Ok. After looking around for different magic mediums because my hands are just oh so fun (arthritis and osteopenia SUCK at 35). I’ve determined that I can either go the route of Mentalism or find something that isn’t finger rings and coins. Seeing how I’m a TERRIBLE reader of people, I would...

Congrats brutalmike!

I believe it's "Nailed It!"

good luck to all involved! See, I CAN get in here before the deadline!

Congrats eisen_66!

VERY nice. Well done. And the ending was very Tommy Cooper-esque

I'm going to piggyback off the piggyback. This is one of the most helpful and friendliest magic forums you're going to come across. Lots of experienced minds here giving away information gold. Also, every saturday night at 7:30 PM EST, there is a contest here in the General Forums that goes...

I'm not sure if you're referring to me as per the like on my post, but let me explain where I'm coming from and why. I started magic some years ago; sometime in 2013-2014. Memory is a bit hazy. Two of the first people I ever started talking to about it were @RealityOne and @ChristopherT. In...

Good luck all! T T T T H

I'd recommend you stay off of Youtube tutorials if you want to really learn magic, especially if you have the intention of being paid for it. A lot of videos teach wrong methods and its difficult to suss out who is doing it right and who is doing it wrong.

It’s not about “fooling” and audience. That’s the wrong way of looking at it. It’s more about how entertaining you can be. In which, it absolutely depends on your presentation and character going into it. The only time you’d be in a situation where you’re more inclined to “fool” anyone would...

My daughter and I were going over our magic boxes the other day and she told me something that I’m not sure how to approach: She wants to be able to read minds. I tried sussing out if its more mental magic she was going for or mentalism. We tried a few tricks I had that operated more along...

I will second Mark Wilson's Complete Course. That book has A LOT of magic mediums you can pick and choose from and get your feet wet in trying to see what would work for you.

I'm big on routines that tell a story. Look up Rene Lavand. He can weave a story and you're just entranced, watching everything happen. If you can tell a good story in a routine, it's almost a free pass to do whatever you want.
