Columnist: Mike Rogers Selecting Material by Mike Rogers I have been asked just how I go about selecting performing material. It seems the process might be simple. Just find the tricks you enjoy using and put them in the act. I have a feeling that’s exactly how many do it. There are thousands of effects […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers High Tech Wizard HIGH TECH WIZARD by Mike Rogers Remember the trick we did years ago called The Wizard? A spectator removed a card and the magician then made a phone call asking “Is the Wizard there?” At this time the accomplice on the other end would start counting until the count […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers By Mike Rogers I’d better put the firewalls up, for I know I’ll be flamed to the max for what I’m about to say. However, something has me bothered. It’s simply this. When is it acceptable to do the act or material of another? Why would I ask that? It is old […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers by Mike Rogers I think most magicians enjoy a good gag, so I’ll share one that I have used for several years during the holiday season. It’s a spoof on those appalling family news letters that show up with greeting cards this time of the year. This letter is not original. It […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers HER CARD, HIS NUMBER by Mike Rogers (Inspirational credit to Paul Alberstat) The effect where any thought of card appears at any named number in the deck has tweaked the interest of card men for several years.

Columnist: Mike Rogers REFLECTING By Mike Rogers Reflecting on my years in magic I look back upon what I expected to happen vs. what has actually happened. As a kid growing up in a small Wyoming town there were no other magicians. When I finished high school I had probably seen a total of ten […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers Hanging Out by Mike Rogers I have never been one to hang out in magic shops. I’ve never known why and I’ve never given it much thought. I do know that many magic shops are social gathering spots where magicians meet to visit. It’s just never been something I’ve done. However, I […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers By Mike Rogers I love a good gag. I don’t mean unkind pranks or dirty tricks, but instead I mean those rare times when you can set someone up for a truly surprising moment that catches them totally off guard. Moreover, it should be enjoyed by all including the victim. I’ll relate […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers Your Number Down Mike Rogers Here’s a cute “betcha” you can use when there’s a willing and ready spectator allowing you to kill time with a deck of cards at his expense. Follow along with cards in hand to get the idea. The magician holds a packet of face down cards. Spectator […]
