Regardless of how someone heckles you, it's not in your interest to encourage them. The best way I've found to deal with a Heckler is to just quit. Walk away from the performance; even if you're at a party it doesn't matter. Put the cards away and announce that you're finished for the evening...

Interesting topic, but I only want to talk about the first part which is the T11 Artist the responsibilites they have. For starters I just want to recognize that T11 has a wide variety of people that do both Flourishes and Magic, though at times it seems slim it's just clear to me that not...

I don't really know what you'd call the system that I know. I learned it from "How to Develop a Perfect Memory" and it's all about associations. I don't know much about the other systems, interested in learning though ;)

I just think it's wrong to assume that all of them are Selfish. People are different to do things differently, that's all there is to it for me. Foo:L you make a good point because it's bad enough performing in public in general sometimes, why would you want to increase the problems by adding a...

Toad has a point and I feel I'm a good example of that. I perform via webcam though I have a camera, I have posted several videos on youtube yet I keep them to myself and none of which are public performances but I do those all the time.

Though I think that not everyone is aware of what a hobbist really is. Think about it from this angle... I feel it's safe to assume that the majority of the people on youtube posting magic are not a regular member of websites like T11. Given that I feel they haven't seen the discussions on this...

Perhaps they're just hobbist who enjoy performing the magic but have yet to work up the courage or nerves to perform in public. Perhaps they just don't want to perform for people, having an interest in magic and doing it doesn't mean you have to perform. People do things for themselves and it...

Him doing it for money goes without saying. It's true he lacks skill but given that he was a performer in Vegas for a period of time you'd think he'd respect it more than he does.

hmm... Thought this was done with by now. Valentino's arguement as to why he does the show is interesting, but I believe that if you truly respect the art this is magic... you wont tarnish it by revealing the secrets.

Only one thing I would add to Mr. Moo's challenge.... as a tip. Is practice the flourish slowly, I know options tend to differ on this a bit. Most seem to agree that slow is the way to go and speed develops with it.

I would love to learn that trick Michael, we should talk ;)

DG seems to be pretty busy as of lately. I'm sure JM will call him a few times haha

Fair warning SanJ, Flourishing takes a lot of time and practice. Don't be discouraged! Learn some of the basic flourishing moves and then develop from there. Trying to tackle harder moves first will only frustrate you to tears. If you have Xtreme Beginners that would be a great place to start...

My dad performed a coin vanish routine to me roughly 5-6 months ago. I realized I wanted to try it and picked up cards instead. Here I am today haha

That's what I thought I heard as well. I know JM said it was something he was just playing around with. I could hardly hear Michael to begin with so I'm not sure.

I figured he looked up his number and had him go through an act just as presentation to make us think he could do it like that. :P The trick that Michael did was pretty sweet, I want to know the resource for that one and the cell phone trick.

I thought you were going to lose it CM, you were laughing pretty hard there. I'm surprised he didn't want to pass a flaming piece of paper around, he had a thing for fire last night.

I think twicking the werm is a pretty basic thing to do. Sure you'll drop cards and what not but at least you can get an overall idea of what can be done. Then just practice it and before you know it you'll have a bigger display.

Yeah, I have a brick of them myself. I just wanted to hear what others thought of them. I love them but I still perfer to use Guardians.
