He's a mentalist plain and simple. Even tho he says he's not. Which he also often says he's not British either.

Eh, I could care less if that guy had the skill to make Darwin Ortiz and any other top magician weep like a school girl. I think it's rather lame to try and show off your "moves" to a webcam just so people on the internet can post comments about weather or not you flashed when they hit the...

I was going by that video that he showed.

Eh, I think it was nice that he decided to go against the current and do something that wasn't a super neat new card or coin effect. The thing also with Aaron Fishers talk about the DL is that he's actually right about it. What you guys are doing is a turnover not a lift. It's pretty much...

Actually that's pretty much impossible for them to be ho-hum about my card effects.. Due to the fact that I don't live in an area that has city streets and also because I don't perform on the streets.

I am normally not one for gimmicks. I have nothing against them, it's just that if you become a guy/girl who uses them to often, it can get a bit annoying. Specially if you are somebodies house and you don't have your gaffed coins or gaffed cards or gaffed whatever. You just end up looking silly...

Mathew Dowden is an OK performer. He's got some decent effects and all but a lot of the tings he does have to be taken into context to where he is working. IE: that video was just him doing card effects on the streets and really most people are usually kind of ho-hum about card tricks. The other...

They should sort of do it like they did in the old days before the internet and before Theory11 and E or the Magic cafe. You buy the Book.

While the effect itself was good, I thought the way he talked at the speed of light was just dumb. I don't think he was super nervous due to the fact that he's performed for large audiences before on cruise ships and been on TV before. I didn't however like how he was explaining everything to...

OK my bad, I got them mixed due them being part of the same thing. Anywho, Fundamental's as a few card effects in it.

Look for " A Startling Thought Reading effect" and the other section on handling. Those are two effects. then he's got like 3 or 4 other effects after that.

I'll that response as "I haven't read the books and am just going to rant about something irrelevant."

13 Steps has a few Mentalist card effect and so does the 39 steps and PMM.

I think it looks OK, tho I never liked wallets that are that big. Specially for things like card to wallet. "Hey let me pull out my HUGE wallet, just to show your card in there." I also don't see the point of having to buy a new wallet just to do a quick bill switch. It just seems silly...

Just a thought but maybe he wants to look sloppy and unrefined. I mean there are guys out there who do things like that and still make it look like magic (Lennart Green, Johnny Thompson and possibly a few others)

Hypnotist: You're not limited to sleight of hand and the limit of what you can do is pretty much only limited by your imagination. Not to mention that you don't need any props for it. Also like William said. There are way too many freaking magicians out there. The market as almost gotten to a...

Buy a few note book's, and then write out each effect you want to learn by hand. Describe it as they are written or talked about in whatever book or DVD you got them from. Then turn off the computer and put the TV on some relaxing music and then just practice and take notes. It's what a lot...

playing cards were actually often used before Tarot cards. In fact if you know the meanings of Tarot Cards you could possibly translate that to the different meanings the Playing cards have. Thus the cards would then have a more intimate value and appeal to them, than just come guy using them to...

Forget about the effects for awhile. What you REALLY need to ask yourself is "Do I have a stage persona and a good stage presence." because if you don't. No matter how many people on this board say "Oh do this and that effect. They are great!" You WILL BOMB. Stage Magic is an entirely different...

Well a magician friend is completely different than and impromptu stooge. Simply because if he is a Magician friend who is already in on it. It's not Impromptu. And Impromptu Stooge is you letting some random guy at a bar in on what you are doing so you could do some sort of effect where he...
