Good luck to all involved

If it was just pros doing either their own material or common basics, I'd be relatively ok with it. I mean, you can go to a library and check out a magic book for free, and those books are written by someone who is in the know. So it's fine. But the reality is that YouTube is an open...

You could do an Oil and Water routine with them--er, alcohol and water

Funny you mention this. I actually bought the same deck a couple weeks ago for the Bayme Birthday SNC. But what you did with the decks theme. That's some brilliant work.

The flourishes, in my experience, make people really nervous. They will equate your flourishes to 'card cheat' and either put a lot of uneccesary attention on you at the card table. Or you won't be allowed to deal. Obviously, this will vary between any circle of friends and card tables...

Nah. It's more believable that he took them to court for some reason or another.

I've tried to give Chris Ramsay a chance. Watched a few of his videos; I can't get onboard. Between the petty and mean spirited approach to his 'bad magic' videos and this thing. If magic tutorials in YouTube were, you know, any good and were error free. You know, the type of quality that...

Good luck to all involved!

Will do. I have some footage done already, but I'm planning on filming the tutorial, or at least half of it, on Monday. This is assuming my allergies aren't haywire, which is taking me So long to do the filming. It's allergy season in Texas and it s-u-c-k-s

I'm a fan of one handed stuff. Flatiron & French Manicure are two of my favorites. I also know a triple-one handed fan that makes a nifty display (I'll be submitting that to the Marketplace in the next week or so now that I'm not sick).

Well. If ones character is awkward and Tommy Cooper-ish enough, you can just bring the coins right out again.

To perform regularly at a children's hospital and a retirement/assisted living home. I think that the people who NEED magic in their lives aren't able to make it to a show, so I'll bring one to them. There's two children's hospitals within an hour from where I live. Depending on if I can do a...

I have a question: Regarding volunteers, is there anything different that one should/shouldn't do with kid volunteers? Anything to watch out for?

I did not take the amount of time for a 'volunteer change'. That's a good point. Are there any other deterrents? Or is the time spent changing volunteers that damning to the shows flow?

I guess my ability would be 'helping others'. In terms of magic, I help others see that they are capable of performing impossible feats. Most of my inventory involves a LOT of audience participation and the magic happening in their hands. This does present some challenges in presenting...

Personally. Blank cards. The numbers/letters and suits are meaningless to a spectator other than to identify an individual card. Every other card in a deck that isn't the 'chosen card' is inherently meaningless. So you have them sign a blank card (to fulfill the 'individual card'...

Beginner cardistry is easy. Go to Reddit and go into the cardistry sub-Reddit. There's a sticky note for beginner cardists with resources and recommended cuts (spoiler alert. You'll need to learn one handed cuts in both hands before you move onto two-handed. Don't worry, they are easy.)...

Depends on what you're trying to do though. A LOT of cardistry videos reuse the same song because it sounded good in another trailer.

Thank you for reminding me! Boffo is the next book on my list to get.

Saying they 'aren't as bad' still means it's bad :p
