    How are is it a trick deck?

    Doesn't mean that pro's don't use custom decks. Just because Jami Ian Swiss doesn't use them, doesn't mean that his word is god. It's just his opinion on them. This is why you shouldn't open with a card trick, you should open with something that is so far out in left field that by the end of...

    Making Magic Believable

    Depends on how you present yourself and if they knew you before the magic, it is going to make it hard for them to believe you are capable of doing magical things. Tho once you get them to believe, then it's pretty much easy to make them believe what you want.

    How are is it a trick deck?

    All of them. Justin Miller used to be a Restaurant magician for few years. Lee Asher used to work in Vegas and also used to do restaurant magic. Wayne Houchin also performs for Lay people all the time. Daniel Garcia most likely also performs for lay people a tons of times to as well...

    Silver Morgan Dollar Shells

    I don't think they sell Silver Dollars anymore. You MIGHT be able to get Half dollars but I am not sure on that. I do know you can get half dollars pretty cheap at most coin shops. But for Morgans they are like 50-100 bucks I think.

    Silver Morgan Dollar Shells

    Coin One and Coin Two can be done with Half dollars and I think E sells Kennedy's and also shells for the Kennedy's for like 30 bucks or so. The reason Homer Liwag uses Morgan dollars is because well.. He can afford them and the size of the coins make the routine look a bit more visual. Also...

    How are is it a trick deck?

    Justin Miller, Wayne Houchin and Daniel Garcia use Ghost and Master decks from E. I'd say those are custom decks. Lee Asher uses Jerry Nuggest and probably any other card brands he can get his hands on. The Buck twins use Nuggest and I think two other custom brands. The whole argument...

    Masters of Illusion :: Dan Sperry's Routine

    Yeah I seem to recall somebody saying that they did it too often and ended up getting a scar from the effect. I wonder how many times you could do THREAD. I know Wayne said he pretty much opens every show he does with it.

    One Way Out - Looks Stupid

    It's like how Smash lab is pretty much a crappy rip off Mythbusters... (Anybody who has seen Smash lab can attest to their stupidity.) Seriously the guy goes on to try different theory's about whatever. It's just him saying "OK, I want you to put me into a room with pissed of Cobra's and if I...

    Masters of Illusion :: Dan Sperry's Routine

    Chewing the candy isn't part of the effect and it would look silly for him to chew it, then swallow it and then have it come back in one peace. They would be like "Did he just barf that up and cause it to get put back together?" For a lay person is makes for sense for the candy not to be...

    Great Followup For Control

    Luke Jermay has the same effect in his book Coral Fang.

    Magic Books

    Id' check the library but I am lazy and don't want to have to deal with due dates. Plus I'd rather be able to take my time on the book, than have to worry about returning it and re renting it.

    Presentation / Story Teller

    I don't think you should challenge the spectators or make them lose. Unless you are doing 3 card monte or Michael Skinners Ultra Monte. Other than that, Darwin Ortiz recommends that you tell them that you have an unfair advantage or that you change the routine around to where THEY win or that...

    I wish Walmart came to the UK!

    No, No you don't wish you had a Walmart. Walmarts are like the worst place on earth to shop. 90 Jillion screaming kids and not to mention most people I see there look like they belong in a freak show or Jerry Springer or Maury Povich.

    Brian Tudor Showoff 3 - Discontinued?

    Brian Tudor has had a lot of DVD's where the teaching and quality was just bad. I think it's mainly due to his attitude toward magic and everybody. He has too many effects that are supposed to be a slap in the face of Hecklers (probably due to him thinking he will get heckled nonstop.)

    Teens on Masters of Illusions

    Saw all 3 films. This a generation where people see films like Saw, Hostel and other crappy films. If they really want to see gore fests then I suggest the good ole fashioned Faces of Death films (even tho most of those were fake.). The point is that they see David Blaine get screams and...

    Is this what magicians have to resort to?

    It's Sankey he's had a few other video clips of him doing things like that. You have to remember that he was a comedian before he was a magician and also that yeah he does tend to have a few moments where he is a nut job.

    Teens on Masters of Illusions

    Never said people shouldn't try to get different reactions. Just said that it's possible to get the TV style reactions. Tho I am assuming that depending on how they present it. It can either get people to cry (Rene Lavand). Get them to laugh (Bill Malone, David Willaimson and Gregory Wilson.)...

    Center Deal

    Well with the Fake center deal or the Multiple location deal. You could essentially have 4 or 5 people pick a card then you put each card in a different spot and simply deal a round of poker and at the end. Either you or the people end up with their selected cards.
