Can any one recommend a good DVD with TT presentations. I have Darwin's DVD's but I'm looking for DVD's with presentations and not explanation of effects. I'm still looking for a good routine to watch with just a 6" silk.

You might check YouTube if you're just looking for presentations, there are few that are nice. Here's one with a nice idea to it:

I tried getting back HERE to correct my error---and I COULD NOT FIND MY COMMENTS. My 81 year old eyes totally missed the "page 1 2 3 NEXT"! I thought my comments had been deleted, or had fallen into a Sanada gaff! So, (as Paul Harvey used to say)now you know the "rest of the story"! Some day, perhaps, I'll tell the story of Terry Seabrooke and the Little Rock AR convention.

Hi Todd (with two "Ds") and Marion!
Thank you for the kind words. Here "ist gemuetlichkeit, ja! I think that I shall enjoy many of the conversations. I just checked out your one hand coin change. WOW! WWWONDERFUL! My mind flicked back to Magic Inc. in the mid '70s. I was behind the counter on a Saturday afternoon, when a young man tossed a half dollar from his right hand into his left hand, BUT, when it landed, it was an English Penny! I blinked! Well, it had to be the GOSHMAN FLIP, but I had never seen it done so beautifully. I went to the back room and got Jay out to see it. We agreed. the young man "must be in league with the devil!" Yes! "MAGIC" only happens in the mind of the audience! It has been years. I can't recall where I met Steve Dusheck. He did some great stuff. Unfortunately, I was on the road most of the time, so there wasn't always opportunity to really follow up and get acquainted. Todd>>I hope that the bit with the TT works out for you. Be careful not to RUSH with it. It has served me well for 35 years.

I love all the mentions of putting out a cigarette in a spectator's clothing. it was that very thing, using one of the aforementioned tiny metal TTs, that landed me my first ever restaurant gig. I believe that was 1975.
this thread has also given me a treasure trove of ideas. thanks all! |

Just a couple of ideas - that people probably already know, but maybe worth mentioning for those that don't. 1. When putting a cigarette or match into a TT, it will last a lot longer (if it's a Vernet or plastic tip) by having some silver foil paper pushed inside In advance. I've always used the silver paper simply torn from a cig packet - silver side showing, of course, but you can also use aluminium cooking foil. This way, the tip of the tip won't get burnt/mis-coloured over time, as the silver paper absorbs the heat. 2. Another of Terry Seabrooke's tips was to put a little magicians rope inside - just a few individual strands, cut into small pieces. Especially from a distance (e.g. Cabaret floor), this creates a little more smoke thus adding to the effect that the jacket's actually burning. DON'T be tempted to use flash paper, etc. - too bright a spark/flame with give the game away that you are using a gimmick of some kind. Keep it real - cloth just wouldn't burn that way. Hope these ideas are useful to some of you out there.

Some thoughts.
When vanishing a cig, don't reproduce it. You will hear about that for daz. Payne - The idea with a big silk and little silk penetration is awsome. I mean to say, that is really awsome. Jaz - You're sick. Try this. Get a 18 silk. Push a TT into the well in the fist. Push in a small sponge ball. Curl your fingers to avoid the TT Spider Fingers. Dick Oslund can tell you more about this. Then pull out and grab a corner of the silk. It hides the TT. Slowly pull the silk out of the fist to show silk MT. Hang silk over thumb and spread both hands and fingers wide. It kills. (like many things here) Did this at a lecture at a convention once. The next day I dropped by Goshman's booth to say hi. While there someone said thanks for showing the sponge thing. Goshman then said, "Oh you're the guy that did the sponge silk thing. All day long I've been pestered by people wanting a TT, sponge ball and silk."
Magic Al. Say it fast and it is magical.
