Stereotype much? All magicians care too much about being heckled, and mentalists don't? I'm a magician and I don't care if I get challenged. I'm usually quick-witted when I perform. Congrats, your statement is now worth nothing. I love how you think all mentalists don't give and are just rebel...

Seriously? You have to ask? Just did. Flat out saying you can read minds so blatantly is the same as watching Harry fly on a broom. They know it's fake. William and Randy: I was referring to the statement, "I can read your mind,think of your card", with no explanation other than that...

Alright, well I'm marking the "I can read your mind,think of your card" at the lowest end of the God-mage. That little comment is minuscule to what it can really be played up as or what else could be accomplished. Plus, many laymen would expect a magician to know how to do a mind reading...

Very gross, but I'm happy you could find a positive in this situation. In the future, try baby powder or chalk. I was in gymnastics when I was a kid and there were giant bowls full of powdered chalk that we'd rubbed on our hands so that we had better grip while flipping on bars and rings...

The magician doesn't even need to play off that whole image. A small remark, "I can read your mind, think of your card(FYI- if you ever say this line in your act, I will slap you)" by the magician and most of the time you get challenged to read another person's mind with no trick in the works...

With movies, audiences know that it's all fake. The director knows that people understand it's just a movie and it's not real. Audiences just accept that. But when an audience hears a magician saying what he's doing is all real and that he has powers, well they're gonna want to challenge him...

Ok, wow. Grow up, these forums are for magic related subjects. Not to see who is a body builder, owns a dirt bike, has a tattoo, likes cinnamon oatmeal, can burp on command, or likes to use the word "Anti disestablishment". RDC was right for posting that thread, maybe you should take the time...

Just so we're clear here, you're talking about how some magicians don't like to play the part of a "magician"? Magicians like Wayne Houchin that are honest with the audience saying what he is doing is just sleight of hand and trickery and not pretending to act like he has super powers. If I'm...

Nah I don't think it's Banachek. He's giving magic lectures.

Richard Osterlind?

Yeah, Jake and Amir are hilarious. Those are really the only vids from there I really watch. That and the ones where they're performing in front of an audience in NY. Good stuff.

Sad, but I agree. That's probably why some people don't wanna see magic when they're at a restaurant. They think the concept of, "Tricks for tips". As if we're only there to make a quick buck (Somewhat true). I heard the same thing a kid said in a weird tone to his dad about Gazzo. "This...

Pretty much.

Agreed haha. People go online to look at porn before they look how to do a magic trick a magician showed them. Even though exposure is out there, you RARELY find laymen who look on youtube for everything about magic.

For your last resort, buy a vest, some extra fabric, needle and thread and sew pockets into the vest. You don't need to be an expert as sewing to know what you're doing. All of that should cost you less than $40, depending on what kind of vest you buy. If that's still too hard for you, then...

No, I think that's what makes it so cool, the fact that the cap was still vacuum tight.

Agreed. I think the vids are more clearer than youtube. Well, with my camera anyway.

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with keep6. That is a ripoff. That can easily be made by anyone who wants to put the time into making it. If you paid for one of those, well God bless you. Attention to detail? It goes under your jacket. Don't get me wrong, theirs looks cool, but way too pricey...

It's a trick from the DGP. You need to print something out for it though, and he's having problems opening the file.

Same thing happened awhile ago with Fraud for me. Until I realized I didn't have a DVD player on my laptop. Bought the DVD drive and now I'm good. Maybe it's the same problem with scatter.
