    Laser Deal

    Try doing the laser deal onto a pile of cards. Sometimes deal cards for real and other times pretend to. If the audience cannot tell the difference then you are doing it right.

    Practicing in the front of mirror is wrong

    I made a video on the subject. Imo practice should be broken up into 3 parts: 1. Practice individual technique. This means in front of a mirror, camera, from diff angles, etc. So that you can get the individual moves down. 2. Practice the full routine. This includes scripting and practicing...

    Magical Community?

    Id suggest the magic cafe but unless you have thick skin and can handle haters and trolls, it is a pretty toxic environment. The T11 forum IMO (not biased at all) are the best online to hang out and talk magic. Otherwise I'd suggest looking for magic clubs in your area that you can go to and...

    Help with a science project on distraction and attention

    This trick is too small for a BIG STAGE?

    Yeah I think so. The spectator would react to it which would be all the audience would need. The actual vanish and production of the ring isn’t visually important. The thing is you need to make it clear that is what happened. Playing off the “magician in trouble” approach sounds good in this...

    This trick is too small for a BIG STAGE?

    If you can make the ring appearing somewhere else play big then it will be fine. Have seen magicians in 5,000 seat arenas make this effect work. It is all about the presentation. If you just vanish it then it reappears somewhere else it won’t work. If you play with the audience member and tie it...
