Youth isn't destroying magic it's changing it. The respect needs to remain for the old but I think the only way to evolve is to improve upon or change the old. Take Dan and Dave for example. Their card magic is deeply rooted in "old" card technique. They studdied the work of masters and blended...

Yes it is possible to get the card to the top but... the deck does not stay in order. It does not stay in order when you control it to the bottom either. The angles are pretty good. The move does take a good amount practice and Aaron makes it look really easy (that's because he's really good)...

I would say the only similarity between this and Fallen is that a card rises to the top. With Shifty the card is face up in the middle of the deck whereas with Fallen the card is placed face down. With Fallen the cards visualy fall through each other and the deck is only lifted vertically...

If this guy is cool and you think you might become friends he could be a great person to practice for regardless if he is going to persue the craft himself. I have a good friend who really likes magic but doesn't perform or practice. He has a great respect for the art but is one of those people...

DVD's aren't bad! However I don't think that people should pass up a book because it is not on DVD. Some things just translate better to DVD than they can in text format... even with pictures. In Garcia's Blueprints he says that the ego slip is easy to show (DVD) but is really hard to put into...

Well congrats on being able to do the move because I sure can't... yet. I have the PDF but I wouldn't mind seeing a 1on1 of it. In my opinion it's a chrome-plated b**ch but man does it look cool if you can nail it. By the way elemental any tips, other than the ones in the PDF, that helped you...

It is easy to spot if you are looking for it. To someone who has never seen the deck before it is pretty much invisible.

What kind of Magic interests you? Do you like Coins, Cards, Prop/ Parlor Magic? First figure out what you want to perform the check out some basics in that area. Coins are great because they are everywhere therefore you can always perform. I think every magician should know at least 2 good coin...

First off let me say that I love these cards! The stock, finish, design... all of it. In staring at the back design I noticed a few small details that make them a one way deck. This is not like the Guardiens where the design is offset in the white border. There is a little of that but it is not...

First, their advise about only using half the deck is good advise to follow. Second, I found that if you rotate your wrist clockwise (about 90 degrees so your palm is facing to the right) as the fan is opening you get a more even spread. Your wrist should finish rotating when the fan is...

The T11 logo looks out of place in that design. I like where you're going though. Keep it up. Cheers!

I love this book! The quality of the paperback is great. Aaron is a masterful teacher and the photos capture just the right moments to aid in teaching the sleights. The sleights themselves are wonderful and fun to practice. This book is not for beginners but the practice of removing tension...

He was making a jab at your grammar. I guess he didn't read the end of your post where you mention that english is not your first language.

I have not gotten this but I would say no. I would imagine it looks like palming because the right hand has to provide cover of the whole deck. Watch the movement of his left thumb during the sleight. I think there's something to it. Once again i don't own this nor do i know how it's done...

Very well put. I highly agree with studying your influences. Why are they so good? What makes them unique? There is a lot of good material out there on theory.

Now that you have a good performace base I would suggest working on coming up with some more of your own tricks or routines. Learn more sleights and tailor them into a routine that fits with your style. You know the types of effects you like to perform so find some new ways to come up with them...

Kings Rising is pretty good too. You can find it at ellusionist. It's a little risky and rather angle sensitive but it's "impromtu" (you don't need a gimick but you need to be dressed to perform) and looks really good when performed well. I learned it but don't do it often. I use it more for one...

The only thing that really bothered me about that quote was Daniel's response to the e-mail. That was a pretty weak cop-out! I like Daniel and I like the effects he performs for the way HE performs them. He adds his own style and flare to a trick that it's taken this long for people to...

Well first of all she's 14 how old are you? Second, if you don't tell her you have a girlfriend and you date them both you will get caught eventually and you will lose both girls and any connections that you might get from the one girl's father. Third, don't date her just for what her dad...
