    Need advice on books.

    Personally I think that it is best to keep all the books you already have and get your library as large as possible. You never know when you need to refer back to something and more often than not it is in that darn book you sold!!! Why don't you sell some other stuff instead?

    Advancing our art! Time to start caring about our audience.

    Whats the point of knowing awesome tricks if you can't show them to anyone and have them experience them?? Loved the write up!

    How to stand out among other magicians...?

    Even if your tricks are on the same level by doing a different kind of trick it should make yours more memorable. Don't do the third card trick, or coin trick or whatever. As long as the trick is as good it will stand out. Also being the last person to perform is best because the last person...

    Card trick i created

    I agree, be nice to see how smooth it is and what patter you use etc ... Put something up on youtube if you can.

    Card Finesse

    I think that the site needs a bit of work still as it isn't as slick as most websites out there. If I was choosing between this website and T11 to buy Crush there is no comparison in which website looks more reliable and professional. Good idea but more development before it can be a serious...

    That Friggin Trick...

    Most of my tricks fall into this category, but that may be because I'm only just starting out.

    Serious Practice Schedule for the Summer

    I like the idea of a schedule. I have had a deck of Bicycles since last Friday and am keen to get into a routine of what I should learn. Anyone have an order of the basics. Hope I am not hijacking this thread. Let me know if I should post another.

    Need input please

    Wow that looked great! Don't know anything about coin magic (yet) so I don't even know if this is what you have done, but at 0:37 it looks like there is two coins there? It looked a little odd the first time viewing - I didn't really see anything but just looked a bit off, so I watched it...

    T11 Photo Contest

    I like the sounds of that! Although my camera is broken at the moment but I am sure that I can find one to participate with.

    Why Magic Needs Patter

    I agree I think that patter is a needed element. It draws people into the trick and they have something to buy into. Not a criticism but on your video it seems that you do a lot of talking? Maybe to much patter? Just a personal opinion. btw Great trick :)

    New to magic

    I too am new to magic and tried a trick on my wife the other day. I don't think that my instructions and patter were clear enough so I needed to stop her and get her to do things in a specific way which really ruins the trick. When I look at other magicians doing tricks their performances seem...

    Creator's Confusion

    I was able to get a coy of Daniel Madison's Dangerous (Go see if you haven't already, its brilliant!) and in the end credits he gives the original inspiration and/or technique that the trick was modified from. I don't personally have any original material but then again I am a newbie!
