    How do I become a real performer?

    Magicians guilt is tough, I suffer from it myself too! I’m sure some pros will weigh in soon but your concern is addressed in Jeff McBride’s book; The Show Doctor. One of his fixes sounds simple but it’s the crux of the issue…and it’s just to perform. The more you perform the less those thoughts...

    Grateful Dead Deck

    The Court Cards are all designed different and custom, the number cards are highly stylized with colorful pips. Meaning cards like 6 of diamonds have 6 and a diamond pip in the indices and the card face has six stylized diamonds. Hope that makes sense. It’s a nice deck to look at.

    Hypnosis, Magic and Ethics

    It’s not that I don’t believe, it is on the fringe of medical science with minimal support in helping weight loss or depression etc. It’s in the realm of guided meditation which has similar results medically in those examples. I’m just not a fan, and if it’s consensual I don’t see a problem with...

    Hypnosis, Magic and Ethics

    I think it’s fine as long as the performer asks for consent and the participants are aware of the scope of possibilities within the performance. That being said I’ve never been hypnotized even though I have participated in more than one occasion. In one ”group experiment” from a practitioner...

    Just starting magic

    Practice in front of a camera. A phones camera is fine, it doesn’t need to be an amazing camera. Practice what you are going to say as well not just the moves. Perform often, you will learn faster. If you are buying gaffs most work with Bicycle decks. Many people prefer them because they are...

    Just starting magic

    You’ll have fun with the things on your list for sure. At the start of your journey people often buy lots of tricks or gimmicks, partly because they are exploring what their style is and partly because they have issues differentiating what things are. People often end up with a drawer or two...

    What impromptu tricks can I lead into if I have a deck with one face up Card

    They could find the reversed cards mate or the reversed card could impossibly turn out to be their card. An already reversed card is a nice setup for some versions of triumph. So my suggestions are “mystery card” or “triumph”…of course without knowing the tricks that came before it’s a bit of...
