Hi this summe (in the uk) I am putting together my first magic DVD, its hopefully gonna be a killer, cos weve got some great stuff lined up and some celebs too...

A lot of the dvd is goin to be shot near beaches and skateparks...I need some killer tricks that are gonna scare the c*** (not the best) outaa people and leave them with jaws on the floor...

Any suggestions guys....much love x

So.. your doing a killer video in which you have celebs lined up and also you say you have some great material..

but you want .. no sorry.. you NEED some killer tricks>?



And what is it with people wanting to scare the cr*p out of people. I thought the purpose of magic was to entertain!!

You may as well do a haunted house programme!!

Aim to enertain your audience, not scare the sh*t out of them.. !!

In response to that, i do want to entertain, but shocking is also good (you must agree), as for celebs, theres a few, but its mainly backstage stuff and before gigs (various people from bands and surfing background....)

As for a killer routine, I have performed magic for about 5 years as a job on and off, so I do have a fairly good routine but combined with everyones knowledge on TM im sure to get something great together, I mainly wanted suggestions? (i didnt mean to sound like a c*cky Knob...

I wanted to know what everyone was hyping about at the minute tricks wise? whats really good and popular ect ?

i'd recommend that you just sort through all the reviews and see which suit your character best...

but i must admit, that if you're performing alot, and been into it a while, i'd of thought you'd be inventing your own stuff by now...no offense meant by that at all...just kinda surprising....

so, yeah, check through all the reviews, cos its hard to judge what would suit you without having seen you perform...

Yeh I do have my own style and tricks but its always good to touch base with folks who may know more than me. I like using resources...Yeh as for the tip about reviews, I do tend to browse to see whats about but I like to chat haha...

Thanks thou x

do a tre flip to crook grind revert out, that'll get their jaws on the floor down at the skate park.
seriously though, i skateboard and do magic, you'll have trouble scaring them, needle through arm, saw, knife in arm etc isn't going to make them squirm, most of these kids have probably seen real compound fractures and real split heads. you will get more reaction from doing tricks which don't scare but are feats of skill.
good luck with that, look forward to seeing it.

Hey I was looking into a Skateboard that does tricks itself...whos that?

God knows how Im gonna do it though lol....

Any ideas PM me lol

HAHA don't know about me skating, still recovering from a shoulder operation and not that brilliant anyway, but i can hook you up with the skatepark owner who'll let you film there, i'll come and watch. when are you in sheffield?

i happen to skateboard as well.

yeh, freak magic wont really shock extreme sportsman.

perhpas you could perform a card routine were there card ends up under somebodys grip tape or something.

maybe you could perform a routine were a card is signed and lost only to find that it has been graffitied on a 1/4 pipe or someting, this was perform on max magic and got some good reactions.

Entertainment purposes, its goin on sale in some skate shops, and in talks with T.V to.....am excited...Also spinning fire, poi etc, goin to festivals, VW events, and chopper bicycle events....Off to boardmasters in July/August, shud be ace, your more than welcome to join in.............
