The matrix levitation....

Just sitting at a Mcdonald's before a gig using wifi and started thinking about the effects I've wanted to do for a while. I have a lean illusion and think I can adapt it for a matrix suspension.... Anyone else try this before I kill myself? I have some ideas and wonder if there's any reference sour...

Re: Psychometry

I fully support people expanding magic.... Good job on working on your own methods and props, try corindas 13 steps for methods of identifying objects through covert means. Mind myth and magic has a huge psychometry section but is more esoteric imnho. The following step would be to track down a seam...

Re: a question about Ethics in Mentalism

You know I've been thinking about this more and more.... Didn't Houdini convince the heathens of Africa to believe he was a real shaman.... Didn't he also convince people his son levitated due to the mystical powers of ether? If a presentation or pseudo science depends a performance, what's wrong? E...

Re: a question about Ethics in Mentalism

In the end where are you performing? A church? When I go see wicked, I know the witches aren't real.... If they came out and said you know I'm not actually a witch, I don't have magic, I can't fly on a broom, oz is a mythical place creat by Baum (I think it was), and now watch me pretend to do magic...

Re: First show gone to SHAT!

I would point them out, and make them realize they were ruining the show and then use them in the routine, making them know how stupid they sounded. Then sent them back and ask them to continue the debate outside where the audience wouldnt hear....

Re: Performing for Mentally Challenged Adults

I am the house magish at americas oldest magic bar the safe-house in Milwaukee. Sometimes I walk into a situation where there will be a mentally challenged/autistic kid and its difficult.

Re: A question about cold reading

I've notice all humans are 94% alike one thing that we all feel will apply to almost anyone, especially if you frame it with some outs as knepper teaches. I still love tradecraft and gail sheehy's passages. Those books will catapult you...

Re: Magic Square

I use Jermays method available on penguin magic. Great effect easy to remember. Here's a video of me performing a method. The psychology test demo is not new it dates back to an old clipping in Annemans book, however he predicted a birth date. The demo also hides some dirty work for another effect t...
