When I perform it after an ace has been reversed I turn back to the deck to reveal the value of their card, then I do a color change revealing the ace, then the selection is revealed in the center of the aces. I enjoy this presentation because it builds the drama. The way I present it, after the...

This really should be posted in the cardistry section anyways.

Yeah, that's what I meant Craig. Sometimes an effect like this can be worked into an existing set. Where I'm not sure about their budget that seemed like a way to add a powerful effect without adding too much to build. I'm reminded of a production of "Cats" I once saw. They used their existing...

Yeah, I think it sounds like a really fun idea. My guess is if your going to ask her elaborately you kinda know she's gonna say yes already right? I think it sounds like fun. I loved figuring out creative ways to ask girls to dances, totally cool dude!

Absolutley! When we answer these questions we can then look at our own character. If I want to be card shark what kind of things do I need to do and say so that my audience leaves saying "Fred the magician is a really great card shark". If I want to be a rockstar magician what kind of effects do...

I think UNLV offers a degree in Casino managment. That's Lee Asher's degree. Mac King made his own conglomerate degree and I believe he actually can say he has a degree in magic.

Yeah that castle bit sounds pretty cool Craig. It seems like it would be a good way to get right into the world of "Pippin" When I used to consult for theaters I had a few questions regarding "Pippin". With make-up and masks in theater it gives a lot of opportunity to do transportation type...

What inspired me when making this post was a conversation with Paul Draper about a magic effect I had been working on. He asked me what my character was in one sentence. It took me by surprise but it made me realize that if I can't define my character how can I really be marketable. I think...

Nice, I like that they gather slowly. The presentation needs more energy. The begining seemed to drag just a bit, the more it drags the less direct it becomes. I find myself doubting the queens are in the origional spots because of the time that elapsed from when we saw the faces and you buried...

That's pretty slick, I really liked that! I'm not sure why the camera cut but it looks like a very solid effect :)

The moves look fine it just looks very rushed. The magic will come off stronger if there is a reason it happens. To escape from handcuffs is cool, to escape from handcuffs in order to avoid being impaled by spikes is a dramatic piece of magic. A good piece of music ebs and flows, it might speed...

You can do a diagonal palm shift with a whole bunch of cards :)

That's a really classy cartoon, nice and simple color changes too. The rose was a great surprise. Sweet dude, I love magic that really communicates an emotion :)
