A convincing overhand shuffle (top packet retention) also works quite well. It's a very casual action and something that most spectators don't find suspicious. Whatever method you use it should fit with the rest of your trick. Cheers!

I make a living on the stage acting so for me street magic is a nice change of pace. Cheers!

I love Magic...

Love the spinning coin stop... very nice.

It's not just an art... it's a business too. At his level it's about making a living as well.

He'll get sick of it soon enough and will stop. He obviously does not have the passion for it. It's not really worth stressing over. Concentrate on your own work. Cheers!

The size of their hands doesn't have as much to do with it as that the larger the coin the more visual the effect. Any of those routines that you mentioned can be done with quarters. However, smaller coins limit your distance from the audience and what they are able to see. Also, Morgan silver...

When I'm coming up with a trick I work backwards. I decide what effect I want then go backwards and use the knowlege and sleights that i know to achieve the effect. If you are just 2 months in listen to what the others have posted and keep learning. Don't focus on creating your own effects...

I love this! It made me look back and laugh! The funny thing is we all thought we did! HA! *sigh*

I had a friend ask me to do a trick yesterday. She hasn't seen me do too much so I did my adaptation of Carlile Aces. Before I even started she said, "Normally I don't like magicians or magic really for that matter. But when you do it, you seem to enjoy it as much as the people watching. I don't...

It's also in his 2004 lecture notes called Blueprints. Cheers!

I would love to know how long you have "studdied" comedy and what your experiece is that makes you an expert on the subject. I agree that jokes need to be crafted and well written. In my opinion stand-up comedy is one of the hardest of the performing arts. Your take on improv however is rather...

I got Secret Weapon as a prize from a contest Aaron had few months ago and I love it. It's fun not only for the audience but also for the performer. Not to mention the method is really easy and the result is great. Cheers!

What helps me is this: The only fingers used on my right hand are the second and third on one short end and the thumb on the other end. Rather than a tossing motion (only downward) I give a quick "shake" motion (down and then up like you would a salt shaker). While doing this I gradually...

It is a knacky move and it is taught in Aaron's book The Paper Engine. They probably didn't explain it in detail on the Trilogy because they want you to buy the book. I do own Paper Engine and I must say it is well worth picking up and I don't even use the pop-out move. Aaron's work on the...

It is them. Conveniently they are twins so they can share a card.

Just got my orange edition in the mail today.... Lots of fun stuff... One of my favorite parts is when they are telling you how to smoothe out the rough edges of a cheap deck and they demonstrate with a brand new deck of Jerry's. Ha! Seriously though there is a good amount of stuff on this...

A tennis ball works quite well too and those are cheap. Or if you live near some public courts they are free. People hit them over the fence all the time. Just take a walk by and you'll find two or three. Cheers!
