Well it's completely different for a pick pocket and a magician. One has to use a little bit of misdirection, the other has to use a lot. Plus I don't think you could do it the way Apollo does it while you are performing card or whatever else magic. "Oh BTW, what time is it?" *does the pass.*...

Eye Contact, talk to them (without mumbling), and learn to do the dirty work on the off beat. Also if they are burning your hands, simply wait a week as Malini would say.

Wait are you trying to use the ear piece for something like they fill out a form before the show and then some behind the scenes stage hand guides you toward? That's not really a Mentalism show and more like something you see those late con artist do on TV. Really if you want to do a mentalism...

He has a new DVD coming out in February called Linking Cigarettes. It used borrowed cigs or twigs or anything that are around that area like pencils,pens or whatever.

Bill Malone did the exact same effect years ago on TV and I know Darwin Ortiz has an effect that is pretty much the same thing as well. So it's not really THAT great of an effect.

You're asking the wrong bunch of people. You want to know the answer, simply just ask your friends who are not into magic.

Just spend the 10 bucks and safe yourself a hospital visit. You don't have the proper equipment or training to deal with the chemicals.

The more I see Mark post, the more I realize he is pretty much just spouting off BS to over hype the pass and thus try to sell his "new and improved" variation on the sleight. Which is pretty much going to be extremely redundant and clumsy.

The only reason people are burning your hands is because you are a boring person and a boring performer. If they found YOU and your presentation entertaining you would be able to get away with the sloppiest pass in the world because you did it in the off beat. Seriously, you must be doing...

Why would want to hand out the bills? That looks way too suspicious and silly. It's one thing to let the person look at the bill when you turn THEIR money into a 5 or a 10 or whatever. But with Extreme Burn you can just show the bills like normal and then move on.

Another way is to think of it like this. If you screw up the effect, it's not the end of the world and most people will tend to completely forget that you screwed it up, because they don't have any idea what you are doing. But like most have said, Start with the easy self working stuff and...

You can do the exact same thing with a Side Steal. Work Smarter, Not harder.

But why would you want to do it? What exactly is the reason for learning it? If you say to impress laypeople with it. Guess what, lay people don't care about how fast or good you are. They don't think like magicians, they see the bigger picture. It's just redundant to use it for a card control...

Why would you want to move 26 cards just for one card? You could the exact same thing with a Cull or a Side Steal and it is has more cover, and also looks less like you did something (if you're decent at it.)

Here's is a question. Why focus on the pass? What exactly is the purpose of using it for? To Impress people on the internet? To Impress the older guys at the magic club?

Here are a few questions. 1. Who exactly are you performing for? I know a lot of people on this board (the vast majority) perform for their friends in high school or middle school, and then wonder why people don't believe in their presentations or whatever. I am going to tell you this now. Your...

Generally speaking you don't want to put too much information on your business card. If you really want to work in different fields then leave all that stuff for your website. But for your Business card, it should generally be clutter free and maybe say something like "Bar Magician" or...

Christ man, calm down and take a few deep breathes. The effect is actually pretty good and it's great that you are able to express your opinion on it. But you need to learn to calm down and think before you act. You were critizing him on things that were completely trivial. "I don't like the...

You're missing the point. The small ACR was just a minor way of getting into the set up, you do not HAVE TO do the ACR, you can do other effects that you like and enjoy if you so feel the need. Also why are you criticizing him for the patter he used for the effect. You do know that you don't...

You could do a standard peek. It's pretty much taught in like literally every magic book on the market.
