Rule #1 : You don't talk about the underground. Rule #2: You bring cookies to secret underground meetings, no exceptions. The underground is any magician who practices, lives and breathes in his basement. Or...it's what D ICE R said, just a magician/move/routine that hasn't been seen by many...

I don't own dresscode, but if you're worried about it shredding in the wash you can always hand wash it in a sink to get the funk out. (or Fabreze it!)

I'm going to post the two that I've been performing the most recently, The Opened Prediction and Between Your Points of Departure The first is just an amazing effect when done correctly and the second is just something I've been playing with and performing a lot recently, I always liked the...

If everyone was presenting magic 'darker' then there would be a thread made that said 'Wow, shouldn't we lighten up as magicians?' It's all a matter of choice and perspective (Illogical post reflects that as well) and I'm entirely too goofy to pull off dark and mysterious. I do my performances...

Better cards than drugs, of course you probably wouldn't tolerate a four hour wait for drugs...maybe this addiction is stronger O_o. I actually spent a good amount of time between 4 and 8 yesterday scripting a new effect...so I feel just as accomplished as someone who ordered new cards! :)

Don't use the pinky as a guide? Your second (middle) finger can and should be the finger controlling how many cards are pushed off. (I hope I'm reading your problem correctly).

I don't know when it became evil, but a lemon eating the card makes for great humor when done properly.

I think that in the right settings this type of magic is one of the best. Will it work in your walk-around restaurant set? No. If you had a 45 minute public show would it be a good addition? Yes (if it fits with your style). A lot of magicians say that people can't focus for more than a minute...

I hope you're not mocking me, it might hurt my face-drawn lemons feelings if you are... had you bet me $5 two days ago that I would be typing 'hurt my face-drawn lemons feelings...' on a magic forum, I would now owe you $5... Back on topic, I think playing with both will give you an idea of...

I think a re-worked presentation is in order. The wire is going to be suspected, so maybe it's change can surprise you as well, like you didn't know it was going to happen. By drawing tons of attention to the wire you make it an object of interest. The problem is, it is interesting, so making it...

Aww...you don't like the psychic lemon? You could have even drawn a face on it...my mind is a strange place. If you want to PM me and toss ideas back and forth I'm sure we could pull some good locations for maximum comedic and magical effect.

Or a personal favorite, something nobody believes in and is completely silly -but said and done in a very serious tone/manner.

BRILLIANT! But since you don't want to use it... It depends on the context of having a lemon. If you can think of a way to justify having it on stage then you can build a script around it. Maybe it's a psychic lemon...and it whispers you the name of their card? Maybe you can say something...

Card in peanut butter...I have a great idea for a new and improved sandwich effect! I do believe the palming would be to 'clean-up' the deck, not necessary in this case. Keep your focus on the fruit and everyone else will follow along. (or at least they should...)

And if you're not prepared when that moment arises, you don't get the high paying client for life, so there is no opportunity if you're not ready, it's just a standard change on a train. 'Luck' is being able to take advantage of an unexpected moment. Benji said 'Being everywhere all the time.'...

And he looks guilty about it too, like he might get caught with it. It does look pretty sweet, borrowed iPhone twisted in half.

If rejection is a problem you should be able to shrug it off. Think of the possible outcomes of approaching a stranger; they either accept you, tolerate you, or dismiss you. An accepting person will be happy to have someone to talk to, enjoys making new friends or even just new experiences (you...

I almost forgot, I often find myself looking for opportunities to be 'psychic'. Last night I was at my local pool hall for league and was reaching for a napkin, right as I started the person beside me turned and was saying 'can you grab me a straw'. I went straight for the straw and she looked...
