    Predicting the Melbourne Cup

    Ben, firstly commiserations on the prediction, although it should be noted that you were brave (and correct) in putting so you think, by far the favourite, as third. It was truly a wonderful race by Americain. Ignoring jden's 'me too-isms' and self-referential posts, I think you've done a...

    I want to quit!

    towtox, misdirection is the word you're looking for. To Slicke - With all due respect, I believe that ignoring all negative comments is irresponsible advice. We go to other people for advice in the hope that they see what we can't. We do this because we are rarely good at criticising ourselves...

    Messing up

    a) -100 respect points for making a typo on one of the most well known tricks in card magic. b) Yeah... That just means you haven't practiced enough. Stay home. Practice more. It's one thing to make a mistake and learn to recover. It's another to rush out unprepared crap because you can't be...

    Royal Road Effect

    I've only watched the first minute or so of towtox's video (sorry, I'm procrastinating right now, I should be studying, exams in two weeks), but some basic comments... Towtox, you don't seem to feel comfortable with a deck of cards in your hand, and you certainly don't look comfortable. You...

    Wow I Can't Believe This

    Man, I just read this last page, lol'd quite hard, and felt compelled to read the rest of the thread for laughs. a) I feel for a lot of parents right about now. Not only do you have to spend a lot on your kids, you evidently don't have a lot to show for it... b) sabor's response was rather...

    Searching advice

    Take extra precautions with your show whenever possible. Slow down. Breathe. Meditate. Have fun. There's no cure for nerves. I've been on stage for about as long as I can remember. The nerves get better, but some nerves are good, it keeps you on your toes. In the meantime, the above few things...

    I'm having second thoughts

    Maybe, but show me a video of you performing and I guarantee I could tell you three things you could improve on to make your performance. There's more to magic than a trick, and there's more to a performance than the secret. I think you implicitly know this, because you nonetheless acknowledged...

    I'm having second thoughts

    The fact that you've had it for a day might have something to do with it... Do you often rush out to perform your newest trick a day after buying it (which, in turn, was hours after having it recommended)?

    Whatcha Got?

    Half a dozen index cards, half a dozen coin envelopes and a pen is my standard thing. Inside jacket pocket. Keeps me busy for about an hour. Depends what I feel like, though. I don't tend to carry much, which means that I have space for additional props if I need to, without cluttering my...
