The 2-DVD set is called "Miracles For Mortals: Killer Magic For The Rest Of Us" and is available through many online dealers (distributed through Murphy's Magic Supplies Inc.
I have reached the absolute pinnacle of my magic career: I recently saw a company in Canada selling MFM on eBay. My work on earth is done, Geoff

Anyway Gary, I use it all the time in my walk around environment. As I am returning my Sharpie to my coat pocket, I explain that I have been under a lot of pressure lately. As these words are uttered, I remove the air guage, hold it up to my ear and trigger the gimmick and get the first laugh. I then look at the guage and remark, "I'm about a quart low, too." (second laugh as I return it to my pocket giving me enough time and misdirection to bring on the elephant). yours, Scott

I chose not to encourage the lazy approach, and think that a PM from you to me would have been courteous even if afterwards you didn't agree with me and decided to post publically. I've posted this publically only because you did. Respectfully, Larry |

I make use of both the Flash Burst and Jim Pace's Inviso-Torch. I have quite a few gags I use with each. These effects are wonderful, but it is rather easy to overdo it with either one of these devices. I usually will use each effect once, with proper spacing at a table.
Also, I love just honking my nose with a squeaker, and playing it off as if I have a bit of a cold. The kiddies love it! |

As Scott mentioned, it's a gimmicked air pressure gauge, the kind that's used in the United States to test the pressure of car tires, where the inner part of the gauge shoots out and you read the number. It's gimmicked so that you can secretly get the inner part to shoot out. For an effect where I need a pen or marker, I simply reach into my pocket, "accidentally" pull out the tire gauge, laugh, hold it up to my forehead, secretly activate it so the inner part shoots out, remove it from my forehead and, similar to Scott's presentation, I look at it as I say, "I apologize, but apparently I'm under a lot of pressure." It's just a throwaway, and if you're not performing professionally, it's doubtful that it would be worth the price to you, but it fits my wacky performing persona and since it's something that I use professionally vs. something that's sitting in a drawer it's definitely worth it to me. Personally, I value "bits of business" at least as much as effects themselves (I know enough of them) because they add texture to my performance and reveal my personality. I've also used the gauge in a raucous bar setting as a Viagra tester. I won't go into the details of the presentation, but let me just say that you have to very carefully size up your audience to ensure that it won't offend. Anyone who's interested in the gag can click here and enter the secure pages link. Once you're in, click on "comedy items" and check out the "Comedy Air Pressure Gauge." Best, Larry |

See, maybe things are different over there, but to me that is a LAME gag and would definately not work over here in the UK!
Perhaps us Brits need something a little more witty Gary |

Well all I can say is I used the gauge in the UK and (I guess it was my wacky style) it killed over there... always got giggles and good reactions...
I only have 2 of these puppies left.. and since they are hand made... I don't know when they might be back in stock... doc

Hi Doc, nice of you to drop in.
Well each to their own I guess! Gary |

I use it all the time (as do a number of other pros whom I know) and "lame" is not the word I'd use to describe the reactions.
