Welcome to the discussion forum on “Magic & Illusion.”

This site is a place for anyone with an interest in magic to obtain answers to their questions, find out about the latest magic events, learn how to perform magic, exchange information between magic pros and chat.

Although your Guide is always available to answer your questions and queries, using the forum will be more beneficial since your message will reach a greater number of people. As a result, a large number of people can contribute to or benefit from the discussions. Feel free to use this forum to ask questions, express your opinion, and spread relevant information.

Please remember, your can refer users to relevant sites, but advertisements are not allowed. Your “Site Name” Guide will visit the forum regularly and will contribute to (and moderate) all discussions.

Feel free to ask questions related to magic, but keep in mind that you cannot reveal, expose or discuss magic secrets. This site is a resource for those who are interested in learning, performing and discussing magic. It is not a site for exposing the workings and secrets of magic effects.

I welcome you to ask for help with effects in the forum, but I ask magicians to please be careful with your wording and descriptions, and write your advice in such a way that non-magicians won’t be able to figure out the secret. For example, I encourage visitors to use well known terms to magicians that include DL, IT, Tip-over box and more. It’s a fine line, I know, but we don’t want our site to become a place where casual visitors may learn the secrets of our art.

If you need help with a magic effect, please feel free to post your question or problem on this bulletin board. Then, anyone can answer your specific questions or problems by e-mail.
