Craig, though I agree with you, your question is wasted here. Concentrate on what you do and do it well, don't try to deter others from what they want to do. As for "magic for the internet", all of Shin Lim's releases?

It means various things, including selling tutorials of original moves, generating revenue by YouTube videos (of cardistry), being hired for adverts (see Dan and Daves English Laundry, Toshiba and Smokin' Aces appearances), being sponsored by companies as an "artist". They are some of the...

Since they don't take up much space carry one in your pocket and whenever a spectator says "I can do that" or "can I try?" say yes please do but then say, "I'll put you on the beginners deck" and go to hand them the miniature deck. This is an old gag and gets an audience laughing.

I'm not really sure what determines an intermediate flourish but go here and fill your boots, loads of great moves for free. http://www.kardistry.com/category/tutorial/

In short, no it's not good enough. Keep practicing.

It's taught in the secret forum but no one knows how to access it.

Adding to Christopher's suggestion, you can also send used decks to the third world and disaster zones via aid packages put together by charity shops or well knowns organisations such as the red cross.

That's not true for everyone. I perform for A list celebrities and royalty, I don't get nervous but I used to.

Depends what country you reside in.

Everything in that video is pretty basic sleight of hand. Buy a deck of Jerry's Nuggets and they will be even easier to do.

He developed a habit while travelling with Biz and is currently in rehab. We're slowly getting him off the European confectionary.

Fish eye + dubstep = instant classic

Thanks, that's all I was missing for full enlightenment.

With regards to making people care, it's a lot like making a girl like you. Be very casual, fun and if they don't seem interested then move on to other people who are clearly appreciate you more. Magic is 50% trick and 50% personality/performance, maybe even less trick than that.

It is a rare privilege to be entertained by a magician, if spectators prioritise a phone call it's my opinion that the magician should politely walk away and maybe return later. I rarely perform for people who say "can you show me something quickly" because we're not entertainers that should be...

You don't contact Joey, Joey contacts you.

I found out what it is. Some boxes contain a deck of Jerry's Nuggets.

All I see are a few speculations, ones that would be terribly disappointing. I would start a new thread but I don't want to get fined like you guys.

No, a magician does not need to flourish. A good magician will know one or two flourishes though so that when someone questions them about it, which does happen at gigs occasionally, especially the "can you do the dynamo shuffle?" question, you should be prepared to do something.

There's a lot of talk that has nothing to do with my question about the mystery box. I am very upset about this. You are all fined 250 elite points.
