"Best of Magic Roadshow II" 




Magic Roadshow was first published in July, 2004. Despite numerous disruptions and disasters, I have published an issue every two weeks since..

The first few issues were mainly a collection of articles, with a few tricks thrown in for good measure. As the Roadshow grew, I began to add more and more resources and interviews.

I realised that it was more kind of me to point magicians to relevant info at other sites than to try to provide the same info in my journal. I am limited by space and email size, so adding url's to other sites was the logical choice..

I hope you will find a wide selection of resources, tools, tricks, and interviews to aid you in your magical journey. Think of yourself as a distance runner, and I am one of those guys with a cup of water, thrusting it out toward  the runners as they pass, hoping to help someone complete their journey toward the finish line..

It's true. I enjoy helping others, and I hope that I have included something in this journal that will be of help to you.

Look around, take your time, check out the websites and resources I've provided, and let me know what you think.

Please keep in mind that this ebook is intended to be a good cross-section of the type of resources provided in Magic Roadshow and not an actual  'Best Of..' . Many worthy articles by writers like Esther Beris and David Breth have been omitted for the sake of space, but can still be read in the archives at:  http://www.streetmagic.info

Oh, and remember, if you are not signed up to receive your personal copy of Magic Roadshow in your inbox every two weeks, we can remedy that right now..

:: Interview: Dan Turcotte ::



Dan Turcotte is the 'magical genius' behind You Do Magic.com, consistently ranked among the top three 'most popular' magic websites in the world.

If you are not familiar with youdomagic.com, it's an all-inclusive type magic site that specializes in original magic and information. Dan sells a vast array of original material, PDF e-books, video clips, and DVD's for beginner and intermediate level magicians...

Personally, I don't know anyone, at any level, who can't benefit from Dan's magic.

Born and raised in Michigan, Dan has spent extensive time in such diverse places as Florida, Great Britain, Las Vegas, and Tennessee, and has made many friends in the magic community all along the way.

A perpetual performer.. Dan has performed regularly in a variety of venues. Now, he publishes a 'staggering' array of pdf format ebooks and instant downloads detailing exactly 'how' he performs his routines.

(Editors note.. Dan Turcotte passed away a few short months ago, leaving behind a loving wife in Michigan and a daughter in England. His untimely death was much too early for such a talented magician. Dan's web site.. "You Do Magic" is still up and going strong, and being managed by those who were important to him... )

:: Boondoogle ::



Jim Bumgardner has a long history of creating amazing, creative internet and
multimedia technolgies and content.

Among other things, Jim created "The Palace" - a graphical chat system which took the Internet by storm (it drew one million users at its peak).

Jim has also worked on award winning CD-ROMs and a time capsule that was sent to Mars. He designs 100s of really cool, fr'ee software toys which he distributes from his website...  jbum.com

What I want you to do is visit.. http://www.jbum.com/magicstuff.html and bookmark the URLs for Boondoogle, i polygraph, The Oracle of Batboy, and the
Internet Lie Detector.

I have included a brief description of the flash effect 'Boondoogle' below.

Again, these are available Free.

------------------------



Bondoogle is the ultimate "Google Hack" for magicians.

The basic effect:


1. Ask a spectator to pick a card.

2. Fail to ascertain what it is.

3. Turn to Google for help. In Google, you type in "What is it?"

4. Google returns search results that reveal the card.


Bondoggle will also perform a Google Image search, in which case you will get
images of the card.


--------------------



The trick can also be used for a mind-reading effect, using the same technique. If the secret phrase you type is longer than 2 letters, Bondoogle will search for that phrase, whatever it is. You can use this for a good visual mind-reading act.

For example:

Magician: "Name your favorite movie star". Spectator: "Charlize Theron"

Magician types (to Google): "What is it that I am thinking of?" Google shows images of Charlize Theron.

I'm a simple guy.. and these well-designed little scripts are the equivalent of giving a dog a bone. My wife is sick and tired of me calling her to the computer every thirty minutes or so..... "Go ahead sweetie.. name a card, any card...".



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




:: My Lovely Assistant ::



Another of my favorite sites is 'My Lovely Assistant - Blatant Honesty in a World of Deception'.. ( http://www.mylovelyassistant.com )

Utilizing a panel of reviewers like David Acer, Eugene Burger, Brad Henderson, and others.. MLA reviews literally hundreds of magic related tricks and dvd's . Want to know what they thought of Bob Kohlers 'Aces In Their Faces'? Or, what about Jay Sankeys 'Paperclipped'..

I rarely buy a packet trick or video without first checking with My Lovely Assistant to see what trusted-others thought of the effect or quality.

After all.. our audience isn't the only ones occasionally 'tricked' by our magic..

----------------------------------------------




:: Just a Touch ::



Mental magic... just for you. This effect will serve you well if you will take the time to work out some interesting patter. I will briefly summarize the effect and leave the rest to you...

Effect:  Have someone mentally select a name (or object, or favorite sports team ). Give them a writing pad with five lines drawn and ask them to write the chosen name on one of the lines. Then, four other unrelated names on the other lines.

Take the pad.. study it.. audibly call out a name and announce that you do not think that name was the chosen name. Call out two more names and tell your audience that your are sure they are not the chosen names either.

Down to the last two names.. study hard.. and announce the chosen name.


Secret:  Give your spec a RED fine-point or micro ink pen. I use a Uni-ball micro. A short time before the effect, touch the tip of the red ink pen to the felt tip of a BLACK marker, like a Sharpie.

When your spec writes their chosen name on one of the lines, the very tip of the first letter will have a "dark" appearance. If you practice for a few minutes before you perform this effect, you will learn exactly how hard to touch the tips together to achieve a virtually un-noticeable 'smudge'.

NO ONE will notice this smudge, but you..  It will appear as if it's just a little excess ink on the tip.

Again, take the time to work up a Good Story to go with this effect, and you will have a little bit of impressive mental magic to add to your repertoire...



-------------------------------------------




:: In The Pocket Miracle ::



Simple trick using a basic magic principle that plays big, IF you create a little 'drama' to go along with it..


Effect: Lay a deck of cards on a table and ask someone to cut it two or three times. After the last cut, ask them to take the top card, look at it, and put it in their pocket. Now, pick up the remainder of the deck and put it in a card case and close it tightly...  Pick up a notepad.. study your specs face intently.. look deep into their eyes.. and draw a picture of the card that's in their pocket...


Secret: Pretty simple actually. Use a deck that is stacked  - Ace to king of hearts, ace to king to diamonds, etcs.. ( Just like a new deck - with the bottom card being an ace and the top card of the deck a king..)

This effect works really well with a new deck. Remove the jokers, and go immediately into this trick..

Cutting the deck will not affect the order of the cards. When you pick up the deck to put it in the card case, casually glimpse the bottom card. You will know that the card in the pocket is one card lower....

For example.. if a six of hearts is on bottom, the chosen card is the five of hearts. The only exception is if the bottom card is a ace, then the chosen card is an king of the previous suit. Simply arrange the suits in an order you will remember...

You can also perform this trick with a 'Si Stebbens stack'. If you don't know what the Stebbens stack is.. put it in Google or MSN or Yahoo search.

You can let a second or third audience member pocket cards also, provided that you get a chance to glimpse the bottom card after each selection.

Again, this is a simple effect. But, in the hands of someone who is willing to take the time to play it up, it will appear to be a true 'mental miracle'...

:: Street Magic and You ::   



Thinking it Through...



So.. you want to be a street magic performer. Or, did I hear you say you would rather perform close-up in bars and restaurants. Maybe you would like to go straight to the stage.. perhaps?

Many of you have received  'The Calling'. You can't wait for the day when you can say that you're a 'professional magician'. You have your heroes, I do too, and you have your sights set on being a 'star'.

Let me say right now, not everyone wants to profit from magic. Many good magicians perform strictly for their love of magic, and they are more than content to keep their magic on a hobby level. They are not the reason for this article..

I'm focusing on the performer who wants to make magic a profession. In
particular, I'm aiming at those of you who want to be another David Blaine - only better. 

David Blaine has brought tremendous exposure to the art of magic. There are more performers now than at any time in magic's long and storied history.. thanks in part to David.

But....

Take my heartfelt advice and don't try to mold yourself after him. Unfortunately, one negative thing David did ( and it was unintentional ) was create this image of the wandering stranger, going from town to town, performing magic for the masses - one dude at a time.

Emulating David is comparable to dreaming of going to wizard school and becoming another Harry Potter.. 

In any of the specials, did you ONCE see anyone who appeared to be on the verge of giving David money? Think about it... Can you imagine David doing a levitation, turning to the screaming ladies, and asking for a little spare change?

If you have hopes of being a professional, getting paid really needs to be near the top of your list of priorities.

David earned tens of thousands up front, before the first segment was filmed. That was the seed money that fueled his travels around the country. David was lucky in  that he acquired a couple of contacts that enabled him to get his foot in the right door and present his magic to the right executive..

Chris Korn and CB Benn taped their Mondo Magic series for TV, and did so to much less fanfair than David's specials. Although their show was well received, they didn't become household names.

And I honestly don't remember seeing either of them passing the hat.. 

Think about it...

David taped two street magic specials and then moved on to extreme acts of endurance. Good for him. Even David knew NOT to push a good thing too far.
Benn and Korn will continue to perform their brand of magic.. just not on TV. And probably not on the streets either. They are not street magicians in the classical sense, although their magic looks good on the streets when followed by a camera crew..  

Hey... I'm not writing street magic's obiturary. I'm simply pointing you in the right direction. I know guys who make a good living as street magicians. But there's a technique and strategy they use to fill their hats with cash...

Wandering through the streets of any-city USA isn't part of that strategy.

If you dream of making a living in magic, then I hope you have realistic expectations and a business plan.. because without both you will find yourself broke and discouraged. Guys who make a living on the street's have really good locations, with lots of traffic, and they are able to attract a crowd and entice their audience to tip..

And most of those who perform in restaurants have day jobs. At least until they develop a large enough following, like our contributing editor, David Breth, that the restaurant will actually pay them to perform and free both the magician of needing to depend on tips, and the customer of feeling that (s)he has to tip..  

I know magicians who have been 'in the business' for ten to twenty years who still don't have a clue how to make a living. Their lives are a mix of day jobs and low-paying performances, and the pain that comes from striving for recognition in a profession that won't give an inch... mainly because they have no goals and no sense of direction.

And then there are 'true' street performers, like Cellini and Gazzo, who can make more in a day on the streets than you and I make in a week.

So whats the purpose of this article? To encourage you to research your profession and discover HOW and WHY others succeed in the field you want to succeed in...

I'm sure if you could ask David Blaine right here, right now, how to make a living as a magician, he would tell you to seek out a professional magician, someone making a full-time living in the field of your choice, and learn everything you can from them...

Then, seek out another magician in the same field and learn all you can from them as well.

There are many excellent books, tapes, and DVD's available to you that can offer precise details about street magic, close-up magic, stage magic, mentalism, or whatever you choose.

I'm not trying to educate you... I'm trying to get you to take a long, hard look at your form of magic, and make some critical decisions about where you need to go from here..

Also, I'm not trying to discourage you from doing what you want to do. I just want you to make SURE that what you want to do is actually do-able. 

Good magicians find ways to make a living; shows, lectures, corporate events, cruise ships, trade shows, Las Vegas venues, webmasters, parties, restaurants (table-hopping), producing video's, and a few other ways they keep secret.

So go ahead, pick your poison. But whatever you do;

(A) DON'T make your career path up as you go. 

(B) DON'T waste your talent on a path that leads nowhere. 

(C) DON'T strive to be David Blaine. 

(D) DO seek out advise from professionals who have success in your field.

(E) DO dream big... but dream big with a plan!

:: CNN/Money Report..

:: Getting Started in the Magic Business ::



NEW YORK (CNN) - From Harry Houdini's death-defying escape numbers to Harry
Potter's magical battles against the dark forces, magicians have been a source of entertainment and intrigue for all generations. Their ability to pull objects out of thin air and then - abracadabra - make them disappear again has inspired awe among audiences for as long as magicians have been pulling white rabbits out of top hats.

But being a successful magician requires more than just a fancy wand and a deck of marked cards. It takes years of practice, patience, energy, and above all, a true passion for the craft. Throw in a talent for showmanship and a willingness to take a few risks and you just might have what it takes to become the next David Copperfield.

:: Flick Your Telekinetic Pen ::



This is an update to an old principle used in "Arrowsmith's mystery box". (credit-unknown)


EFFECT: Take a BIC type ink pen from your pocket, tell a little story about how your dear, departed grandmother was a gypsie, and how she taught you her inner-most secrets before her passing..

Lay the pen on a table with about one-third of the pen extended over the edge. Move your hands over and around the pen in all directions to show that there are no wires or connections of any sort.. Invite your spectator to do the same..

Back away from the table, even to the other side of the room if you wish, and begin to gesture toward the pen. Slowly, the pen will begin to move and finally fall completely off the table, aided only by your psychic powess and your grandmothers magical wisdom..


SECRET: Empty a BIC type pen of it's ink cartridge. Fill the pen about half full of a thick substance like motor oil or honey.

Replace the ink cartridge and make sure the pen will not leak. Now, put the cap on the pen and you're ready to perform.

Keep the pen in your pocket, or in some other location, in a position so the thick liquid will have settled in the cap end of the pen. Place the pen on a table with the other end ( not the capped end ) extended over the edge.

Leaving the cap on will provide enough of a slope for the liquid to flow to the other end and tip the pen off the table..

Experiment a little with the liquid, and you will be able to safely estimate the length of time before the pen will fall. You don't want your liquid to flow so slowly that it takes five minutes to tip over the pen.

Doctor two or three pens and you can make them all fall within thirty seconds of one another..

:: Brilliant Little Bill Switch ::



You can thank France's Arthur Tivoli for so graciously sharing the secret to a beautiful Bill Switch. As you will see on the video, the bill never leaves sight. Yet, when you stop folding after the second fold and unfold the bill, it's changed to an entirely different bill !

I could tell you how it's done, but I don't have to... Arthur has put it all up on a website - the video and the pdf file with the full explaination..

:: Bar Tricks & More ::



Sometimes it's surprising where you find sources for magic on the web. I've recently discovered a site called 'Bartender Magic ' that is full of magic and stunts of all sorts.

Of course, some of the items are not magic as we magicians think of magic, but there's a ton of items that are.. I can tell you that if you work restaurants, there's probably more than a few tricks you can make a part of your arsenal of magic. ( How many times have we ended up at the bar, not necessarily to drink, but to relax, before the night was out...?) 

"Tricks, stunts and gags to help you increase your tips, make new friends (or enemies), or just have some fun. New Tricks Added Every Friday and Saturday.
Blog updated five times a week.."

Move a matchstick that's under a glass without touching it.. Remove pepper from a pile of salt... without touching it.. Bend a cigarette in half without breaking it.. Name a card by just touching it..

The key word here is 'fun'. Magic is not all serious practice, endless routines, and total perfection. Take time to do something 'funny' today, and make someone laugh. Maybe you will too...

:: Coinvanish ::



Dan Watkins, proprietor of Coinvanish, is one of the arts finest writer/performers, and, has one of the very best websites on the web related to his speciality.

Many sites tease and tempt, telling you just enough to raise your interest in what they are - ultimately- selling. Like most webmasters.. Dan sells. He writes and sells manuscripts of very detailed, visual, and inspiring coin routines.

But...

It's his website that makes it into my list of top resources for coin workers. Dan has in-depth essays of the following sleights/moves..

So you have Bobo's - now what? / What DVD's should a beginner buy? / How to

Classic Palm a Coin / The Retention Vanish / The Muscle Pass / The Four Coin

Roll Down /



Each is complete with a series of color photos to help you visualize the text.

If that wasn't enough, Dan has a full page of mid quality streaming videos of various other routines and misc. stuff like - Bahama Magic / Playtime / Muscle Pass / Lightning Copper-Silver /  Jumbolaya / Sticky Coins - and others...

There are abundant reviews by both Dan and other renown coin workers as well as the Coin Purse Forum for coin-related questions..

:: The Institute of Dexterity Hand and Finger Isometrics ::




Tabby Crabb makes tables. Well, actually he makes Tabman Tables, maybe the best table a magician ever owned.  Ammar, Maven, Lee, Sisti, Swiss, Wonder, and Biro, among many , are all customers of 'Tabman'. But.. that's not what this resource is about.

It's about fingers...  your fingers.

As a skilled woodworker, magician, and musician, Tabman depends on his fingers to make his living. Dexterity is vitally important to ALL magicians, young and old alike. Don't think that simply because you're young you can't benefit from a daily routine of finger exercises to help keep your fingers in maximum condition..

To quote Tabman.. ( Magic Cafe thread.. http://snipurl.com/tabman )


"Many years ago I responded to a small ad in the Musician's Union newspaper for The Cowling Institute of Finger Dexterity. It was a series of isometric excercises designed to keep the hands of pianists, guitarists and violinists in shape. Mr. Pickles (I'm not kidding about this), the director, told me that ten minutes a day was physically the equivalent of two hours on instrument practice as far as the muscles of the hands and fingers were concerned.

In those days I lived on a tour bus and had precious little time to practice, so I bought in and have been a devotee ever since.I don't play much music anymore but the excercises have kept my hands in great shape and the benefits have transferred over to my card play."



Tabman has been kind enough to set up a page on his website to show exactly how he exercises his digits daily. I do these exercises myself, every day, and they take about three minutes to perform.

:: Clown Marketing Institute ::



Hey.. marketing is marketing, and Ester Beris has created a website that tells professional clowns how to market themselves and their business. Believe me, there is little difference beween magicians and clowns in terms of marketing style and techniques.

Ester has also created a free email course that has an astounding amount of free info in each issue. I honestly thought for awhile that I was receiving the paid edition instead of the free one. 

You have absolutely nothing to lose by visiting Ms. Beris and taking advantage of her expertise, especially her wealth of free information..
