    What was that Turnover?

    I know what move you're talking about but can't remember the name or where I learned it! Ahhh, that's annoying; It may have been the bottom change in the Royal Road or Expert Card Technique, but I don't think it is.

    Wetting Sponge Balls

    Al's post is spot on! Also, sometimes, if you leave them in a dry place idly for a long time, they can get kinda dry, which is another reason to run water through them. Also, if you use them too much, they can get dry. Sometimes, if you don't need to fully run them through, you can just run...

    What's up with this?

    What these guys said is great advice ^ It's not that they won't perform for kids, just that they can't perform the same material for kids as they would for adults. With kids, it's gotta be a lot more... fun? Not to say that it shouldn't be fun for the adult audience, but with kids, you...

    Advice on the Glide (from Royal Road)

    Theoretically, all you need to do the glide is just one finger. I learned to do it with just my pinky at first, and when I got more comfortable with it, I eventually just got the other fingers on it. Try and use the more natural hold, not exactly what it says. Also, try lightly licking your...

    About a false cut move that i work with...

    It looks like a move, which IMO is the biggest give away that something is going on. No one really cuts the deck like that, especially not that quick. Nice idea though.

    Do you prefer performing magic sitting or standing?

    I would like to make an exception to my earlier post: I said standing because I'm normally performing in a "stand-up" situation. However, if I'm just hanging out with friends at a table or something, I'm gonna perform sitting down, just because that's normal. If the effect requires I stand up...

    Do you prefer performing magic sitting or standing?

    Standing, just because that's how I practice and the scenario I normally perform in. Also, while sitting, I don't like how the frame is "restricted" per say. There are pros and cons to both, but I personally prefer standing.

    Royal Road To Card Magic Common Misprint?

    Wow, that's weird... and probably VERY annoying.

    Royal Road To Card Magic Common Misprint?

    Huh. Idk if that's just an Apple thing, but on Android, it shows pages, notes, scrolling, highlights, etc. , and it's easy to navigate. Have you tried double tapping? That's what it is on Android.

    Odyssey?

    No, buy the size that fits your finger, TXI will send the gimmick one size larger, so that you can perform with it. So buy the size for the ring that it'll be on, because you'll want to be able to wear it, and a ring that doesn't fit would look suspicious, especially since you'll switch the...

    Cards: Borderless and Bordered

    The Main Advantage: Borderless cards allow you to execute some slights easier as the edge of one card easily blends in with the center of another. The Main Disadvantage: You can hide things in the borders, such as small markings or cards turned face up, so bordered cards are preferred by some...

    Royal Road To Card Magic Common Misprint?

    Never noticed that. What version and page? Maybe something to do with what hand people were using in boxing (an Orthodox stance was the "Norm"). Maybe what hand they held the gun in... but this is the late 1940s... huh. Nice observation.

    Card to mouth variations

    I have no clue where I learned it. I think I learned a mercury fold, and then figured out where I could hide stuff with it lol. However, I think Michael Ammar has a DVD (which Andrew linked above I see) I think Expert Card Technique teaches the Mercury Fold, so you may wanna look into that.

    Is exposure a significant problem in magic?

    Man this thread has really taken a strange course. Can we all just agree to disagree at this point? After a certain point, most responses have just become debates where neither side is changing anyone's mind. My final thoughts before I hit unwatch: Exposure is definitely an annoyance, and as...
