r/Magic

I am new to rope magic and want to perform Daryl's Rope Routine. I was wondering what exact rope he used? He mentions it is from Japan in the video. I know that many believe Baronian is the way to go. If I cannot find of Daryl's exact rope would you recommend 8 or 10 mm from Baronian? I am assuming I would not want a core. Thanks for you help!!!!

The title pretty much says it all.

My wedding is in December, and we’re having a segment where friends are scheduled to perform something, such as music, singing, acting, or anything similar. My fiancée teaches acting, and she really wants me to perform something for her.

I’m not exactly thrilled about performing at my own wedding, but I want to make it special for her. I can do pretty much anything except a big stage illusion, and I still have around six months to practice.

Any suggestions for a magic trick or performance that would be meaningful, impressive, and suitable for a wedding? The first thing that comes to mind is using ring but I’m not sure what I can do with this.

I've realized I love magic that happens in the spectator's hands. Effects like ACE by Richard Sanders, and to a lesser degree, Sticker Kicker by Jamie Williams & Roddie Mcghie, give this fairness perception that's incredibly powerful.

When the magic is happening while they're holding the cards, it feels like the magician's window for "funny business" shrinks to almost nothing in the audience's mind.

What are your favorite effects that create that same feeling? Doesn't have to be cards — just tricks where the spectator feels fully in control when the magic happens.

I'm not talking about show / stage material, but more great tricks to have in pockets or backpack for when you want to pull out a series of tricks for kids. I guess more closeup. Would love suggestions on routines. I've got cards on me at all times for a kid-friendly silly routine. I like to keep a magic coloring book gimmick on hand. I also find rope tricks go over well and keep them laughing if dont with lots of playful confusion about what happened to the rope. Would love other suggestions.

What trick can a kid perform for a talent show? I have props like a change bag, coloring book, etc. What else might be good? Thanks

I’d love to hear the number of gigs you’re working regularly, what your schedule looks like, what kind of work you’re doing, full time/part time/sometimes etc.

I’m wanting to start in kids magic because I have two and I have experience performing for kids. I doubt I’ll be able to replace my tech job income with magic, but I think it can be a fun side gig.

I personally enjoy packet tricks (e.g. color monte) and Ring and String.

I am immersing myself in card magic and curious as to who some of the best card workers...or primarily card workers out there now

Off the top of my head on the Gambling Demo side are Richard Turner, Daniel Madison, Pop Haydn

General Effects...U/Eric Tait , Eric Mead, Shawn Farquhar, Boris Wild

The catch alls Shin Lim, Dani DaOrtiz, Juan Tamariz

Who am I missing

I was going through my stuff and came across a set of Berlin postcards, all different, other than all referencing Berlin. Anyone know any tricks that use postcards like these?

I have a bunch of magicians rope but I somehow acquired the ones the do NOT have the removable core. Where can I source the rope that DOES have the removable core/center?
