So, it's the obvious question to ask, but who got what magic tricks for Christmas from their better halves, families, friends etc?

I got no magic whatsoever - my family steers clear in case they get the 'wrong' thing or something I've already got.

Anyone luckier than me?

Roll up, roll up, post your reviews, links and ratings here...

Simple answer is to buy it yourself

I bought the Paul Daniels course on "Making money with magic"

Also Symbology and a few others that escape me right now.

I got nothing either. :cry:

Unless you count the bottle of 'Isle of Jura' which causes all sorts of strange things to happen...

Got a Time machine watch and 12 decks of green bikes, anyone got any ideas forthe green decks, having a magical block

Green Decks - jokes around drunk cards turning green because they feel sick and colour changing to the green deck?

Halloween - goblin's favourite decks are green like them?

Russian Roulette - audience must select the green backed card from a deck of reds or suffer a penalty - lots of scope for amusement there - could be introduced with tacky rhymes like:

"Green is clean, red is dead
You best be careful or you'll lose your head!"

Scope for switching red and green with palms etc.

Don't know if they above helps at all.

The Royal Road to Card Tricks

by **Happy Toad** » Jan 2nd, '05, 13:52

chrismyatt82, what do you think of stealth as opposed to thought transmiter?

by **Archie** » Jan 2nd, '05, 21:22

Jon - I got the Royal Road to Card Magic last year - fantastic book - if not the easiest to follow.

This year I got sheets...no not magical ones just sheets...oddly enough tomorrow I'm off to return them (I can't think why...) and just maybe something more magical will be bought to replace them!

I got the props for a new trick I'm working on. At least, I think it's new. I haven't seen it mentioned here .

It involves making the contents of a whisky bottle disappear (man, it takes some practice :wink:

).

Any ideas what I should call this trick?

by **MagicIain** » Jan 3rd, '05, 09:42

'Andy G's New Year's Resolution'

Gags then lead to giving up drinking, or even drinking more!

by **taneous** » Jan 3rd, '05, 10:39

I got:
13 steps to mentalism
Art of Cold Reading
Patrick Cuffs - Metal bending, the real work (I'd seen this on video - excellent)
Al Schneider Technique - 4 dvd's - brilliant stuff - will review a little later in the month.
Ken Scott - making the birthday dough.
Swami gimmick
(these I bought for myself)

Gun that says "Bang"
Lolipop trick for children's shows
Hank Lee's voucher
(got these from dar_kwan)

by **AndyRegs** » Jan 4th, '05, 14:55

I got both the derren brown books. Both very interesting. THey make you rethink your entire routines, and put a bit more thought into your magic. My routines get a much bigger reaction now.
