Randy, the point he's trying to make is that magicians shouldn't limit themselves to only cards. They should be able to do magic with anything in the room. Cards tricks are good, and they are useful, but it's not good to only do cards. What do you do when someone says "Hey, can you do anything...

What's the Joshua Jay book? Is it Magic: The Complete Course? Cuz that has some good routines put into it. Anyways, back on topic. Normally i don't do routines if i'm doing stuff at school or what, i just do single tricks. But if it's a more formal setting, i have 3 close-up routines set-up...

Yea, i realized this problem early on so i expanded to other things. Now i can do a lot of common close-up stuff like coins, spongeballs, metal bending, etc. As well as some stage routine like Fiber Optics, Linking Rings, etc. When i do card tricks i don't like to do card magic, i like to do...

I would have to disagree with that. In my opinion, the key to having a good trick is that no explanation is provided. Even if the explanation is an impossible one. When you give an explanation, the audience have something to fall back on when they try to looks for a method. For example: I...

Guys, keep in mind that some of those left handed artist may still be right-handed. John Carney is right handed but he still hold the deck in his right hand. On his palming DVD he says that since the "mechanics grip" hand has to do most of the work in most sleights so he wants his dominant hand...

I was just about to point out that Sinful was in on it too, but he did it himself. Dammit dont scare me like that Doug, i don't know who to trust now.:(

Card College is considerably more expensive, but it is better than Royal Road. If you have the money, then you should get Card College Vol 1

Very nice points there. Unfortunately, i have to work on getting rid of my ego too.

Isn't that Cheng's Riser?

Rock, Metal, and Alternative.

What do you mean by "in light of this joyous day of April Fools"?

Come on people, it's April Fools Day isn't it?

UHHH........SHYEAAAA!!!! Just because you "know" the basics doesn't mean you know them well. I mean, i thought i knew everything i needed to know about card magic when i was 2 months into magic. But then someone told me to get Royal Road and boy was i wrong. I didn't even know half the...

Wait, Dan and Dave THEMSELVES? Then it would be Andthensome as far as i know. Unless you're talking about their next release inwhich case it would be If an Octopus Could Palm.

L&L Publishing has stuff like that. They have DVD's called "World's Greatest Magic- *insert trick name here*" What they do is that they take dvd clips of people performing and teaching said effect and putting it all in one dvd. They take clips from dvds of Michael Ammar, Bill Malone, Doc Eason...

My parents really encourage me. The way i avoid being yelled at is i do all my homework and stuff first (honestly it's not that hard, it just takes a long time) so when they ask me "Are you done with your homework?" And i'd simply answer yes, and they'd leave me alone.

Perhaps it's a different handling. Btw, that wasn't the jones change, that was the paul david spin change.

None of the above For magic, it's best to stick with only bikes and maybe tally-ho. When you perform with a special deck like that, there are many people who will think it's a trick deck. I once brought my Centurions to school to perform. BIG MISTAKE. Every single person thought it was a trick...
