Just read it, and I went back and read your tips, thanks! As for turning your back, I like the idea, but I also like Paul's theory of not doing it so they are inclined to hide it from you more, thus having them invest more in the effect. I have a question for you if you have worked this already...

I need to get me a subscription to this haha.

Congrats man! That's great

Awesome, thanks man!

This is such a vague question. Why do you want these? Do you feel you are ready for the challange, each has a freakin boat load of information you'll need to study for a while to get down. We don't know how you perform, or what you like performing, how skilled you are, ect. Instead of asking...

Nah I checked penguin, couldn't find it. I don't know why they stopped carrying it. The main effect is really nice but I would really like the other ones also since WPR said it is just some insane stuff on there.

I went to look up the Touch DVD on Ellusionist, but they say it's not found? The only other place I can find the whole DVD is world magic shop, and I'd rather not pay for international shipping. Does anyone know where else the DVD is available in the US?

Awesome, thanks again for this Rick! Lots of great info in the interview, make sure you check it out everyone!

What do you feel are the necessary foundations for one to have a career in magic? How vital are connections for one trying to be a professional performer? Did you have high connections, and if one didn't, how would that affect their progress? How/when did you discover your style in magic and...

Listen to anything Rick says, as he has loads of experience with kid shows. I'm still working on my own kid's show that does involve most of the things he listed, I just need to add in some fire for if I do older kid's shows.

Nice! I'm like 20 minutes from there, next time you go let me know and maybe we can meet up.

Totally getting this. This is perfect for walk around since I won't have to worry about a set up. Thanks Matt!

If I have larger pockets (like my cargo shorts) I show it jumping from pocket to pocket, and then the whole deck vanishes except for their card. Currently I use the pop up move to end it, by having them focus on the card. I'm hoping to get Freedom Pack by Justin Miller as an ending, and I'm also...

David Roth said that people think they should practice on something in really long sessions, but you actually learn better if you do it a little at a time and come back to it. It will help the muscle memory better. Here is the interview...

This thread is from over 4 years ago. Why did look aaalllll the way back here for your very first post? It's a useless bump. Try and comment on more relevant threads next time please.

Incorrect. This same principle was featured on "Penn and Teller Tell a Lie" where some little Asian women made bodybuilders unable to pick her up. I'm not saying she invented it, but on the show Penn and Teller said the principle has been around for a while. Unless the methodology is different...

Talk to them, ask questions, respond, make conversation. Act like you really aren't doing anything but casually looking through the deck. Yes your eyes will look down at the deck, but if you don't make such a big deal about it, no one will know. Practice the movements first (of setting up the...

When I'm chillin with my girlfriend and I start playing with my cards, she'll say "put your girlfriends down and talk to your real one!" (jokingly, of course). She is actually really supportive of my magic and does what she can to help. I'll show her new effects, I've even told her how I do some...

I agree, I actually winced when he said that line. The shadow concept was cool as I haven't seen it before, but he could've milked it soooo much more. Why not get the shadow to pull out the card as well? The MCF was really well done, I see now how placing attention at certain things at certain...

Reality: Alright cool, thanks, I'll work on that. Matt: Great advice, thanks a lot! I'll take that into account. Again, thank you everyone for all the adivce, this really helps!
