I haven't seen a lot of Canadian magicians, but I was quite impressed with Derek Selinger (http://derekselinger.com/). I like some of Shawn Farquhar's work (http://www.magichampion.com/) and he seems like a great guy. I hear this guy is really good too. But that was his mom that said so...

Fantastic Pete! It is great to make sure you talk to the entire table, however, some times you have people who are just not interested and that needs to be respected. Judging by the reactions it was not your magic that was the issue, but a general disinterest. It is always good to explore new...

Also look at joining a local magic club. Often times they will have a library for members to use.

Hey Beltrem, Honestly the best place to start also happens to be the most affordable. The Library. It will have a spectacular variety (of both books and dvds) to begin with. Read everything you can find-even the stuff for younger kids. Consume it all. So much free solid material there. You...

I really enjoy the reactions from using this idea. Oz Pearlman has a really nice idea on his Penguin Lecture on corporate magic. Based on the alphabet. You could draw a stick man holding a card (say 8 of spades) and once you add the heat the reveal card changed to their card (say 3 of clubs)...

heh magic names are funny, but in a world of exposure I can see their value. How about the potato control?

What aspect of performance are you looking at improving? I'm not aware of many DVD's.

Actually you could use a sharpie too. Sharpie comes off with alcohol or foam hand sanitizer.

Heh, one that I love is a simple version of card warp by Tyler Wilson in his book. It's called scarred warp and it involves ripping a hole in the cover card during card warp. It's something my brain just doesn't process. I was totally fooled and for that reason I won't buy the book.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you were entertained. :)

Great question. Are you left handed? If not, then I would suggest what you mentioned - pick a hand and train yourself to do everything that way. Typically material taught considers the cards to be held in the left hand and dealt with the right hand. If you hold the deck in your left hand and...

It was such an engaging launch.http://www.whatistheory11.com

Thanks Lyle. Mea culpa. This is valuable information for anyone looking to buy this out of country.

Interesting. Thanks for the input. So am I understanding correctly that only the cheapest shipping option has to deal with this? Would the next option avoid this? (USPS Priority Mail International - $47.05 (as opposed to $33.78))

It was awful (though I would have expected more because of the weight). It was an extra $46.69. From the little I understand, companies can arrange a shipping option to include this factor. You may extra shipping initially, but overall you save. I could be mistaken though. It always takes some...

Received. Only had a chance to look through it briefly. Not sure if I want to open everything up. It's actually much nicer than I anticipated. Very pleased so far aside from the brokerage fee I received. :-( T11 really should look into inclusive shipping options for this. Ouch.

Jason that was a fantastic presentation. Well done. Nicely introduced, executed, and presented. I especially noticed your timing/pacing when speaking. We can all learn much about performance from watching quality presentations like that.

You can get tyvek in the form of envelopes at staples. I just cut those up to make slips. As far as bulk goes, it is used in construction, so could likely be purchased by the roll at a hardware store. However, that may likely have printing on one side.

You could also just tell them to look up and then throat jab. ... Or take Lyle's advice.
