Technically it would be a 135° angle, but yes I think that angle is ideal. At least for me.

Performance won't make someone, like you, NOT want to know the method, but a good performance will make you not think about it in the moment. Joshua Jay's "What do audiences really think" shows this. A good percentage of people like to figure out the method when watching magic. A good performer...

it might not be the strength or shape of your grip, but rather the angle you hold the packet at.

Sorry for the double post. I realized I didn't answer your question; however, Jason England already has a video on this and I'd recommend it. https://store.theory11.com/products/what-to-read-jason-england What I did when I was first starting out was purchase a Video Download on certain...

You'd be surprised how good self workers are. And for Mass Market Paperback at ~$4 and Kindle Edition at ~$8, you can't go wrong. If you learn and use even one thing, it is already worth your money. People will say self workers are a good way for you to work on your presentation and scripting...

Type Shin Lim into the search bar of YouTube and what is the third available option? "Shin Lim revealed" People are searching to know the method of how he does what he does. You said it yourself: Well if they see Shin Lim perform, then they want to know how it is done. So what are people doing...

You're listing TV views. Fool Us Shin Lims video on YouTube has over 47 million views alone. I know there are going to be some replays here, but the way YouTube works is that after a certain point it stops counting views and even subtracts views from the same IP Address or range of IP Addresses...

BTW. If you really do go, it says Dry Chicke Rub, but it is actually saucy. I know...

You'll find this trick in there under Bird's of a Feather There are a lot of cool things in the book that I'll let you find out about.

I live in the Bay Area. I don't know about any shows. I don't watch any in San Francisco. I have been to both shops. Misdirections is a nice little spot. The dude really is hit or miss. Catch him on a good day and you're good to go. Since you'll be in the area (Sunset district 9th street) I'd...

Your middle and bottom deal probably look better than my regular deal.

I don't know if I necessarily agree with your conjecture here, but I do understand your points and thought process. I may be naive, but I don't think people are that critical. With the advent David Blaine, and performers on shows such as AGT and Fool Us, I think the masses have an understanding...

I'll play devil's advocate to generate discussion. 1) According to Joshua Jay's research thing, ten percent of our audience enjoy magic because they want to solve it. Another twelve percent like not knowing how a trick is done. So if you perform something they can't look up on YouTube (or...

It's closer to a classic in terms of how the packets move. I think it's fine if it works for you. I don't like how your right hand comes to the left hand to coalesce the packets, just for you to pick back up the top half and dribble back on top. I know it's necessary for the move, but to me...

Nice looking collection you got there. Be a shame if I opened all of them, handled them for hours till they got sticky, got spectators to sign all the faces, and held them close to my body till they got a click in them...and then returned each deck to the wrong tuck case. :)

Whatever you do, don't use felt. It gets fuzzy as **** after several uses and looks worn out and used. It works if you just want a low budget material for a quick video: however, I don't recommend it for long term use such as practicing.

What is magic to me? An interesting hobby to kill time when I'm bored, whether that be reading about it's history, learning new techniques or performing. What is magic in a broader sense? Challenging peoples understanding of reality if even for a moment. What is the dictionary definition of...

Good luck. Hope it ends well.

I don't think you can order without an account. For me, the videos I have purchased are under "videos" for my account. I don't think they are downloadable. I'll double check in a bit. I think if you can produce either the invoice or show that you were charged, Theory11 will take care of you...

1) Probably because a lot of magicians get into magic because of cards, but the laymen would rather watch mentalism (or at least think they would). So in short: most magicians are jealous? What do Audiences Really Think? "This is the next question we gave to participants: Imagine a magician...
