I'm not sure what you mean exactly by shell. Do you mean like the picture below, but for shot glass? What is the purpose? And how elasticy does it need to be?

I absolutely agree that magic is theatre. The fourth wall aspect represents only a portion of theatre- not a defining aspect of what theatre is. However, with regards to the semantics, the term ‘performance art’ is probably a more understood term for those not in the theatre world. That said...

Well articulated Teedee. I'm working on a challenge to fool a friend of mine (his challenge to me). He has an open of what to watch for. Basically the routine involves a bunch of rabbit trails: a pass to make him think the card is on top, false palming a card to my pocket, and a double lift...

Unfortunately a month is not enough time for you to learn much. I would second the rope magic idea. Let us know how it goes - good or bad

I've been playing a lot with Frixion pens and flash paper. Lots of potential there.

We can't expose the method, but someone may be able to point you to a resource. I know Jay Sankey had an effect like this on one of his beginner dvds

Great advice here. I think it was Eric Mead who joked if you want a trick to fool Magicians, perform an effect from a book. lol

Sounds like some sort of confabulation idea. As well it could very well be a principle taught in Corinda's 13 Steps

Super good! Wow

Looks very close to something Jim Pace does. I learned it in his lecture years ago.

Absolutely worth the money. Though I don't use it often for a while I had it in a clear box on stage during my show ready as a backup (I had someone lie (forget?) What their card was, so I used the ID as a backup if they named a different card.

Great stuff everyone!

Ha I haven't seen that move done in ages!

I've found any clip to be effective to be honest. I'm up in Canada and it's colder here (just had a big dump of snow on Wednesday). So cards warp easy because the body heat is warm and the outer part of the pocket is colder. Though your climate will affect differently than here

Just tried that with my wife and she was surprised and said she didn't feel forced lol

One way you could word it is "We need to narrow these down. Choose a card to keep" then if needed "now choose a second one to keep. You say great,give them a chance to change their mind and continue appropriately. Then say that you will narrow things down further - have them slide one card...

Bill Abbott has a method that would work available in his Smart Ass routine that could work very well. Personally I would do a cull like others mentioned.

Ugh. I just wanted to say how much I hate watching myself perform. I'm just looking back at my most recent stage performance (haven't even started writing notes yet!) and there's so much to work on! I see so many little things that I dislike. It's discouraging, frustrating, and embarrassing...

Very fun!
