Oh crap, that sucks man :( Hopefully someone here can help you with the prop. Is there a support number or email you can use to contact the developer?

I've been fooled repeatedly with Michael O'Brien's Switcheroo. That would be my choice for a product you can buy, but he does teach a similar method for switching decks in Timey-Wimey that requires something we all have at home.

At the very outset of the trick, I have no idea what you are trying to do or even what the trick is, which is not good. Yes, it's important in magic that the spectator doesn't know what's going to happen but this just plain confusing. And confusion is not magic. It becomes clear after the first...

Congratulations Josh!!

I totally get that. The first time I performed with it I was nervous and couldn't get a large enough drag for the smoke to be effective.

Awesome stuff man! I love Jessica so I think it's great you got to perform for her and I'm not at all jealous (eye twitch). If I may offer some constructive criticism, you kinda rushed the ending a little bit with the smoke. A bit of a delay goes a long way with the misdirection. Overall I think...

Not sure...doesn't ring any bells...

Please post the name once you find it. I'm not at home and it's really bugging me that I can't remember.

It's a trick but I can't remember under what section of the book it's in. Look for tricks where you go to your pocket or the spectators pocket. Key word in the patter is you're going to try and "match" their card.

There's a trick from The Royal Road that I dress up as a demonstration of Daredevils powers. I explain how his sense of touch is so heightened that he can read ink off of a newspaper and that I've been working on this type of ability with playing cards. I then have the deck shuffled and a card...

I am not familiar with it but it sounds impressive. Also, try not and give away too much about the effect. The exposure rules are pretty strict. I've been dinged a couple times with that. If you know the name of the effect (or if David does, because he is omniscient) let me know!

That is my favorite Gambler vs Magician effect of all time! I bought the DVD JUST for that one trick!

I have two stripper decks. One I haven't opened but the other one is fantastic and I can highly recommend them. I got mine from the Magic warehouse but any dealer should have what you're looking for. Consider getting Daryl's DVD on Stripper decks as well because he teaches you how to use the...

It's advertised as chemical free and completely safe so I would not worry.

Here's another thread where you can get some books for a foundation in mentalism. There's some great things on theory 11 as well. Look up Spidey.

If you're a beginner and are just looking to practice then booking gigs are not something you want to be doing. You could always do tricks for people you don't know at parties or ask some people in a bar if they would like to see something. You sort of have to look and gauge people to see if...

Hey I got it after he recommended it to me as well! I'm sure he's getting money from this somehow lol

Not sure if this has already been recommended to you but get a copy of Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. Everything you need for a good and textured show is in that book. You can find it pretty cheap. Try Thriftbooks.com.
