    Advice Please

    I looked around for this guy "Alex Monday" and couldn't find anything either. The only thing I found was that "Alex Monday" was a character's name from Scary Movie 2. Sounds to me like this guy talks a bigger game than he plays. If that is the case then I wouldn't feel too nervous about it...

    Smoke & Mirrors

    You can search the forums for reviews of the cards. I personally love the stock and finish. The second edition feels thinner than the first. The finish is the same. They are very durable and they don't clump up. The first pack that i opened still fans wonderfully. I highly recommend them if you...

    Help - NLP & Mentalism

    I like Sean Fields more for his magic. I am not as familiar with his mentalism but yes he is good and has a great way of creating effects. However, "Power Word' by Matt Sconce looks pretty good as does "Universal Impression" by Robert Smith. Both can be found at PaperCraneProductions.com...

    Nail Polish?

    It will bring more attention to your fingers so you better be damn good because people will be burning you hands more. It will draw their eyes to movement so for flourishing or manipulation that is a plus (if you're good). For magic it could hurt if you want to minimize the appearance of...

    Help with... everything

    Here's my two cents. You seem to have your head on straight so that's a good start. You sound like you want to be inspired. Like you haven't found anything out there that has really wowed you and made you want to move in it's direction. If you don't know what you want to practice do some...

    Oh yeah, Richard Kauffman's "Complete Works of Derek Dingle" is another great source. Cheers!

    Books, Books, and more Books.

    Just got "Andrus Deals You In" and it's wonderful. Really preatical. All cards. No gimmiks. Great step-by-step. Comes in a spiral bound paperback. Ed Marlo's "Revolutionary Card Technique" is another phenomenal book. I started reading it and found so much good stuff within the first 100 pages...

    What cards would be best?

    I have small hands as well and can just barely palm a card with about a millimeters room for error. I have to keep my hands at just the right angle or else I flash an edge or a corner. To compensate I use misdirection if I have to palm. Know your audience. Do a few tricks that don't require...

    Three Sandwhich Effects

    Nice one. From the title though I thought there was going to be some sort of pop-out and catch going on. Oh well. Cheers on the fan change!

    Who are you?!

    My name is Matt. I'm 28 and I work full time as an artisic associate with a theatre company in Atlanta, GA. I make a living acting (film and stage) and perform magic mostly as a hobby although I have started making money off of it. I am looking into making magic a bigger part of my...

    Instead of Erdnase

    Card College is a great series. If you want just one book however you can get Royal Road to Card Magic. Card College is has more material because it is a five volume series but if you want to just get your feet wet so to speak Royal Road would be a less expensive way to do it. Later down the...

    Pretty nice review despite the gramatical errors. Way to hit the points. I got what I needed to know. Cheers

    New Creation "Vapor Coin Vanish"

    I like it alot. The only thing I have for you and this is really nitpicky but there is a little too much extra thumb movement on the reproduction (kind of a hich hiker motion). I don't know if this can be helped but I think it would help if the fingers close and the coin vanishes and then they...

    Vote!

    If you are registered and can phisically do it... VOTE! I don't care who for (well I do but that's not what this is about) just VOTE! Please do not turn this thread into a political debate. It is just here as a reminder that this election is really important and will determine the direction...

    Redline - Examine?

    It's strange but noone has asked to examine the chap-stick when I've done the trick. Part of it might be because I'm using Chap-Stick brand chap-stick and people are familiar with it. Also you don't necessarily have to show them the chap-stick. Just move on to another trick: "Hey, lemme see that...
