Finally a reply! Lol. Thanks Luis, it looks really cool, and is it as impossible as it seems?

That was neat. I love your stuff, keep it up! Jacob

Anyone seen this before? Thoughts on it? For only 15 bucks it seems like a great buy. http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=2400

That was really cool. Very interesting concept, and everything went so well together. I hope you do this for real people, it will blow their minds! Great job man. Jacob

I need a condom for my brain, because I just got mind f***ed.....

I really liked how you changed the deck, I didn't see that coming. However, I couldn't hear a word you said and it just sounded like a bunch of mumbling. I wasn't a fan of the flourish, unless it was used to cover or clean up something, a simple spread would've worked just fine and would've been...

I basically agree with everyone else, good job on the sleights, but less flailing, and more milking. You moved around a bit too much and spoke a bit too fast. It seemed like they couldn't keep up at some parts, but that's just me. Also, good job on the heckler, people like that rarely come...

Hey guys, so I've been wondering this for the past few days or so: What condition of deck do you use when you go out and perform? I know using a fairly newer deck is ideal, but they tend to slide around a lot if not broken in a bit. Also, let's say you are going to perform an effect that...

That was dirty man, nice job. Jacob

You don't get caught easily with gimmicks unless you perform them poorly. Here read http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?30636-How-I-fell-in-love-with-organic-magic&highlight=fell+love+organic+magic and hopefully it'll change your mind on gimmicks. Jacob

That's pretty insane. I havent seen this particular effect, but it seems a bit familiar to something I've seen before....I'm not sure though. Pretty sweet effect though

That's some really good advice! I never thought about it that way before, but by showing up early you open many more doors to have a better show as well as expand your career, great post! One question though, what about a restaurant? How early do you think you should show up to that? Jacob

That was really sweet. The editing, the effects, everything look really nice. Good work! Jacob

I saw Wayne's lecture in Nashville, where did you see him? Anyway, I really like that you brought this up, because when the people were moving their hands away, I actually believed the metal was moving also, it was pretty crazy. I rotate through a wave of the hand, snap, and having them do it...

That's some great advice MAK, thanks! I see what you mean by undercutting myself, I'm just not used to asking for money and usually feel bad when I do, plus my step dad's input might have been skewed since he has never done this before. I never knew that magic could be charged so much, but I'm...

Well it's not really ten minutes, but it is an open mic story/ies. My school's talent show is called "Open Mic" with a fun little theme attached each time, we do about 4 a year. I've performed in about 4 of those. The effects I did are Invisible Deck (jumbo), an impossible 3 card location...

I get that, I guess I meant more along the lines of when they say it to my face. Usually it's like "I know how you did that" and try and act like a big shot in front of everyone for figuring out a magic trick. Jacob

I don't have this, but this seems as powerful as it gets with sandwich effects, up there with Search and Destroy IMO. I watched the trailer and it blew my mind, especially the bonus effect. I would either start with a regular sandwich effect and then say "Let's kick it up a notch" or something...

Great advice, I usually just ignore hecklers. Either that, or the crowd will be on my side and tell them to be quiet. However, what if someone says "I saw that" or "I think I got it." If it's a mind blowing effect, other people will usually go "How?!?". This actually happened today, I did a...

First off, I've read about 4 of these essays now and I LOVE them! Fabulous advice in a pretty condensed span, great job. Second off, I'm 18, and I'm looking to perform for some restaurants, either table hopping or entertaining people waiting in line (the wait at this certain place are fairly...
