    Finding a "Gem"?

    Gem... Gem is excitement. Oooh.. Gem.. Gem is amazing.. Gem and the Holograms! Anywho, I think a gem is something that you really enjoy performing, something like a warm up trick.

    Teens on Masters of Illusions

    It's possible to get the loud boisterous reactions David Blaine gets. You just have to present your magic in a way that connects with the audience.

    Cutting the Aces Discovery

    Darwin Ortiz has an effect called "Blind Aces". Where you do just that. He would do it with a brand new deck and then after they shuffled and everything. He would have somebody put their hands on his eyes and then cut to all the aces.

    Performers Should Be Less Boring

    Not everybody has a webcam and not everybody wants to perform in front of a camera. I'd perform in front of a webcam, Except I don't have one and don't have a need to hear people I don't know critisize me or compare me to other guys out there. Tho if I do put up a video. There is a 99%...

    Classic Palm

    You need to get Chinese Relaxation balls to help build the dexterity and muscles in your hands and then also learn the Muscle Pass in both hands. That should give you a good CP.

    Website - Constructive Criticism

    What you could do is have some one take a few photo's of you performing and also showing the people's reactions. Then maybe have somebody film you performing, then edit it, to where it only shows a fraction of it and a lot of their reactions. Kind of like a movie trailer. Also you could...

    Teens on Masters of Illusions

    Most likely because Card and coin magic is something EVERYBODY has seen in their life. So they wanted them to come up with something original and test their creativity.

    Teens on Masters of Illusions

    Hollywood blvd has always a been a circus of nut jobs. I guess they did that to test you on your nerves or "heckler" defenses. Then again they could have just filmed it in different parts of the country and sent the video feed via satellite. Which would have worked better for them and probably...

    Getting Well For The Gig

    I usually would drink lots of Orange Juice, take a lot of Coldeeze and some lemon drops. Colds usually last a week or so for me when I don't take any of that. But after taking those when I feel I have a cold. It went from 7 to 3 days. Still sucks ass having a cold. I couldn't practice or do...

    Christian CA Fans

    I think Criss Angel constantly talking about his dads death like it was yesterday is just him using it as some thing so people can bring it up. Yet it has nothing to do with anything at all. Yes, we know your father passed away when you were 14 years old. You're 40 now. Shut up and get over it...

    Most likely fake all tho there is a site that reviews movies and is hardcore christian, it's just comedy gold.

    Supernatural

    They called Criss Angel a Douche bag like 40x. I find it comedic that a nonmagician would call the guy a Douche bag.

    Performing at a Talent Show...

    If you know some mentalisim and other magic it would be good to mix those in as well. Giving your show some variety.

    Lying Eyes?

    The reason Derren Brown says he uses psychology and NLP is so people don't run up to him and pretty much start calling him a fraud and a phony. Like all those fake mind readers and psychics. Plus it's more beleivable that a guy could use psychology to get you to do what he wants, rather than him...

    Panic Repeat

    I suggest that you don't present it by itself. Do a few really amazing tricks and don't present them as a "Look what I can do!" type thing. Try to present them has either magic or experiments. Then end the show/whatever with the effect. Maybe before you do it. Do Revolution #9 or something.

    Lying Eyes?

    Derren Brown doesn't use NLP, he might have a bit of knowledge on it and know some psychology, but he mainly uses normal mentalisim techniques and just makes it look like NLP or something else. So people won't go around calling him a psychic or a fraud.

    This Specific Mentalism Effect...

    I believe Justin calls that the "Never going to release this effect trick because I don't feel like it." effect. You could essentially accomplish the effect by using a decent psychological force of some kind. It wouldn't look and be exactly like Justin's. But it would be some where around the...

    False Deal DVD's or Books

    IE: Bottom, 2nd and center deals. I know Ben Earl briefly goes over the bottom deal and I know that Card College does too (which is where I am currently learning em from.) But are there any other sources for these besides Erdnase and Marlo's Revolutionary card technique.

    Thread with Rubberband

    You probably could use the sleight method but I doubt it would look realistic. I also doubt you want to swallow a rubber band as well. As for the Geek method. Hell no. The rubber band is way too thick and would not only damage your eye in more ways then one. It would just be stupid as hell.
