500 Elite Points awwww yeah, now I am trying to figure out if I should save up my points, or use them because I am not going to be one to rack up massive amounts of points because I don't but much here...

I have no idea, but I don't think it was a great idea to make the post twice, in two different sub forums, one would of sufficed.

One of the very things I would have actually hung on my wall.

I have no experience with mentalism and very little experience with magic (only about a year), however I think you may be asking the wrong question, I think you shouldn't be looking for advice. I believe you should be asking for sources, ask for what books you should read about it ect. (This is...

170, because I didn't even know about them before the holiday wheel started. I think I'm going to save them for a few cool looking 99 cent effects on the wire.

Thank you very much.

I have consistently gotten 50 elite points three nights in a row.

WHOOPS! I meant to say here then there! Also I was referring to using the concept of the trick with a different presentation, would you have a different opinion on that? EDIT: Also does the current status of the original artist (dead/alive) have an effect on this?

Very cool, however seeing those chopped cards killed me a bit.

I would suggest a throw it against a wall test, because I may or may not have experience with that *test* and the tally ho blue fanback deck, shall we say I was not in a good mood and now I am short a tally ho blue fanback case....

I'd like to find out what the general idea on using someone else's trick here is. Say I set out to learn a trick by watching it, say the Two Card Monte, and I determine how it is done and how to perform it (which I actually have with that trick) do you think that it is something I should...

TRUTH! Did I A. Miss or B. Get a free spin?

I have seen that the most common way people will do this is they will hold the deck in their dominant hand, riffle up with their thumb about half way, drop the bottom packet into their other hand, adjust and then do it. I find that to be a bit cumbersome looking, the way I've been doing it is I...

I will bet you got a miss. Did I get A. Elite Points or B. Nothing? (I hope I am doing this right.... Else I will feel like an idiot.)

First free spin (only free spins here 'cause I'm broke :P) got 50 elite points :D

What is this holiday wheel I keep hearing about. - A Theory11 Noob

I really need to work over my aversion to props and gimmicks. It feels like I am cheating (ironic, right?) but I feel like I am not showing off my skill as a magician if I use them. (Probably has to do with being very uneasy talking to people...)

I too am a teenaged magician, I am homeschooled so finding a platform to perform has been hard for me too. I have a few books that have proved immensely helpful, Royal Road is very nice, Expert Card Technique, and one that I really love The Collected Works of Alex Elmsley V1, that is an...

I saw this thread. Now I was to try doing Flicker with a half dollar...

I usually have a few tricks I'll be willing to show someone if they ask to see a trick, I will usually start with a quick two stage ACR, then move on to twisting the aces then sometimes if they really into it I will do a pick a card trick.
