What Derren Brown did was to major psychic associations and major people in that field, not to individual beliefs. Let me put it this way (and in no way is this meant to target or offend someone). You can tell a conspiracy theorist why his idea is wrong, you can back it up with evidence, but...

"People fear what they do not understand" - Bruce Lee

Basically, the KoH started with an axe next to him. Slowly, the axe duped and turned horizontal, leaving you with 2 in each hand. Then One of the Axes became a sword, without people noticing the other one. The sword got brought up to the head, nad the axe got erased. It was essentially due to...

First off, the pass comes with time. A ton of time. At least a year to get it down well (with real life performances) Second off, It is super subjective. Next, you don't need to have a perfect pass, as stated above. You need to simply be able to control your audience. The beauty of the pass is...

As stated above the statement presented was incredibly vague. It's your own brain that is saying that it was super specific because you have associated the statement with a very specific example.

The only problems I see with this: If your not performing for friends/family, you can't exactly go into a store with your "normal" spectator and go buy a deck with you. It'll make for a great trick if your hangin with friends at a mall (where cards are being sold), but besides that, I don't see...

Thanks! I'll look into all of those. I think I Might try just loading stuff on people though.

It's similar to red pill I guess, but it really isn't anything close as far as I can tell. I've been working on a similar effect mark, though I'm a certain mine is different from yours. Mine only uses 1 sealed deck and a freely named card. I have the idea for it down, but it's pretty hard to...

I thought he was messing with us. It was in a Murphy's Magic Live Stream. He said he wouldn't show it to us. I legitimately didn't know what to look for. He flashed it like 20 times before people said "what are you doing" and he said "I'm flashing it so you get an idea of what it looks like on...

Looks Great! All I would say is make the cuts a bit... softer. They seemed a bit over exaggerated, almost as if you were trying to prove it was 100% genuine.

I've seen people flash T2. I didn't realize they were doing it until they said it out loud. It really is super well hidden.

Thanks Guys!

Jacob's Idea of using a friend or another magician are spot on. The Royal Road has a trick where you spring the cards upwards with one hand, have another palmed in the other, and produce it from the spring. It looks like you grab it from the air, though the cards will always end up on the...

When Practicing, put rubber bands around the packets to keep them square. Then eventually take them off, and just keep practicing.

Thanks! But that's good advice for me right now. But I was talking more so down the line. I mean, if I were to quit my job 20 years from now to do magic and end up not being able to support me (and my hypothetically present future family), is it really worth it. That might differ from person to...

Wow! That was actually very clever. I was watching after the spades wondering where the cards were, because I saw your hand completely as opposed to having them palmed! It never occurred to me that you were ditching them as you dealt. Amazingly clean too! Could I make a suggestion though? If...

1st off, I never said there were an in-numerous number of effects only accomplishable with a stacked deck. I said that there were a lot of possibilities. This includes enhancing and perfecting a performance, making things look cleaner, immediately resting for specific effects, being able to do...

So I've been thinking... I have really been enjoying magic these last 2 and a half (or so) years, and I'm kind of thinking of possibly doing it as my profession. I have this year and the next left in High school. If I can start performing regularly and start getting a few gigs by the time...

Lol. I'm just keeping this in my head in case I do run across someone like that, or one of my friends visits some sort of shady place and comes back thinking he's Doctor Strange.

I don't do stage magic, but I do know that most of Mark Wilson's Complete Course was built for or can be used on the stage.
