I would honestly just send another support ticket and they should fix it for you.

I either use them to practice the mercury card fold or I use them in effects that I have printed things on the cards like lip / kiss prints or black finger prints and start giving them out and letting people keep them at the conclusion of the effect. Or...I simply have just tossed some in the...

Nice Craig. Sounds like good times. I would venture to say most of the young'ins here probably don't know who Elvira is...maybe Dolly Parton.

Glad you caught that Parker. I actually had no intention on wording it like that so that is actually pretty funny how it came out.

Well....mark tonight down as a first for me. After 10 years of performing, tonight, at a Casino Night Fundraiser event I had a very attractive lady with fake breasts, pick up my deck of cards and shove them in her cleavage right in front of me and her husband. I just laughed and pulled out my...

Check this thread out. Knock yourself out and be prepared to make some purchases. http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?23930-MAGIC-CON-2010-Definitive-Recommended-Reading-List

I think he is happy that his screen name / username is Tricks. That is about the extent I got out of it.

Good and Not expensive probably do not go together when discussing DSLRs. The reason being is not only will you need the camera body, but a tripod, memory cards that read at FAST speeds (which are expensive as heck), and a 50 mm 1.8f lens (because it shoots crisp video a bit nicer than the stock...

When is the event? How much practice time can you get in? Budget? As far as cost efficiency, you can't go wrong with ropes on stage as far as visibility. You could do a Fiber Optics routine, a linking rope / rings routine, etc. Um...what about some mentalism on stage but using staff members...

Luis, I love reading your real life magician experiences. I can totally relate to some of them. The most I've booked in one day is 3 gigs which were all 2 hours a piece. I was completely exhausted by the end of that day as well. Isn't that the worst feeling in the world when you arrive to...

I am not sure if Denny is out there anymore. I know his shop is but I think he has coworkers run it as I believe he runs the shop in Maryland. I could be wrong but that was where he was 2 years ago.

My first trial run will be this Friday for my 4th grade classes at school. I will have 3 different tries at it (Clarity Box) so I will see what tends to work best. Thank for the info Luis. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks David. I will try that. I'm assuming that will take and clean up some of that "scraping" or clicking sound on the slide back?

If you cannot purchase the entire Tarbell set...this is another option worth looking into. A few guys in our IBM ring purchased it and are quite pleased. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/2492

You may want to look at Doc Eason's Out to Dinner metal clip. Very easy yet convincing. I also use Ultra telethought Wallet 2 by Chris Kenworthey every time I do table hopping or strolling. Also as others have mentioned....keep the back white / blank for sure and go with a matte finish on the...

I do what Krab does. I go to Sam's club and buy 12 decks of bicycles for $14.00 and they are just fine for what I do. If I am worried about farrow shuffling or performing under strict conditions I'll go with the gold seal Richard Turner Bicycles which I grab from Penguin Magic.

Randy...that is kind of what I have been thinking about all day. Maybe just pointing to the Clarity Box and stating, "This box has been sitting here the entire time...blah blah blah.... and as everyone looks just hit the mercury fold then and try to talk over the "sound" of the fold.

Thank you kindly gentleman. I will look into these resources. I know I really need to just suck it up and starting doing it in front of my spectators and if I get caught....that will be part of my learning experience as well. Eric Jones told me the same thing when he was first starting to do...

Hey guys, I know and understand how to do a mercury card fold, but am not happy with the "sound" that is being made during the fold of the card nor am I comfortable with the timing / misdirection needed. Folding the card into quarters is NOT my problem as I've gone through about 3 decks...

I believe it is 1 token per item so you would earn 12 tokens for a brick of cards. At least that is what Lyle just told me.
