Whilst predictions are among the strongest mentalism it is some of the hardest to present. The strongest effects in mentalism is when you deal with personal things to them. Names numbers are useless and meaningless. However name their first crush and what they looked like and the effect would be...

Why should the audience care you are moving a bottle with your hands practically touching the bottle. And before you mention Geller or Hydrick they were demonstrating that psychic phenomena exists.

Kevin The point I was making is that there is no point to the effect. Magic in my eyes is to achieve something that is impossible but at the same time to an extent useful. Moving a bottle of Powerade is hardly a useful effect especially when your hards are mere millimetres from the object you...

I believe it is a two way street of course the big names like Houchin and Garcia will always sell due to their name. However they got their name by releasing very good quality products. Look at Jerome Finley and his ebooks that go for 300 - 500 dollars each. I believe that only 5 or so people...

Your parents want what is best for you, it is a very hard road to make a decent living with magic and all they are doing is wanting you to have a better life. I would talk to them as an adult to discuss options and times where you could do magic and times when you will study.

Mine was also meant to come across with a sarcastic feel,i thought you knew me well enough to know that when I make a statement like that there is always an argument to back it up. The primary reasoning for the use of the wallet is to isolate the billet, we will both agree on that. If the...

That's because you are wrong.

Amazing video, I do see this as an art for one reason and one reason alone. He is connecting to his audience initially it is a demonstration of skill however he lets the audience in to his world. They get to experience his thought process as to creating these demonstrations. Michael even...

In my opinion the true value of the art is the connection between the artist and the audience, skill is only a secondary aspect. Interesting that you bring up skateboarding as an art, this is exactly the same way I see cardistry as an art, only those in the know can really connect with it. To...

But the reason Eminem is respected as an artist is his ability to either connect with people and/or make them feel the motivation behind his art. I personally cannot see how any cardistry performance can successfully achieve that. I would love to see this video, however I don't think that...

I have skimmed through the posts and there was a few things that I wanted to address. The underlying argument is cardistry an art from and more importantly is it a valid form of expression. In the simplest definition yes cardistry is an art form as it displays the creativity of the to an...

Personally I would not buy it, however I am not that big on custom cards. I would like to see more cards though like the court cards and a few random number cards.

WOW dude was so calm about it.

It would only use this effect as an opener or a closer the whole story of the effect, makes it really hard to sell as a middle routine in the context of a whole show.

To elaborate on the points Prae mentioned. It is a boring effect, seriously what is the point of demonstrating this. Your hands go next to the bottle, if you are going to go that close why not just move it with your hands. Daniel Madison has a video similar on his youtube awhile ago he also...

The second deck is justified though. There is one problem though if you have the effect you will understand.

*Gets up on his soap box* I personally hate this effect for many many reasons, and surprisingly none of them have anything to inherent danger of the effect to either the performer or the spectator. The first thing is most performers use it as a a closer and mathematically it is not that...

They both have their place, and Prae peek wallets work if used correctly. I agree that each mentalist swears by their current one and I know that you love your Butterfly. Personally if you are going to go with the two part set up (like universal impression) the Para Pad is the way to go and...

I am not too sure to begin, firstly as others have mentioned your breaks are defiantly a flaw. I know that in the real world that would not be as much of a problem but you do it in the frame of vision. Think about this revealing the card is the climax of the effect and you are getting the...
