    Performing with fancy moves...

    Im asking for a flip minio for my birthday, so hopefully i get it then and we can film. Yeah, I tried to say that in my first post, but I guess it wasnt obvious haha. RD: There are not a lot of magicians in Franklin,Tennessee (small town.) It's pretty much me and him, and neither of us...

    Why Hofzinser Ain't Around

    It was well exectued, but the presentation bored me a bit, to be honest. The monotonic voice just didnt get me into the effect, and I realize its hard to establish a connection over the computer, but next time act a little more....excited, if you will....when you perform this again. Just words...

    Performing with fancy moves...

    Good points, haha yeah that happened to me in class the other day, we had a free day so i pulled out cards and mallory's like "do the ace one!" haha. Anyway, your right about your cuts having purpose, most of them lead to a production of some sort. But I wasnt aiming my comments directly...

    Performing with fancy moves...

    Touche, and no they havent, but I believe that to be for two reasons: 1. It is from another magicians standpoint. (sub-points) a. I can most likely appreciate the flourish more than a layman, I know how hard they are and the time it takes, and vice versa. b. Because I know the effect and...

    Hummingbird card

    But you can make the card/object go all the way around you with the product in question. Wouldnt those not allow that without you getting tangled up?

    Performing with fancy moves...

    Exactly, you give them a feeling that they just expericenced the impossible. The smiles I see on people's faces while I'm performing gives me the best feeling, I gave them an experience that they cannot explain but as simply incredible. It makes all the hours of practicing worth it. Love this...

    I thought recieving tips cheapend the experience for the spectator? or is that just for street magic that you are not getting paid for? Fez

    KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

    I liked it, I think the first transpo could be improved in this way: You place the "seven" into the box, and say "let's go back to that ten" and do a pass or cut and look through the deck for the ten. You obviously can't find it, but you come across the seven again. THEN you say "wait...the...

    Split Spade Lions or Mirrors?

    Split spades are amazing! I have three of each color and the first deck is still lasting since last christmas. I have only held mirrors once, and they feel really nice and the design is very elegant, but split spades get my vote. arent mirrors sold out anyway?

    Split Decision (yes another one)

    Haha dang, its hard to choose, (if only we could combine them....hmmm.....) I have an invisible deck and love it, but it can be a hassle carrying around two decks (invisible and regular.) The gimmick is easy to carry around right? thats what ive heard at least

    Split Decision (yes another one)

    I really enjoy aarons stuff, and I dont have any of d+m's material, but this looks incredible. I would say I like visual (gimmie) and practial. Like I enjoy effects where stuff is justified either as a given or with little explaination, I hate for the audience to be confused as to whats going...

    Magic in classroom ! Help !

    symphony has some good non card material-three effects acutally. so do the Daniel Garcia projects. Coin magic is a good route, I dont own any coin material, but plenty of other people on here do and would be happy to help im sure. EDIT: X-finger is really good too, all you need is a pen and...

    Split Decision (yes another one)

    So I am comfortable with most of the material I have now, (the most part being the parts I will actually use from the DVDs/books.) And I am allowed to buy one more thing for a while. Im debating between the Advocate and The Paper Engine. For those of you wondering if it's still availiable, I...

    Why I don't perform card to wallet anymore.

    Great idea, then you are ready for Angle Zero. Perfect set up.

    Amazing battle any card trick!!! Open Voting

    Ryan got my vote, good job. You knew what you were saying and there was *almost* no uneccassary movements. aceking-too much snapping, make sure you have all the gestures and patter down as well as the slights in the effect. Also try to make the reveal a bit more dramatic, try to build up more...

    Hummingbird card

    Hummingbird card

    I searched the forums already and couldnt find anything on this, so my apologizes up front if there is one already. I saw this http://www.magicwhiz.com/humming-bird-card-trick.html and wondered if it is worth the money or practial enough? I think it would be good as a stage effect along...
