Ever use an okito box?

Free range or cage free magic is where it is at now. But seriously I think its in the vein of what other people, real world items from the environment that don't need to be justified.

RealityOne's advice sets a great tone for your performance. Its best to not create an atmosphere where people heckle. Confronting a heckler by trying to out heckle them can create an atmosphere of you versus them rather than a journey together. It makes a "whose the bigger alpha" scenario and...

I've heard them called a poachers pouch too.

It looks like many of us have a similar start. Right before I start performing and into the first effect I get some nerves. Once that's outta the way I am good. I try to start off with people who I think will enjoy some conversation and entertainment to make it easier to get the nerves...

I think coin magic is pretty practical because people carry coins and they are easy to carry for yourself. I know several coins across routines and they get decent reactions. Copper silver in the hands of a participant does okay too. What coin magic resources do you have? If you have some books...

I know many magicians use canned rhetoric and hack lines because they sometimes have a use but I am against it almost completely. Even popular magicians like Piff the Magic Dragon, Gazzo or Hannibal and so on use old jokes or catchphrases (especially with women) and I cringe every time they do...

Hmmm....after rereading the thread there are hints at how to do the trick but literature about it not so much. I am not a mentalist so my advice won't be more than scratching the surface but to do tricks like the one in the video only better I would look at things by Max Maven. A heavy price...

For me his presentation on the first trick seemed stalker-ish. Rather than being magical it came off for me like "I know something about your private life and you don't even know me". I would make sure to set my social media stuff to private after that encounter. His approach for the next trick...

I am sure if you looked a bit you can find tons of tricks that utilize a palm. Maybe some help on where to look would help? The book Expert Card Technique has lots of tricks that require palming. Other books like Royal Road to Card Magic is also a decent resource. The tricks aren't sorted by...

I have taped some packets together on a plastic deck when learning a new cut before and found it very advantageous. I say on a plastic deck because I can remove the tape with no damage to the cards that way later on. Before the taped packets I was dropping single cards often but after a day or...

Two of clubs Nine of hearts Eight of hearts Jack of spades.

Pretty cool to see what other people carry. I have no video but my everyday carry is; a deck of Bicycle cards with a red/blue gaff, if I have enough pockets I sometimes bring a random nicer deck, 2 sets of rubber bands on my wrist or in my pocket (one set for crazy man handcuffs and one for...

I magic around with my wifes uncle from time to time. We trade back and forth a bit and I get some good direction from him. While I am envious of his sleight of hand ability with everyday objects it's his acting that really impresses me and gives me something to work on. He can really sell a...

Here is mine, it looks like I filmed it with a potato...

Fun. I've seen your posts performing these effects in piecemeal but you have really done a great job putting them all together.

Greg Wilson talks about his script using a tree analogy. His core script is the trunk and occasionally he branches off of the script and ad libs but always returns to the trunk. Sometimes you can get really far off but try to stay on the branch and always return to the trunk. You are going to...

Happy Mothers day. Here we all are, my mom, wife, and kids! It should go without saying but I am not a balloonist, these are my first attempts! https://www.instagram.com/p/BivZz31lAwi/?taken-by=the_j_loganist_logan
