Hmm, Definitely flying i think, although the money thing would be cool, although i would proably be doing it in my sleep just to get as rich as possible.
I agreem it's kind of like watching a film with a twist ending for the second time, it doesnt spoil it if its good enough, but its lacking that ooooh, factor, that makes it seem special.
Im right handed but i play cards with them fanned out that way so it would be some benefit i suppose. However here in the UK, if you buy a pack of cards theres around a 30% chance its like that anyway, they just don't seem to mention it.
Yeah i agree, he was doing some stuff at the detroit motor show with a small crowd, and couldnt even get applauses, i wonder what it would be like if he tried the classic Bill-Malone.

Its a tricky topic but what i kind of meant was that to be a professional, people have to think you are a professional and to know that they have to know WHO you are, skill isnt really involved.

Obviously i don't think he's poor, i meant in comparison to other people his style lacks a little something, his center deal is painful he doesnt even try to cover up the break, but definitely he's a better choice than Simon Lovell, who should really just stick to magic, and weirding people out...
Just start with a springing and a swivel cut, thats really all you need, if they ask for something fancy then do a charlier into a one handed shuffle, that'll really get em goin ^^
Do you not find that Derren Brown has increased the number of people aware of this, also the popularity of the show with the same name must have had some impact, i personally find a lot of people who are aware of Mentalists.
If you do a demonstration, then something along the lines of what Ricky Jay does here would be very impressive, as it would almost definitely catch them off guard.
