Having owned the Art of Astonishment books I would recommend them, however, they consolidated all of the works in to a series of DVD's which are full of great ideas.

Still a long way to go with your flourishes but you're getting there. Absolutely loved the snap change by moving your hand in front of it, looks like real magic.

The card twirl at 50 seconds looks great. I've not seen it before. The cards are from fatboyeatallday, ayberk.

Try the black market. You can sell almost anything there, even locks of Andrei's hair.

I can only offer one piece of advice here because it was a mistake I made when buying a DSLR. Mine was £400, which is relatively cheap and it works well except I didn't know to check whether it had auto-focusing. So I have to focus everything by hand when filming, which is difficult and awkward...

I am having this issue too. It could be something to do with the fact that millions more packages than usual are being sent this time of year. Or maybe Christmas elves turned evil and are playing poker for real money in Santa's basement with your JAQKS right now.

Sleeping with a director/producer is how they all got ahead. That is also the same reason some never made the cut.

I bought Spider Pen Pro on release and it's worked perfectly so far. It's probably not something you will use all the time so if you don't have the cash I'd probably give it a miss. I always keep mine in my jacket when I'm working because in the right moment it absolutely kills people. It is a...

Welcome to the youtube generation, where all you need is a key word to learn the secret to a lot of tricks. Really though, if it's good enough for some of the most famous magicians on the planet (most of them use an ID) then it's good enough for you.

Ovations are for shows. Prompting a standing ovation from a small group of people in a restaurant or bar is too much. They most likely came to eat/drink, you're just there to supplement that.

Ahh my thousand timer is a fond memory. She's a classic. Beautiful like a piece of art, royally amazing some might say. The girl I did it to literally fainted in a room full of people. Coin unique.

Adding to this, it's likely that the method won't be easy to repeat so don't expect to be able to do it to peoples drinks at parties or around tables at a restaurant.

No, T11 does not sell decks with black faces. Ellusionist seem to populate the market of black decks. fyi, you can use loops with almost any deck in the world as long as they're not fully white.

There's a video of Dan and Dave flourishing on an old Lee Asher video, that was my first inspiration and I've followed the cardistry movement ever since. I remember in 2001 when Dan and Dave made their first appearance in the UK and everyone at the convention was talking about the twins who can...

It boasts thicker, whiter smoke than other smoke devices out there. It does seem that VAPR is currently the best commercially available smoke device out there but there was a lot of buzz about Pure Smoke and lot's of people have had problems with that so I would wait a while before ordering VAPR.

I say from books and people, the same way you learn anything. No, it's not bad to flourish. If you want to flourish before a trick then do it.

It's true, people will love you for showing them magic and hate you for not showing them magic. Would you rather someone dislike you for an hour or let yourself be pressured in to performing when you might not want to? You need to consider whether people are just using you for your magic or...

That's because E know they won't sell many (if any) if it's more expensive. That's also why there was a huge promotion on Pure Smoke leading up to the release of VAPR. If you must, get VAPR but I would wait a little longer....

Tell them no. Say you run out of magic. Say what they had was for free and if they want more they have to give you something. Redirect their attention by asking a question about them. Tell them, maybe I'll show you another time. The worst thing to do (in my opinion) is to get roped in to being...
