The rich don't need to say so.

Jamie, once again some wonderful advice from a working pro - thank you!

Sure, unfortunately it does happen, but it's not a bad experience imo. I recall doing a displacement technique using an entirely wrong grip - I learned it in Biddle instead of Dealer's for a reason I cannot in retrospect fathom...

David, I'll let you know when I talk to you next, but I did get around to watching that vid and it looks darn good. :)

Yep - from what I've heard, I would agree that I would rate that the highest part of the product. Thanks mate!

Be careful - magic is not a puzzle, and puzzles are not magic. Although many magicians are indeed inherently attracted to puzzles, make sure you know the difference. Magic has no solution. Puzzles do. If your magic has a solution, even if they do not know the solution, then it ceases to become...

Believe me, I know - I'm a mentalist myself. And if by subtitles you meant subtleties (lol), then sure. The reason I asked was that many such subtleties are verbally based, and as I'm sure you know, congruence is everything in mentalism. Although, congruence doesn't necessarily equate to...

Yes, I thought that was poor performing. Although I liked the set overall, I don't think much of his performance from that sample. Ricky Jay, on the other hand, is hilarious and meticulous about crediting mid performance. It suits him, it's absolute genius, and easily one of the most...

As I've been saying for God knows how long - sleights mean nothing to a spectator, unless the spectator is a magician or you get caught. What makes magic strong is you. You personality, your presentation. The strongest reactions are emotional actions. Anyone can make someone scream. Dump a...

Nice to see a post from you, Steer. Very good recommendation, with a very good focus. Thanks for that.

Check out Jamie D. Grant's recent post on this issue. If you want a serious answer to your question, that's one of the best ones I've seen, particularly for the beginner.

Hi Catalin, Welcome to the forums! First off, that's a great name. Also, one of my dear friends is from Romania. Hope you enjoy it here!

a) Not all crimps damage cards - not all crimps are permanent. b) I wanted to wait for your response before saying anything, but now that you have - crimps are quite simply the best way to do what you're asking. Have you tried using crimps? I urge you to learn a good one and give it a go. It's...

Slow down. Practice. I just watched 31 seconds of fumbling, confusion and no idea what else (but it definitely wasn't magic). Oh, and we don't look kindly upon exposure here.

Yep, far too long for 15 tables and only an hour of performance. Let's say you theoretically performed for all tables. That's 4 minutes per table. You can fit maybe two effects into that. Let's say you theoretically only performed for half the tables (not sure this is a great idea). That's...

Very well put - especially the sentence about preference vs. ignorance.

Haha. Sorry, buddy. My friends have noted that I am rather bad with jokes online. :P

Dude. No-one reads the tags :P

Ok, a few things. a) I agree, it's not short at all, it's too long. From what I understand, you're performing walkaround, yes? How many people will be there, how many tables? What I would recommend you do is take your tricks and turn them into TWO routines of three to four effects each...

Easily, lol. But if you want to find out for your area, try registering and putting a brick or something in your cart. It should let you view shipping costs before you confirm payment.
