    Top change help.

    The hang up can be gotten rid of with a light touch, as mentioned before. Also make sure that you're not in a hurry to execute the move and you PROPERLY slide the original second card off the deck (the one which'll end up in your dominant hand at the end) even if you need to slide it off just...

    What magic books should I get? (Beginner)

    True, I guess I should have clarified... I meant that please, OP, don't buy any more books for now. Stick to these. To be honest, I bought Modern Coin Magic 5 years ago and I'm still learning (and I'm not an absolute nincompoop). So...

    What magic books should I get? (Beginner)

    Here's a tip... Don't buy anymore. I promise you, the next-book syndrome is hellish cruelty to those who want to learn something about anything at all. The books you've listed are FABULOUS honestly, and stick with them until you're sure you've gone through at least 1/3rd of each book. :)

    What does "Most magicians should have this in their drawer somewhere" mean?

    Aaaaaaaand... I have none. #howtofeelexcluded101 (T_T)

    Magic presentations by age

    Movies are amazing, but if you want to appeal to the current Gen Z or something, I guess music culture is the way to go XD But yeah, as for movies, speaking in general (since I'm sure you got great input from google and your sources) if you want to relate to people, just talk about torrents :D

    On a Definition of Magic

    [insert applause] (*no sarcasm*) My thread feels validated. Thank you. [insert nervous emoji] PS:- The last part of your definition reminds me of a quote by S.H. Sharpe... It is my belief that magic would be a great power of inspiration and diversion in the future than it ever has been in...

    The Spanish School Of Magic

    True...I mean, it's not like we have to choose... (Unlike the above vote, which pains my heart...there haff veen no votes for Krum's school! XD)

    Help

    Read Magic in Mind avaible in Vanishing Inc. And understand that for some people, shouting is 'big', while for some people just staring dumbfounded is 'big'. Identify what you're making people feel, not how you're making them react. :) If they ARE non-reactive as a part of their nature, you...

    Is there any online article available about the Spanish School?

    The Spanish School Of Magic

    There is an ''American School Of Magic'' as I discovered. Check out this...it's a podcast though... http://discourseinmagic.com/being-conscious-about-your-magic-with-manuel-llaser/

    The Spanish School Of Magic

    Can somebody please link good sources of websites or articles or ANYTHING online and free and readable or watchable, about the Spanish School of Magic and its intricacies? Also, what is meant by a 'school' of magic? I'm assuming it means a way of thinking about and performing magic, but I'd...

    (Yay, I'm Indian too XD XD) Um...I don't get really what you mean by peak-time, lel. But looking at your list, really, everything except the doves sounds good. Although ofc the appearing cane for example, is a very VERY short effect...so...just group 3-ish of them and you'll probably be good...

    Where to learn the classic pass?

    And that's the only fear I have with using RRTCM and ECT T_T

    Where to learn the classic pass?

    Hmn... Each one to their own opinion I guess. ECT's Turnover Pass is great I'd say, and well, I think it isn't smart to be a purist in case of sleights. SEE, ALL IN ALL, @The Top Change Man ...fact remains that in many cases the double undercut is the best control out there as compared to any...

    Where to learn the classic pass?

    Well, yeah, both are passes, true... But the classic pass shifts the TOP packet down...and the Hermann Pass shifts the BOTTOM packet up. Thus is most cases, the Hermann Pass and its variations are better-covered. PS:- Just found out that the Hermann Pass is wrongly named and is actually the...

    Insights needed upcoming stage magic for 700 people

    See, as per my experience mentalism is acceptable tl ANY audience typically, either as genuine mind-reading stuff, or pseudo-science. But if you don't wanna do it...I guess... I think you should leave out doves...a certain Western YT-Magician sorta...defamed that branch quite a bit...more so if...

    Where to learn the classic pass?

    Xavior Spade has a great resource too...and btw, the Turnover Pass is the best imo. PS:- Isn't Hermann Pass different from Classic Pass?

    Beginners thoughts on tricks vs routines

    I dunno about seasoned magicians but well... I think these videos do a bit of both. A few weeks ago I had asked all my contacts, and their contacts and their contacts (so as to make the ''research'' more widespread) whether they liked the quicker flashier stuff or the drawn out storylined...

    What is the audience like and what do you already know that'd be relatable to the audience? That would be a good place to start imo.
