I was really hoping you were gonna say AIDS. I abuse them physically, leaving a mark from my show....literally. Imagine that story: "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM?" "So this magician was doing a card trick, he put the card in the middle, then he started punching my over and over...

......Or you can go up to them and say "pick a card" and perform for them. Don't ask them to do anything- the answer, 95 % of the time, will be no. Tell them to pick a card or to help you out with a trick. Buy Jimmy Talksalot's book, "To Lure with Spectacle"

They are both different books. Jimmy's book goes into much more detail about sidewalk performances and experiences and what works exactly. I found that Art of Krowd Keeping had a lot of really good general information. I perfer Jimmy's book. So I went out busking yesterday, and managed to...

For those interested, I will be performing at Balboa Park today from 12:30- who knows when. BE THERE

practice practice practice IN FRONT OF REAL PEOPLE. The only way to get over this is to perform in front of real people, and try to be concious of it. If someone mentions that I'm shaking for some reason, I respond with, "I learned this trick in Alaska"

Ha ha, thank you very much man. I'm telling you guys', You NEED to read Jimmy Talksalot's book. It's simply amazing. He knows what he is been talking about and has been making his living off of street performing. Some of you have had the....experience...of watching me mess around with Zach...

I know that by reading a few of these threads and responses ;) If you have ADD or ADHD, I understand. If you're lazy and refuse to think, then I think we should be allowed to do brain surgery to give you ADD or ADHD so you have an excuse

I don't think there is anyone on this Earth (and by Earth I mean AMERICA- HELL YEAH) that legitamtely believes that anthing we do is REAL or that we have POWERS. "Yes mam, I am a magician, I do have powers that no other human has.....now pick a card." Give me a break. My show is to do...

It certainly looks natural.......work on the smoothness and clean it up a bit- it should be fine.

I despise that expression. Why are you a visual learner? Can you not read?

I created a 2 handed cut as well that is probably more effective than yours. Step 1) pick up a deck or cards in mechanics grip Step 2) right hand goes in from the top, lifts up half the cards Step 3) rotate hands so the left and right hand are next to each other Step 4) lift left hand and move...

Learning one handed cuts= multi tasking

I agree with William. God damn guys, stop whining about exposure- it's not going stop- it's not going to hurt, suck it up and deal with it. You know what would get your guys' attention off of youtube exposure? STOP GOING ON INTERNET FORUMS SO MUCH, stay away from the boards for a while. Get...

I strongly recommend Carney's DVD. I do not do palming regularly by any means, but in those few instances I have, Carney's DVD has helped A LOT. He teaches techniques, executions, styles, and hand position and how the hand should look when plaming. GET HIS DVD

I'm actually not going to be there this weekend, I have a Magic Castle meeting, next weekend I'll be there

Sorry to revive this topic, but I would like to put a story from today. So I completely forgot that everyone is still working and decided to go out and perfrom at Balboa Park. Of course there is NOBODY there, I didn't get a crowd larger than 15 maybe. Anyways, turns out there has been a tarot...

First off- Rev- I love you for using "rub" in a post- I haven't seen that in forever, actually since I was memorizing To Be or Not To Be- but I digress. Maybe divide up the post a little so it's not a huge block of text. Moving on, I agree with everything that has been said. the 2 card monte...

You put the cards in your right pocket, reached into your left, and pulled them out of your right again. Stop with the camera switches, it's annoying and adds nothing. Other than that, pretty good

The Hindu force definettly does work, when I'm doing my force routine I do a riffle, hindu, criss cross, classic. It works beautifully

Yeah- I wanna go out and perform for people who motor skills have been altered, as well their having their judgement clouded. Fun time to be had there (this is coming from a kid who has performed for drunks and had a knife pulled on him once)
