Yup. I have been trying lately to avoid statements like this in general. They can see the card go into the middle. No reason to tell them haha

The beauty of running a kickstarter campaign is if the deck doesn’t Get funded then you just return the money to your backers and then you are not put anything (except maybe your time and the obey you put into prototype decks.) this is better than purchasing a bunch of decks with your own money...

Mirage et trois 2 by Eric jones is amazing and uses borrowed quarters. No table necessary. A bit on the advanced side but nothing crazy.

There are two ways to do this. 1 you drop hints throughout your act that you are working for tips and hope they get the hint and tip you. 2 you let them know at the end thatbyounare just working for tips and anything they can spare would be appreciated. I would avoid passing out a hat in a...

Spider vanish then produce the coin from you knee. It is the most natural I think. Let me attach a video of David stone performing it here: Move happens at 1:45

Very good question. There is that weird age where they do not like stuff that little kids like but may not grasp concepts of the Magic is geared towards adults. I would say you could do adult oriented magic but find ways to connect with them. The Pokémon trick for example is aimed at that age...

Unfortunately using the forums to advertise or market yourself (including selling content or products) violates the policy. You CAN however try some of the following groups: -SME Surplus Exchange Facebook Group -Magic Cafe "buy trade sell" section (available to users who post 50 or more times)

I personally love the PET (Pocket Envelope Thing) by Richard Pinner. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/2728 In fact he is so confident that you will use it he gives the method away for free in the trailer.

I think it is standard to go through USPCC for most decks. Buying 1 or 2 decks will be quite expensive, but once you have gotten the deck printed and ironed out the design kinks, that is when you start marketing the deck and start a crowdfunding campaign. Once the deck is funded you can purchase...

The way I look at it is that i am playing the part of someone with magical powers. I am putting on a show. If they really think you are lying then ask them if they feel all actors are liars because they are all playing the part of someone else. I don't get upset at Tony Stark for telling me he...

Not sure if this will answer your pinky break question, but it is worth looking at to help cover your pass in general. As for the pinky break issue. I just set the top packet on top of the pinky break right off the bat. If you use similar motivation to the video i posted above, you should...

Where in southern california do you live? I may no of a place or two ;) You are welcome to PM me if you want as well!

The thing about creating and selling magic is that the fundamentals have to be there. In order to be able to teach an effect or idea you yourself need to understand the principles and have experience necessary to execute the effect. The best example is if I was learning guitar. I should not...

Have you seen the "knockoffs" argument in the SME facebook group?

Great perspective. The definition I was aware of is: To use imagery or language to convince someone to click on your article or video. Clickbait inherently isnt bad unless it lies or misrepresents the content on the article or video. For example, here is something I would say is ethical: "World...
