    Heckler's but they know you

    Family and friends are the worst hecklers because they are comfortable with you. The only way to seriously squash it is to be like "look dude. we both know this ish is fake. Just let me show people who want to be amazed and let them enjoy it. Please stop ruining it because you are making me look...

    daniel fernandez's mentalism effect

    The first effect can be found in just about any magic shop. Special pack of cards. I believe :mind power deck" is one of the names it goes by. Cannot tip the method here for obvious reasons, but it is fairly easy to perform once you understand how it works. Darren browns method is a bit better...

    Weird names you've been called?

    I was working at the magic shop at disneyland demonstrating the chinese linking rings. This girl was watching and liked it a lot so she went to go get her grandmother (hispanic) and asked her to watch. I linked the two rings together and she started cursing in spanish, grabbed some holy water...

    COIN MAGIC?

    Saw DMC perform this in person at the castle. He is sooooooo smooth! This particular coins across effect is his handling of "imagination Coins" by Garrett Thomas. You may need a little extra something something to make this particular effect work as well. ;)

    Best wrong explanation you've heard?

    When working at the magic shop my friend Jesse and I got tired of hearing people guess that the "UFO" floating card trick was done with magnets. So we took blank cards and drew a super cartoony looking magnet on its face. Anytime someone would say "Where's the magnet?" we would just turn over...

    Loaded Deck

    There are 2 ways to do this: 1. False Shuffle the cards 2. Deck Switch. The first one is pretty obvious. Learn some shuffles and cuts that will not move the cards you need from their locations. This could mean you either need a full stock retention (none of the cards change position) like the...

    An other way to use magic

    Back when i was younger and bolder lol (and not married with a daughter lol) I used to do 2 card monte but the switched out cards would say "Call me" and have my number on them. Out of the maybe 30 or so people i did it for only 2 actually called me lol Wasn't as smooth as i thought.

    Intermediate Card Magic

    I see 5 categories believe it or not. They are very grey but each have distinct characteristics. -Novice: Never held a deck of cards before, and if they are learning magic 99.9% of the time they are performing 100% self working tricks like 21CT, 4 ace trick, etc. -Beginner: The beginner is...

    First time doing table to table magic

    Great advice Rick! Let me see if I can answer each point with my approach to table hopping: 1. You should not spend more than 5 or so minutes at each table. Maybe 2 like 2 quick effects then move on. This also depends on how long you are there. 20-30 tables in 2 hours will be 5 mins each max...

    Vanishing then appearing cane

    If I am not mistaken you cannot both banish and produce the same cane using the same mechanic. However you can get two games that look alike then switch them out at some point?

    Hypocrisy?

    I think as long as you do you due diligence then they have nothing to get you for. Major companies are allowed to pick and chose what goes on their site as it is their property, but at least no one could say you stole anything or get yourself in drama.
