Sorry for this but the edit time ran out lol (Continued) If you absolutely positively can't think of one you like, I know penguin sell a few ways, And there are a couple good ones on Youtube, such as the scam school one (see above). You can also check out Blood Marking System by Daniel Madison...

You can mark it however you want. Just be creative :) if it is personal to you, no one can be the wiser. I have used the bird trick with the circles on the vine things. First, I use the classic method of the triangles in the corner to mark them, but I do it on the left corner. Then Each do t on...

When the trailer or something says "Next Level" It's almost always marketing. That level could be simply the small step of knowing the trick. It's not a lie, but you think it'll propel you so far. And YES, anything can be developed into something amazing and truly "Next Level". You will...

Not really. You can very easily move the audiences attention else wgere. It only takes a second to do the pass. You could do it as you gesture for someone to stand up, come to the performance area and do something.

Lol, you could probably use Skype or even back and forth videos with someone.

I don't think so. You could set limits of what you can and cannot do. Plus the higher level can go easy on the other guy.

I have to say Ed Marlo. I've seen videos of him performing and they are amazing. And the stuff he has written down... wow. Reading through Revolutionary Card Technique actually changed the way I look at sleights.

Ha, fair enough. In my defense, the question was super broad.

So I just thought of this, wondering if anyone has tried anything like it before. Essentially, it's you vs your friends in a game of HORSE (or SKATE, or anything with that sort of game format), but you are doing things with cards. It's a minimum of 2 people (which is normally what the games...

A camera allows you to just focus on what your doing and watch it back in a much more controlled situation. You'll get more out of recording it. And you don't have to practice everytime before you perform.

Mentalism

Take a couple steps back, So they have to actively move to do it. And place it on the ground, just to give more distance.

I love the Nail Gun trick by P&T Your Breaking point is the crazy finger on me right? That might be my favorite horrifying trick. I also want to throw in a lot of Geek Magic tricks. Along side them, the tricks that actually happen for real, such as the Human Blockhead, Nails into the eye, the...

Yeah, doing the pass as you shift the frame covers it up quite nicely

Sorry, I was super tired when I wrote that. I knew Braue was America, and I for whatever reason just thought Hugard was French (might be the colors of the Royal Road, and the last name kinda sounds French). My bad!

Just picked up a deck today! Also, Walgreens might become my new place to go buy cards. There are always good deals on them (today they had a BOGO Free on a ton of decks!), and there are some rare decks that are sold.

Well, I use it A LOT. Imo: It is totally worth it. The Misdirection involved is super easy to do, there are so many subtitles you can add to it, and if you work around some stuff, you can get rid of almost all angle issues. I like it better than Marlo's Tilt because to me, Marlo's Tilt is never...

You might want to try your hand at the Sybil Cut or the Butterfly Cut. Maybe eve the Molecule cut Best thing to do for browsing some is look at trailers on artofplay.com or trailers for DVD's, such as Dimitri's Monument from here on TXI.

I agree. The opportunity for them to burn your hands while you do the pass should not exist. If they are being a hard customer, you don't need to perform, or you simply use a different control. And if they aren't , you use misdirection and redirection to do the pass.

Fair enough. I personally really enjoy watching self workers. I prefer getting really into the performance and the story as opposed to watching the actual effect. But that's just my opinion :)
