When I want to make the card appear somewhere, or make the card leave the deck. Once I have the card 'Copped' I place the deck on the table and either spread it, or ask someone else to do it. That way, all eyes are on the deck and not me. ;) Once you've 'copped' you just can't stop! Cheers, Tom

For Fallen you pretty much have to have everyone in front of you for this effect. And it's only really an effect for two people. There are better rising card effects out there. Not one of Danny's best unfortunately Cheers, Tom

Why might that be kind sir? Cheers, Tom

I highly recommend Gregory Wilson's Double Take DVD for this and many other double lifts. Its an awesome DVD that really helped me progress in magic. Cheers, Tom

So what your saying.... I (and many others) suck because I (We) don't flourish? And I would hardly call myself 'old school', Ive only been doing magic for 2 and a bit years. You honestly sound like you need a slap round the face by someone like Gregory Wilson or Micheal Ammar. (Just to name...

How did you start learing? Did anyone inspire you? Cheers, Tom

Far out BrianationX, do you purposely get on everybody's backside, or does it just happen accidently? Honestly, you should read what you post, you sound so arrogant and up your self. I was talking to a friend today about sleight of hand, and how the audience perceives it. And we came to the...

Hell yes! Give us a shout when the next one is on, I want to put my voice out there. Cheers, Tom

Yeah, like the guy above, even though I use "regular" bikes. I get the odd person asking if I use a trick deck. I dont really care much for custom cards. In the end, its just a deck of cards. Cheers, Tom

Ok. Everyone listen up! BrianationX obviously knows what hes talking about. So why don't we all do what he reckons, because its going to make us better magicians. So remember; No more talking in any of your routines. Thats bad. No trying to be funny. Thats not what magicians do. And most...

Just because something is easy, doesn't mean it is bad. People, maybe, like to hire Comedy magicians because they find them far more entertaining. And also, everybody enjoys them. And believe it or not, when people hire, they don't just hire anybody, they pick the person with a good reputation...

Ah yes, another awesome comedy magician. Check out some of his videos. And yep. I read your post, I was just reinforcing the point and adding my opinion. Cheers, Tom

Yeah, about sleights. Lay people couldnt give a crap really about how long it took you to do that or how you did it. I was talking to a mate about Change the other night, and how I told him a simple shapeshifter did it for me. Its all the same to laymen. (Back to Brian) And also DW's routine...

Patter can make the trick. Eg. Control. Without the patter, you would get a far less of a reaction that you would with patter. How many effect do you perform without patter? The patter makes the effect that more entertaining. And the job of the magician is to entertain. And to Peter; Right...

Does it really matter how hard a trick is? A hard trick pulled of perfectly doesn't make a great magician. Just because you can do magic, doesn't make you a great performer. David Blaine did some really easy stuff on his specials, and look where he is now... Simple hits hard. Also, David has...

Would you call David Williamson and Tommy Cooper a clown? Have you seen them do their magic. Its unbelievable. Cheers, Tom

Anything that is very popular and well known, Cheers, Tom

Awesome man, Nice one. Cheers, Tom

I like to watch some of the classic magic videos. I recommend watching Tommy Cooper and Paul Daniels. Some of their performances are fantastic. Cheers, Tom

I would usually follow this; 1) Second best trick, an attention grabber. Something simple and visual. 2) Something different, something that involves the spectator 3) Best Trick. Something that will leave an impression. Hope that helps. Cheers, Tom
