    Weird Gig

    Well, you can't "wing it" in a professional performance in the sense that you mean it. You need to work out a routine to perform. But only you can do that - use whatever you know. Mentalism can be visual, by the way. It's all in the performer.

    Practicing sleights on camera

    Yeah, absolutely a few other tips. Mix up where you put your camera (ie get different angles). Don't look at your camera, but look at where people would be. Don't put the live feed from your camera where you can see it - film it first, and then watch it later.

    Elite Prestidigitation's Introduction Thread

    I don't suppose they're real, are they? Incidentally, you should try a book on grammar.

    Background Music

    Hi Julian, The music is produced in-house, and thus, mostly, are not available. However, as Jacob has mentioned, the artist, Dana Hocking, has put out a CD of his music on Wayne's website.

    PSYPHER - robert smith

    Sure mate. I prefer JR's Butterfly using the Rhodia pads. I should clarify, I suppose, by saying that "better" is mostly a matter of personal preference. Different people have different experiences with how well the different gimmicks work. UI has personally done a good job with that. The...

    Voting open for 4 ace battle, opinions welcome!

    The Now: You have sound, so why don't you speak? You flashed the top ace whilst spreading the deck. Be careful when you're spreading with a break. You have a very flourishy way of grabbing the deck when you're palming. Work on your palming motion to make it look more natural. Because you're...

    Pass Battle

    Oh yes, it's one reason why I stopped participating battles. It's something you should be aware of if you do want to participate. I remember losing a sleight battle in which my video was clearly and distinctly the better performance of the sleight (as noted by my opponent) but lost for a reason...

    Just a thought...

    I currently perform my close up set with index cards, coin envelopes, and a pen.

    I have the original UI... I like it and use it, but I think there are better ones out there.

    Magic By Mail

    C3 wouldn't work by mail - at least, not in as is form. Can't say why, since the process is the method - but one part of the process would not at all be deceptive if the participant was asked to do it. Also, the dirty work is best hidden through strong presentation. I've fooled people who knew...

    credit card number Mentalism.

    I can think of a few methods to do this, but frustratingly enough, I can't remember where to find them! Although another thought just came to mind - if you think outside the box, you could make a two-phase effect out of this using principles from Banachek's Psychological Subtleties. Use the...

    Magic By Mail

    Hmm. You would need to offer proof that you posted the letter when you say you did (i.e. before the event you're predicting). Usually, they are with you and can even post the letter themselves. This is the problem...

    Magic By Mail

    That really made me laugh... I'd leave the beef out of beef farmer unless you were sure about her family's religious beliefs... Depending on how long letters take to get there, it may be feasible to perform Alvo Stockman's Postmentalism... Not much is coming to mind unfortunately...

    Card Control Help

    Three sleights that immediately come to mind are the Bluff Pass, Marlo Tilt, and Top Card Cover Pass. The Bluff Pass is probably my favourite of the three. I would recommend Joshua Jay's excellent video teaching his handlings on his website Vanishing Inc. Aaron Fisher also has a well...

    Starting Mentalism

    5 hollow sticks - four of them are filled with Fundamentals, and one with a Kevin Parker eBook pack? Alternatively, five horses - but only one of them is dead - and the other four are pinadas?
