I never took the time to learn mentalism. Simply put it's because I enjoy a good mentalist and love being entertained. Stick to Dee's advice, can't go wrong with advice from a master!!!! J,

I agree, if your effects fly with your friends you are ready for the real world! I personally have 3 sets of 4 effects. Depending on the spectators I may show 1 set or all 3. Also have more then you expect to show, that way your spectators will think you are a magical machine lol. J

Some excellent advice in this thread! Also, shooting a video of yourself is a great way to see what your spectators will see, and more importantly what they will hear. I know a few magicians that still get nervous when they perform ( which is normal for some) and every other word is um and ah...

Hey bro, Congrats!

What's your favorite gaffed card or gaffed deck effect? I would have to say mine is Regeneration. And no, not because I gaff them for theory11 lol, but because it has all the elements of surprise and it's so fair! The restoration phase really makes one feel that anything is possible!!!! Jeremy

I tend to go over the effect over and over again until muscle memory sets in. I then go over the patter. Then I practice the effect with patter until I don't even need to think about what I am saying or doing. My magi friends ask me why I waste all my time scripting over and over again. My...

Looks close to the method of a trick that the name has escaped me. The effect I am thinking about uses a rope through solid object like a pole or street sign? J

Just tried the black ones and it worked 100%. Why didn't I think of that? Also I submitted my torn and restorn salami idea to the wire last week. How long does it usually take to get something like that approved?

I cut through 8 sets of headphones and still I am having a hard time to restore them. I think it might be because I am using red tape and not blue tape.

Goes to show us that an "effect" over 100 years old still plays well if presented right.

Get your hands on as much of Chris Kenner's works as you can!

I had the honour of seeing Tamariz perform an effect using Mnemonica at a CAM festival a few years ago. It floored an entire room full of magicians to the point where nobody was clapping afterwards. We all just sat there looking back and forth at eachother in complete shock. One of my all time...

I like face up selections as it gives the spectator a look at the entire deck. With youtube videos out there many spectators think you are using duplicate cards. This way validates that you are not.

Dai Vernon rarely had a card signed, rather had a card named and then taken out of the deck by the spectator. I have done my ACR hundreds of times and the reactions are the same whether I have the card signed or not. Just my two cents. Jeremy

Gimmicks give the feeling of something even more amazing then can be done with sleight of hand. Don't get me wrong, even though I gaff many gimmicks for new releases, I still am a sleight of hand junky. As long as we incorporate sleights into our sets to better our magic, gimmicks for the most...

Ya ,but can the dog be signed :)

I love how even a magician like myself can be fooled into thinking there is a method to doing this. I love that feeling!!!

What's that you did starting at 35 seconds? Real smooth.
