I don't perform for kids, so I can't offer you any advice on that front but if you want to create a stage act I suggest the following: 1. Watch performance videos of successful stage shows. Study them and understand what makes them a success. 2. Buy a book on the subject. 3. Pay for tuition...

If I could "like" that post I would Lloyd. I was going to say it's more like lecture notes material. Seems we're on the same wavelength.

Yes! That's what I was looking for, thank you for your replies.

Before anyone says Indecent, that isn't what I'm looking for. It came out a while ago and in the trailer someone was deming it on the Vegas strip. I thought it was Lee Asher but I can't find it on his site. Effect: a joker is in a clear plastic bag at the beginning, the ziplocked bag is then...

Haunted isn't impromptu.

Don't. It's not strong enough and it's not a new idea. It is very simple and easy to do if someone spends a bit of time with a book like bobo's.

Does it get much more visual than this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg5f8szA51k With cards, Inflict by Patrick Kun is pretty visual. I also like Extreme Burn 2.0 but a lot of professional close up magicians do that now, which sucks.

This helps me understand. From what I can tell the moves are more like ways to build structures to display rather than flourishes that close up performers can use. So the fact that it's aimed towards stage makes more sense to me.

That's not what the ban reason says. I have Pure Smoke and while it's a great device in theory it doesn't live up in reality. My first one broke within 1 week and E sent me a replacement, which was great but it took 2 weeks for them to do it and I missed out on using it at important...

If people want to share ideas let them. If you don't want to share your ideas then don't contribute to this thread. It's not rocket science.

Is it just me or does anyone else think Ekaterina is a joke? Obviously I've only seen the stuff that's on the trailer but it looks crap. When compared with Genesis, Trilogy and even Papercuts it doesn't add anything to the world of cardistry. I can't help but feel like they're just trying to...

That's a very nice thought Michael but in the real world the price does matter. Look at how many billions that has been donated to charity over the years and look at how little has changed.

Merry Christmas JDEN, and to everyone else here. I hope Santa fills your stockings with some T11 goodies.

I don't take my water for granted Madman, I work hard and I pay through the nose for something I can't live without. I think they're lacking for $10 a deck, but they can be used as a tax write off as a charity donation so I'm sure people will buy them.

Maybe so, but that has no connection to "limited" cards and ways magic companies market cards/products. I'm a big supporter of huge mark ups on genuinely good effects to keep them out of reach of everyone except professional magicians, but as JDENredden pointed out, that has no relevance to...

People should always educate themselves before spending money Mat. If people knew the difference between manufacturing cost and rrp I'm sure they would think twice about buying whatever product they might be looking at. Just because we are somewhat responsible for ourselves we should not be...

Yep, I meant wouldn't Jacob. I don't condone it but I understand why people do. I'm by no means a hardcore card collector either, I like to get 1 or 2 of the new decks to have fun with but I feel like we're being wronged by magic companies. I feel sorry for people who buy a few bricks on release...

Over the last 5 years custom playing cards have had a serious boom in popularity, which is really great because we have a choice of so many beautiful decks. My issue is that companies like T11, DnD and Ellusionist are incredibly misleading when they use the term "limited". Because of the time...

Though it's nothing new it's a pretty cool article.

You've identified where you went wrong and it seems you've learnt some valuable lessons. There isn't much else that me or anyone else can add to that. Your age does have an impact, which can make it harder but not impossible. Speaking from experience, you will find that some people will take you...
