Agreed. Patter has always been a *****. It makes my ears cringe when I can tell when watching a magician perform that he has said the same lines a thousand times and the "story" that supposedly happened to someone he knew, isn't even interesting anyway. I hate it. The stereotypical patter that...

Agreed. the vast majority of videos are made to gain rep, and we shouldn't be aimed for that. We need to learn to be creative and innovative, good performers. Making a look-what-I-can-do video isn't helping anyone and isn't advancing our art. especially when people are mostly just copying dan...

Metamorphosis! if you can build the box in time...

so is change haha ;)

welcome to the forums...?

like, something that isn't possible or plausible. comes from smoking opium.

If you use ACR as your opener, and don't mind having people sign your cards, have them sign it as it makes them more invested in the trick just a tip

create your own trick, bud! think of what how the move gives you an advantage in a situation, use it to create something magical. Combine with a few other simple sleights, and BAM! new trick :) kevin

I agree- cardistry does have a lot more to do with showing off cards and collecting, or so it seems (I'm no hardcore cardist). kevin

would it matter though? a drawing of a picture... is that copyright infringement?

I'm from Sacramento, California. One of my friends who swims with me for UCSB is a transfer student from Melbourne. She went to Monash? I don't know... No problem bud! I hope to make it to Australia someday! kevin

yo where in australia are you from?
