In a Garret Thomas penguin lecture he goes over his thoughts on using the top change. He talks about his body posture and a couple of ways he does the move, the why's and when's etc. While my top change isn't where I want it yet I have found his advice to help quite a bit. Someoen have another...

Karl has a 8 dollar Penguin Live lecture where he goes over his shuffle decent enough. https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S18351

I've been lowkey watching this thread, biting my nails now....things are certainly getting interesting!! I was thinking the box was a series of effects rather than one big one. Couple of guesses incoming, but hopefully with the new pics someone knowledgable will know for sure. I was wondering...

If you are performing street magic then you are interupting people...but interuptions are not necessarily bad. This just means you have to respect peoples time as you go fishing for some people with a spare few minutes, so get to the point quickly! In addition to what Scodischarge said, let...

It sounds like you need a magic consultant, perhaps they could hire a magician with specific experience to help with this? I mean you could get some advice here on items to buy or routines for Merlyn to perform and stuff but there is a huge gap there between the information you will get and...

If you are just trying these out then some of the 8 dollar lectures could give you some insight to a persons teaching. If you like thier style then maybe check out their other stuff that usually goes into greater detail. http://www.penguinmagic.com/magician/sal-piacente I have his 8 dollar...

Do you have any coin resources currently that you are using? Are you just looking for any coin routines or stuff specifically using those coins? Curtis Kam is a pretty decent source for all things coins. I like his CSB routines and most of his stuff in general. "Silverado" and "Palms of Steel"...

Kind of hard to tell what suggestions to give you without knowing more about your skills and or current show. Any responses may be a bit of shots in the dark using generalizations that may or may not apply to you due to this lack of knowledge. But generally....you do not have a lot of time to...

I've been revisiting some older stuff lately instead of buying new stuff. For videos or recorded lectures its been the Palms of Steel series, some Curtis Kam stuff has my attention at the moment. Kianoa Harbottles last couple lectures I keep coming back to as well. A book that has kept me busy...

I found that when I was looking at the mirror I was watching my hands in the mirror when it was the wrong time to focus on my hands for the audience. I mean it is a great tool to practice with when learning angles but its limited when practicing for fuller performances. I think film is superior...

I was in a similar situation but started a few years later in my life than you. Certainly you are not too old to get back into and perform some fun magic. Where to start can be daunting. Gabriel Z's post has a great link, also check out Vanishing Inc.'s free book download, its a collection of...

Generally you should learn moves with both hands, if you are too asymmetrical it will show and the audience may start to get ahead of you at times. If you want your palm to look good it should look as natural as possible so that means probably training your off hand so there is no fishy moves...
