Judging by your background, I think you would really like the Card College Volumes (1-5) by Robert Giobbi. You can buy the entire set for about $185 or just the first book for about $35 if you want to test the waters with it first.

I don't think so since you still wouldn't know how it works until you see the tutorial. Plus laymen don't really go on magic sites unless they are buying gifts for a magician. So if the purpose is to entertain laymen and specifically to laymen on social media, I don't think branding it that way...

@RealityOne 1. I should be clear that I didn't mean that no one should release any magic ever again. I think creating new magic is important and vital to the industry's growth which is part of my answer to the question you asked Grant. The main idea that I was trying to drive at with my first...

Sounds like my kind of place!

If they created a new label for selling magic such as "camera only effect" then I would have no problem with that since my false advertisement complaint goes away and that would be a very pro-consumer option. This is so true! I think I may try to do a video project explaining my process of...

I don't have the reviews up yet but I'll share some of the performance videos with you so you can see what I was referring to. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-YU39pFMcbjQ0xWZXZfb0IwbWs/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-YU39pFMcbja2Zta19ETWJaMHc/view?usp=sharing

Oh boy I could write an entire essay on this but I'll try to keep it brief to a respectable forum post length and to get this conversation back on topic (remember it's about things that magicians are currently doing wrong). Magic and culture is constantly evolving and at an exponential rate...

Oh boy I can't wait to see the can of worms I open with this one.... Sorry for the length of video. I just had a lot I had to get off my chest. My next reviews won't be nearly as long. Would love to hear all of your thoughts on this though whether you agree or disagree with me. I hope you will...

If you think you are ready then you could check out Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase.

Cheap looking? Man if only that echoed with some of the prices! The flash appearance prop I want is $4,500. I certainly see a lot of the points that you raise but I wonder if it really matters in the long term scheme of things. Magic is a business before it's an art (despite what we like to...

So my favorite effects that I perform are typically stage effects and they are out of the $100 price range which is why I was recommending street magic effects. Books definitely give you the most bang for your buck and RealityOne gave you a really great recommendation of Paul Harris's Art of...

So if I'm out and about performing street magic I always like to do magic with borrowed objects. That's the inspiration behind some of my own creations that I use to perform street style with. My current opener is Ring Flight Revolution which begins by borrowing a ring. My belief is that magic...

Yeah I definitely get what you mean. The presentation I use (not sure if it's captured before my friend started filming) is I noticed a girl wearing a ring at a party and I asked her if she would like to see me do a magic trick with it. I placed it on my finger and acted like it was too small...

Congrats! I'll probably head out to the Cleveland show since that is not too far from me. One of my friends, Trino, is currently touring with Masters of Illusion as well.

I have Ring Flight Revolution and I use my ungimmicked Odyssey ring to practice with it all the time. It's a "heavy" ring so the issues you are having with a light ring should be corrected with Odyssey ungimmicked ring. You shouldn't be able to see a ring fly into a pocket even if the ring is...

As to what I personally would buy with $100 based on what you listed you already have (Double Cross, Sleeper, and Odyssey) I would recommend Break by Uday Jadugar and Regeneration by Blake Vogt, both of which are found here on Theory11. If either one of those don't meet your fancy I would...

I was referring to when you try to post something on Facebook and they autofill it with suggestions based on other information such as friends, likes, etc. So the idea was that I would say that I was trying to make a prediction post but Facebook corrected it for me with it's autofill prediction.

If I were performing this I would use the plot of Facebook has become so integrated into our lives that they say it knows us better than we know ourselves due to data mining. I would then tell an example of how Target was able to know how a father's daughter was pregnant before he even knew and...

For the Rick Lax video haters you encounter just direct them to Scott Alexander's "Rick Lax" music video! I got that stuck in my head currently. :D

Meme game is on point sir!
