Hokey? Only in the hands of a hokey performer ;) It really does depend on the artist with the cards in their hands. They may not take you seriously when they first see you with a deck. Change their minds by the end of your performance and you will befine. Effects... I don't think...

Well, Look at it this way. How much have you practice this move? Maybe they are seeing something they shouldn't be seeing. Keenan

Some thoughts I was thinking during class today... Real Magic can be created with many different props... Coins, Cards, nothing, a pencil, a rubber band, a leaf, etc etc etc. The prop that I see magicians saying can not be used to create a real magical feel, is the deck of playing cards...

Worked for me =) Thanks, Keenan

Inspirational=) Also, very true. Don't worry about nerves. Don't worry about messing up. It happens to ALL of us. EVERYONE messes up, sooner or later. It will come with experience, so go out and perform. Keenan

Imagine not having a computer. Imagine not having a phone. Imagine that the mail didn't get to your house in two days. Imagine if you didn't have a tv, a radio, a cell phone, etc. Imagine if you had to learn everything from a "master" and you were his apprentice. Imagine if you didn't have a...

Great utility move for the Strazbourg Walts :) Thanks Chris, I've been using my own little switch, but this seems to work a bit better. Keenan

The blame is on magicians that don't perform magic as an art. Look at "MindFreak" Criss Angel. Than look at the things we consider art. Dance, can be one of them. Criss Angel and Dance... There is a huge difference. You don't look at Angels magic and say, "wow that is art." His magic is just...

I have to say... I don't usually add effects to my routine... But wow. I can't not perform this effect. I fooled MYSELF performing this effect. It looks exactly as shown and exactly as described in the video. The deck trades positions with the kings, in the back pocket. A GREAT opener...

Yes, yes you do. :) I have read it... about 3 times now, and I still havn't gotten everything out of this book. I have spoken to Mr. Ortiz... Wow. Is the only word I can describe it as. If you can, pick up Absolute Magic, by Mr. Derren Brown. An AMAZING read. I bought mine for 100$...

I completely agree. But, it is not completely lost. There are still many many people trying to keep that old age of magic around, that classiness, that true magical feel to their magic. People like Armando Lucero, Paul Vagil, you could also say Copperfield, for someone who most people will...

Great pictures, My favorites are the third one, first row and the second one, second row. Keenan

It depends on what you are trying to show yourself as. If you want to show yourself as more of a magical performer, I wouldn't reccomend doing any six packet/flashy cuts or the such. If you want to show yourself as a guy/girl who can do some cool stuff with a deck of cards, I might...

THIS, is the quote that hit me the hardest. Thank you for sharing this Curtis, and I have to say again that I am very happy to see you around again. A questions I have for you, Curtis, is if you think that since magic has changed since then, if it is a good thing or a bad thing. Thanks...

The pulse stop dates back very very far. A simple version of the effect is taught in many books. Luke Jermay has a pulse stop where he stops his pulse, and someone elses pulse. Keenan

Tell them you will show them something better, and move on. They will not remember. Trust me. Keenan

Great tips, Here are some of mine... Don't touch your hair or face before or during you are handling the deck. Your hair and face contain grease which will start to wear your cards very quickly. After working with coins, wash your hands or use hand sanatizer before you touch your deck...

If you are not completley confident that you can perform a move, neatly and with the correct timing, speed, etc. Don't perform it. Practice it until it is to the point where you don't flash and gain confidence with the move. Do it while watching tv, reading, etc. Keenan

My name = Keenan (Gibson)

Sean Sean Sean... When will you learn? Exposure ruins everything. Geez. I mean, how many people have you ever performed for that have looked at exposure videos and make them? Probably just a few out of hundreds to thousands. They are taking us over. Duh dun dunnn.... ;)...
