There's no real way to control theft. I think the emphasis, then, should be on proper crediting. But then as to how many thiefs are so moralistic, I have no idea.

Exactly. The more cards end up being your 11th finger, the better. There's a reason magicians perform card magic so much. :) 'Flourish', as far as I know. speaks in a gruff voice Pain is good. Kid. ( :-D )

Sorry for not making it that clear man, but yeah I was just kidding. :p

That's it. Penn keeps doing it and here he actually revealed the force! I was this far... THIS FAR from loving him and Teller and he RUINED IT! PS:- Thank you so much for posting this. It was super-informative.

There's a magicpedia?!? Oh of course there is... hopefully with more accuracy though than its general counterpart.

Video title: Penn Jillette 'exposes' magic for free. Me: There's more exposing done on Fool Us episodes than this video.

I understand XD You made the effect look great though.

That's pretty much all the things you'd need for a good few years worth of magic, along with some basic sleights, however... As others said, get a new deck of cards. If you can't get one right now, or if a new deck betrays you and starts clumping up, why don't you do the sleights which REQUIRE...

It's amazing how you keep glaring at her till she has a decent sip, and then nod appreciatively. I feel the love. :-)

Suppressing my urge to sing out aloud... Is it worth it to spend days wondering if a non-card effect can be done for a show? Or is it better to just do something awesome with the cards?

Just wondering, there are so many magicians learning from YT videos. What if there's some great magician-in-being out there who learns from these fake exposure videos, actually practises and perfects the effects, and 10 years later we see them getting international praise and accolades for...

If in the next UN climate change summit the world leader don't come up with real, tangible plans to deal with the problems recklessness has caused, then the future is dark. And I mean the next 5 years, when I say 'future'. But then I look at some of the world leaders today, and let's just say...

(Although this post seems pretty old and the OP has probably improved a lot) How to get most from books? Read. Be Patient. Remind yourself over and over again that the easiest effect in RRTCM will hit stronger than the hardest effect taught in a YT video. Where to start? Wherever you open...

People care about all of us. And we must always remember that. Meanwhile, I'm sure that everybody reading this also loves somebody, whether in a familial, romantic or friendly way, that's beside the point. The point is, please stop feeling awkward and show and shout out that love. Nobody can...

Thank you so much!! (+_+) I had given up all hope that anybody would help me at all with this...thanks!

Performing magic. Being a web-designer or developer for any of the multitude of magic websites coming up. The very idea that I can take an absolutely uninteresting and useless thing and do something downright astonishing, and maybe even beautiful, with it. A cylindrical skin-coloured piece of...

I tend to talk a lot. And therefore, as much as I can, I try to avoid talking too much in the first place, while performing XD Otherwise, yes, I am trying to avoid the statement pick a card. And an overused statement I don't need to avoid, because (thankfully) I never did say it frequently, is...

Of course, Dai Vernon's Spellbound. Also, maybe do a retention vanish, and replace the empty hand with a different coin? Pretty simple to achieve, to be honest, these coin colour changes. O:- )

I'd have posted this on the cardistry forum, but waterfall's a pretty-magician-y move as well (and sue me, and also, I have no idea why but...people don't reply or remain active on the cardistry forum. Ironical when cardistry is so fun!). So yes, tips to do the waterfall? (I finally want to...
