  1. Short poems are like a short magic trick: All punch and to the point. They disregard ambiguity and enlighten.
  2. How dreadful the night when flaming spells erupt from shaken hand! Butterflys the chaff and tears of flowers glowing.
  3. Silent down in the quiet spaces magic lurks. Open hand and flower emerges. The dove from hanky can fall fallow from it's perch.
  4. If...you could make your magic as compelling as a sunset you would be a very rich performer in a very short time.
  5. Powerball 60 continues to be one of the most powerful mental effects I have used. Very cool. http://is.gd/5e192
  6. Performance is the presentation of what we know in a way that makes it known to others.
  7. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Magic is the ability to be thankful for mystery and amazement.
  8. In the execution of every great magic trick there is a moment of silence just following the completion of the effect. Use it.
  9. Every magician should read Alice in Wonderland at least once.
  10. Look for a hardbound copy of the Amateur Magician's Handbook in used book stores.
  11. My favorite magic book of all time?Either The Amateur Magician's Handbook by Hay or Close-up Card Magic by Lorayne.
  12. How about card texts that rock? The Card Magic of LePaul stll stands up after a great many years.
  13. Another classic magic text recently in and then out of print again is the magnificent GREATER MAGIC by J. N. Hilliard. A must have.
  14. Really the classc texts in magic are still the best in some ways: Bobo's New Modern Coin Magic is still an amazing book.
  15. Because of the nature of what we do, spectators do not have to believe to be amazed. But, they DO have to be amazed.
  16. The true question is not how, but why is it done? It's purpose is always joy, even if not acknowledged as such.
  17. Ths may be the best 'mental' effect I've seen in years: http://is.gd/4QbOC Power Ball 60 simply rocks..
  18. The strength of any magic trick is enhanced by its perceived impossibility.
  19. Magic is never magic until it happens. The lead up is like the silence before the music starts.
  20. Yak butter tea is great at high altitudes.....wooooo...didn't see that one coming did you?
