I know it's been said that if you don't have explicit permission from the creator of a move, it can't be used, so just giving credit isn't enough. However, what if it's a variation of the move, or an expansion of the idea? If I have an idea to expand upon Geoff Williams' "I hate David...

Ok nice, I have sponge balls, including color changing ball to square and growing ball outdone.

That's fine! I don't have D'lites yet, but I can definitely pick some up. Honestly What I mentioned is basically all I have at the moment for non card stuff, I'm kind of just now branching out. I ordered Bobo's coin magic, since I have no experience with coins. I do have some rubberband stuff...

Although I'm not as qualified as Benji, Draven, and Rick, I'd still like to put my input. My "resume" wasn't like a traditional one you use for any other job. It highlighted who I was, what my purpose was, the benefit to the restaurant for having me, and then my experience (fairs, birthday...

All the links here are full of great advice. I simply walked in and talked to the manager. I had a resume printed out and all that, and make sure you dress up a bit to give a more professional appeal. It helped that this particular restaurant had a magician before, so they were very willing to...

I've been looking for colored rubberbands, thanks! Jacob

Sounds good, but nothing too original or groundbreaking. The Spello Change by Jesse Feinberg and Ink by Mickael Chatelain both accomplish the same thing, although in totally different ways. However, you can't do it on your body with those, so that's a nice little feature you have. On the other...

Ooooo, Casey getting deep on us haha. Just pokin fun there. For real though, I like that, there have been things like this before relating to the whole "be yourself" and all that, but I haven't really seen it expressed like this before. Each line does something very different. If you don't mind...

There were only maybe one or two that didn't really hit if off with me, but that in no way takes away from the artistic talent and display here. I would sooo buy these, as either a regular sized deck, or wall pieces. Fantastic work man! Jacob

Also, Steve Forte has a DVD called "Gambling Protection Series" it's sold out on Dan and Dave, so idk where you would get it. Jacob

That does look veeery clean. I don't know how many applications it has though. Jeff Kaylor's UCCU has almost limitless possibilities, including a very fair looking card in envelope. Jacob

I recently started performing anniversary waltz. High impact, fairly simple, you will more than not need a table or platform of some sort though. Very beautiful effect, I highly recommend it. Jacob

Fair enough. If you can't stand your ground, you'll get walked on like a rug. Props to sticking to your guns man. Jacob

Awesome thanks, I still think it's good to practice will all sorts of sizes though, that way you'll be prepared for anything. Like having a few effects you can do if someone hands you a ratty old deck that's all sticky (Geoff Williams' Devestation, anyone?) Jacob

Gotcha, I have bigger hands, so I'll just play around with different sizes. 50 cent pieces seem like they would work better in a more stand up/parlor show, as Calvin said. I'll look around and find some things, thanks guys! Jacob

Awesome, it seems Bobo's and Metal are the way to go for me. Question, what's a flipper, and what does it do? Also, should I start learning with 50 cent pieces? Or just begin with quarters? Are certian effects coin-specific? (Ignorant question alert) where can I get some 50 cent pieces? Just...

Yeah I'm a little confused as well. You started magic because of the reactions you get? How do you know what reactions you get when you are just starting? It's a bit of a conundrum. As a promo, yes I like it. It shows you get good reactions, which must mean you performed it well, which means...

Well that's just youtube performers. The more you perform for real people, the more you understand how to script effects. Even if you don't make an actual script, you realize what things work and what don't. In an effect like Con Cam Coincidencia by Paul Wilson, there isn't a need for an...

Thank you! I really appreciate all the feedback. It might be different on the DVD, but from the trailer and stuff, it just seems like "flurries" as William said. I like the gazelle theme, it adds some depth and justification to the effect, rather than "here are three coins, watch as they...
