    mentalism-think on a card

    I know a few ways how to do it. But I will take those methods to my grave (also because I doubt that the original poster would understand the psychology that makes them work.) But yeah. The idea of filming yourself and only shown the correct few instances has been on skype as well. I think...

    mentalism-think on a card

    Honestly, it's not a magic secret. Anybody who has good enough logical thinking and common sense can easily come up with the correct solution for something like this. The method that David Blaine used and the method that Dynamo used may be the same or different. The main point is that there is...

    Restaurant Magic

    It may be different in Mexico. But in the states it's illegal and bad business. You can get contacts through other means that don't include you showing up to a hotel conference you were not invited to. That is trespassing and is grounds to get your ass thrown in jail and also black listed from...

    Help??

    Joshua Jay has a similar effect to that but the card doesn't look THAT weird.

    Restaurant Magic

    The other problem with Benji Bruce was that for a guy who supposedly made "big bucks". His tactics were bad (Trespassing on private property to hand out business cards in an event you weren't invited to.), and his video's looked awful (which was a very odd thing for a guy who kept rambling about...

    Restaurant Magic

    One thing I will say is this. BEFORE you even think about approaching a place, check out their reviews on yelp. If the place is getting trashed, then you should avoid it like the plaque. Because unless your name happens to be Gordon Ramsey you will not be able to do much at the place and will be...

    To any members of the Magic Castle

    You would get better results if you just went straight to the Magic Castle.

    Restaurant Magic

    Live at the Jailhouse is pretty much said to be the best DVD on restaurant magic. It's got guys like Paul Green, Dan Fleshmen and few of the other top restaurant workers out there. Is as a lot of good advice, but they don't go into a lot detail on a few others things. Personally, I wouldn't...

    Presentation vs. the actual effect

    By Forces unseen is a good book, but I think most people/magicians are entertained more by the knuckle busting effects in it. On a personal level, I can understand the need to try to constantly learn knuckle busting routines. My only main concern with them is that when I try to perform them, I...

    An ideal repertoire

    Depends on what you want to achieve. if you are doing things just for friends and family, then it's OK to do quick tricks here and there, that are different than each other. After all they are your friends and family and it would be silly to think that they are going to fully listen to your...

    the one handed pass

    I could have sworn I saw that in Expert at the Card table. I know David Regal has a few one handed passes, and probably a ton of other card guys too. But I think the basic idea is in Expert at the Card table, in the shifts section.

    Lance Burton Is Cheesy

    Well it does if you're performing night after night in Las Vegas. She would probably hate to see a comedian tour, because they do the exact same thing. Not to mention bands that tour, and so fourth and so on.

    What is "YOUR" favorite effect to perform

    Twilight Angels if it's for one person. Brainwave or Thought of card in Pocket/wallet.

    I am still waiting for Craig Petty to go through his Kevin Parker challenge.

    Magic Piracy Stopped - A day to celebrate!

    Your best bet is to ignore them and move on with your life. Sure they are stealing effects from people, but as of right now they have no impact on your life at all.

    How often do you open a deck of cards?

    I try to use them to the point of no return, then put them away with a silica gel packet and just come back to them for everyday practice and performance when I don't want to worry about bending, losing or destroying a card for whatever reason.

    Where to sell/give away magic?

    I can appreciate people who take the time to learn how to do XCM and all those high flying cuts. The main problem that has is when they try to title it "magic" or use it in a routine and act like the persons card/cards wasn't controlled to the top via those 5 or 9 cuts they gave the deck. To...

    Two More Effects & 'Let's Face It' Performance

    Lets face looked similar to a standard bill switch. I didn't like how awkward the handling was to it and with the fact that you completely covered the bill a ton of times. Pretty much looks extremely suspicious. There are way better bill changes out there. Specially ones that don't look as...

    How do I register on The Magic Cafe?

    I seem to recall hearing that Richard Osterlind left site as well, because he got into an argument with somebody and the mods deleted the other person's posts, but left his. Which just made him look like a loon. I've also seen Harry Lorane nonstop try to sell his books on there. Which can be a...

    First Effect (Let's Face It) Up & Ready!

    Watched video and didn't seem like anything new to me. The 100 Dollar Bill Change does that, as well as Extreme Burn, I think also Pat Page had a routine that did that too. The only difference is that they didn't have a promo trailer that was nothing but random cuts.
