Hey tan, Welcome to the forums! The interesting thing about performing for audiences is that they don't know a whole ton about magic outside of cards and stage illusions. So you'll be absolutely fine doing card magic because even though they attribute the cards to tricks and sleights...

You want a straw? Seriously though, learn to take criticism. We're not here to stroke your ego, neither are your spectators. We're telling you what you need to do to get better, first is to not buy everything all at once. If you are going in the wrong direction we will not support you, we...

You might be able to find Wayne's DVD somewhere. However it's unlikely, it's a near perfect TnR routine for the working magician. I won't give my copy up. About that needle swallowing bit - just a beautiful piece of magic. And technically it is published...

Actually the pen was "stolen" and then after the footage was released they said that he was free to take it. That it was totally fine and for him to consider it a gift.

Have a blast man! Way to go after it too, that's how you get things done. That attitude will get you far. What's in your rep if you don't mind me asking, I'd love to share some of my working rep with you to help you out if I can bro. CONGRATS!

Come on Anna everyone knows you did the upside down riffle shuffle (Hugh Scott shuffle) just to be look awesome next to Helder.

That's not what the first sentence suggests, that's also not the first time I've heard you say that. Sticking point for you? It was a post to flip the conversation around, too much bullying from you so I poked back. I know you know what you're talking about, I was just messing around. Nice...

Zombie ball? Seriously though, maybe put a magical spin on a roulette routine?

I can't help but thinking that if steerpike is as good as he thinks he is, or would like people to think he is. He would be far too busy to surf these forums in the first place. Food for thought. It's been said already but run over with the barking. You should start with the basics, as...

I agree with sabor here, sandwich routines get tricky. Magicians really like sandwich routines but they're no good for spectators. Simple is better. And if you're going to have a couple phases, make sure it's logically progressive, otherwise there's no point.

The blue split spades come in Mnemonica stack

I'll give this a swing. A skeptic is a person who normally sits back with their arms crossed, doesn't show a whole ton of reaction. They know how the trick MUST be done, so it seems as though within their head they are trying to get one step ahead of you so they can spot the method. Most of...

sydney, probably shouldn't put your address in your location. Welcome to the internet.

I don't have an image of mine at the moment, but I'd be happy to brainstorm with you. What do you have in mind for yours? The real question being, do you need one?

valid point but you get used to Steerpike after a while. Sometimes he means well Anyway, great advice in this thread. In a professional setting it depends on your character, as well as your age. Adults will heckle other adults but it's hard to find an Adult who will heckle a kid who looks...

I agree that you can't make blanket assumptions, but you could suck really bad at magic. Just because you're here and learned magic off YouTube doesn't mean you learned anything decent and that you don't suck. You may not know your magic history either, or the proper move names etc.

I'm really eager to get the extra cash to purchase this effect, it's a great in-between effect trick. Just to walk over right after a trick and pick up a water bottle, open it and it plays music? Awesome.

He did. I saw. If they're looking from below they might see the method. In the trailer Patrick just likes to get really low for some reason.

You don't have much time at tables, so build routines that are about 5 mins in length. I have a couple card sets, one is 3 tricks the other is 1 long ACR style routine with a twist. I have a coin routine, a rubber band routine and I have a good number of effects on the back burner ready to be...
