No he's saying that the writer made it sound like your performance sucked.

I get them involved in em and do more than just selection effects. I do agree that card tricks have done to death, but so has coin magic. Mind reading and any other type of magic we can go on naming. All of this stuff has been around for at least 100 years.

Well that was worded wrong. If some one was to ask to me to show them something, I would do coin magic or a mind reading effect with newspaper or a book they had lying around. It's not a chore to me. I have always been interested in other things besides card magic.

Maybe the guy was new and didn't realize that you don't show magic to people when they are eating. As for him doing the same stuff other guys over again. That can happen in magic and many other entertainment forms. I am sure she will snap out of it sooner or later.

Yeah the first book should last you a few months. Then when you are done with that one, move on to Book 2 and then so fourth and so on.

Actually I'll add to the card college thought. Royal Road is great and is really cheap ( I think around like 10 bucks tops.) But with Card College you pretty much get much more detail on the sleights and just about everything is updated. Due to the fact that it was written at around 97 I...

I'm not going to try convince you of anything, because that would get us nowhere. I do other things that are from tagged that don't require a book as well. I also do some minor coin magic if I had to. Etc etc.

The Book itself is great. I myself didn't like the DVD's because R. Paul Wilson seemed kind of bored and so did his guests. I mean, I understand the stuff he was performing was probably way bellow the normal stuff he's shown them at the time.

It's a simple book test from Tagged. I would agree that being able to perform whatever you want on the fly would make somebody a better performer.

Some simple mind reading stuff.

I could, but that wouldn't achieve anything. I do see what you mean. The other point is that all these top guys good by simply performing card magic over the years. It's the ONLY way to get better.

That's just lame and funny at the same time. I guess they thought your card was so awesome they just had to use it. Tho I don't see what the big deal is about business cards. I mean most of them look pretty plain. Name, e-mail. Website. Maybe a picture or a special logo. But other than that...

The reason I bring up stories is because no matter how you sugar coat it. When you are doing something other than saying what you are doing "I take this and put that there." you are telling a story. Giving the objects character and perhaps a personality. Now that doesn't mean people can't have...

Eh, in all honesty that's most likely the reason WHY people get interested in magic. For the "Look what I can do." aspect. They just change their thought process as they get older. I still say that telling them to come up with mystical stories to tell their friends how they learned it from a...

Anyways, back on topic. Rico Suave. The problem with him telling kids to come up with stories for their magic is that most of them will be hard to swallow. In all honesty, if you were in high school or if somebody you knew. Came up to you and tried to present their magic with some story how...

So you hate yourself too? Because you are also a magician.

Which is why I told them if they are tired of all these "boring" card effects. Then use the knowledge they have and come up with something of their own. Honestly it goes back to the story I told. If you want to make a change, you gotta start with yourself.
