I had a great time at Magic Live when we went in 2007. I would have gone in a heartbeat this time but I must go to a wedding in Italy... bummer :-) When I found out it was in 2009 instead of three years later, like I expected, I was a little disappointed I was going to miss it. Magic Live is great f...

I personnaly have a great fondness for slush powder. I won a talent show with a Water Monte act. Trust me it fools people. It is white, so if you use a plastic cup with a white inside you can possibly show an empty cup or turn it upsidedown that convinces people. What about a cup switch? Watch Tim E...

Nevermind...

I haven't watched the show yet, I am so mad I missed the Pendragons but I have seen a sword swallower in the commercials for it, does anyone know who it is?

I think John Bannon is brilliant, if I could, I would be his groupie!

the elimination: Every act on that stage had a clear, coherent, engaging through-line...except for Hal's (wtf does a candle have to do with a marshmallow?)... I agree with you. I think most people when they are putting together an act have this problem. Too bad Kim was butting heads with Murray. He...

My two cents... The University Book Store in Madison used to stock Genii and Magic magazines, and a wide variety of top-notch magic publications. They no longer do. They still sell Magic books, just not in the same area where they were before. They have newer books from what I have been noticing. I...

True, he did change his mind but it might have just been for the camera. I do recall him saying something about the magic of giving birth or some such nonesense... I still think his ego is the size of Manhattan and I never really cared for his act... Maybe that is because I used to have to clean up ...

I'm embarrased to say I have only seen one episode but I will be trying to watch it again or online. My problem with Kimberly is that she narrated everything she was doing with the teeth. One of things I instructed my students, when I was teaching magic, is don't talk so much. I also didn't think th...

I didn't want to start a "cafe" type thread here but after reading the 10 funniest acts I really felt I needed to throw in my two cents. First of all, two of the funniest acts I have ever seen didn't even make the top 31: The Flicking Fingers and Simon Lovell! I could maybe understand peop...

I was sad to see him go. Although I knew he wouldn't make it past a few weeks I didn't expect him to get kicked off first. Anyway I noticed this on MSN this morning <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23835894/">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23835894/</a><!-- m --> Happy Fr...

For those of you who didn't watch or just want to know, Penn did a good job tonight. Teller was cheering him on from the front row. He was out first for the night and his dance was the Cha-Cha. Penn obviously had a good time but he really needs to work on his footwork, his overall score for the nigh...

I've been here a year and haven't found much yet.
I still haven't gone to Appleton, although hopefully I will go when it gets warmer. If you do find anything magic in the area can you let me know, I have been going through magic withdrawl.

You are telling me, you aren't the least bit curious to see Penn, a very tall, broad shouldered kind of guy, move around the dance floor? I can't wait. Personnally I think he will need all the votes he can get. Nothing about Penn seems graceful to me. I do wonder what made him agree to do the show. ...
