I'll look into that David Stone book, thanks. I also do have Mark Wilson's complete course in magic, I am doing his bill to lemon effect for my talent show in January. I haven't really delved into too much with other types of magic, but I'm trying to get into spongeballs a bit just to branch...

Yes thats the whole plan, and they approached me asking me to do it, so they are willing to promote me however they can. Today I did a few color changes, a triumph routine, and crazy man's handcuffs. But with a bigger flow of people it will probably very; I would do biddle trick, recon, Doc...

Yeah, thanks guys, I understand why it wasnt very active, thanks for the support. I gave the manager a little bio of me (upon his request) that he is going to make copies of and send to other schools (the dippin dots is closet to mine, but it represents other schools in my discrtict) so...

Alright guys I'm back from my gig. ( I went to christmas party afterwards.) And......no one showed up. It was a total flop. It could just be that it was like 30 degrees out and no one wanted ice cream. There was a family with a mom, dad, and about 4 year old daughter. I did three effects for...

No problem. You can always have your camera man be at a higher angle. Its your magic, be in control of the final product :)

I've been doing only cards for 2 in a half years and I've gotten along pretty well :D, so I agree with you.

Reverhart, Thank you for the encouragement. I am very much so a people person, so interacting won't be a problem :D. I like to adjust my effects to fit my spectators' personalities so they can better relate. Sadly, I only have card effects (crippler, I know) well actually I have 3 rubber...

Hey guys, I have my first gig tonight at my local Dippin Dots. I'm working from 6-8 and my only pay is tips, so there was no negotiating pay. I'm a bit nervous, but I'm used to peforming for small crowds so I feel good about that. I plan on just doing some of my favorite impromptu effects...

The angle you were performing at seemed a bit awkward. You dont normally peform with your hands way below your waist if your standing up. It kinda made both effects dwindle a bit. The inversion was nice, polish your cardini (PM me if you need help.) The queens effect, like the others said, does...

Yeah Ive seen that before, its pretty amazing. I wouldnt really use it because it doesnt fit my style I guess, but its a great adaptation to the rub-a-dub

The Avenue by Dorian Rhodell from Dan and Dave is an awesome DVD with good visual, impromptu magic. Three effects require a bit "extra" but its easy to carry and you most likely already have one so it can still be considered impromptu. Finders Keepers has a slight set up but it KILLS so you...

That makes much more sense, thank you.

I dont quite understand this method, you hold the deck up higher? :confused: Awesome advice Mike, thanks. This will go into consideration. I need to get mine a bit smoother and this looks like it will help. Personally, I use the one taught in "Marlo Without Tears" where you pull out the...

This sounds really cool, liven the card magic forum up again, I'm down for it.

Is this effect available anywhere else besides the TA set? I'm interested in it.

Looks good man! Can't wait to see the final product

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay, there are many great minds here (William Draven for example) who offer great advice and insight on magic, and you would do well to read pretty much all of their threads. Have a good time here! Your boy, Fez

Great book, and some really amazing effects. It even has a piece of rope magic in there

I love this question, which is what prompted me to buy the Advocate (which I still need to perfect...). Although I dont fully place my magic and practice under this category, its nice to think about it in that way to possibly come up with something that seems more like legit magic. If you do...

I don't doubt that there is a plethera of knowledge throughout the whole set. The material on the other two, although genius, do not intirigue me as much. Mentalism facinates me, and although I'm not much of a mentalist, having some mentalism effects in my arsenal would be awesome, especially...
