I found this update from Scott Tokar and am copying and pasting: From Jayne Daniels- Dana Daniels - Update - We want to thank the magic community for the overwhelming love, support and prayers for my husband Dana. Gratefully, he is home now and recovering from a stroke and pneumonia. Initially, the ...

I hosted Dana way back in 2005 for a performance in my community. He did a great job and was an absolute joy to work with. Funny as can be! My thoughts and prayers go out for him and Jayne.

Too many card tricks!

You may have not heard of Ron, but he was a member of the IBM and FCM. IBM Ring 219 is named the Bob Hurt/Ron London Ring. Ron was a founding member, and his name was added in 2014, prior to his death. Here is the link to a very unique 5-minute long YouTube video, It is unique in that in it you will...

Wonderful story!

I wonder if a mentalist was consulted about the wisdom of using this effect? I doubt it, as I think that most would have predicted that a prediction at the Oscars would be a fail.

Terry_Holley

Anyone here own one of these pens? If so, have you found a use for it in an effect? I see they are available from a number of online sellers.

Interesting that I just finished watching a 1981 episode of "Hart to Hart" starring Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers that Harry Blackstone Jr. appeared in as an evil magician. At the end, one of the other characters named "Max" (can't remember the actor) performed a card trick ...

SPOILER ALERT! I just watched tonight's episode. The understanding of the methodology was a needed aspect of how they moved through the story, but they may have been able to pursue a different path if they had thought that exposure is "wrong.".

Terry_Holley

Hello, Marty. I am wondering if you perform illusions?

Terry_Holley

Thank you for the response, Max. I look forward to hearing more about it all. I believe the segment in question could have been portrayed without the exposure. It was a flashback to "The Masked Magician."

Terry_Holley

I agree with Jonathan. So the exposure goes "unnoticed" by the The Academy of Magical Arts, Inc., and the greater magic community in general? From looking at the Academy website I see that NPH is no longer President as I believe he was in 2012 . If he hasn't already, maybe Max Maven can sp...

Grant's "Cheek to Cheek" is a rip-off of Theodore DeLand's trick "Inverto." Date put on the market: 1914. "Inverto" was the first trick known in the United States in which a double-backed card was used in combination with a deck of cards, and only the second trick in w...

I saw Penn & Teller on this morning's The Late Late Show with Drew Carey. From what I can tell they did the card trick, "Cheek to Cheek." I was surprised that they used such an old marketed trick, one I've used for over 25 years I believe, but they had a really awesome presentation. Te...

Yes, I read the article but am wondering how the show is being received by others in the magic community.

Terry_Holley

So is anyone watching this?

Thanks

Yes, I believe he said it was Robert Lewis Michaels.

Starts with clips from Blaine's TV show but doesn't interview him other than him making a few comments. Then it moves into covering and interviewing Copperfield.

Terry_Holley

1 hour 22 minutes into the show Blaine appears on a commercial and says, "I'm David Blaine, catch me later on Nightline." Beats me!

Terry_Holley

After Blaine's show tonight they reported it would be Blaine on Nightline! We'll know for sure in about 35 minutes!

Thank you for the tremendous sale, Richard.

I'm not sure if I'm "late to the party," but here is the video. I didn't see it posted here (maybe for good reasons)! Simply tasteless to me, but by saying that I might be violating "Banachek's Magicians Pledge."

Two posts above I mentioned a Super Bowl prediction effect made available for free by Trickshop.com a couple years ago. They have done the same this year. You can download it at: <a class="postlink" href="http://trickshop.com/shop/predict-the-superbowl">http://trickshop.com/shop/predict-th...

Saw him a year ago in OH. Paid $50 for front row tickets. 10 minutes before showtime there were probably less than 100 people in audience. Announcement was made for everyone to feel free to move up closer to stage! So my friends who paid $15, sat a few rows behind me! Good for them! Great show, and ...
