So if these are only made for the Artifice cards, then what about the people who use mandolin backs or regular bikes? Are they just ignored or something.

How long before the USPCC decides to can the production because it screws with their back design or the basic design of playing cards? This is essentially what caused a lot of card gimmicks to get canned by them.

So this would be there 3rd Gaff system? I think the first was Army of 52 with Justin Miller, then after that was Ultra-Gaff with Wayne Houchin and Daniel Garcia. Personally, I have nothing against gaffs/gimmicks. I don't like to carry them on me, just because I prefer to have my pockets...

Have an opening line and rehearse the hell out of it. Then make sure your material is also rehearsed the hell out of as well. (though when you start performing, you will most likely end up being awful to mediocre.. This is good, because as you continue to perform. Your nerves will start to...

I'm not arguing with you. I was just saying that he should find the right palm for him.

Whatever floats your boat. You could actually do the same routine with a Vernon or Erdnase, OTP, Side Steal palm, Double Undercut Palm, Berg Palm, etc etc.

Or you can learn the Erdnase Top Palm or The Vernon Top Palm. Though, Vernon has gone on record to say that the Erdnase one is his favorite.

People are going to figure out how you did something sooner or later. No matter how hard you try, you simply cannot fool/entertain EVERYBODY that is an impossible goal. As for the other things.. Most things in magic require SOME sort of set up. You're just going to deal with it. I would also...

Learn attention control and audience management skills, and just about anything can be done surrounded.

This depends on what type of show you are doing. Obviously, if you are doing a strolling set than it's going to be incredibly difficult to record yourself performing. But, if you are doing a big stage set for 250 people (which seems like way too many people for somebody with your experience and...

"The show isn't for two months, and I have not yet accepted pay."

Michael Ammar's DVD set pretty much teaches the entire Vernon routine, plus a ton of other different variations on the act as well.

"Would you like to go to the home coming with me?" There, your problem is solved. You've already done the first step and doing something corny and have her sort of attention. Now just simply ask her like a normal person.

Treat it like your actual thumb and just ignore it, then simply put your hand in your pocket casually and gesture normally with your hand.

High School jerks are completely different than drunks or CEO jerks. Most kids in high school can be dicks and immature towards each other, simply due to them all going through puberty at the time. Thus just about everybody is trying to get into a popularity contest. If he sees this guy...

I know what you are saying, but in reality it does not work that way for High School. He sees his friends and other students 5 days a week, 4 hours a week (sometimes more.). So him constantly performing at school, is just going to be setting himself up for a massive headache. I suggested that he...

Completely different context. You cannot gain experience by constantly performing for the same people all the time. Also, when Lance Burton mentioned that phrase he was talking about doing as many "free" gigs as you can. IE: performing for different clients/groups all the time. Not...

Simple solution. Do not perform at school. Yes, I know it's hard to do. But think about this way. You see those people 5 days a week, for maybe around 5 hours a day. So they are given every chance to heckle and bother you. So your best bet is to simply not perform for them...ever. If you...

Stick with your magic for awhile and develop those performance skills. The one thing about Cold Reading is that it's not something you can just learn from a DVD or book, you have to actually go out and constantly use it on "randoms" till you've gained enough experience with it. Being...

Here is a bit advice, and ignore people telling you what brand of magic or entertainment is in or out. The one thing though is that unless you have a reputation, MOST 4/5 star hotels will not hire you. Now I do not know what the circumstances are in your country, but I would suggest you...
