Neat idea; There was a lot of unnecessary movement of both your hands and body. Just relax a bit. And the camera was at an odd angle for the effect. Don't rush the change either. After the flick let the moment sink in, and then do the cleanup. When you make it happen that fast and do the cleanup...

Some of us ran out the door while the preview video was going. I had to get in line :P

And to top it all off, the girls were handing out free decks of 2nd ed. mirrors and 3rd ed. smokes.

Where some of the misfits sold and Magic-Con? two or three of the cards in one of the decks (haven't opened to others) I got have a green ink line/smear in the top white part of the border. And at least two of the cards have little white circles on the faces, such as in the middle of a spade on...

Looks really slick. One thing to look into, if you don;t have one, is a website. A lot of people will want to see your site and read what your about, and it's almost standard to have a web address on business cards. As for the aesthetics, you nailed it.

If you mean this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRom_Zr2Cjk&feature=sub Those are not at all what the colors look like in real life. That camera is discolored my friend.

I wasn't comparing, I was giving you an example of what I was talking about. I know for a lot of people, as for myself, it's hard to take advice written on a forum without having some kind of visual to put it in perspective. And not necessarily less of a shake, but a slowed-down, smoother shake.

Again, the shake looks violent. Slow down the shake a little and just make it a smoother motion. Look at this video: http://vimeo.com/5572784 The shake is not jerk and quick, it's a soft, fluid motion. Also, don;t start any finger movement until the shake begins. Other than that, you've made...

Make sure you run the show. I'm 17, and perform at my highschool all the time. Teenagers loooove to try to get everyone to look at them, and it's never a good situation for the magician. As others have said, do effects you are comfortable with. Act calm, and just remember YOU are performing...

It was literally one of the best weekends of my life. Just as other people have said, ti was surreal to see some of he people I looked up to and learned from, just walking around completely causally. That Thursday I was just in awe at everyone and everything there. Being able to discuss what I'm...

I had the same problem, and I found a more forceful, centered flick seems to keep the deck together, where as a softer, looser flick allows the bottom card to separate. Haha yeah, my friend has been working on that and 4 times out of 5, he can actually flip the deck, but have that card...

Awesome job. You had fun, and the audience enjoyed it as well. I liked how you didn't say anything right away after the effect, you let the magic moment sink in. But as other people said, don't make it seem like you're rushing to the climax. Again, great job.

Ahahaha agreed. That would be pretty fun.

Hey everyone, My friend and I are looking for any magicians around the South Bend/Mishawaka area (if there are any out there). If you're here, or at least reasonably close enough, shoot me a pm. We'd like to set up a jam session, and also get some thoughts/footage for a blog we're starting...

Should we post 3 questions in one video, or is the idea to make three separate videos? Sorry if that seems obvious, I'm a little confused.

Agreed. (word count)

Just like people have said, work on making your doubles a little smoother. And I'd say slow down a bit more in general. Just be a little calmer, and let the moment sink in and let he audience react. It seemed like you were rushing to get to the next effect.

I've just recently gotten started in coin magic, and have been reading around. Why does it seem preferable to age the coins over cleaning or polishing them? Sorry if this seems like a ridiculous questions. Thanks.

Yeah, I understand what you mean now. The physical reveal belittles the mental reveal. The original way I had the effect was more along of the lines of a prediction style effect, in the sense that in the end my goal was to make the spectator wonder if the card they saw was ever actually in the...
