Just trying my best in an art form I love

Thanks, I've been around. I just haven't posted a ton. There's a lot of good stuff this week :)

A montage of progressive anagrams. Classic mentalism updated by Atlas Brookings and performed by me :)

With most cardistry it just takes perseverance. Just watch the video slowly and work through each piece. Michael James is a student of the Buck's so you could familiarize yourself with their material but in the end cardistry is so diverse you could start about anywhere. You just have to have the...

I haven't seen any of these come up in a long time. It's probably been at least 10 years since I've seen them available in any type of shop. If you do come across one plan on spending over $1000 on an effect that is not self contained. You need control over your environment in order to perform it.

My reason for not using IT is that it would be exposing too much for my taste. I think that the cups and balls are a good wizardy piece of magic. Any thing coin related could feel wizardy as well in my view. I tend to look for novelty in magic that I am sharing with random strangers. My rule of...

Along the same lines, don't name it something that betrays its method. Lots of old classics have the problem of revealing themselves just by you mentioning the title. The double undercut, tells everyone exactly what you are doing. Don't refer to the gimmick or method in the title.

I have been into magic since a very young age I think I saw my first magician at around age four and learned my first trick soon after. At age 7 or 8 I got more involved and scoured the library. By high school this scouring became a full habit and I would always look for magic books at the...

Rope magic is always great, I always like to recommend Professor's Nightmare.

Absolutley, when performing at restaurants I only perform for those patrons waiting to be seated and waiting to receive their food.

I am a student of Erdnase and am always trying to increase my proficiency of the techniques he teaches. I own several pieces of supplemental instructions but I wonder if someone more proficient in Erdnase could offer what they think are the best pieces of supplemental instruction on Erdnase's...

Top change, overhand shuffle control and the hindu shuffle control all would work as well.

Sankey 2015 is the most comprehensive of your options. You'll learn most of the other techniques on it.

I've had mine for years and have never had to worry about it deforming. What kind of magic are you doing that will deform it?

My go to mentalism latley has been Comical by Atlas Brookings. I also have a billet-less way to guess a thought of holiday that I have created.

Kyle Marlett has a vanishing banana, Dan Hauss has a bitten and restored apple as well as Dalton Wayne

Nathan Kranzo knows a ton about the world of book tests. I know there are various websites where you can self publish for a few bucks a book. I'm not sure which sites are best.

I'm working on memorizing huge mnemonic systems, Branching Anagrams, Mental gymnastics!

The thing that has helped me the most is when I have been working on something for a while and the SNC just happens to coincide. You always need to be honing your craft.

Well, you have to have a product before you can sell :) So, work on your act till you have something you can offer. A good place to practice is a nursing home. They are always looking for people to perform for the patrons. Once you have a show contact places you want to perform. Criss Angel has...
