Impromptu stooges is just a silly name. I personally find the use of stooges in a Close up situation kind of stupid because it's like why practice and learn if you can just have the other guy "Agree" to everything. And like you said, the guy who was the stooge may well just blab about how it was...

So you honestly believe that Bill Malone tells the exact same jokes he does for the L&L crowd, even when he is hired for actual gigs? :rolleyes:

Actually what you could do is do the 2CM thing, then Force a card (riffle or hindu or whatever.). Then control that card to the top of the deck (anyway you want.). Then show that their thought of card is the top card. Now for consistency. You pull out a pen have them sign their name on the card...

And actually the card changing color and the deck changing color is color changing deck routine. Dai Vernon had the idea and I am pretty sure all color changing decks involve the deck changing colors after the card did. Having it change back while to YOU, would seem neat. To somebody else...

Juan Tamariz's book is a completely different thing than what Corinda is talking about. His method is very easy to do and is more for remembering objects and numbers listed by people. Tamarizs is more for card magic and unless you have a half way decent knowledge of card magic. I wouldn't...

Wouldn't the idea of doing a color changing deck routine and then Chicago Opener be kind of redundant. it's like "Look the cards were blue and now they're red, then this one card turned blue.. HAZAH!"

Just head down to the local coin shop and get a few Half dollars. They're cheap and pretty decent sized for most people who are starting out.

I think it's a bit silly and dumb to carry around two decks. If you are really looking forward to using the Ultra mental Deck. Then use it by itself or during a mentalism routine (which is what it was originally meant for.). While I think 2CM and Biddle Trick are neat. They really seem like...

"You thoughts are very cloudy right now, so it's hard for me to read them." Doug Dynament has an effect where you take the whole "What am I thinking right now. LOL!" reaction some people might get and turning into a miracle. It's pretty much a mind reading thing were instead of revealing their...

Are you guys basing this off their L&L DVD's? Because I can assure you that the way they perform for the L&L: crowd and the way they perform in REAL actual bookings and gigs is most likely 100% different.

The King of Small Towns Plan for Success How to make money giving free talks. Those 3 things from Richard Webster should also help a lot as well. Tho I really think you should worry more about just getting experience performing and worry about all the business stuff later on.

I like this attitude. It's so naive and stems from having no experience. Teenagers are human who are running on full throttle with their hormones and with the fact that high school is a huge popularity contest. Teenagers get jealous of the stupidest things and will fight over the stupidest...

You're neglecting the fact that even if you aren't gambling with money or anything, Cards or anything like that can start a fight. Teenagers will generally fight over just about anything. Them not allowing cards or whatever, is essentially them preventing the fights from happening.

That's mainly because card magic is some what streamlined. The DVD's are often cheap and easy for people to beg their parents for. The other thing is that a few think it makes em look smart if they expose it on youtube due to them not having any REAL friends in real life.

I am going to tell you this now. But you are really not leaving any room for the Ultra Mental Deck.

Find some other way of controlling the card to the top. The pass while it can look amazing and all, is something that will take years and even decades to get right. Which is why a lot of guys will usually find better ways of controlling a single card.

Actually you need to forget one liners and stock lines. They are stupid and often come off forced, even from experienced guys. IE: Bill Malone. What you really need to do is just learn to let the humor happen. Respond naturally to people questions and comments, and if somebody says joke or...

Technically both were in the wrong. But being that he had previously had things taken away from him, He pretty much set himself up for it. You really should have learned from the other 2-4 times she took your stuff away. As for the other kids doing things. Well I'd hate to sound like my...

Not really a "funny" story. More of a "I acted like a smart ass and paid the price for it." type story. It's not really BS, she told you to put the coins away, you've already gotten in trouble for your other things. So it's pretty much fair game for her to give you detention. It's not the end...

You realize they aren't banning "magic" but the cards. Reason being is that they could see the cards as a form of gambling (which is what they are originally meant for.) Thus the school would then have kids gambling on their property. That's big legal no no. It will also cause fights and other...
