Any book that can teach you general sleight of hand (Vanishes, palming, productions...) for various objects will give you the tools you need. You probably already own a book containing many of the moves needed, you just need to get around to adapting the moves from coins/cards/billiard balls to...

Nice first change...but you can see the ditch before the reveal of the second change, thought you should know.

Classic Bullet Card - Ammars Easy to Master Card Miracles (Volume...5?) With a slightly modified handling Crazy Mans Handcuffs / Stairway / Linking Rubber Bands (assuming I have rubber bands) - Arthur Setterington / Marcus Eddie / I think I use Dan Harlan's Linking rubber bands, but with Geoff...

The only idea floating around in my head makes perfect sense, but I don't see it flying by both Penn and Teller... If I'm right it's devilishly clever, if I'm not-then it's still clever, I'm just fooled as well.

You can also scan the table of contents making a quick note of everything you don't currently know (second dealing, probably not what you're looking for) and save yourself some time. And, not being a thorough student of ECT yet, I found the techniques in question in under 10 minutes. With...

Good show sir, loved every minute of it - keep up the good work.

So you're attempting to pass 2 cards into the center...without disrupting the order of the deck? A regular pass would place them in the center (much like the aces in cavorting aces) but if you're trying to retain the deck order it won't work. It's hard to tell for sure if your 3-packet pass...

You can add Jason Mraz and Bruno Mars...they always seem to be wearing Fedoras. The video was nice, the effects were pretty cool, but I have to agree that you're much better live. It's a lot harder to do webcam magic (not something I'd want to try, personally) but definitely keep at it -...

I tell them there are books on magic, if you know where to look for them. If someone is legitimately interested they'll ask where they can get one and I tell them to look in the games section of barnes and noble or borders. There are a few gems hiding in the section (Mark Wilson's Complete...

I'm a bartender so every time I open a beer the cap goes into classic palm, and I like to false transfer coin change and give them an empty hands worth. I tenkai my MVP, Kroger Plus and VIC Cards at grocery stores and usually pluck them out of the air when asked if I have one. I also like to...

Cataclysmic by J Aaron DeLong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1gKgClKxpM His e-mail is in the description, you can send him a msg and buy his lecture notes to learn the method. His is 100% impromptu, just a pack of cards used.

I PM'd the original poster, but since more than one person is having trouble I might know the actual problem. You're letting your fingers curl too far into a fist. You have to keep your hand (from the wrist to the first joint of your fingers) straight enough so the band won't slip off. To...

Another consideration...can you see the forced card? It does make a difference. The riffle force is a good all-around force, as is the classic (if you get it down properly). Basic forces (as Rick Everhart pointed out) are very deceptive if your effect/routine are structured properly...

And in what environment? I use different forces for 10-15 person groups than I do one on one.

Jay Sankey currently has a free video up that has an effect (that with a modified presentation) would be great for about 50 people. http://www.sankeymagic.com/detail.aspx?ID=48414 It has strong visuals and a great structure.

Good read, solid advice - I have similar views but with different explanations. Mainly with Having open gestures does exude confidence, but I don't see it as marking your territory, I think of it more along the lines of inviting your audience into your space to have a good time as a...

Double posted somehow...this can be deleted...thanks :)

You can always do some rubber band magic. I am using Marcus Eddie's Stairway almost every time I perform and CMH is a classic that continues to be one of the best close-up effects one can do impromptu. And...+1 Craig Browning's Post, a lot of good advice in there (particularly about learning...

Just think, before the digital age you had to either find a brick and mortar shop to see it live or make decisions based on the ad copy, which was written to sell you things. Like this one. :)

Or buy a jacket and learn to sew in your own pockets/holdouts.
