Yeah, the more you break it down and simplify it the less daunting it becomes and the more likely you are to push to learn more.

So it's something that if you're a performer, is in some way relevant to you. Complex maneuvers for card mechanic demonstrations or sleights, learning that mnemonica stack from the book that penguin just delivered to your door, the list goes on. Though may you're on here and you want to play the...

Hugard too, perhaps?

Unless you’re in the one word situation. “Wilson”. While I’m sure you’d eventually get to the complete course in magic... it’d take some deep googling I would think.

If you could only say one word to help a beginning magician, what would it be? Fulves.

Some people including 90% of a certain Café that has bashed every release of his for the most part? Fun little add on to that. Saw a Magician trashing Madison there. Checked out their material and Angle Zero + repocket was in their routine which was from Madison’s second notes?

So using the logic of that quote, I need to start an unambitious card routine? Actually I really like that. Stripper deck or pinky break at the selected card, card goes into deck, you fail to reveal it 3 times, give up, ask them if they’d give it a look to see if it was their card after...

Or an Instagram photo of a chef’s knife stabbed through the king of diamonds and most of the deck with “IM F###ING DONE” and a picture of a passport “Going on a trip, don’t care where”. According to an email sent to Madisonist card purchasers “Madison isn’t doing well and we can’t disclose...

Elmsley count 3 fly Bad dating advice.

And @ChristopherT I say that because he describes the gambling incident and there are inconsistencies with every other time he has told it. I also said unlikely, but it does make the whole mannerisms of “I am Daniel Madison”, monochrome, harsh lighting, etc. that was a consistent throughout...

A giftcard to a magic site that has just quite not enough to buy what you've been on the fence about buying.

Grabby spectators. I don’t go and try and play your guitar while you’re doing a show, so please don’t immediately reach for my deck of cards. (I like clean ending tricks for this reason.) As for my own frustrations, I’m switching hands as I learned how to double lift, count etc in my right hand...

So I got a free copy of Madison's Kill The Architect e-book and there is a very interesting excerpt just from the intro: "What I believe to be the most interesting factor in my self-qualified position, is that all of these morals where acquired during what became a twenty-year long performance...

Your best bet would be either a Men's formal apparel store (such as Men's Warehouse) and check out their pocket squares and handkerchiefs if you want a probably, what, an 8-12 momme silk? Or scouring the internet, most I could think of or pull up I know are on the rather sheer side. I also found...

It may have been worded more articulately by the seasoned pros above me, but I personally come up with things based on every day things and objects I encounter. I did some walking around and had an iced coffee that had “7 of Hearts” on it (TY barista who didn’t care). When I found an opportunity...

Copping, lapping and sleeving. I went with things that I felt expanded past just magic and saw practical usage. Copping for its use in various loads. Lapping as it’s a quick and effective way to get rid of something while tabled. Finally sleeving because of how prolific of a concept it would...

Madison's The Bottom Deal isn't better or worse than Jason England's Bottom Deal Lesson. I say that as they both have two very different approaches. I would say that you definitely learn as much regarding subtleties, nuances (finger and hand exercises, angles, playing cards of preference, so on...

Emphasis on the do not make a main focus part. In my post's fake little conversation, I just kind of mention it in passing when talking about myself or what i'm doing if we're on the phone etc. Intrigue is brought up and they'll probably want to see you do a magic trick. They did mention that...

So as it was in arm's reach, page 201 is the classic force in my copy. When explaining on the torn and restored transpo video, he uses the phrase "Where is the dog?" and an exaggeration of the gesture to demonstrate it. Gotta admit that made me chuckle. Clearly intentional.

Ah isn't that the Pomeranian Steal from Vol. 1 of Harry Wolf's works?
