It explains a few things you may have wondered about during the under water stunt. Enjoy!

So whether you have plans or not…like any “holiday” you should always take advantage or people’s mind sets to take your Magic to the next level!

So what effects do I recommend for you to use this Valentine’s Day and the days leading up to it?

Simple. Here is a list of great effects to help you out…(Puns free for you to use too.)

First! FireStarters. Sankey has AMAZING effects and this DVD is no exception to learn some amazing Magic that will put a SPARK between you and your spectator. (Don’t forget the Flash Paper to heat things up!) Or Mesika’s Electric Touch to show off the REAL SPARK between the two of you…

Another thing to keep in mind… girls love the cute things in life. Butterflies actually fall under that category. Check out Caterpillar Love. It’s a sweet twist on Jim Pace’s The Web. Also, check out the effect; Life by Daniel Garcia (found on the Guerilla Guide to LOOPS VOL. 2). It’s an amazing routine, and if you want to learn how to work it without buying the whole Loops DVD at Ellusionist. Check out the source that Garcia learned parts of it from and was part of his inspiration; Folding Money Fooling. (Don’t forget to buy the Loops needed to make that butterfly…FLY.)

Why not show that special someone how they make your pulse race…or even…stop it dead in its tracks when they stare into your eyes. They really can take your breath away and your heart beat skip ALL its beats with CONTROL 2.0.

Wanna get something into your spectators mouth? HAHAHA! Or maybe just a kiss? FRENCH KISS! An amazing IN THE MOUTH transpo that will get your spectator thinking about swapping spit next.

I know! You want to impress that special someone by showing off your money. Don’t you? Hand Out 500 will allow you to do just that!

And my personal favorite love story… This effect works all the time. Girls get all excited about this one. Twilight Angles by Paul Harris. You can get the cards HERE. For learning how to use the gimmick and the routine…two sources. The Art of Astonishment Books or the amazing True Astonishment Project.

If you have any more ideas or thoughts…HIT THE FORUMS and let us know!

Enjoy your Valentine’s Day!

I recently found a great app for my iPhone. I know many of you have one and you probably love your iPhone as much as I do.

For people who don’t have jailbroken 3G or 2G phones, video recording was just a dream. Then 3Gs came out with the feature. Now…there’s an App for that too!

This app, iVideo Camera is only .99 and makes your 3G and 2G iPhone record video and sound like a 3Gs. (Why upgrade now?)

I purchased the app, assuming the worst that could happen is that video quality would be crappy.

To my surprise, it’s a great app that has good sound and camera quality. It has a lower definition and a higher definition setting. A wifi enabled share feature and a supposed 1 min length in film. (I haven’t checked yet.)

According to the developers they are working on an update which will improve the video quality and also the frame rate.
Currently the application only captures about three frames per second.

So now you call can record yourself doing your amazing Street Magic! Or when you’re out to eat! So go record your life and post it up for ExoMagicians to see!

Check out the great, must have, .99 app HERE.

S.M. Productions has some interesting effects lined up for release starting with the next ten days.
There are three effects include in this line-up. “Ultracinese” the PK Nut and Bolt effect by Leondardo Milanes. Which you just need to see to believe. A nice “TWIST” on an old classic. But kind of expensive, considering its $249.95 price tag. It is also suppose to come in an “E-structure” format. (Meaning E-Book?) Granted, the effect is suppose to be “self contained” and very easy to put together. S.M. Productions also says that a part of your revenue from this product goes to BC Children’s Hospital to support the ones in needs.

You will also be able to get your hands on the “Bill X Bill” by Kris M. Which looks likes very similar to “Ghost Bills” by Andrew Mayne. It is a very visual Bill through Bill penetration.

- No Special Gimmicks
- Borrow two bills
- Have both bills signed if desired
- Perform

This too is coming out in an “E-Structure” Format for $24.95 or you can wait to January for the DVD at $29.95.

And my personal favorite project is finally coming to light; The “Tsunami Project.” You have to see it to believe it:

This is going for $30.00 for a E-format or wait till February for the DVD at the same price.. But they also have a special, for $34.95 you can get both.

You can make all your “pre-orders” and read the fine printhere! Remember to let them know that ExoMagic.com/Blog sent you!

A updated illusion featuring the Pocket Sawing in Half gimmick with new features and style.

Watch some videos for the ideas…This seems like a lot of fun and I can’t wait to play around with the idea!
