Countless magic spending cash? Does money just appear under your pillow when summer hits with a note attached, "For magic."? Boy wouldn't that be nice. The only thing magic related I've bought this summer are some small dry erase boards to use with a new routine in my stage show.

Yeah, that was definitely a one-up. But to be fair, just the experience alone was about a twelve-up.
|
Liam

I'm gonna go buy my own magic theatre at Casino Niagara now, as well as 10 new stage illusions. Take THAT, Liam! 
I also forgot to add 13 Steps to Mentalism, and Zone Zero by Jerry Andrus to the list.

Actually yes. I was able to get Criss Angel's effect The Wish Pillow and that has been awesome. He's real magic, I tells ye!

Instead of spending money...I've been making hundreds of dollars an hour performing. Do I number-up anybody for that?
|
Liam
|
ya brian, you win...
|
BrianMillerMagic
|
I'm going to be spending quite a bit soon actually, so the joke's on me.
|
Liam
|
what are you buying?
|
BrianMillerMagic
|
A gorgeously custom made ventriloquist puppet. In a few weeks once I have him/her (haven't quite decided yet) I'll post photos!
|
Liam

I recently returned from Vegas and San Fransisco where I had a blast hanging out with some fun guys.
While I was there I picked up about 50 different books, some of which are pretty obscure (like, Quinns book on cheating- that'll set you back about $200...).
I also received some free crap, like notes, decks, etc.
All in all, I got some crazy stuff.

p.s.
I spent time hanging with the Bucks, chilled at Chris Kenner's House, and spent 2 straight days with Allan Ackerman and Jason England... and made money doing it. Do I get any points?
|
Michael Kras

Dude, you get 999 points... lose one because Katie doesn't seem to remember you... only as "the guy with Jason".

I got quite a few packages in the mail today!!!
I got Mental Yarn... verdict: Excellent bang for your buck, a powerful mentalism piece with everything included that can be performed any time, anywhere. 9/10
Bicycle Tragics.... verdict: For serious card guys and collectors only. Look amazing and very creepy but do not handle well... clump right out of the box. 6/10
Close-Up Pad... verdict: Excellent quality, I just plain needed one of these again. 8/10
Wynns... verdict: A beautiful deck of cards, handle brilliant, will become collectors items. 9/10
Still to come: Totally Out Of Control by Chris Kenner, Reel Magic Quarterly 3, Steamboats, Tally Ho's, Bulldog Squeezers, Bicycle Faded, Magician Magazine Issue 1, Zone Zero.

Sankey's Compact Compass is such a great packet trick. I still have one laying around somewhere. Devour 13 Steps to Mentalism man.
|
Michael Kras

Oh I already am! I love it, especially the section on Lip, Muscle, Sound, and Pencil Reading!

That stuff is tricky to use though; make sure you study it enough. Very cool if you can get it down.
|
Michael Kras

Of course, I already am working on it, with the help of some trusted confederates.
