    The Color Change: When is it Appropriate?

    An effect like "Joker's Wild" where the color changes are justified works well. The Avenue by Dorian Rhodell teaches a cardini-like change that he uses in several of the effects taught on there. Hope that helps!

    New Release: Vertigo by Rick Lax

    Looks very cool, but doesn't really seem to fit me. I'm sure others will love this though. Jacob

    Reflections from Last Night's Gig

    Great post Rick, thanks for sharing! I've been watching Benji's videos as well and can't wait to put some things learned into effect tomorrow. As for your CMH situation, I had a girl who had toe thumbs, and couldn't bend them, so I just used her index fingers instead and had her make "guns"...

    Kids Magic Show!

    http://www.magicgeek.com/kid-show-magic-39.html Go nuts :) Most kid stuff is pretty easy to learn (not to do...to learn) since kids will call you out the moment they see something. Magic Coloring book is awesome, I have two and let the kid to the magic with a magic marker/eraser. Thumb tip...

    Spreading the invisible deck

    Hey there! Welcome to the forums! As for your problem, try pushing off a small block of cards instead of just one. The invisible deck is designed that more frequently thought of cards are located towards the middle, at least it works out for me like that more often than not. Just practice...

    Confidence

    That's basically it, it just takes practice and repetition of what she needs to work on. Good luck!

    Russian Houlette (Idea)

    Understood, but with the edits, it seems more of a camera trick than an actual effect, make sense? I've seen your other videos so I doubt you would fake anything, but the finale wasn't as strong as it could've been

    Russian Houlette (Idea)

    It was good, but all the cuts in between interrupted the flow of the effect, you know?

    Saturday Night Contest - Let's Get Techno-Logic!

    True, I'll just keep in the back of my mind. I've just tried to create before and hit a massive block. I get good ideas, just nooo way to execute them, you know?

    Has this ever happened to you?

    If you are really bummed about the situation, then you need to play it better. I perform for different people every weekend at the restaurant where I work, so I can't remember everyone, but I'm known as "the balloon guy" or the "magic guy." Which is fine, because that way they know who I am, and...

    Everything But Olives

    Veeeery nice. I thought you were misleading us with the "no dupes" towards the end haha, but you proved me wrong. I like it a lot, great work!

    Holely by Will Tsai review!!!!!

    Can you do this on a business card? Or just playing cards? Is the gimmick style specific? Like can you only do it with bicycle, or can you do it on tally's and the like?

    Shell question

    Where does one buy shells? I'm new to coin magic and I'm looking where to get some. I don't have magic stores near me, so any online sources would be great! Do shells come in all sizes? Like pennies? Or are they just like quarters, and various half dollar styles?

    Upcoming Projects

    It all sounds awesome, but a preview would give us a better idea. Yes you can use descriptive words and what not to pump up an effect, but a video will show us just exactly what we are getting. Jacob

    New Moves in ACR

    Props to being imaginative and creating some of your own things. That being said, I agree with the others where the first two moves are just not practical in any way. Lots of noise, fast suspicious movement, and really unnatural. Keep up the creating the though! It might take 1000 tries, but a...

    Anyone Performing "Legend"?

    I got Legend by Justin Miller and it think it's awesome. However, I haven't had a lot of time to practice it yet, but I plan to this weekend. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone is out there performing this and how it plays for you, the versions you do, if it's working well, ect. I'd just...
