Attract Women With Magic Tricks
Performing magic involves tons of audience interaction. What if you could use that to your advantage and effortless impress and attract women by simply performing magic? The bottom line is this: women love magic. Ask 100 women if they want to see a magic trick and I guarantee at least 95 say yes. The other 5 are probably boring and you wouldn?t want to get to know them anyway. Read the story »
Why Magicians Shouldn’t do Magic Tricks
Should any Magician perform Magic Tricks? This may seem like a stupid question, but bare with me. This is a question of perceived value. If you are, or consider yourself to be, a Magician, are you an amateur, professional or semi-professional? Call yourself an amateur and you risk people assuming that you are not very good.

Call yourself a professional and people will assume that you do this full time and have no other source of income. They will also assume that you are extremely good at magic. Read the story »

A Spectator is asked to hold up a single hand indicating a number (one through five). Let’s say four fingers are held up indicating the number four. A second Spectator is asked to do the same thing. Let’s say five fingers are held up, indicating the number five. A third Spectator (or one of the first two) is asked to decide if they want page 4t or page 54. They turn to whatever page is indicated in ACCEPTED DENTAL THERAPEUTICS (37th Edition) and the Magician (without looking at the book) tells them the first word on the page. Read the story »
