You're not really going to get much out of it just by glancing at it. I'd suggest you read the book, then simply learn the stack and go through the effects that you think you might like. Then stick with those. The book is huge and to actually learn everything in it.. is going to take a long long...

I would suggest first learning all the production with rubber fake doves. because getting the actual bird is going to take A HELLUVA a lot money and time. With the rubber ones you won't have to spend a ton of money on taking care of them and etc. I think there is a book that a few websites...

ICP - Miracles.

nope, it uses a regular deck.

Practice should be fun and not a chore. I tend to spend 30 min learning a set of effects I have written down, then I take a break and go other stuff for a few hours, then come back rinse and repeat.

The problem with that is that pretty much everybody knows you did some form of sleight of hand when you do a fancy false cut. They may not know EXACTLY what you did, but they do KNOW that you did SOMETHING. It doesn't mean they aren't impressed, just that at that point you pretty much cannot...

Reading a book a dozen times over isn't going to help you develop your character or style. The only way you are going to be able to actually develop your character is to simply perform and learn from life.

Are you walking about general flourishing that isn't the XCM stuff or whatever? That can be mixed decently with most card magic, as long as you use moderation. Don't over do it and do too many whatever cuts and then act like what you did was "magic". But if you are talking about the XCM and...

Are you going to try to do Hypnosis for actual gigs or just on your friends? If it's for actual gigs, then I'd suggest actually saving up and spending money on being properly trained in person. Otherwise if you screw up and somebody decides to sue you and your only defense is "I learned it...

Probably around 20 or so in a box that I have used and reused over the years and just put them in the closet and take them out when I need to.

I think Dan Sperry said that if you perform it too often you can get a kind of rug burn on your neck. Which is why I don't think the effect was meant to be done a lot. It's like a one off thing.

Dude, stop trying to twist my words around. Again, I said that they weren't insanely talented. Some of them are very talented, and some of them are just byproducts of a good producer.

Never said they didn't have ANY talent. Just that they weren't "Insanely Talented" like Wallmot or whatever mentioned.

I don't think many pop singers are "Insanely talented.". Sure, they have talent and are good singers. But they're not godly and there ARE better singers out there than the ones we can name. They just have good producers and song writers. And if we are going to name ones that have no talent...

Take a vacation from magic. Go do other things and recharge your batteries for awhile. After awhile of doing that, then come back to whatever it is you were doing, and you should have a better appreciation of magic.

I just put card powder on a newly opened deck, break em in and them use them, after about a month or so, I'll put them in the closet for awhile and circulate whatever cards I have that way. They usually end up feeling pretty much like a new deck of cards and really if they get dirty or whatever...

Have you done most of the things from your book shelf. The reason I mentioned the books is because in the long run they'll not only help you a lot more than a single trick DVD can, but they'll last you a long time. Thus saving you money in the long run. The Art of Astonishment series has a...

Why are buying all those different decks? I understand that they look "Cool" but really what most non magicians will see is just some fancy back designed cards. Hell, I'm pretty sure even if you show them to a magician he'll see the same exact thing. Save yourself the money and just either buy a...

What's wrong with just introducing yourself without any props or magic related things on you. Seriously it seems like a lot of people here need to learn that there is a proper time and place for everything. Get to know someone first and then maybe later on in the friendship start showing...

The same could be said for you too.
