    Dynamo mobile phone in glass bottle?

    Heya Guys! I've seen Dynamo perform this, and it is in his new series on watch, but I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find it to perform it. I can't find a video link on youtube despite looking, but basically you borrow a mobile phone and a glass bottle, and you slam both of...

    Basic Stage Magic Ideas?

    Pete Firman used to do a comedy bit where he made a Ritz cracker disappear which I use every now and then. What angle are you going for? Comedy or serious? Simon_Magic

    Human Blockhead?

    Casey I perform this stunt often. It is dangerous. There is however another option if you are that bothered about doing it in the form of a gimmicked nail that I believe was brought out by Viking. You should be able to pick one up second hand for around £20. Talking about Glass Walking, I'm...

    Why not use misdirection

    A brilliant example of misdirection is Card to Mouth or Card to Forehead. I perform both regularly and never get caught. Sometimes I mess up with my cards but still don't get caught. Misdirection over Technical Skill any day, but to be able to perform misdirection well you need the technical...

    My new website

    Looks awesome man! One thing I might say, just because I've been there and done it, is does your website reflect you? It is a brilliant website and really nice, but it gives the air of a mysterious performer, or a classy performer. If this is your style then brilliant! If not then its giving...

    Hidden Gems

    Old Genii Magazines and Abra Cadabra Magazines are brilliant. I'm always finding new things! Just found an amazing concept for a bank night routine that I haven't seen else where! Simon_Magic

    Marketing… what do you want to know?

    How do you know a good contact that will book you from someone who is just really into what you do? and when it comes to corporate work, how do you know which companies to contact. Is it worth getting in with a hotel to try and get them to work with you when it comes to events they have booked...

    Are We Ever Satisfied?

    I must admit, I have just had a mini splurge on buying stuff, but that doesn't happen often. It was to buy things for my new stage show I am looking to put together. I knew most of the stuff I wanted to do, but just bought some more rope, a ring, a MASSIVE sketch pad and I think thats it. I'm...

    Penn & Teller "Fool Us" 2011 - EP 1

    Not really. John Archer won it last time with a Bank Night routine. It was the method behind it that they couldn't work out, and you could actually buy the trick before it went on Penn and Teller, they just mustn't have bought it lol. Benjamin Earl also got through last time, but he's awesome...

    Penn & Teller "Fool Us" 2011 - EP 1

    Someone did I remember. I know I auditioned and was told my magic was beautiful but unoriginal. Romany, Diva Of Magic is on on the 9th July I think, and I know Alan Rorrison is on it soon. They mainly look for stage acts I think, but close up stuff does get through. Simon_Magic

    How do I introduce a Gimmicked deck?

    I use 2 normal decks, but I wreck one of them (as in I get cards signed and give them out at the end of the trick), so I use the full deck to do a few tricks, then I do something completely different like spoon bending or pressure so I can get rid of the deck. I then take out the ruined deck and...

    Help, Benji! Business of Restaurants

    Some of my magicing buddies over here in the UK go into the bars and perform for the staff first. Then the staff go and rave about them to the general manager so when you pop in next the manager actually wants to see you and what you do. Just a thought :-) Simon_Magic

    Freak Show Promo Vid!

    Thanks for all the help Benji :-) When I did my audition for BGT I didn't think to ask for the footage, and it was in 2009 so I'm not sure if they would still have the footage available to me or even who I would contact about it. Probably a bad thing I haven't done yet is buy a video camera...

    Freak Show Promo Vid!

    Heya Guys! Thanks for the help :-) I am performing just one show, but currently because I perform at burlesque nights and they only require 5-10 minutes per act, I haven't had my whole act filmed yet in full. Currently my show is growing as I realise what it is that I want to do, and I've...

    Freak Show Promo Vid!

    Basically its for the general market. I made it very quickly from video's I already had to send to a guy who wanted to look at my showreel to book me for a freak show. As it is not up to standard yet (which I have heard from magicians as well as normal folk) I haven't sent it yet. I thought it...
