    A coin trick

    up, then back down, up again, then back down, card shuffling back and forth, this card over this card, and back under this card, did I just see him reverse some cards? was I supposed to see that? whoops, back up and down again, ok, they are all face down now, wait, weren't they face down to...

    New Video About Me!

    Actually, you are arguing the wrong aspect of the word 'Professional'. I am not talking about how each individual perceives what a "professional" is, I was referring to the fact that a professional receives money for a service and because of that, your own perception of what that means becomes...

    Blizzard by Dean Dill

    My British friend thinks Americans are silly because we use "good people" to talk about one person. I love it. However in Britain, apparently they sometimes say, "a couple of mens," instead of "some men," on occasion. Or was that Singapore... hmm, I am not sure. Anyway, the utility device in...

    Cannibal Cards

    You can present "stupid patter" in a stupid way, or in an entertaining way. When done in an entertaining way, it can level an audience (in a good way). Take Tony Chang for example. A lot of his patter is made up on the spot and pretty ridiculous, however, when he does it, it is pure comedy...

    Do you do magic at school?

    School is what you make of it. If you are convinced school sucks, then it will suck, if you think there can be improvements and ways around the problems you face, then there will be ways to make school a better environment for you. Just throwing in the towel and saying "school sucks," is a...

    New Video About Me!

    I am glad that you got the exposure but two things kind of bugged me. You mentioned, "It is called the "Industrial Student" segment and it is all about a student with a skill or talent that they use to make money, and start a career for themself" but the clip didn't really seem to stand out and...

    A Mental Effect I'm Conjuring Up

    I do a multiple selection force as opposed to a single card force on several people. I find that, if you utilize the force a bit too much, and have too many open predictions about it, it turns into a "wow, he caused us all to choose the same card," rather than, "how did we all manage to choose...

    Do you carry cards everywhere?

    If I want to make new friends or meet a girl, then definitely not. If I want to be seen as "the entertainer" and only that, then maybe I'd bring a deck of cards with me. Magic can be done with other things, and in ways that don't scream, "haha, he is a magician!", but, "holy crap, did you...

    This makes me want to quit.

    I'd focus on school.

    Smoke Ideas

    I thought of a similar idea using water, but it is three phases. First you do water to ice. Pour water into your hand, squeeze, it becomes ice. Then the ice becomes vapor. You can topit the ice, blow into your hands because it's cold, and then the vapor comes from your hands.

    What Do You Use In A Live Performance

    Customarily, it is polite to also give what you ask for. Else you may seem to be only wanting other peoples' wisdom, rather than offering some of your own. Perhaps if we could hear a little bit about what you perform for people.

    Live Magic Vid

    Hmm. Not sure I liked the performance. Wasn't a fan of the reasoning for just "going to try and find a few of the cards that could be yours." I feel there could be better patter/ presentation here. What is the motivation for giving the spectator half of the deck to hold onto? The reason...

    What is Magic?

    Just ignore his posts. Do not respond to his claims, comments, questions, etc... If he posts in one of your threads, ignore it. If he creates a thread, ignore it. Even if he attacks you and you want to respond, do not. There is no point in trying to logically debate with someone when the...

    What is Magic?

    Translation = bla bla bla. To everyone else: The sooner you stop feeding the troll, the sooner the troll will go away. That is of course unless he or she has no life. Either way, pathetic is pathetic.

    Summary for those who did not take the time to read his post: "Bla bla bla" End of summary.

    The "How did you do that?" line.

    I say, "very well." They then learn the ambiguity of the question in which they have asked.

    What is Magic?

    Why is this troll still here? lol. I think you fail to realize that even the smartest of spectators, the most logical of spectators, can let go of their logic to simply just enjoy and "indulge" in the idea of magic, for a short while. At the end of the day, they will go home and know that it...

    What is Magic?

    Discussing "what is magic?" on a web forum will become an argument on semantics.

    My Routine

    Uhh, hmm. You only do card magic? (besides the bill switch). And, you do that entire routine at one table? With presentation, that would take about 45 minutes. Chicago opener is good, as is an ACR, but if you do too much with cards, people we get bored. In addition, guests at comedy clubs...
