He used his reputation and their faith to pull the trick. I remember and old clip of James Randi bending a spoon on TV and the news anchor just laughed at him, like "yeah, whatever."

You have to take into consideration that these people are desperate and will likely look for help in any which way they can. It's the way the human mind works. Most people in times of distress are more willing to give everything up in order to get healed. Yes, these guys suck and the other...

Ironically if the Feds were able to bust Ms. Cleo for fraud they might be able to bust all these other hacks. Or they can get em with something like tax evasion or something.

He'll most likely continue to screw people over no matter how many times James Randi or anybody else proves 100% that he is a fraud.

Make sure it's new and not been done before and it's a variation then be sure to do enough research to find out who's and then give proper credit.

Hard? No. Time consuming that you won't be able to learn in a month? Yes.

Wait you haven't even picked up anything on the subject? Seriously the few books and DVD's out there are really easy to get a hold of and are pretty cheap. Once you know how to approach a place and present yourself, THEN you can worry about your routine and tricks.

Well you need to know that if you go in with the Magician attitude they will probably laugh at you. Specially now with today's economy. You're not a magician. You're a promotional manager (which is what you should get put on the business card as well.). Also it's going to look really...

Also get some business cards and maybe learn some magic with them as well.

Get rid of Angel Zero it's more of a street magic/doing magic for friends type of effect. Learn some coin magic. Learn some Sponge magic. Sponge magic is quick and visual. not to mention really portable. Coin magic is also quick and visual. Learn any type of coins across. 3 fly or coins...

It'll be out sometime next month or so. If it wasn't coming out till September or November he wouldn't have did the teaser and demo for it yet.

I skipped Cheng's Change. It's a nice effect but too knacky for me to be able to pull off. I do however like Backlash 2 and Twilight Angels (tho I will need to order refills of that later on.) Also Big Tiny is neat, tho right now I am trying to get the hang of properly doing the Zarrow.

You could essentially do the signature removal thing for Torn if you have David Williamsons 51 cards to pocket. Also the Signature remove thing is also taught in one of Darwin Ortiz books as well.

I was looking at the picture and from what I can gather is that the flash paper adds to the magical effect of the card changing colors. From a spectators point of view that does look pretty rad. I've seen that same type of principle used in various other effects like torn and restored newspaper...

Duns Deal has them shuffle the cards at the start.

No the twisted jokers are used for the Screwed deck effect. The one I am talking about if a half card. As in its cut in half and has the 4 of clubs and wrapped in black thread or something.

Yeah looks pretty awesome, tho I spent all my cash on TA so this will have to wait.

Anyone figure out what the half 4 of clubs wrapped in black thread is for.

Peter Mcgabes Scripting Magic and Strong Magic goes over it and other ways on how to enhance and understand things in magic.

It's a pretty fast cull and for the price it's pretty damn cheap. Tho it's not something you are going to learn in a month or so. It's going to take awhile to get it to a good standard of usage.
