Question
Hello Magicplace,I need visualy and unbelievable effect for my magic show.\r\nWhat trick should I buy?
Answer
Norbert, we have a lot of great releases that are perfect for what you are looking for. Kinetica offers several great visual animations, Sickness Trilogy offers up some crazy magic that will shock your spectators and even RISEN that allows you to perform impossible looking card magic. Take a look around the site and check out the trailers for all of these releases and more so you can see what works best for you. Good luck!

Question
Hello Magicplace, Risen gimmick is super slim gaff?
Answer
Norbert, yes the RISEN gimmick is thin and easy to get in and out of your deck. Tony wanted to get away from having a 'block' of cards because then you could only use the deck for the one trick. If you like practical card magic for the real world then you will love RISEN.

Question
FOR LUKE! Do you have any tips or \"helpers\" for risen?\r\nIf so...thank you...\r\n(I really appreciate it!)
Answer
Tim, I'd say to watch the DVD closely and really listen to the fine points that Tony shares about handling the gimmick. It's a very durable device but I'd say to use it and not abuse it. Have fun exploring all the possibilities with RISEN and make sure to let us know what you come up with. Thanks for reaching out Tim and have a great Thanksgiving! -- Luke

Question
Does anything come with Sickness, other than the download?
Answer
Tim, when you purchase the Sickness DVD or download you are buying the secret to the effects. What you need to perform all the effects is very easy to find and one additional thing needed is found in most in the drawer of most magicians. We can promise you though that once you have purchased the very simple 'stuff' needed you will have a supply that will last you a very long time. All the best!

Question
Hello.. I have purchased Synchro. As I practice I\'ve noticed that the cards tend to get dirty and stop sliding. I am replacing with new cards, Any advise to keep cards sliding without having to buy new decks?\r\nThanks
Answer
gary unfortunately cards get old and dirty.they lose their slicknes and their smooth finish after being handled too much. it becomes difficult doing tricks that require no friction when the deck gets old. my advice would be to either purchase a new deck, or buy fanning powder that you can apply to your older cards to make them smooth again

Question
To whoever answers this, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a question about the digital downloads at the \"Digital Place\". I see that most of them are card routines that you can download and learn, for example, the \"Baruna Change\", \"The Slip\" and \"Suit Swindle\" which seem very good for a reasonable price of course. I Submitted 2 effects in the past that never got an answer back on whether they would be good or not. They weren\'t card routines but other ones i thought would be really cool to share. I know that you accept these submissions for the real world, but the 2 i submitted, i never got word back, so i don\'t know. The price is the least of my worries, i\'m just trying to see if i can get something out there that\'s my own style, that\'s all. Thanks
Answer
Greg,
We get hundreds of submissions a days and sometimes things either get overlooked or skipped because of time constraints. I will check your stuff out and get back to you by the end of this week

tj the weirdest trick we have is kinetica by sean fields. while it is not haunted magic per se, and more telekinesis, you could routine the effect as a ghost trick or something controlled by a ghost. try it out and good luck

Question
Dear Magic Place \r\n My name is Oliver, and I understand you guys are all really experienced magicians. I\'m well experienced as well. Just not known. heh. But anyway. I come from a family with a background of magic. But none of them ever want to be my guide. Which really stinks considering the fact that I\'m only 19yrs old. Even if I\'m well experienced. I still need someone who been through this stuff longer than me to teach me more, and that way, I can become a vary good magician. \r\n\r\nRight now. I specialize in using kinetic forces. But my favorite is self. What I mean about that is that, I believe in myself enough to do whatever I want... Well, most of it. Which is why I still want to learn. I\'ve been practicing since I was little because of my family. But if you guys can give me some advice on some magicians who are willing to take on an apprentice. That\'ll be grate. \r\n\r\nSo. If you can. I\'d really appreciate it if someone can help me grow. I always wanted to develop my self strongly with these things. Plus, I like to entertain. \r\n\r\nWell, Thanks for your time.\r\nCatch you guys latter.\r\n\r\nFrom Oliver Trizarri\r\n Ruin Light

Question
to mark or luke: \r\nhave you ever toyed with the idea of having a double baruna change...for instance you change the 6 into an ace and right after without changing anything change the ace into another card..so having three cards there instead of 2? \r\nI\'m trying but having a little trouble with the idea and could use some help..thanks!\r\n
Answer
Michael i have not played with the idea of a double baruna change but, after playing around with it i have discovered it isnt necessarliy possible to do without flashing and looking un natural. i like the idea of a double color change, but i think doing 2 changes takes away from the magic of the single color change
Doctor Kaz
09 19 2012
Question
I am a beginner and I do some card and coin tricks so far, I\'m good at acting (performing). However, the coin disappearing trick I do involves this magnet attached to an \"invisible\" string which retracts back to a thing attached inside the jacket. This can not be used \'impromptu\' cause pulling the magnet and the string and keeping the right hand stiff is a hassle. Is there any other way to make a coin or something like its\' size disappear after being able to show the right hand to the spectator so they see I\'m not concealing anything of that kind? Please respond, I\'m surrounded by skeptics who don\'t enjoy magic as it is but almost strip me after I show something so I need better routines.
Answer
Doctor, the best advice i can give you is to try and put more focus on the disappearing coin and not run when you arent being chased.if you do magic for skeptical people, they will always give you a hard time. you must practice as much as possible

Question
Hey guys, I was interested in Devlin dollar, couldn\'t find much reviews online about it. Im a strolling magician, wanted to see how it works in walk around settings, what is reset time? And do you need to buy refills? Is the gimmick hard to add onto existing bills? Can it be done jumping from table to table let\'s say at a wedding or a corporate event? Also kinetica how much set up time do you need to get ready before performing? Is the hook up for IT complicated where if it breaks id have to go to the bathroom and takes more than 5 minutes? thanks so much for your help! Im very interested in these effects to add to my repertoire!
Answer
Hey Darren, Thank you fro your interest in Devlin Dollar! The reset time is as quick as 1,2,3! its an automatic reset,and you do not need to buy refills. the dvd teaches in depth how to install the gimmick to existing bills quickly and easily. as a strolling performer myself, it is very easy to use in a walk around setting and takes up almost no pocket space.
Kinetica is a one time set up that takes no preset up time except for having it on you. if it breaks , sean teaches an easy way to be ready to perform at a moments notice
hope this helps!

Question
Anticipation shapes experience. Do any of you have tips for building audience anticipation efficiently? (Say, as a performer in a restaurant or bar. I\'d want my audience to expect, and therefore experience, a miracle right from the get-go.)
Answer
Cary, a lot of that comes from how you present an effect. The more you build it up the more anticipation there will be with what you're doing. A lot of people seem to rush through their magic. Take your time and really explore what it is you want the audience to experience and then study what works and what doesn't. As long as you are getting better with each performance you are well on your way to success!

08 22 2012
Question
Hi. My question is how can you get gigs and start doing magic on the street and get money?
Answer
Stephen, the best bet is to perform as much as you can for free wherever you can and then when you get more comfortable you can start with business cards and charging for shows. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you want to make sure you're ready to start asking for money. If street busking/performing is your thing then do your best is to study the likes of Gazzo or Cellini as they made their livings performing on the streets. Good luck!

Question
In the criss angel magic kit the thumb tip wont fit correctly. It\'s way to big! It goes over my entire thumb and my nail hits the top of the inside. I dont think its supposed to fit that way, right? I guess its made for male magician thumbs instead of my small girly thumb lol. I tried to resize it using the instructions in the manual but, it didnt work. Can you help?
Answer
dezarae,
the best advice i can give is to ask your parents to boil some water and dip the thumb tip into the water, so it gets soft, then take the thumb tip out and try to mold the thumbtip around your own thumb until it hardens.
let me know if that helps!

Question
I highly doubt a magician would read this, so here it goes. I am wondering 1 main thing. When a person wants to take the Magic Oath and wants to study under an Illusionist/Magician, how would they go about that? If you have any suggestions or Magicians in mind, please contact me ASAP. Because I do know Lance Burton is from Kentucky and I live in Kentucky.
Answer
James,
The Magician's Oath is an unwritten rule that magicians follow. We all understand that by being a magician we're able to do what we do because of the secrets that we protect. By choosing to be a magician we hope that you'll respect that enough to not share how things are done.
Best of luck!

Question
Hey \r\nMy grandad is a magician and he teaches lots of tricks. I Practise them loads and get them right all the time. \r\n\r\nBut there is one big problem when I go to perform them to people I screw them up. How can I over come my fears of performing them to People and not screwing them up.
Answer
karl,
the best advice i can give you is to practice your magic until it is second nature to you. the reason why we dont fall over when we walk is because we are so used to walking that we dont think about it. if you practice your magic until you dont have to think about it, your nervousness will disappear and you wont screw up in front of your audience

Question
Hey Guys,\r\n\r\nI\'ve been performing magic for about 5 years now and have done shows ranging from close-up strolling gigs to theater stages at corporate events. I was just wondering if you have any advice on how to market yourself as a brand? Criss obviously in an expert in this and I haven\'t been able to tap into that secret yet of connecting my show with a unique image and merchandise and social media, etc. Any advice would be appreciated, all the best!
Answer
Rylan,
The best idea is to find out who you are as a performer and try to really focus in on that and share it in a fresh and unique way. There are a lot of people doing the same thing but they don't try to stand out from the crowd. This is one of the biggest keys to success in the magic world...finding a way to do things differently.
We're here to help so if there's anything else we can do to help please don't hesitate to reach out.

Answer
Criss Angel changed his name, as most artists do( singers,actors etc) to make their name more marketable, memorable, and easily promounced. Sarantakos (criss's last name) is not that easy to say by many people, and "angel" is an easily remembered name

Question
I had a question about extreme burn. after studying the trick i know how it is done and how to make the gimmick... but i do not know what type of metal piece to use. any suggestions? and in your opinion is there a better money change trick than this?
Answer
Richard, Unfortunately we can not comment on how another performer's effect works because it's not our trick to elaborate on. what i will say is, it is a great effect and money changing routines are amongst the strongest magic that you can perform. in the next few weeks we will be release Joe Devlin's "Devlins Dollar" which is in my opinion one of the most Visual BIll Switches around. also included in your purchase will be Sean Field's "ill Switch" which is an impromptu Bill switch that is insanely visual! Keep your eyes peeled for those and let me know if you need anything else!

But that doesn\'t mean I have seen them all.\r\n\r\nHow would I go about finding out if it is original or not?\r\n\r\nThank you very much,\r\n\r\n- Steven
Answer

Question
The trick where the dollar bill folds in your hand, how exactly does it work? How does Criss Angel bend a spoon by just pushing on it with one finger while its on there hand?
Answer
Dylan,
The self-folding bill is one of the 3 effects found on the Kinetica DVD and it's definitely one of our favorites http://magicplace.com/product/kinetica
As far as how Criss does the bending spoon, he's developed his own methods over the years but we suggest you look into some mentalism work by Banachek who teaches how to do things like this.
If there's anything else we can do for you please let us know.

Hi Magic Place, I want to become a escape artist and was wondering is that really magic and also where do I start. I want to first learn how to pick handcuffs then hold my breath for a long time and then finally perform for some kids birthday parties is that the right approach. Also The Kinetica Ring is it string powered or what? Finally I want to learn other magic as card tricks and levitating myself and people and thing what do you have for those?
Answer
Dylan,
When it comes to learning escapes and doing them it's wise to work with someone experienced in this field. Performing escapes can be dangerous so make sure you know what you're doing first.

Hi MagicPlace. I have recently started learning magic. Sucking in all i can take on magic. But i find it hard to choose in what field of magic i should concentrate on. Card magic, mentalism,geek, rope,coinmagic and so on and so forth. There is so many things out there. What is a good routine to start off with. That is also a proble.\r\nWhat is your best tips to someone pretty new to magic. Would be very greatful for a honest good answer....
Answer
Thomas,
The best part about getting into magic is that there's always something new to learn. There are so many different areas to study and learn that suggesting just one to you would stop you from finding what is best for you. Something like the Tarbell course in magic has a little bit of everything so you can get a feel for what you like. Whatever you end up doing always remember to have fun!

Question
Hey! I\'ve recently been practicing the \"Mummy Wrap\" illusion, as made popular by Doug Henning. \r\n\r\nI\'m going to be performing it in front of a crowd pretty soon and was trying to think of how I\'m going to be doing it on a stage with curtains on three sides (without making it too obvious how I am doing it). Advice?
Answer
Randy,
The best idea would be to do a run through on the stage and try to figure out your best angles. Another good option would be to videotape yourself doing the routine so you can play it back and see for yourself how the routine looks.

Hey, I\'m an intermediate magician, and I know enough tricks to start gigs, but it\'s hard to find close up magic tricks other than card tricks. Where should I start to look for gigs, and where would i find different kinds of tricks if I don\'t have a store near me?

There are a lot of great places to perform close up magic, performing in restaurants and strolling is a great way to not only test out new material and polish what you've been working on.

hello, my name is israel i am 14 years old and i have been doing magic for 9 years and i started more mentalism and better magic at 10 years of age and i wanted to learn how to do the matrix levitation the one that dynamo,criss angel,and cryal have done but i cant find it anywhere and i was just wondering if you knew how its done so i can impress the people because many people keep asking me to levitate and do the matrix and i wanted to ask a professional. sincerely, Israel oros
Answer
Israel,
The maxtrix levitation is something that Criss developed and other magicians have taken the idea without his permission and have used it. The secret has never been shared and unfortunately we're not able to share the secret at this time.

Answer

Our submit a trick section should be up within the next day or so for exactly what you're talking about. If you want to produce a full product (with gimmick and DVD) that's the best bet for you to use.

I have been wondering this for my whole magic career while i am only 14 years old. How do i begin my adventure to becoming a magician like Criss Angel, i know you probably get this a lot but i am very serious of this career and i know i will go far with it i just need some advice anything will help thank you so much!!!!!! i hope to be part of this amazing website one day\r\nDevon lafaille aka Dmagik
Answer
Devon,
That's a great question bud. The one thing that Criss seems to have that most others don't is a dedication to being a magician and pushing the art further and further. He's a true workhorse and I've never met anyone more driven or motivated. If this is what you want the get ready to put in a lot time and hard work.

Question
Just emailed you yesterday and curious if you got it and also wanted to know if criss could help me make a dvd filled with magic. Also when is the contest over??
Answer
Josh,
Sadly at this time we don't have much to offer for help with doing magic in a pool. The obvious suggestion would be to do an escape underwater but we don't want to suggest anything dangerous that you aren't experienced with. The best idea is to look at the magic you already perform and look for ways to adapt it to what you want to do. If you have magic you're interested in putting out you can always send it out way to look at. The contest is running through October and the winner will be announced on Halloween. Good luck!

Question
I have a problem. I want to have a career based around magic. I don\'t want to be a magician exactly but... I don\'t really know how to explain what it is I want to be since there really isn\'t anything thing out there to compare it to.. Anyway, my issue is I want a career in magic yet, I don\'t want to lose the mysticism that occurs when you see an illusion for the first time and you have no idea how it\'s being done and you have that child-like facination. Yet, for my career choice I would have to know the technicalities of the trick. I believe I already have the creativity that is necessary to create tricks because I have a plethora of ideas for illusions. Just not the financial means nor the knowledgeable ability to bring them to fruition. Can you please give me some advice? I would greatly appreciate it! :D God bless!
Answer
Dezarae,
Magic is all about secrets so the more serious you take it as a job the more you will have to know. I'll be the first to admit that the longer I'm around magic the less I'm blown away or fooled. Being a magician is definitely much more than just learning tricks though. There's a reason why they call it show business afterall :)
All the best in your journey and if there's anything else we can do to help please let us know.

Question
Hey, I want to be a magician, i already have little tricks and illusions that i pratice many times and perform in front of my friends, however, i want to ask: ¿How can i get prepared to do big illusions and present myself in famous places(like the magic castle) in a near future?(by the way, i only have 14 years old)
Answer
Henry,
The best way to prepare yourself for bigger illusions is to study and get yourself familiar with them. The Tarbell series of books go into detail about stage magic and the secrets found in those books are still used today. If stage magic is your goal then we would also recommend looking into some theater or acting courses. The more prepared you are to be on stage the better.
All the best!

Answer
Stephen,
It's important to have focus when you're working on sleight of hand. Find yourself a quiet spot and really concentrate on what you're working on. It's also helpful to use a webcam, or video camera, to record yourself doing the moves so you can watch it back later to see for yourself how it looks.

Question
Hi can Flourishing be considered as part of magic?
Answer
Yeo,
It's only my opinion but to me if you use flourishes as part of the tricks that you perform it can work. Doing nothing but flourishes isn't something that you can just do over and over to people so using it as part of a way to highlight your magic is a good idea.
If there's anything else we can do for you please don't hesitate to ask.

The more comfortable you are with your tricks and the more you practice the nerves will start to go away. Just focus on finding your performing character and the rest should fall into place. The more you perform, the easier it will come.

Question
Does having different decks of cards with different designs help with certain tricks.\r\n\r\nEXAMPLE - If you were going to do a voodoo trick with cards would the trick look better if you used the black tiger deck instead of a red or blue bicylce deck of cards.
Answer
Jason,
It really all comes down to taste. If you like performing with one deck better than another then do what suits you and works for you. Certain tricks do use trick/gaff cards that only work with certain decks so keep that in mind.

do you have any suggestions for the thumb to fit better from the kit? and any tips for the levitation device? Thanks so much!
Answer
Sara,
You can put it under some hot water and try to stretch it a little if you're having problems getting the thumbtip to fit. You can also get other sizes from your local magic shop that you can try on in person. With the levitation device, try practicing with non-invisible thread and then try everything with the 'invisible' stuff and you should have better luck with it.
If you have any other questions please just let us know.

Hey Guys!\r\nI had a question about mentalisim. I\'ve been performing mentalisim for about 3 years now but still struggle with a character. So my question is. How do I find my character for mentalisim? Where do I start? And Should I have a stage name? Thanks guys!\r\nBrady
Answer
Brady,
There are a lot of great books on mentalism out there. 13 steps to mentalism is definitely one of our favorites. It's important to find out who you are as a person and try to exaggerate that as a character. People can tell when you're being genuine and trying to be something that you're not.

Hey criss I was wondering if you could help me out? I was wondering how you did your levitation at the Luxor? At the Aladdin back in the day when you made those people levitate as we\'ve seen you levitate before in bars or on the street or from roof top to roof top. I was wondering if you could help me so I can learn to levitate myself and practice at it to be a great magician some day? Thanks
Answer
Brandon,
Some secrets are kept a secret for a reason. If everyone knew how to do the things Criss does then he wouldn't be where he is now. For a good place to learn about levitation we would definitely recommend the Tarbell book series. There's some larger things taught and include secrets that are still used today.

Hi I am Alexander from Austria and I am 15 years old. I would like to know how I can get my first restaurant gig ?
Answer
Well Alexander that's a great question! Probably one of the best things to do would be to practice the tricks you do until you can do them in your sleep. Do your best to be professional and look the part. The best preparation, perform as much as you can and act like a pro. Make sure you're ready though before you get out there and approach a restaurant. Once you approach a place once, that's the only shot you get.

Question
I have seen Criss Angel preform a card/mentalism trick where he has two decks, spectator chooses one and Criss got the other. They handled the decks themselves, chose a single card from the decks each then placed it on the table, and when the spectator turned the cards over they we the same! Been looking for a while but cant find anything that could help my figure out how. Did Criss use some sort of card force? even though he didnt handle the spectator\'s deck? Any ideas that could lead me towards the answer? Thankyou so much! Hope to hear back from you soon.
Answer
Michael,
This is something Criss uses a lot and for now it's a secret he'll be holding onto. We will be releasing a version of this in the near future in our Digital Place section that we think you will enjoy.
If there's anything else we can do for you please don't hesitate to ask!

Question
I was wondering what you would recommend for a very first awe inspiring magic trick...as in one for someone who sucks terribly bad at doing tricks hahahaha...and one that\'s not a card trick...basically something cool as frig...
Answer
Our first exclusive release Kinetica is definitely a lot of fun and includes 3 effects and the best part...none of them are card tricks! We're going to be offering more and more effects over the next year and hopefully have something for everyone. http://magicplace.com/product/kinetica
If there's anything else we can do for you please don't hesitate to reach out.
