My idea for a reason is just me talking about seeing David Copperfield do it with a baseball card when I was a kid. Then just doing the phases while explaining what I saw him do.

Well I say this all down to what you can afford. If you are able to buy the custom stuff then go with Schoolcraft or lassen. If you can't, then from what I have read is that Johnson shells are pretty much the best mass produced ones on the market.

I don't know if this true, but doesn't also setting it up in front of them kind of defeat the purpose of the effect? I always believed that Out of This World is something where they SHOULDN'T know or see you set it up at all. Otherwise it ruins the effect. Which is I why said that using a simple...

I actually don't think it would take longer to film a a routine that takes like 3 to 4 min. It wasn't just the sound quality that sucked. It was pretty much the fact that you rushed the routine. Seriously, WHY would you rush this? Watch clips of Larry Jennings do it and see that he doesn't rush...

Wayne Houchin doesn't really perform on youtube. He's put up live video performances from his DVD's on youtube. But that's not a youtube performance..

I have a question.. Where exactly did you learn the routine? Because I know if you got it from Larry Jennings book (which I 100% doubt), you would have at least used his patter (which pretty much works with it.) The same can be said for any other person's version of the routine. In fact, The...

I am actually laughing at the idea of being considered one of the best on youtube. I mean seriously you are just ruining the phone of magic. It was never meant to be about watching your hands. Normally the ones I think are good who are pro's or actually very skilled amateurs are guys that...

So you think you are the best on youtube just because you don't edit your stuff? Seriously, dude... Most of the people on youtube besides a select few who are actually pro's..Pretty much suck major amounts of ass.

You know, you don't need to get Schoolcrafts C/S. You could do the same effect with a Johnson or some other decently priced one.

Just buy Royal Road to Card magic or Card College or Magic: The Complete Course or Mark Wilson's Complete Course in magic. Either one of those books should get you on the right path and should also be pretty cheap and easy to get.. Besides Card College.

Well yeah. I think the idea of being able to do the set up in front of them and making it "impromptu" is good. Just that I am pretty sure anybody who sees you do the set up, can pretty much look back on it and figure it out. If you do a deck switch after doing some non card trick and then bring...

I was sitting here watching House and thinking about Dunns Deal and I pretty much tweaked the effect so instead of having those "wrong cards" you get the deck set up for the regular version of Out of this World. Also if they get suspicious, you can give the deck whatever false shuffle you want...

Too much fiddling around and really.. get a better mic. Also you need to SLOW DOWN. This effect can do wonders if you take your time with it and don't rush the entire thing.

They can simply wash it off with a wet paper towel.

Either get Mark Wilson's Complete Course in magic or Joshua Jay's : Magic The Complete Course. Both can be found on Amazon for a pretty cheap price and pretty much anything in those books can be done "On The Streets."

Joshua Jay talked about this and pretty much said that Criss Angel tries too hard is often ruining that trust that most people have with magicians. He said that he USED to hear "Can he REALLY do that!?" "Is he REALLY that good?" etc etc. Now all he hears is people (lay people) telling him how...

Nah the one I have is the old paper back edition. I found it at Boarders. I'll probably pick this up at the end of the month when I get the chance.

I was thinking about Dunns Deal and it I think you could rework the effect just a tad for all the cards to be in perfect red/black order. All you would have to do is tweak the handling just a tiny bit.

I don't have the book, but I recall somebody saying it was either a hidden gem or something.

Yeah I saw this at the book store and was thinking about getting it when I was looking for Bobo and Erdnase. I might pick this up at the end of the month, even tho I have been doing magic for like a year and a half. It sounds great that he teaches Out of This World, because that has been...
