Although I don't really agree with what @ChristopherT says abt Dynamo...we all have our own preferences, right? And tbh...although am quite a Dynamo fan (drew a portrait of him myself and stuck it on my cupboard door), I am more of a fan of his general nature than his performance style. But even...

Wait wait guys...I feel we are too off with this or maybe (the most probable reason) is that I could not make you guys understand me clearly...my bad. I want to buy some good books (as I have indicated earlier in my posts) and therefore, can I please (if it is possible, I hope I am not being...

Thanx! Appreciate it...

nope, it's a pre-requisite? I mean, I know WHAT it is...and I can sort of do it with, as I said, not the full deck but a half or a third or something. Do I need to master it with a full deck completely to get this flourish down?

That's where am learning or rather, trying to learn from...but I can't.

So...no specific book recommendations eh?

1) Which direction does the card slide out? 2) Put your index finger wherever you desire :-) 3) See Jay Sankey's, 52Kards' and Disturb Realities tutorials on the pass. Combine all their tips to get a perfect pass. But I too would recommend Royal Road to Card Magic. The three tutorials I...

Some confessions:- 1) I use ALL the psychological tricks to persuade people I learn thru magic in my daily life. 2) When I need to sneak things in somewhere (like when my mother tells me to take just one chocolate and I want around 6...call me childish, I don't care, eating and sneaking...

Okay, so I need the name of a source that will help me perform this:- Now, I know for a fact that it is not a 'tech-thing' because I've seen Dynamo perform this for an audience where he throws a ball to the audience and they name a place, a month, a time, an artist and other stuff...and...

You prolly have got loads of sound advice and I dunno if someone suggested this, but here's my two cents... 1st cent:-Get a clear idea in your mind about what the effect is and what sleights are you strong with AND what sleights you wanna learn. Some sleights make such an amazing effect that it...

Your post prolly helps me too :-) But, personally speaking...I would LOVE if someone tells me the list of tricks in any book, and which ones they like, etc. I'd prefer it even more if they tell the methods of the tricks in the book too, personally speaking XD Well, man proposes and God...

Sorry guys, my bad :p MARLO'S convincing control...thanx for correcting me:-)

One criteria is that they should amaze you... I know that the guys who knows a few tricks may know some SUPER amazing stuff...he might get good reactions, but his spectators won't really be amazed. Think about it, has it really NEVER happened with you that you go ahead and say, eat some kind of...

So, actually speaking in general...how does one make the convincing control look better? I do understand it is a LOT of mirror practice, but are there any tips in general for making it look better, as in not making it visible at all ? *Lol, the irony of magic...you practice something to make...

the other two?

Mate mate mate...I asked you that because if you had that book, I would have asked you what kind of effects it has. You mistrusted moi? :'( Its fine tho :)

Also, Dynamo's book is Rs.1183. So imagine spending $1183 first XD Also, Wilson's comes cheaper...

You have Dynamo's book?

Aaaand, I am a close-up magician.

So I am DEFINITELY going to buy Tricks of the Mind by Derren Brown. The question is:- Should I buy 1) Dynamo Book of secrets 2) Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic? I am a Dynamo-fan and would have bought his autography first, but then he released this and I wanted to buy it ever since. But...
