r/Magic

Hi all
ACAAN is one of my favourite tricks to watch.
I loved Dani Daortiz and Boris Wild's performances on Penn and Teller's Fool Us.
I'm trying to find other performances of ACAAN by other magicians.
I've watched David Berglas Effect too.

I'm trying to find contemporary magician's performances.

Please share your favourite performances.

I ordered some coins last November, still have not received them. I've tried calling, leaving voicemails, emailing, and have not been contacted back. Does anyone know if they are even still in business? Is there another way to contact them?

Very disappointed with the lack of communication and losing out on $100.

Edit: Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'll continue to reach out and will be sure to never purchase or recommend anything from Roy Keuppers.

I've been booked to do some stuff at an R18 event. Other than the ol sponge scholong any other good r18 stuff floating around out there?

I got back into performing after a 12 year hiatus. Going through all my old stuff is nostalgic, but I also feel like I need to learn/ go through everything that I have currently before buying new effects or books lol

Anyone else ever been in a similar situation?

Good day gents,

I'm a novice who's looking to create a decent routine for Halloween revolving around a seance. I'm thinking of using a Ghost Key to "open the door", pk touch, haunted deck, spirit bell, etc. I'm looking for any advice on other tricks to consider for the routine since I'm not really familiar with this area. As far as skills go with cards I have no issues with the basics of sleight, so those can be practiced.

Any help would be appreciated in this endeavor. Its to entertain some cousins (7-8) along with adults. Spooky themes are absolutely acceptable.

Longshot, but I used to have a chain escape which utilized a trick padlock when I was about 12. The lock had a sliding release mechanism hidden within the keyhole cover. I have been looking for it for all of my adult life because it got lost in a move a couple of years later. Any ideas? It was purchased from Stevens Magic Emporium catalog, circa 1995-1996. TIA!

Good Afternoon (to magicians of the EST atleast)

I have in the past year or so rekindled my magic hobby after an about 10 year hiatus for the hobby. In this time I've learned many card effects such as ACR, Twisting the Aces, Spectator cuts to the Aces and etc

I have also recently begun experimenting with coin nd rope magic, having learned David Roths coins across (not winged silver, the one with the "turtle) as well as Daryls ring and rope routine

I have but a simple question, and that is, what should routines should I learn next to get a better understanding of the fundamentals of magic? I wish to eventually begin gigging, and my repotoire currently, while I believe to be polished, is quite small.

Hi guys, i work in emergency medicine and am looking for some easy tricks to dazzle and draw attention from kids (all ages). It would realy help and bring some smiles i hope. I have no experience in magic, so nothing to difficult to learn, please.

Thanks!

I ordered a DVD from Losander's website, but have not heard back from him. It's been a while. I messaged him on Facebook, to no avail. Does anyone here know him and can nudge the order along?

Or maybe someone has a copy of the Floating Table DVD, and we can work out a deal?

Now that dude has pulled himself out of whatever bender or depression hole he was in, has anyone had a chance to contact this douchebag? Going on 9 months of waiting for an order that was in stock. No tracking updates, no responses to emails or Instagram DMs. I know there are 1000 instances of the same thing happening. Has anyone had any luck?

PS why are we still platforming this loser

Hey all. I am once again feeling the urge to bring my TT out. I do almost all my magic at the local bar where we gather with friends several times per week, so I'm looking for effects to do which use organic props and fit into this casual context.

The stuff that comes to mind is basically, broken and restored toothpick, or torn and restored tissue. The latter I would probably prefer to just do with sleight of hand. When I've looked into TT effects that go beyond vanishing a tiny silk, I haven't found much that resonates with me. But I can nonetheless feel the untapped potential of this classic prop.

What are your favorite effects to perform when casually out and about with a TT in your pocket?

Hey Team,

I was wondering if anyone could point me to any source material for billet Reading specifically with business cards.

I have seen this trick doing the rounds recently

https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da4vaJ\_RdNF/?igsh=djdzbGxmaWVuZnZr

And have spoken to a few other friends about it some are thinking palming, others a peak but for the life of my although the video doesn't show, it seems gimmick free.

I do have some older mentalism books - 13 steps, so. E of Banachek's material. But nothing that points me to the trick above or reading from business cards. I would like to add a similar effect to my walk around routines

Any direction Would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi everyone

I’m not a big fan of gimmicks. I’m more into close up magic and hence a great admirer of sleight of hand. I’m into card magic mostly. Double lift is the first technique that got me the most amazing reactions. Recently stumbled upon Simon Coronels presentation and loved his sleight of hand.

What’s the first sleight of hand that got you crazy reactions?

What sleight of hand techniques are you looking forward to learn?

Visited the penguinmagic website today to find it has received a minor facelift after looking the same and outdated for decades. It looks modern but still familiar. i like the sort items by price feature.

Is anyone doing this. I find it wonderfully practical to be wearing the prop and make a miracle happen for someone when I come across a string.

Who has the best material on this.

I’m not talking about the bigger ring and rope effect, but the finger ringer and a string.

Thanks!
