, & Control.

    The cull is a force and a control and is easily rendered invisible. Check out Kostya Kimlat's Roadrunner Cull DVD, both 1 & 2. Greg Wilson's Double Take is still the best place to learn a variety of double lifts. As for the pass, the best place to start as far DVDs go is definitely Pass With...

    The Supernaturalist :: TONIGHT on Discovery

    One of the things I really liked about how the magic was presented was how Dan was using his magic to advance his quest, entertaining people in hopes to get them to open up and talk to him so he could find what he was looking for. Great storytelling.

    The Supernaturalist :: TONIGHT on Discovery

    As far as effects go I liked Smoke and Forbidden. Both of those just felt very real. What I really liked was how the show told a quest story, and how the host was a magician looking for something that was truly mystical. Good angle that made for a good special. Hope it gets picked...

    Forbidden by Dan Hauss

    I went to buy this last night and apparently it's been taken off the market. :(

    Saturday Night Contest - Fool Us! (EMC Prize!)

    Still doesn't make any sense, my friend. You're just specifying a broader statement, not altering its original meaning. Not a big deal--just thought it should be pointed out for the sake of good grammar and kittens. :) I was able to restrain myself from commenting on all the other grammar...

    Daniel Madison and Mathieu Bich on P&T's Fool Us

    Here's Mathieu Bich's performance for those who haven't seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-rDXweytac I thought it was an interesting puzzle, but it didn't seem very magical. Still, there are places for different types of mysteries in the art of magic, and this one got a great reaction...

    Saturday Night Contest - Fool Us! (EMC Prize!)

    Daniel Madison is from the UK. Can't invade your own country, buddy.

    Daniel Madison and Mathieu Bich on P&T's Fool Us

    Daniel Madison's performance was very good. Pretty straight forward with what he did, but he did it so well. Owners of the Dangerous DVD that T11 put out that are still scared of the bold move frequently used in Madison's work saw him put his name on his words with this performance by doing the...

    Poster Ideas

    The main suggestion I have for you is change "Magician & Entertainer." Separating them suggests a magician is not an entertainer and that they are two separate things. It also conveys that magic in itself is not a form of entertainment. Also, "Magician" is very specific while "Entertainer" is...

    Psypher Idea

    As alex and prae have already said, for the effect in question signing the card is pointless. Having them do so is bad structuring and will only make you look silly to an intelligent audience.

    Would you buy an Ebook?

    If the information is good, whether it's an eBook or not is more or less a non-factor in my opinion. I rarely buy eBooks, but the few I have--namely Paul Vigil's Diplopia and Anthony Jacquin's Reality is Plastic--have been more than worth it. My decision to buy or not buy either had nothing to...

    How do I introduce a Gimmicked deck?

    You need to do a deck switch so that they think the gimmicked deck introduced is the same deck that was used previously in other effects that they were handling, shuffling, etc. If you like to use Shadow Masters, then you need to accept that any new deck introduced that doesn't look the same...

    WH's T&R on sale. Limited to 100. I bought mine!

    I'd heard about Counterfeit Hollingworth from Wayne's lectures for a while. So I was excited to see it when he finally came down and lectured in my area. It surpassed what I had hope for. I use this all the time now. Best T&R Card in my opinion. Visual, great angels, very clean and fair looking...

    Performing to Penn and Teller!

    Congratulations, Jack! You have good reason to be very proud of yourself. Even more impressive is that you're 12 and obviously quite talented for your age. Keep up the good work, man. You're only going to get better. Wish I had had your skills when I was 12. :)

    looking for a useful card technique for stacking selections

    I agree with TheatreHead and TeeDee as the Bluff Pass being the best option. It's clear and concise in method and conveys what you want it to. Perhaps it feels uncomfortable at first, but you replied saying so just a few hours after the Bluff Pass was suggested. Why not spend some time...

    Humming Card Endangered?

    I think most everyone is against it in general. The difference lies in how against it anyone is. Personally it doesn't bother me all that much as the Hummer Card has been hocked at kiosks in malls and even airports for over a decade now, and the impact of the exposure has been quite minimal...

    Unexaminable Objects?

    This is a good topic for discussion. Here are some of my thoughts and tips on this magical dilemma: 1. Put the unexaminable gimmick in their hands on your terms whenever possible. For example, asking a participant to open their hand and putting the gimmick in their open palm before the effect...

    What happened to Split Spades Lions?

    These were the only custom cards I'd ever used that I could actually appreciate the difference in how they handled. I still prefer good 'ole fashion bikes, but I did like using the Lions for practice. Hope to see these again in the future.
