Mike Vincent, a notable card guy from the UK, recently posted this article on Facebook: http://www.artsjournal.com/lies/2011/08/enough-with-the-card-tricks/ It's about a woman who frequents the magic castle and has decided that she is sick of card tricks. Oh man! This made my blood boil a...

This seems like some sort of Bank Night routine but as everyone can see your description kinda lacks in specificity. Jay Sankey teaches a Russian roulette type routine with envelopes on Murphy's Free Trick Friday that you could check out. Joshua Jay teaches one of the simplest versions possible...

The best advice I can give is to follow those who already make a living from it. Hopefully you are to the point where magic gets in the way of your "real" job to the point where you have to quit it. My favorite resources that I have seen recently were some of the Murphy's lectures in order of...

I love watching Zach's channel!

Wowwy! I might have to check that out as well, thanks David!

My personal favorites that haven't been named yet are; Rob Anderson Steven Bridges Bosco Mind Chris Balinger

He has taught various Paul Harris effects he teaches Hansen Chein's Touch and a few other effects without permission as far as I can tell.

The easiest way to get points is to buy stuff. You wont get a ton of points that way but you are guaranteed points. The second easiest would be to stick around for the winter contests. You can spin a wheel and win points by pure chance. You wont be guaranteed points but you can get some here...

Disturb Reality and Mismag are pretty awful when it comes to unethical exposure. I think Brian Brushwood, Jay Sankey and Rich Ferguson are better places to go to learn magic. They all have great You Tube channels.

Hey y'all I'm always looking for great magic videos online. Who are some of the more popular magicians out there on Youtube? Who do you watch? Who do you subscribe to? (Please stay away from those who reveal magic unethically)

If you are looking for big bang for your buck I'd check out the Daniel Garcia projects. There's a lot of card magic on there and it costs the same as a DVD like Decoy

What area of card magic do you like most? Do you like gambling moves? Then Foundations is a great place to start. Do you like flourishing? Then check out the free flourishes on the Wire Do you like David Blaine style card tricks, without a table that you can perform with most decks? I think your...

I'm pretty sure you don't need a lighter to perform counterfeit. That said, I don't think that you can go wrong with most Theory11 products. It all depends on what you want to do. My Favorites are these: Pressure Dresscode French Kiss Detatch Vertigo RE4RM Masterfile Garcia's Projects Color...

I just purchased Control by Wayne Houchin and loved it, on the DVD he teaches a couple and references a ton of different methods for stopping your heart. I know that yogis and fakirs have been famous for holding their breath as well. Are there resources for holding your breath out there? Are...

It's not as easy as you might think. Jack Carpenter talks about how he still cant get rid of the sound consistently.

I agree, you want to get rid of the hesitation and pauses between legitimate and false deals. The issue of sound is something that pops up for almost everyone as well and it can be terribly difficult to make your deals sound the same.

If you are looking for magic routines for table stuff you might check out Jason England's Murphy's lecture. He teaches Vernon's triumph, a ten card poker deal and a couple other nice effects. Foundations is great for the moves but if you are looking for routines I would go elsewhere.

I have followed Paul Draper’s magic for quite some time. I have seen him perform live on multiple occasions and have talked with him about magic. On this lecture you get to see him in a completely candid light. He is full of knowledge and in performance you can see that he is holding back. On...

The tough part with some routines is that once a spectator is on to a small part of the routine you are left very vulnerable. If your brother is aware of the "thing" then you either need to sit down with him getting feedback on how you could hold it better or practice in private and show him the...

I completely agree, I was not impressed by Madison's approach to the deal.
