*      Virtual Mind Reading – here is a cool trick to fool your friends who are in the room with you and your computer.  Basically it's a mindreading effect that enables you to type in a question about a person while the person who's mind you are reading is in the room. You have to know something about the person. As you apparently type in the top box, you secretly type in the secret information, yet it appears that you are typing other letters. In other words, as you type the "answer," the letters that appear on the screen are not what you are typing.

 

For example: In the space that says "Insert Petition," you start by typing a period. This sets up for what happens next. You then type in the secret word about the person. At the conclusion of that, you type in another period and the rest of the sentence as described above. ex. Petions: . answer. please answer this question: What appears on the screen is slightly different than what appears on the screen.

 

You then type where it says: "Insert Question." You type in the question? In a few seconds, the answer appears. You must be sure to type in everything exactly as it appears. Be sure to have the periods, colon, and question mark where they appear.

*      Adobe Cards – this is an AMAZING presentation of a “war of playing cards”. Watch the card castle build and defend itself. This is just too cool not to share.

*      Magic Convention Guide – although this is run by a Brit and much of the information is about conventions outside the U.S., it also includes a lot of stuff going on at conventions in the U.S., too. Check it out.

It has a nearly unlimited amount of clip art for making gimmicked cards, downloads, links, and instructions on cards.  There is also a link to download of S.W. Erdnase's book “Expert at the Card Table” from Genii Magazine and so much more. Link in and log on.

*      Club Magicians.com – the definitive magic community for magicians, by magicians, about magicians. the best way to describe this is as a social network similar to FaceBook.

*      Flexi-Hexagon – How to make one. This video is less than 30 seconds so you may have to watch twice, but this is simple to make.
