Did anything ever happen to you that took you by complete surprise during your show that just caught you off gaurd, maybe even left you totally stunned. I will give an example; during a show at a night club I was doing magic and a few balloons, and a gentleman who was having a good time wanted to tr...

Seuss are you saying it is to late for a bad joke?

I don't know if fire wallets are a great investment but I hear real estate is sound...but take my advise stay away from GM I hear it is a bit shaky these days!

Tommy wonder's Magic Ranch is one I have to say has done very well for me!

Todd I am looking for a shell to match my set of soft coins, mine are very worn do you think you can accomodate them. They are 1918 walking liberty.

No these were a gift to my grandfather he knew Charlie!

no I am not I just happened across the topic twice and thought I would share my view on the balls themselves.

Try black automotive touch up, it comes in a small bottle at autozone and has a small brush inside the cap.

I have been performng the cups and balls for about 24 years now. I believe I have the best cups in the world...I have a set of Charlie Millers cups, when I say Charlie Millers cups I mean they were actually Charlie's cups! That aside I believe they were the best cups made...but do you? I want to kno...

Try Official Monkey Nutz, they make a set called Chopped Monkey Nutz they solve all the problems you have spoke of...I bought a set and they are awesome.

J. Burk Whittaker has a great Zarrow shuffle variant in his lecture. It is a full blind shuffle, you do not use a table as it is all done in the hands, and you can burn the hands and still not catch it...marvelous!

A spectator should really never be aware that a cup has a magnet in it, wood, metal, or leather means nothing. In truth most Chop Cups look like magic props. Think about it when was the last time you went to a bar and got your drink in a cup that looked like a Chop cup....Exactly! This being said pe...

The HanXamean Approach to the Three Shell game is a great E-book with loadz of useful material.

Though the cards are not gaffed per say, Cardboard Chameleon is an outstanding routine with a lot of magical happenings!

I have a set of four, they are nice but mine did start to loose thier paint after about three weeks. I perform 5 nights a week at my gigs and they have taken a beating. I use them often but they do handle well, I would not say they are better than Johnson, almost as good. I do have a Johnson coin fo...

I am not sure what this item is called but I believe it was from Presley Guitar, I have had it for years and got it used from a friend. It is a small key wallet, the card ends up folded inside. the routine is very strong and the card being folded adds to the mystery greatly!

Sorry but good old fashion Copper Silver, you can't go wrong!
