    The most Amazing Reaction to Magic I have Ever Had

    I actually regret not taking a bigger step back. The awkward parts are when I rush through. For those who want to do this trick, that's great. I don't want to tell you where to find it! Haha! If you would like to learn it PM me. If you can answer 3 magic related questions, then I might give you...

    Beginner - Should I focus on one discipline?

    On card tricks. There is an idea that all card tricks ask you to pick a card and the magician finds it. If that is what you are doing you have a lot ahead of you, and it's no wonder that you are bored. There is much, much, much more out there. Experiment with every thing

    Beginner - Should I focus on one discipline?

    I'm constantly trying new things all of your knowledge will help you out. I think specialization is important, but I believe it takes years to specialize. Years of study.

    Which brick of cards to purchase next for practice

    Linoid, Cambric and Air Cushion are all exactly the same. The people who swear they are different are mistaken. When the USPCC purchased the BEE brand, they (BEE) called to their finish as Cambric before they were bought out. Bicycle referred to their cards as having an Air Cushion and Tally Ho...

    Spread and Square - Has it been done?

    I hate to break it you you but this is a beginner trick that has been taught all over the place. It is basically a version of "Think Stop" without any of the presentation that makes it a good trick. Every card trick needs a premise. Why are you doing this trick for this person? If you want to...

    Levitations or penetrations are great. The trick with these is that if you catch the video at any moment you can tell that something impossible is happening.

    Need advice on buying a book

    Even though many of these are out of order I think Expert Cart Technique, The Encyclopedia of Card Tricks (There are upwards of 1000 tricks in here, many are self working, many you will need Card College or Expert Card Technique to work out), and the Anneman or Scarne books would all work as...

    Whats your favorite deck to perform with....

    I use Bikes when I'm having cards signed. I'll send nicer decks to my clients as thank yous after the show. I'll also give the deck away after I perform sometimes. Bikes are just cheap and easy to get. If I have a nicer gig where I'm getting paid more I might use a custom deck. I love NPH...

    Food for thought

    I love real reactions like this. Magicians lie to themselves a lot and need to be a little more critical of what they are doing and why they are doing it. I can see a fire wallet working as an introduction to a piece of magic but it's the kind of thing that I feel like the audience understands...

    A New Idea For Color Change 2017

    I don't think that's the part he's sharing, though it is confusing where he's changing a 10 to a 6 of clubs. I think the new move is at 0:22
