Some magic shops sell something called Roughing Fluid. It's what they used to make Invisible Decks. You can buy some of that and make your own.

It doesn't need to be in an order. It's just the back to back cards have to be in the right system (subtract from 13, heart to spades, clubs to daimonds). The actual order of the pairs don't matter. Heck, i even shuffle the deck during a routine where i do a repeated invisible deck effect.

Aww, i was hoping you would vanish a 3" coin at the end.

I really reccomend David Roth. His explanations are just so clear and he gives tons of tips and subtleties. I was able to do a decent classic vanish in about an hour after watching his explanations.

This is also what i love about youtube: I once did a retention vanish to my friend. Him being egotistic and all, decided to search a tutorial on youtube. I did not tell him it was called a retention vanish. He searched "Cool coin vanish" and "How to vanish a coin" but none of the videos taught...

Wow that sucks man. What i would do in this case is if i'm ask to perform for a group of people and the heckling friend is within that group, i would simply say "Well i'd love to show you some magic, but ____ here will probably ruin it, and that's no fun is it? Maybe another time" and then walk...

I never tell them the name of my tricks, or at least, not the real name. For example, I do a presentation of the Homing Card that involves a story of a guy who's afraid of the Ace of Spades. Therfore, i introduce the trick as The Ace of Spades Trick. Anyways, if they can't find were to learn...

What i noticed is that the Flipover Vanish was surprisingly similar to the first move in David Roth's click pass. Did Homer get permission to teach that?

My definition of magic: Any supernatural or science-defying occurrence that creates a sense of mystery, amazement and disbelief used to entertain an audience.

He's not a real magician. He's just a kid who knows magic tricks. He was probably just here to learn secrets and show off to his friends. He doesn't know there's a whole other realm of magic, where you can actually fool people and amaze them. Don't worry about it, he'll get bored eventually and...

I wanna start learning some spellbound routines. I don't wanna do copper to silver cuz i think that's awfully dull. So i decided to do silver to chinese coins. Plus, i'm chinese myself so it fits my persona. I wanna purchase some chinese coins in variety of colors (black, red and blue). I...

It's called a Goshman Pinch. Similar to the Tenkai Pinch how ever you use a back palm approach for getting the coin in there. I suggest you check out Jay Sankey's Revolutionary Coin Magic, where he teaches several tricks and changes using the Goshman pinch.

Omg i love the vanishing bandana! Anyways, you can do some rope magic but most rope routine will only take up about 5 minutes. You can drag it out longer but at that point the audience will be bored.

Yeah, i think metamorphosis is a good trick to do on stage. You can also get an appearing cane. I always use an appearing cane with my metamorphosis act, i walk on stage, produce a cane, and then move on to the trick. It just gives them a little appetizer and keeps their interest from dying,

Well that makes it even easier. Just do a Mercury Card Fold, fingerpalm it and do any of the Card to Wallets already suggested. And since the object is smaller, you can hide it much easily and you can even use the Ramsey Subtlety.

Ya i didn't want another anonymous thing but i'm just saying Theory11 usually hypes everything up. It's not like them to just introduce a new person like this.

While we're on the topic of artists, i wanna ask: Why didn't you hype up Homer's arrival like you did with Daniel Garcia? You guys just like introduced him all of a sudden. I was expecting another Anonymous kind of thing for Homer.

Another option is an American Gold Dollar. The ones with different presidents on the backs. They are bigger than quarters and smaller than half dollars. It worked perfectly for me when i was first starting out. They are probably more available than half dollars too.

I once stubbed my toe and i couldn't do magic for weeks.

You should probably think about restructuring that trick or just dropping it. It's really hard to make a color change work for a group of 50 people. If the effect isn't the best effect you have, then it's not worth risking putting it in just so half the people can't see it.
