As long it is original yes!

Scam school is a great place to learn some fun material. I have an effect featured on scam school that I released myself :) haha but the true value is in coming up with your own ways to perform the effect. Unfortunately Brian does not gp into a ton of performance detail as he is catering to...

Sounds like you could work on your presentation. Think of it this way, if you are simply narrating what you are doing (ok I’m going to take two cards and put them into your hand, then watch closely as I wave my hand over them. Notice how they change places?) you see how it is sort of redundant...

Great insight above! Yeah it depends on how you approach people. I usually go for the “stand aside and do cool moves and see if they are interested then ask” approach.

Great question. I personally love mentalism, but I think the reason magicians do not appreciate mentalism (from what i have heard) is that there is no "sleight of hand" or "skill" involved. Obviously there is skill involved, but a different type of skillset is used. Personally a good mentalist...

Thank you so much! For anyone curious to see the original here is "Blindsided" by Oz Pearlman

Thank you so much for having me! And congrats to Andrew and David as well! If you guys ever need anything don’t be shy to hit us up!

Do you know Ron Connely. He frequents our magic meetup group.

A small piece of paper the size of a penny is more than enough to produce a hot flash and produce a coin. Imagine if you had sheets of it? You are looking at perminent damage.

"Blindsided 2" is my homage to "Blindsided" by Oz Pearlman. Imagine showing the audience a blank faced deck of cards. After a fun, playful gag "ACR" type routine, you reveal that the deck actually prints itself in the spectator's hands. Everything can be examined at the end and you are ready...

Too big like too long or too big like too loose?

I forget the name of the effect and who it is by, but basically you place the entire deck in your pocket and they reach in and take out the chosen card. Free choice (they can grab any card) and it works 100% of the time. You will need to force the card but it is super fair. It fooled me then i...

I use it for this little effect i have come up with. It is a permanent addition to my close-up show now. The Bit i am referring to happens starting at 9:00 in the following video. You are welcome to watch it in it's entirety for context ;)

I feel you. I have a terrible time learning from books. This is why i made sure to break everything down a best as possible with clear illustrations when writing my books. Not everyone can learn from books, myself being one of them lol

Jeff McBride has an explanation on this that goes as such. 1 trickster: Someone who learns tricks to show their friends and just likes magic and trying to do the impossible. 2 Sorcerer: Someone who takes the next step and actually starts to truly learn about their art and how to build...

If you can come up with a way to animate it it would be cool! make it super visual. The one major issue is that people are aware of video edits so that may be a challenge.

Download this FOR FREE here: https://www.theory11.com/marketplace/michael-obrien/sonic-mindreading "Sonic Mindreading" is a fun mentalism type effect using a fun one handed force to divine a card. Giving this one away for free so strap in, grab yourself a deck of cards and a sonic screwdriver...

It is regarded as one of the best books in magic. It has a little of everything! I love it a lot. Had it when i was a little kid.

If you want to keep it private perhaps send it as a direct message that way it isn’t displayed to the public. It will be just to have a better understanding of what you are trying to do so even if it is sloppy it doesn’t matter too much. If anyone here is interested to see it maybe send them a...

Can you post a video of what you have so far? I’ll see if I can come up with something for you.
