    Beginners problem with culling

    Ya, i didn't really like how Kostya told you to open the cards in an arc. What you can do is to observe how he culls in the Culligula Triumph. He makes the spread straight and there's only a slight opening and closing. This gives you more time to spot the card because the cards move a bit...

    Conquer fear

    Yes, this is how i got started in performing as well. I was once in a cafeteria during midterm week. I had a study hall that period so i had no midterm, so i waited in the cafeteria. The midterms took 2 and a half hours so you can think that people would be bored. So i walked around, did a few...

    How do I get started performing for random people?

    I'm sorry but Tivo 2.0 is probably the worst trick to do on the streets. While it may be visual, it just doesn't appeal to laymen. When i did that trick to a couple of friends they simply went "So what?" I rarely ever do any of the tricks from the bucks. The only thing i do from them is...

    NEW MAGIC WEEK 1 : Every Wednesday

    I think he's saying that if you've got an idea for an effect, they can help you with the method. Like if you have an idea for a new concept, but have no idea how to make it work, they'll help you. At least that's what i think they're saying.

    How long can you go on?

    I usually do one of 3 routines i have structured. They each contain an opener, 3 middle effects, a closer, and an encore effect. If i start performing the first middle trick, and i see i'm running out of time for whatever reason, i will finish with the closer after. If i have time, i'll...

    Greek Deal

    Enough with the deals! God, we got the second, the bottom, and the center! Isn't that enough? What i really wanna see is some shuffle stacking or riffle culling.

    TA son of stunner

    This doesn't really answer your question, but it does apply to the trick. I loved this routine, i think it had everything a card magician could want. But the only thing i didn't like was Bro's presentation. The whole trick was based on a deck switch. And i believe this pretty much explain the...

    Thoughts on sleight of hand vs. gimmicks

    Well it has to do with one thing: inside the box thinking. First off, many people are not creative enough to think of trick cards. They will usually refer to the fact that you're hands are doing all the work, so therefore you're doing something secret with your hands. Of course cards cant...

    The best TnR?

    REHAB by Cameron Francis. It's made for real world performances. It doesn't look as visual as other tnr, but it's mush more angle friendly and much more practical.

    April 2009 :: Proudly Presenting

    Here's my input on this. I think the reason why people aren't getting the reactions they want is because their trick doesn't have any meaning. Most of the tricks are just "Hey, look what i can do!" There was a phrase used by Darwin Ortiz that summarizes what i'm saying. I goes "So you can do...

    I Hate Hecklers!

    You need better audience management. Should a spectator try to explain a trick the best thing to do is ignore them. The main reason they do is because they're attention hogs and they want people to know that they were the one smart enough to figure your tricks out. Now what i usually do, if...

    Ninja Rings

    I'm planning to buy a set of Ninja Rings to add to my close-up routine. But i just wanna ask some questions. 1. Are they worth the price? 2. Are the moves hard? 3. Is it a good routine to use? Thanks!
