Coins across with just Silver coins or Coins across with different colored coins (A Chinese, Centavo, English penny and a Kennedy.) This is something I have been thinking about. I know a lot of guys just do it with silver coins. But I kind of figured that if you used different coins, it...

Generally it's usually said to have been that one ACR with a double backer. Tho as Vernon said "Houdini wasn't a magician, he made his career out of escaping things." so there could possibly be a ton of other things that fooled him. But most well known one was the ACR with the double backer.

The effect itself is taught on a ton of books and DVD's. You don't really need to buy anything besides a double backer, If you have that and know how to do a simple DL and a tilt. Then you already know the routine.

The Bottom deal isn't a sleight that you'll learn in like a week or so. It should take you about the same time as it does for a decent Second Deal. Which is supposedly 6 months to a year.

Pretty much if you aren't getting paid to do it.. You're free to stop anytime you want.

Looks like it's going to be a DVD with a crap ton of different effects and also that teaches theory in magic.

Card College is a bit easier to understand in it's teaching and is written better. Plus it goes over just about EVERY card sleight out there. I think it was written in like 1997 or so. So it's obviously written in a more understandable way and the effects are pretty up to date.

It's possible that he changed his mind.

Work on not making the thumb stick out when doing the fist.

I think they can't find it because you're not making them look at your crotch and sounding like a little kid when you perform. If you do.. Then yeah.. You kind of deserve to have people ruin your effects.

Just go up and introduce yourself like you would to any other person. "Hi, my name (insert name here.)." etc etc.

Joshua Jay has one called the Vegas Visit. It uses gaffs but it looks extremely magical.

It will just give them the pain of a static shock.

I had the idea to do something like that with Blizzard or John Lovicks I Dream of mind reading. Only after they've cleared their thoughts. All the cards but one still has a face.

Performing a better effect for the guy is stupid. You don't want to get into a battle of wits with them because no matter how much you try to prove him wrong. It will just ruin the show and make you look like a dick. The best thing to do is to simply ignore them and let the audience or other...

I think it depends on the situation. I know a lot of the LL videos have performances in the studio with the same exact audience every time. Which is fine because I know that it would be silly to see Bill Malone or Daryl try to walk around and perform street magic. And as well that there things...

No he wasn't. He most likely only put those card tricks in the book because the publisher told him that a book simply on card sleights wouldn't sell too well. And at the time of the book. It pretty much barely sold well at all. It wasn't tell decades after he died, that it became a staple in...

Learn to read the whole topic. He already said that the bank told him they don't have any half dollars. As I told the other guy. Learn to read the whole topic.. Anyways, Coin Shops collect and sell coins. That's where I got my halves. Just walk in and ask them for Kennedy's and they...

You can check most coin shops, also E sells a pack of 3 Half dollars for like 7 bucks.

The method only works if you're at Burger King,McDonald, jack in the box or any other burger joint. Otherwise if you were just walking around producing burgers it would be silly and rather stupid. Also Jay Sankey has a method for producing Ice whenever he wants. It's also not that practical...
