This sentence: All these people are telling you to get AoA instead because it is a classic, or it is more versatile, or blah, blah, blah. I could care less what is a classic. I think people need to know the history of magic to appreciate what they have, but right now it all comes down to what...

Part of me hopes that it is bad english - or that it's a joke - I don't know what advice to give you...except, humous comes from situations and plots - not exposure and revealing...but that has been said. I don't think you will get much more until you post more what you are looking for - and...

Another idea is to hit her so she doesn't see it coming. Have three written predictions: One says - 10 cards down - shuffle this many cards on top Two says - It's in my pocket - or random location (can be a dup) Three says - "Your girls name", will you go to the dance with me...oh, and...

There are tricks with lipbalm...tic tacs...tin foil...A LEAF OF A TREE...pins...silly putty...coins...business cards...so nope, no "everyday objects" umm, it is heavily cards...but dude - honestly - don't get the books...they are too good for you, go back to doing all of Sankey's stuff...don't...

How much do you like this girl? If you really like her, you could take a blank face deck - write names of all the guys in your school...have ONE card that has her name on it. Go up to her...and say, I wrote names of people I want to ask to the dance on these cards...but I am not sure who...

Hey Toyrobot, Where did you come up with this? You could say that these are the stages of watching a single effect too. Interest Entertainment Shock Astonishment Emotion I would also consider switching Emotion and Astonishment - or consider Astonishment AS an emotion...

Ahh, Thrallmind, it is excellent to see you in this thread – I have missed you! I wondered if you had gone the way of Steerpike, good to know you are still alive and kicking – hope magic is treating you like you treat it! Thanks for posting, as always, bang on. Randomwrath, you make a good...

Hey RK - I wasn't bagging on Sankey, when I was new to magic (and two years is still new - hell, I have been in it a decade and some days still feel new when I see Tamariz do magic - or Williamson entertain) - anyhow, Sankey stuff looks great in his hands - I enjoy his thought provoking book...

Wow Dylan, I agree - odd choices...I would have loved to be in the room while you did the show, and see if your perception matched that of the crowd. When I was your age, I tried to do close up for kid shows...cups and balls...a few card effects - then I saw a talented kid's magician...and...

Toby - you communicate well - the "pig" comment, is a common phrase for giving away something to people that don't deserve it - but it was really meant to get more posts going - and it did, so I meant no harm. We are on the same page. As for your responses on the scenario - it is interesting...

Hey Tumbleweed – you don’t have to leave...but what you post and how you approach the forum can be geared towards making that change. I perform weekly in restaurants and private shows – but don’t feel this forum hurts me...but what I post is an expression of my experience. You seem like a good...

Paul Harris developed that stuff over a LONG period of time - and the A of A stuff is considered classic strong magic - many effects have come from the originals in that book - and FEW are better than the originals. As for the Sankey stuff - well - you have made your choice, so no need to...

218 views at this time - and only 9 comments...three from me...how many out of the 218 views do you think actually took the time to read it? Casting pearls to swine - what a forum!

thanks - haha!

I wouldn't call that list "some of the best fx" in magic - but I can agree that out loud thinking can lead to CREATIVE things. Hope this thread does that...but then again...I think in these times, most people don't share the gold...just the coal...but squeeze it hard enough superman, and it...

That was a lot of cliches mAtt - I am sure you give it 110% when you perform and want people to experience "child like wonder" - ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz - replace your words with simplified concepts. "i have so my reasons, showing my lady off to peopel is great, as I feed off people looking at my...
