    What are some youtube channels that teach how to make gimmicks?

    I edited the above post to blank out exposure website names. I'm closing this thread because it is asking for YouTube exposure channels. Friends don't let friends learn from YouTube.

    Resources for Mentalism

    So I went back and read some of the routines (especially the ones that I had marked as liking). The methods are standard, but the application of the methods are very unique and the presentations are wonderful. It does a good job of what I was trying to do with my examples by bringing the...

    Resources for Mentalism

    My recollection is that Prism has a lot of good plots with context. The methods are not particularly original and are involving using standard magic and mentalism methods. There is a lot of work with cards, but that is frequently the case with Max Maven. What do you classify as a miracle...

    Resources for Mentalism

    The key is imagination to provide context. In my above description, the catch is that it uses a deck of cards and could be deconstructed as a card trick (although it would still be a mystery how I could know the card that a spectator choose from a shuffled deck that I never touched). I could...

    Resources for Mentalism

    There always is a catch, unless you have real psychic powers. The key is whether the catch is apparent to the audience. The first problem is that as mentalists, we want to learn to be real mind readers. We can’t. It is just an illusion. The key is to view that illusion from the audience’s...

    Resources for Mentalism

    There is a list in Fundamentals. Also, check our Craig Browning's Introduction to Mentalism (its free!). Another cheap book is Karl Fulves' Self Working Mentalism (it really isn't self working, but that is for another thread). There is a ton of stuff in the Jinx (free on Ask Alexander if you...

    Audio devices.

    I've found one of them is good enough for an average size room and if you link two of them together, you can do much larger rooms.

    Audio devices.

    https://empowersound.com/amazing-amp-formerly-happie-amp.html I think that @RickEverhart has one of these. Everything you need for $299. If you get something else, you will need to get wireless microphones, etc. Something like this ...

    There isn't. For now, it is a do it yourself idea.

    Is there a way to retain the top 10 or 20 cards of the deck while giving it to the spectator to cut?

    Give out packets to everyone in the audience to shuffle. Keep a packet for yourself to demonstrate an overhand shuffle. Take all the packets back from the audience and proceed with the effect with a thoroughly shuffled deck. Page 7 of Royal Road would be helpful. As for having them cut, Mark...
