But nobody here is a normal spectator and the Threory11 people are probably more interested in flourishes than normal shuffles. As a side note, i think sometime we should have a SNC based on coin magic. It's always about cards here.

Dammit i can't enter this one cuz i know they're gonna ignore my awesome push-through and sky shuffles and focus on the flourishy show-off kinds of shuffles.

You can do a Card to.... Card Box Window Glass Computer Screen Straw Pocket Spectator's Pocket Under Spectator's Watch Eye Shoe Sock Clock Nest of Boxes Shoelace Using a simple torn corner switch, you can pretty much make the card travel anywhere in the world.

Lol, i think you should make yourself dinner AND tell her the secret. Dude, she gave birth to you and raised you. You may not really appreciate it though. Right now i have a 3 year old little sister and believe me, she's a pain the the @55. You don't know how many times i've had to stay up...

Dude, it's only your mom. She's not gonna go around telling everyone how it's done. Besides, it's not like one day you'll be doing the trick to someone and people will say "I know how you did that, your mom told me how"

Along with the things already said, you can check out the Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourish by Jerry Cestowski (man, that's a pain to type). He teaches lots of one hand cuts in that book, most of which you have never even heard of.

There are many beginner coin magic dvd's out in the market that are good if you're a visual learner. He's a brief review on the ones i have. In the Beginning There Were Coins - Jay Noblezada This is probably the most known beginner coin magic dvd. This was the one i first got. This dvd is...

No, i meant new teachers and stuff.

I think you're getting visual magic and strong magic confused. Lit is not visual. The spectator's don't get to see the magic AS it happens, they see the magic AFTER it happens. Since they can't see the match box visually turn into a card, it's not a visual piece of magic. On the other hand...

Don't they have new people there every year? Anyways, i'm going for the first time and it's gonna be great. Hope to see some of you there!

Laced, The Nestorizer, 5 and 1 Transpo, Extreme Burn, and the Retention Vanish are gems that i use almost every day. I never leave home without at least 3 of those tricks set-up.

I was taught this vanish in an old magic dvd. It was simply called "Coin Vanish" But i don't know what is it's real name. So if anyone recognizes this vansih, could you please tell what it's called? http://www.vimeo.com/4421379 Password: coinvanish Thanks!

Well, you say something like "Do you think i can put the card back together? Well actually, i'll do it the hard way, long distance!" And there you go. Thanks Ineski for the source, i'll be sure to check that out.

I once heard of an effect where a card is torn into four pieces and laid out in a matrix-like fashion on the table. Then the magician covers to of the pieces. When he lifts his hand, not only has one piece traveled across, but it has also restored with the other piece. This is done with all four...

I do it kinda at an angle with the upper left hand corner tilted at about a 135 degree angle. Not vertical, not horizontal.

I live in Connecticut. I have only heard of one person in my state with the swine flu and he lives like an hour away from where i live so i think i'll be safe. I had a friend who went to Mexico for spring break last week. She made it out just before the flu broke out. Lucky her eh?

Jay Sankey has a "Sankey's Best Magic with Everyday Objects" DVD You can also try "On the Spot" with Gregory Wilson. It's a dvd of totally impromptu magic. I HIGHLY recommend Banding Around by Russel Leeds. It's an entire dvd on revolutionary rubber band magic. Russel teaches you stuff...

Where did you learn the voodoo trick?

Clever comebacks are only useful for hecklers. When people say like "I know how you do that!" or "I saw what you did there." If people compliment you, why would you wanna make a comeback? A compliment is a GOOD thing. You don't wanna risk turning it into a bad thing with a comeback. For...

*I apologize in advance if this has been posted before.* Ok, i've been practicing the muscle pass during the past month and i'm getting rather good at it. My only problem is the unnaturalness of the hand. When i do the muscle pass, my hand is always in the claw-like position much like when i...
