Check Jay Sankey's "Bending the Real" youtube channel. A lot of the "bends" are just pranks.

The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase. Legend has it that Vernon could recite the whole book. If you want a classic in card magic, this is it. Also I would recommend Stars of Magic by Meir Yedid. It has a lot of classic routines (not just cards), and it's definitely worth a read. Both...

I would recommend The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase for a book. It's a classic. For videos, the 1-on-1 videos from Jason England are great. They provide a great introduction to every move, and he recommends other sources. If you have any questions pm me. Also check out Steve Forty.

Wow. I am stunned. It is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had something like that. Right now I keep my cards in a duffle bag. Awesome job.

Grand Illusions is also in CA. Aaron Fisher is quite fond of Grand Illusions.

Many of the custom decks on T11 are $5 or $6. The Ghost decks costs $5. Why is that overpriced but Guardians for $5 is not?

I was there for 9+ hours and never got a single deck. You won't get much sympathy from me.

Cups and balls. No doubt, cups and balls.

Honestly, I would turn down the gig. If you are not a stage performer, how are you going to get a stage show together in just 5 days? Not saying it isn't possible, but you have almost no room for error...

Which do you want to learn more of right now, coins or cards? An Extension of Me is awesome for both cards and coins, though it is a bit more coin focused. I don't have Masterfile, but I would guess it is pretty much all cards. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

I'm just now working on scripting out my effects. Every single word will be chosen for a reason. I'm looking forward to it, though I'm not very far along yet.

Yes he does, check out this link: http://tinyurl.com/3humj4q Good luck!

When I watched it, I felt like you tried to hard to show that it was one card. It made it seem to me like it was two cards. The more convincers you used, the more convinced I was that it was two cards.

You MUST get The Paper Engine by Aaron Fisher. Incredible book. Also, The Card Magic if LePaul is a classic. Stars of Magic is another one that you need to get. PM me if you want more info.

I heard of T11 from all the arguments at Ellusionist and decided to check it out. Also, some of Jason England's downloads were recommended to me.

Ebay usually has some.

That would go over really well I'm sure :)

In all honesty, people posting threads about Criss Angel are getting annoying. Focus on YOUR magic, not his.

When you say "be yourself," which self are you talking about? This is something Steerpike always mentions. I'm not the same person with my family that I am with my friends. And my "self" changes depending on which friends I am with. "Be yourself" is not entirely accurate.

Awesome story. This reminds of one of Benji Bruce's posts. Being a professional magician is a FULL TIME JOB. It's not as if the only work you do are performances. Most of the real work is done when you aren't performing. However, it would be great if William Schultz did exist.
