Re: To wand or not to wand?

Myself I like to use a wand, but obviously this "stick" can get in the way of most magic. I have found having a wand that breaks down is a real novelty in this situation. I have people often chuckle at the point when I break it down like a pool que. I also like the almost "tribute&quo...

To wand or not to wand?

I have a question; do you use a wand?

Re: What is your favorite magic trick?

Ambitious card, it is a classic. It is one of the best due to its impromptu nature. I then end it using a routine call Ultra astonish-mint!

Seeking Daryl's printing effect

Some years ago Daryl(?) put out a printing routine. This is not the newer version I believe is called Printings. This I'm thinking involved a selection printing everything it touched ie the case, the scewed face of another card, a piece of green fabric, etc. I want to know if it is still available a...

Re: Brandon Hall's Cups and Balls

I have to agree with mike, try to relax just a bit. Check out the thoughts of Tony Slydini when it comes to your loading.
