Re: Gypsy Thread
I use a variety of threads & fibers... You can end clean and without the need for any gimmicks or lapping: I usually perform it standing up. I end my routine by spreading the restored thread between my two open hands and presenting it to a spectator. I tell them to keep it forever. Most of the t...

Re: Gregg Webb preparing new magic trilogy
I've had conversations with Gregg about this... He favors the most direct method to an effect, applied at the right time. But this does not mean his favored moves are necessarily easy to do. I've had the pleasure of watching him slay spectators and have been blown away by the artistry of his hidden ...

Re: More on Bob Cassidy
This is a good effect, Gregg. A performer could sell it as remote viewing, which is hot. Even sketch the basic look of the person on a pad and then verbally describe the finer details as the spectator concentrates more and more on the selected photo. Very nice -- this is an up-to-date idea, owing to...
