Always wanted the star wars deck. Good luck everyone:D

I was watching Derren brown's documentary the other day and it showed a clip where he payed for a few things with blank pieces of paper, but made the cashier think it was money. I was surprised that I haven't seen this clip before and wonder how real it is. I never really looked into the more...

What you guys think about using doves in magic nowadays?

Thanks for the help - can you help me with a few details though: 1. Bit too expensive might save up if you recommend it:). 2. I can't seem to find a store that has this (all of the ones I looked at seem to be discontinued - think the last print was 2012:(? so I would probably have to find it...

That was actually really interesting to watch, thanks. I always liked Paul Daniels work and honestly it surprised me how much I would much prefer to watch that basic trick with the story and patter than a trick that fools me but doesn't really entice me in.

Any recommendation for books that teach organic magic, or tricks that use everyday objects (don't use cards (and keep coins to a minimum)). (Mostly cause I am bored due to all the free-time (more practice at least) and I'm just interested at a part of magic I ain't really looked at yet)...

oops mb, I never read the titles:oops:

Ummmm, french drop is important? Or do we only care about cards here:D

Actually, I could just bookmark it thinking about it :)

Thanks for all the replies, if I and any of you are still active on this site in a few months (which I'm sure you will be) I might create a new thread saying how I got on. I just wondered is there anyway I can pin this thread to return to rather than go through and find it each time I want to...

(So some of my points make sense I need to highlight I mostly perform for people my own age or slightly younger; kids younger than 8-9ish sometimes struggle to follow basic instructions and I don't really have a set they can follow as of yet) Most of the ideas I've had after a short...

Basically, I was going through my repertoire after watching some lectures and I found that I had no emotional patter at all in any of my main tricks (and any trick I have used ngl). I just wanted to know what emotional things, I can try to incorporate into my tricks. I'm kinda stumped as I can...

I agree with the main points that most words could be nick picked as sexist, racist, homophobic etc. But in response to this, where a layman would not know the terminology colour change there is the odd chance someone might take offence, but then, when are you using this terminology in a...

(I know we are getting further away from the original thread), but I write my magic Instagram on the back of an old playing card (pre-trick) then do a card trick using that card which they keep as a souvenir. Can't remember the name of the trck in-particular. And I let the spectator keep that...

I don't have that in-depth explanation, but my only suggestion other than what has already been said is futher the effect with un-gimmicked items that can be inspected. Don't over-do it and add on every effect there is but adding something else to be inspected will result in the spectator less...

When I have performed, people just like signing a card. Idk whether its because it makes the trick more personal or they want to show off their signatures - but some peoples face visibly lights up. I get what your saying about spectators not having little knowledge of cards (the amount of people...

Thanks for all the replies, one last question then I think I'm finished, is there a certain type of flash paper best for it? Because I was searching around and there is thick, thin, pro, economy etc. I also have flash string, would that work? Sorry for late reply I read all the responses but...

Is their a reason its not hot? or have i literally got to recoil my hands the second I light it up? I only have some spare flash paper with bicycle backs printed on from Stick man Bob but that should do fine as I rarely perform it (don't think I have ever actually performed it)
