    Clips, embossing and questions

    As well as location, the kind of clientele probably has something to do with it. It's not very often that it happens but I've been left stunned by their amazement of my classic clip a few times. it's like when you spring a deck and someone hasn't seen it before or only seen it in films and they...

    Clips, embossing and questions

    In my opinion you shouldn't get a Porper to protect your cards. Originally I bought mine to protect my cards but it doesn't really protect them any more than being in your pocket (in most cases) but having a Porper clip get's reactions. I got mine about a year ago and when I pull a deck out in...

    David Blaine Red white lions

    Read the single paragraph and you'll find out won't you.They've obviously been printed in other colours and only a select few will know if they're planning on releasing them so there's really no point asking that question here.

    David Blaine Red white lions

    My thoughts are that we are spoilt for choice this Christmas. Magic companies need to chill the f out on cool releases in these hard economic times.

    Fair enough, I can see how you come across as charming. We obviously disagree and clearly your results show my opinion is most likely the minority. My comments are never meant to "shoot people down". You asked for my opinion and I gave it with the intention of giving you feedback from one more...

    First attempt at a Flourishing Video

    Bit dark but not all of us can afford pro lighting, the style was great though. Flourishes weren't smooth and one bit looked sped up but I still enjoyed it.

    Photo Finish

    I called 1 of your previous performances patronising and I also complimented you on your last video, which was a nice coin routine. So no, I do not call you patronising all the time but yes, that is how you come across to me in general. I'm not trying to speak on behalf of a spectator, you...

    It's decent but you're saying you don't use sleight of hand when you're using sleight of hand....spectators aren't idiots. I find the patter patronising.

    Creative takes on overdone effects.

    There wasn't any "flaws", it's just that cameras don't look away. It's was a pretty perfect performance, Dynamo appeared on Children In Need last weekend and that was poorly executed.

    What decks have you been using lately?

    Can't take my hands off green artifice. The design screams mystery and magic to me. I've had a few random people comment on how good they look.

    what are some good do as i do card effects

    That one by Criss is awesome, I don't know how it's done because he puts his card down first. A great do as I do trick is C3 by Paul Wilson but you all follow a spectator rather than the magician.

    Tips for 'windows'?

    My suggestion is to eat more. I have skinny "pianist" hands so I have pretty big windows. Tilting your hand only goes so far, in some situations it people will still see the coin(s) because not everyone is the same height. That being said, if you perform with confidence and flow well you're not...

    I'm not sure what you mean by "stays on the spool" but I had to get a pack of 8 rolls of 100% untreated cotton off ebay that came from India. The threads I tried from UK stores not only failed to work well but they also hurt. Based on that experience I think mercerized/glazed/gassed does make a...

    Magic as a Career

    It is very possible to be rich as a magician but it requires a lot of hard work. Paul Daniels presented a masterclass on it years ago and also sold a 12 module pdf series, in that series he tells a story of a woman he knows that makes £50,000 (approx $120,000) per year by performing only at the...

    For those who get gigs...

    I'm with Rick on this one but I like Benji's style. I always try to answer my "magic" phone since someone is taking time out of their day to talk to me about having me at their event. I do a mixture of what has been said, getting all the details in an email is my preferred choice because (as...
