I love the look of Monarchs :)

The sleeve idea or the tenkai ideas are both pretty solid then. They will take a little practice but you can get them down!

I need to learn this! It works best straight on but it has a little wiggle room. There are a few versions of the bluff pass out there that will get a card to the top or second to the top with the card out jogged. It feels extra bold because the magician sees a very exposed view but if you...

I'd love to have a few decks of Black Lions, thanks for sharing. I don't these would be the best if you are learning, you drop the deck a lot and bend them in ways that will make you burn through them quickly. I would also recommend rotating through your decks. Have 2 or 3 that you are using...

Theory11 has the newest version available. It has been released in other forms in the past. I'm not sure if that is the reason here but it could contribute to it.

Good question. I don't know! I have tried to film cardistry but I can't ever get things to look as good as E, Theory11 or the Virts

It's a little bold and a little angle sensitive, but it is crazy deceptive.

I grew up playing card games constantly with my family. I could shuffle and deal early on but my show didn't have any technically demanding magic in the start. I performed a nudist deck routine (It was a TV magic deck, bridge sized) and that was about as technical as I got in the beginning. I...

I found a book called My First Magic Book. It showed you how to make all your own props and gave you a script. At the end of the book it broke it all down into a show. That book was my show. I created every prop and performed it basically as is. I'd recommend it to any beginner especially if...

So I'm not sure about the price on quantum space. I'd assume it was anywhere from $40-100. Is it worth it? Well, if you are going to perform it then it probably is. A lecture pack usually is a deal that the lecturer puts together with their products. It usually is a pretty good deal...

I'd buy a brick of blue and red bicycle cards at Costco or Sams. This gives you a lot of mileage for practice and performance.

I feel your pain! Like I said, I'm finishing my Master's in Education. Almost without exception, all of my classes are reiterations of the things that I already learned as a teacher.

I don't think you need a degree to succeed. I do think that you need to have a realistic view of what you are capable of. If you have any goals you need to see the realistic pathway that it may take to get there. You are 100% right that many kids put a ton of practice into making their pass...

If the job is as simple as wearing a T-shirt than do it, just don't think that you are going to gain any real world skills that can help you out in the long run. Who is going to pay you to promote their site? I want to do that!

What do you want your audience to see?

Try putting the deck up your sleeve, show your hands empty and anounce that you have an invisible deck of cards. Pretend to toss an invisible deck towards your audience. When they catch it let the deck fall down your sleeve in your cupped hand. Ask them to toss the deck back and mime catching it...

Wallgreens sells a deck call Studs. These are cheaper than Bicycle cards but handle just about as well. One big problem with beginners is that they are inclined to get a cheap deck that is poorly made. IT doesn't seem like it would make a big difference but it does. If it isn't a new deck from...

This is fun, I'd like to hear what kind of paths everyone took to get to where you are now in magic. Here's mine: -Saw Lance Burton on TV at age 6 -First magic book later that year -Began performing at childrens burthday parties at age 8 -Age 12 I was surprised with a trip to a David...

I did that once at a talent show in Jr. High, after seeing David Williamson do it. Afterwards everyone was like, "What was that all about?!"

Display the 2 coins (The gaff and the other) in one hand and hold the other coin in a finger palm from the very beginning. The audience should never know it's there.
