It's been proven that 3 out of 5 American's make up statistics on the spot. Seriously, tho.. I've been gone for days and its always the same thing over and over again. But, I continue to monitor it because sometimes a nugget of truth or a beacon of light spews forth and I am enlightened.

Hehe.. I was totally gonna call you out on the pass thing until you did it for me. :D

Why would you touch water with an exposed electric current?

I perform for people on the street all the time. Its all about where you go to do it. If you just run up and hassle a random guy on his way to work, probably not a good idea. But if you goto the shopping district of a city on a saturday afternoon, people are very receptive. Or even better...

To me it sounds like the standard: "You punk kids and your loud music, and your t-shirts, and baggy pants and piercings! Get a haircut and get a real job!" So if the youth of yesterday and today are only chasing "cool" then the elders of Yesterday and Today are still stuffy old farts.

Couldn't be much worse than smoking.. :)

With a little thought you can do an "Out to Lunch" type thing a million different ways.

I don't think of closeup as a required amount of people. I've done a lot of closeup work at a party with about 5-10 people in attendance. Closeup is more Parlorish... you can get away with a lot more stuff due to the almost stagelike nature.

Yep, FCP is Mac only.

Every time I go to the store I end up buying at least one deck of cards. At the PX in Baghdad they currently sell Bikes for 1.50 each deck, so I typically buy 10 or so at a time. ;D

Magic Masturbation.. I like it.. lol seriously.. Nothing wrong with testing yourself by doing complicated things in front of people. You can buy a pinto to get from point a to point b, but you have a lot more fun doing it in a Ferrari.

Another thread was speaking about how they are anti-pass, etc... and my reply was that I really liked to get away with passing right in front of someones face. Today, after sitting around watching Xtreme Beginners again, I realized that you can use a card spring as a flourish and use it to...

If you're on *nix then you can use Cinerella.

The only real "routine" I've been doing lately is this: Open with Digital Dissolve... move into a few coin sleights, sometimes I do some stuff off of "Ice Coins" by Congreave then depending I'll switch and do a half dollar in bottle, or put it away and go into cards... I'll do...

There has to be something said about being able to pass right in front of a spectators eyes. It's not required,, no sleight is really "required" as you can always control a card in some fashion in order to get it where you want it. But being able to pass right in front of someones face and...

Sure, I download music. Sure, I download movies. But I PAY for them before I do it. I've downloaded software in the past that I haven't paid for. But now that I am a productive member of society and can afford the things that I want to buy, I do. Every single DVD that I purchase, I rip to...

When I'm home I usually do magic opening for a band... I do stuff on stage for about 30 mins... mentalism or parlor stuff... then I do walk around in between sets at the bar or I'll just sit in one of the booths by the bar and let people drift by and do something for them. I get paid from the...

Finger through palm. Its something that I've really wanted to do for a long time... ideas that I come up with tho are either really cheesy or just plain impossible. :)

Good call on the "teach you something" bit. That would definitely keep sticky hands away from the cards. I've used Crotch Control most of the time tho, lol... I didn't even know someone else had it too. It works for men and women, cause guys won't go grabbing at your junk and girls are too...

Which is basically what I meant when I said that you need killer social skills in order to accomplish suggestion or subliminal influence. It won't always work because different people think in different patterns. If you have the time to continually reinforce the thought or idea that you are...
