Hopping halves by John Kennedy? I think you are confusing John F. Kennedy halves and Johnson's Hopping Halves. Do you mean Supercoin?

It's no magician fooler but honestly it will slay laymen.
Chris has a few gags if you choose to use them, to get the lighter out in play before the trick even begins. I have even just loaded it onto a table during other routines, so when I ask for the lighter they beleive it's not even mine! It's the best "card to box" version out there A true worker, end of!! |

TT
Red/Blue Backer Card (Don't think so? Get Dan Harlan's A Little R & B) A Copper/Silver Coin A good 50 cent Shell (Johnson's) Add four regular half dollars, an English Penny (to match the c/s coin), and a deck of regular bikes and you will always have an act. Of course you must learn to use these weapons of mass entertainment well, but I just saying. |

No need to apologise
I just wondered what you thought the best must have gimmick is as you only said a book.

Overall I would say TT by far, however honorable mentions must go to the "shell", "topit", IT, and "roughing fluid" IMO

Good lord.
Here, I'll make it easy and useful: Forget gimmicks, they're not going to make you an instant magician. You need information first, period- and starting with Royal Road is only going to frustrate the heck out of you at this point. That's like throwing the Encylopedia Brittanica at a third grader. Get the following books, in this order: Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic Tarbell's Course Then, once you've digested the contents, you'll have a good idea what type of magician/area of magic you want to work in. THEN start looking at gimmicks, but not before you pick up two more books, both by the same author: Bill Severn's Best Magic Bill Severn's Magic Workshop You can build for yourself gimmicks that are sold commercially for a fraction of the cost. There ARE, however, gimmicks that you will use, but you need to know HOW to use them first. Indispensible: Thumb Tip Sponge Balls Silks Rope

I agree. except Royal road is a great beginner's book. Bill Severn's books are also incredible.

I thought we were discussing must have gimmicks on this thread, NOT books.
Xiqual, please try to stay on topic or contribute your thoughts on books in a more relevant section of the board such as Books, Pamphlets & Lecture Notes. So, what do you think the best must have gimmick is?

We ARE. Would you give the keys to a Cadillac to someone who doesn't know how to drive?

Okay, then how about you offer a suggestion for a must have gimmick instead of belittling those of us offering useful advice? I have yet to see YOU bring anything to the table...
Regardless... @Markygee: Just remember that gimmicks aren't going to make you a good magician without the knowledge of how to use them, and present them in an entertaining way. Best of luck out there!
