Sounds like a parlour sized show. Id suggest performing effects that play big. Avoid card tricks if possible and try to use props that can be seen fairly well from the back of the room.

What was the reason it was declined?

Been tossing around the idea of a “2 Tone” themed deck based on the Ska Movement in the 50’s. Include the “rude boy” and what not.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing! If anyone has any questions about it feel free to reach out. I am going to go ahead and close this thread since it is a bit old. Thanks again for sharing!

Awesome! Hes a good friend of mine! Great guy. Worked with him on Cholos Try a couple years ago. :) *STRONG LANGUAGE WARNING*

It is official. I will be attending the 2019 Blackpool convention as well as doing a UK lecture tour (dates to come) and was curious if anyone is going. Would love to say hello! I’ll be working the Ninja+ booth in the dealers hall. Would love to get some jams amd meetups going as well for...

Depending on how backed up the T11 staff is, the amount of research needed for your effect, or when you uploded it (its the holidays so it may be busier for them) it may take longer to get it apporved. I have had to wait 3 weeks for approval before. Other times it is approved within 24 hours...

Insecond Lavand’s work. Also, look i to slwights that focus on the left hand. For example rather than performing a right handed top palm, maybe switch it up and perform a left handed bottom palm for card to pocket/impossible location routines. Get creative with it. Im sure you will be able to...

Rick nailed it. Id suggest giving this a try.

I rarely add material to my act that isnt mine, however I love Zandman’s book tests. I use them in a bit I perform with a sonic screwdrive from Doctor Who. Its fun!

Get your spectator multitasking. As them a question while applying the X or while holding their wrists ask them to take a step towards you. This would be a great motivation to why you are touching them as well. The trick is to keep their mind preoccupied with something else. If performed well...

Shoot ogawa’s matrix is the one I perform. Its pretty simple handling wise. Here is a performance of it:

The pass is a basic move. I never said it was easy or simple. But it is a basic control. You will still need to work hard on it to get it to look smooth.

Best thing I can suggest is to hire an AMA magician for your event and they will more than likely be happy to invite you. AMA members are not too keen on random strangers hitting them up for access.

Using a single small part of someone else act isnt a huge deal. Id say as long as it is done tastefully it is fine. Having said that it depends what it is. For example, I was performing a bottle production using a bottle opener. I used to use the line “you know what the magicians first trick...

It depends on your definition of “stealing an act.” If you mean do you have the right to perform it, then it depends. Did you buy the act from the creator? If so I woukd say the script is part of it unless it is specified not to use it (sometimes you will see dvds or books retain performance...

-Pass -Double Undercut -Top Change -Depth Illusion / Tilt -Convincing Control All fairly basic moves. Some will require a ton of practice to make look seemless however they are a good arsenal of moves to have in your pocket. Most if the moves above can be modified to control cards to the bottom...

I believe Morelli teaches how to switch in/out the ring and gimmick in the tutorial for odyssey no? If he doesn't that is a huge missed opportunity. I personally would just keep the extra ring in my pocket and when the time comes steal it out by casually placing my hand in my pocket. As for...

I was in the same boat as you. I am a closeup magician but have started booking larger venues 200-300 people on average. I took things I already know and learned to make them play big. Here are a few examples: -Linking Rings: I think right now most people know me as "the linking ring guy."...

Id suggest trying it the other way round. Perform odessy and end with the real ring. Hand it out to be examined then as almost an afterthought perform the reflex/divorce moves. This way they feel the ring was examined both before and adter even though technically speaking the gimmick was used...
