    Video Editing

    If you want a wide range of control FOR FREE I suggest "Hitfilm 4 Express" It is amazing and there is a ton of stuff you can do with it. Having said that, to submit a video to the marketplace, you will just need something super basic like iMovie. As long as you can create transitions and add...

    Cardistry or magic

    The key thing to remember is that there is no magic in confusion. If you want to do both, it is totally fine, just know that when you are trying to create a magic moment you need to slow down and let the magic happen. Otherwise you will be written off as "just good with our hands" but not "magic."

    Negative Feedback From People

    Take feedback as constructive and ask them "why is sucked" If their response is "because it wasn't good," then perhaps you need to work on the story or presentation. If they say something like "i saw the two cards when you said you only had one" then you know you need to work on the technique...

    Illegal to perform?

    If you are just showing random people tricks it should not be an issue. The problem in these places is usually when you draw a large crowd or try to profit off of it asking for tips and stuff.

    Illegal to perform?

    Unless they complain you should be fine. For example if you did get a ticket for doing magic, it would not be for "doing magic." it would be for disturbing the peace, trespassing, soliciting for tips, etc.

    The Svengali Deck?

    I think David pretty much covered your best bet above, but here are some general plot ideas I used to use to demo the S deck at the magic shop back in the day! -Ambitious card: Card rises to the top under impossible conditions -card to pocket/ impossible location: card vanishes from the deck...

    Illegal to perform?

    The performing itself is not usually illegal, it is the baggage that comes with it (trespassing, soliciting for tips, filming, using speakers or amplifiers, drawing a large crowd, etc.) If you are referring to busking, it would be best to find out if it is allowed in your town. Usually you have...

    Team Building

    Does magic have to be involved or are you asking generally? I have used magic in team building excersizes for restaurant staff, but the main focus was customer service based (how to approach people, make eye contact, listen, positive body language, etc.)

    Signed Card To Sealed Deck- Shawn Farquhar

    Also, shawn has decided not to release this particular version of the effect to maintain the secrecy of it (not to keep magicians from learning it, but rather to keep magicians from performing it poorly and exposing it.) Only a handful of people know the effect. Shawn has released a similar...
