I'd say pretty much most of the classic basic vanishes work really well if not presented by themselves.

13 steps wasn't actually written as a BOOK, it was more or less Corindas lecture notes or thoughts just thrown together. There really is no order to the book. O'd say Get Practical mental magic first and then Fundamentals afterward.

You can't appeal to everyone and you shouldn't try. You'll just end up making it harder on yourself. Like the old saying goes. "You can't please everybody."

The problem with trying to force your stuff on people who don't want to see it is that every other table will see what you are doing and will then look at you like "What a jerk!" So if you are table hopping, there goes all your customers and clients. The same goes for Cocktail parties. You end...

Not really true, there a ton of performers out there who don't appeal to people and yet they are able to make a living. The difference between a pro and an amateur is pretty much one makes money doing it, while the other just does it as hobby.

Yes and the bad performers are the ones who try to push their performance on you. I doubt you are going to get people on your side if you keep trying to push your magic on them. They might say "yes". But it won't be a good yes. I'll bet that they'll be less impressed with your magic and will...

Ok here's my other two question's. 2. Do you know why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch? 3. What inspires you the most?

Strong magic Magic and Showmanship (cheap and easy to find book.) Maximum Entertainment

Steerpikes point is that if people aren't interested you shouldn't waste your time or theirs trying to convince them. Otherwise it will just get annoying and they will be EVEN less likely to enjoy what you are showing them. You can't force people to enjoy magic. If they don't want to see it...

I think you both just need a hug. So come on, guys. Reach out and show some love. If you guys want to have a hissy fit, you can do it through PM's.

If you could travel to any point in time and session with any magician who would it be and Why.

What if they told you about a magician who sucked and from that point on they think ALL magic sucks.

Well you'll get that with anybody, I can imagine people being annoyed at first with Dunns Deal but then they'll be like WHAT! when they see everything in order.

Simple Answer: Then don't perform for them..

I believe Wayne Houchin quoted Vernon when he said that magic has a proper context and a proper time to perform it. Sure performing on the street is a good way to get your chops and get known. But it can be annoying and just creepy to people when you go up to them and ask to perform. You have to...

The bonus and kicker is that they do all the magic. The reason for the cards to go in the box is just a simple change in direction.

Learn some effects where the magic happens in their hands. Also learn not to present what you do as a puzzle. If they try to figure out, just say "It's not meant to be figured out. It's not a puzzle. Just enjoy it for what it is."

It could also be that they are annoyed that you got them at a bad time.

It's not a hard effect, tho I do suggest you practice going over the motions of tagging people and shaking their hand or moving them from one place to another. Then perform the mind reading effect without actually tagging them, but go through the motions and just say in your mind "You've been...

I think it depends on the effect. Sam The Bellhop is a great effect. Yet I doubt you can fit the whole thing into one sentence. Also the entire effect is nothing but reveals. I think it really depends on the reveals tho. Darwin Ortiz mentioned that if you have an effect with many of them...
