You get to perform for the coolest people James! Johnny Thompson and now Jessica Nigri? The only semi-famous person I ever got to perform for was Eric Ross.

I liked the first one well enough (wasn't great, wasn't terrible) but the second one was a snooze fest for me. Magic films that I like are The Prestige, Burt Wonderstone, and the Houdini film by History channel (don't judge me, I know it's not historically accurate but I liked the presentation...

Welcome!

My buddy and I working on this project using borrowed money such as coins and bills. Another concept I have been playing with is Tequila Hustler Deluxe which can use a borrowed coin. ID7 by Rick Lax has potential to be good if you can come up with your own presentation. Shoot me a PM if you need...

If you're referring to pre-show (which is my guess) I don't think that would be revealing the method. My justification is that it wouldn't be revealing what the pre-show work would be and thus not revealing the method. Maybe I'm wrong in that justification. If so, a moderator can censor this post.

I think that's what happened. Also, these sort of videos gets millions of views so from a business stand point, it makes sense to create this false dogma against magicians.

It's the fourth Scott Alexander penguin lecture that has Harlan in it as well.

I dig it! Good work!

I just censored it because I'm not quite sure if it would be considered exposure on the forums here and I just didn't want to upset anyone. Decided to play it better safe than sorry.

Your best financial bet is to just buy two $3 decks from a store like RealityOne suggested. I personally just pick up two red rider backs and call it good for any effect that requires d*********.

I still do the guerrilla style street magic. Although, like Blaine, I don't show the interactions that take place before the camera starts rolling. 9/10 times I'm usually the one that gets approached by strangers to be asked what we are doing (my cameraman has a shoulder rig mounted on him so...

I unfortunately lost their business card.

Very inspiring words David! Thank you for a very detailed review. I thought this would be Madison teaching Erdnase, I had no idea it was his own spin on being an Erdnase. Definitely considering picking this up!

Yo Tom I remember you from Luke Dancy's Hangouts! Best of luck in creating your deck! I met a few companies at a magic convention based in Ohio that specialize in creating custom decks that people want to create. Try to look them up.

No and yes (there are several apps, just have to know where to look). The reason I say no is the very fact that you are asking if you are ready to start doing gigs means you are not. No one else is going to know if you are ready or not for a gig, only you can answer that question and you will...

So what I have is a huge book of Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. I always just thought it was one giant book but perhaps I am missing volumes? As far as what I have from the book that I use, anything that is in pages 435-469, serpentine silk, impossible rope escape, rope and coat...

You are absolutely correct. French Kiss is Switchcraft by Scarne. If you know Switchcraft, you know French Kiss. The only thing original that Wayne did was have the spectator put the card in their mouth. Originality, presentations, and ownership in magic is a very tricky subject. Often times...

I think it's okay since you don't know 100% how it's done, therefore it's really your own take on it. Now copying a routine or script beat for beat would be considered stealing in most people's books but I think in the case of figuring out an effect and making it your own you are well within...
