    Talent Show

    Unless, he has 1 year before the talent show, that's possibly the worst thing to get. Simply cuz it requires practice. He's looking for something he can do very easily. Which is why i suggested the invisible deck.

    Masters of Illusion

    Oh, that was Rick Thomas. I personally did not like his performance. He treated that lady really badly. He could have at least done that to the man, not the lady. But that's beside the point. Anyways, you can find it here And speaking of masters of illusion, did anyone see the vanishing...

    When the spectator makes an honest mistake...

    Ok, i don't know if people have suggested this, but i'll give you some advice. 1. Use this line, it's the one i use all the time "Pick any card you want. That's one? Ok. Take a look at that card, and memorize it. Be sure to remember it or this trick will not work." That last line is key...

    Talent Show

    Get an Invisible deck. It's less than $20 and it's quite easy to do. You can do a version where you pick a person, have them name a color, have another person name a suit, have another person name a number, and then show that's the only face down card in the deck. You can even have a person...

    Need help with structure

    Thanks for the advice Steerpike, I guess i will practice my sleeving a bit more. What i think many of you don't understand is that the box can't be on the table as i load it. How it works is that there's a small plastic chute clipped to my back pocket. The small bag covers the end of the...

    Need help with structure

    Trust me it doesn't. The opening of the boxes is not dead time. It creates suspense. Everyone is waiting to see what's in the box, when they see another box, the suspense grows. It's much like how Harry Houdini built up suspense in his shows. His escapes would usually last 30 minutes to and...

    Need help with structure

    See the problem is, i have to do the FT before i take out the box, cuz i have to load it into the box as i take it out. What i was talking about is that is something i learned from Jay Sankey i think, where you go to your pocket in search of something. You have coin in your left hand, you toss...

    David Roth's Expert Coin Magic DVD's

    I agree with cointwo cuz it's relatively easy but coinone is pretty hard. The flashback production alone will take a few weeks to master. Plus, both routines need a gimmick that you probably aren't gonna have unless you're really into coin magic.

    Need help with structure

    Ok, so after reading Strong Magic, i have decided to reconsider the structure of all my effects. One of my favorite effects is a close-up nest of boxes routine (A coin is signed and vanished. The magician pulls out a box from his pocket sealed with a rubber band, inside is another box also with...

    Where can I get those half dollars

    No, in the Unicoin 1-on-1, he says they're coins from the Candy Mountain in some part of norther Europe. I don't quite remember what he said but if you get the video you'll see it.

    Which would be more memorable?

    In fact, you could do a Matrix routine with those coins. Make a diamond shape with the coins instead of a square. You can say like "Each of these coins represents men from different parts of the world. The half dollar is from the west (place it on the right side of the mat, it will be the left...

    Be myself?

    You don't need to be yourself you just need a character. Now your character can match your personality, but not necessarily. For example, Kyle Eschin's character is a lonely, no life, momma's boy. No i'm sure that he's not like that in real life. But it's his persona on stage and it works for...

    On second thought, i just wanna see something new that's not done before. Whether it be a new concept or an old and underused concept. Cuz i mean come on, we've had lots of classic moves taught already. I wanna see something new.

    Invisible deck - gimmicking yourself

    You can use Aldini's Roughing Spray. I recommend that. I really can't see how a cream would help you make an invisible deck. Wouldn't it just get the cards all soggy? Also, you can try Acrylic Clear Satin Finish sold at art store. At any rate, once you get the spray you want, get a...
