    All tricked out and nowhere to go - How do you build routines?

    While I'm not ready to reveal my dream street routine for busking (I don't have all the necessary materials yet and I'll probably do a YouTube lecture on it later), I'll share with you my current Tyler Scott set consisting most of my own creations and working material. This will hopefully give...

    Sleeper Comparison

    I'm not too sure about Kunalini Rising but I can speak about Sleeper. What makes Sleeper unique is that it has a locking mechanism that causes the rising card to "sleep" in a deck that doesn't even need a card box to hide the gimmick. Whenever you are ready, you can unlock the gimmick to cause...

    3 Routines for the rest of your life. What would they be?

    I'm not up to date on Australian laws but are they more laxed on paintball guns since that's basically what Velocity 3.0 is. But yeah I can't imagine what the overall cost of that would be with the import fees and legal fees.

    All tricked out and nowhere to go - How do you build routines?

    What Christopher said here should be your first starting point. Figure out who your character is, try to jot down as many details about them as you can even if they aren't relevant later, and then begin to write a script. As a film maker, I know that script writing is a process that varies for...

    Must haves?

    Top 3 (that I own) are: 1. Break: 2. Dresscode (review pending) 3. Invisible Card: I'm hoping to get Double Cross and Regeneration soon. I hear they are very good. A runner up for me would also be Sleeper by Eoin O'Hare.

    1. Nailed It 2. The Needles 3. Houdini Chain Escape At some point I'm hoping to include Velocity 3.0 in my act but currently don't have the funds. :(

    Invisible card

    I did a review of Invisible Card on my channel if you want an in depth analysis of it. I included a live performance I did of it for a crowd of people as well in the video: There is a possibility of failure with the Invisible Card. You need to be really careful when performing it and know that...

    Where do people start out once they have learnt tricks ??

    I don't know any other way to explain it other than just getting out there and doing it. I'll try to elaborate more. You need to get experience performing for all sorts of people in all types of scenarios. Thanks to guys like David Blaine, street magic is pretty socially acceptable and when you...

    What to do with Old Stuff

    I usually just store stuff that I don't think I will use anymore in a box or drawer and just hold on to it until the moment hits that I may need to use it again. Sometimes we need to invest more time into what we already have rather than investing in new tricks.

    Blank Cards prediction

    I'm not sure of the exact effect you are referring to but a similar effect can be achieved with Colossal Blizzard 2.0. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/7418

    What is a persona to you?

    I get what he was saying. The reason I don't necessarily agree with that is because I think it comes down to acting skills. Even outside of magic, actors portray roles that are completely separate from who they are as a person. A lot of the time the best actor for the role is someone who is...

    Complete beginner to magic

    Books are a good start if you don't need to learn from video. If you are interested in cards, Jason England has a release on here about where to begin with cards. He gives his recommended reading list for books that teach you card tricks/techniques. Penguin, SansMind, and Ellusionist have free...

    What is a persona to you?

    You're straw manning me here since that is not at all what my post said. The point I was trying to make is the people that are stage are different from who they are in real life. They dress different, talk different, and act differently. It's like they become a different person. Whether it's...

    best smoke machine

    I have SSS 2015 and highly recommend it. You won't be mobile with it but it's pretty reliable for getting smoke on a table.

    best smoke machine

    VAPR unfortunately became a dud for me as well and I never got to use it in performance. It worked two times and now it no longer will produce smoke due to a heater coil problem if my suspicions are correct. Luckily David Bonsall has come up with a solution to fix it and I may purchase the...

    Question about Counterfeit?

    I'll probably have a review video of Counterfeit coming up down the road. I'll be sure to include a live performance so you can get a better idea on how I perform it in front of people.

    david blaine: beyond magic

    I definitely think Real or Magic in 2013 was better than Beyond Magic but I enjoyed it overall. I see it as one big promotion and publicity stunt to get hype built for his tour. One thing that I did like about this TV special more than the others is the fact that he gave some other performers...

    Question about Counterfeit?

    I'm referring to the beginning display when all four pieces are shown. I don't think anything important has been given away. The method is still safe. I made sure to be very careful in what I wrote. No one will be able to figure out the method based on this conversation.
