It depends on what kind of performing scenario you find yourself in. It's not something that interests me for a few reasons. The deck must be sealed is the biggest problem. If you want to perform this for a news appearance or on YouTube that's fine. It's probably best for a one off killer...

Ten ichi thumb tie! When it is performed well it amazes me like crazy

Good to see you again!

Hannibal also does this :)

Hannibal uses a Pringles can for his chop cup. He also does a signed card to Pringles can. Justin Flom performs a color changing pringles can, It is super sweet!

The Mauger Centennial deck uses "I" for aces and "X" for 10's. It's a reproduction deck. I believe that the Mauger Replica deck has the same indices.

Max Maven, David Copperfield, Criss Angel, and Banachek are stage names. What are these magicians real names?

Awesome effect, I know he loves The Usual Suspects. He also calls the moment when it turns around the Mcguffin.

Yeah, so one challenge with working for another magician is that you have to have a variety of different effects. When I create for myself it is different to an extent. So I have 4 chair tests that close my show depending on the audience. The effect is very similar but the methods and...

Buy books. The biggest bang for your buck is still to buy classic books, visit the library, and save your other purchases for magic that you have researched well and are sure you will use.

I'm going to give a guess and say that it has something to do with Lewis Carol

I watched a Lance Burton TV special. He was the coolest guy I had ever seen. He asked us all to place a penny under our pillows that night. I did and it turned into a dollar by morning. It was the greatest thing I had ever seen!

I'm very passionate about creating, this last year I have created a ton more than I have performed. I work with Rick Lax and create much of the magic that you see on his entertainer page. This has lead to some other consultation work with other television. Over the last year I have become, as...

I have to disagree to some extent, respectfully of course. From day to day our creations look like imitations but I believe that innovation is a slow evolution. Evolution is actually a pretty accurate metaphor in my opinion. It all looks very similar but when we compare vanishing a silk (Created...

This is an awesome topic! It's hard to chose, I may need to update this post more when I do some more research on what happened this year. 1. Best release of the year: Theory11-Odessy Ring, General-GPS Deck 2. Best video of the year: I'm pretty sure this was in 2016, The Illusionist's TV...

Just for some context, Janine Driver worked with Paul Ekman. They were both consultants for Lie to Me. I find her work to be less dry than Eckman's.

Even if I prefer to shuffle the deck the trick doesn't need it to be outstanding.

So it was a mental trick right? You never produce their card you just name it? That sounds sweet man! let me know if you find it. I might need to figure out my own method for this one.

I'm not trying to be flippant but the best place to go for free magic is still the library. You can get many of the classics on book or DVD.

I use "David's Cull", or "A Brave New World". In the past I have used a slop shuffle to separate the cards. I don't agree with David's above statements. For those of you who are new to the forums this is very rare. I always apreciate David's input. That said, OOTW may be my favorite plot and I...
