Osterlind also has a watch effect and I think they are a few others that are ungimmicked.

I would have laughed at him if he told me to give him the cards. Tho I don't carry around a deck of cards so that point is moot. I do think it is very unprofessional and stupid to ask somebody else how much they charge. It's none of your damn business, is how much I charge.

Criss Angel also suffers from a case of Peter Pan Syndrome. He's a 40 year old man who dresses like he's still 14 and acts like it to.

If you are going to do Card magic in a mentalism routine, then you need to forget how to handle them like a magician. The cards should be nothing and you should limit yourself in how much card stuff you do.

Whats funny is that a lot of people complain about being told off. They neglect to realize the one reason that David Blaine is able to perform on the streets. HE HAS A FREAKING CAMERA CREW WITH HIM!. Think about it, if somebody came up to you and had a camera crew with them, You'd instantly...

It's not just young magicians, it's also the old guys who have been doing this for years or whatever. But you kind of neglect the fact that most magicians NEED to have some sort of ego problem. It comes with the job. Along with any other job in the entertainment industry. Actors, Singers, etc...

I think it said that you don't NEED all of that, it was just some silly way of giving him things to wear. The main problem is that it said he walks, when he just kind of vibrates toward whatever object or thing. It's not really worth the 300 bucks it's advertised for and really is kind of a...

The fact that it doesn't really walk but simply vibrates looks incredibly suspicious and the fact that he charges 300 bucks for it.

Looks OK but not worth the 300 bucks for a small pad and some clay. Also the ad copy is kind of lying, he didn't take steps he sort of vibrated toward the thing. Which doesn't really look too magical.

I think it was an OK idea. But Theory11 tends to often suffer from the idea that quantity equals quality. Which it doesn't. Card from Mouth is very old effect and as Visual artist said. It's pretty much in literally every book on card magic you can find. Card College V5 teaches the move...

I do agree that it does come off looking silly when you walk around with a deck of cards on you all the time. But if Jeff McBride can get away with walking around with a belt that is loaded with 6 pouches and a mullet. Then most of the people here can get away with carrying a deck in their...

They do a lot of Card magic 1 on 1's because card magic is easier to teach than other things. I do wish they would show some Mentalism and not with cards. I mean actual mentalisim. Predictions, Billets, etc etc.

It looks creepy and kind of silly when you approach people on the street with a deck of cards or whatever. Dai Vernon mentioned that it was creepy back in his time, and it's still creepy now. This can also be about your age. If a teenager or kid came up to me and wanted to show me some card...

I don't see the point of handing out the money. It just seems like you are feeling really guilty about something, and thus lessens the effect a bit. People are generally smarter than you think, and can tell the difference between a 1 and 20 or whatever. Plus to them it looks silly when you...

Some things in the book don't really NEED to be visually shown or explained. Such as the first Chapter on Swami's. That's pretty much something you will learn how to do after your first few rounds of practicing with it. I will say this tho, the Book while it IS good does have some things that...

Not really, Osterlind mentions that are just some people out there who are impressed by that stuff and have a need to figure things out. It's not out malice or anything, they are just curious.

Pretty much why Ant's DVD set is way better and most likely way cheaper. His way of doing it tends to be more gentler and doesn't have the safety issues either.

Sounds like you're not dealing with hecklers, but immature high school kids. You best bet is to simply not perform at High School. You see those people everyday of the week and really it just makes them jealous. Not to mention that High School is pretty much one big popularity contest.

Ant's method of doing it is a better easier on you and the person. You CAN do it with them standing and you can also do it with them sitting down a chair. He tends to also put people under in a more gentle way. Plus his whole set is actually a lot better because it teaches you how to determine...
