I have another question. Does anyone have any advice as to what tables to pick or a certain order to go in with you magic. I imagine it would be a bad idea to show the same trick to two parties right next to each other.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm definitely going to look into this. Also, just to clear some things up, I'm 14 but turning 15 pretty soon. I was thinking about trying some of the more chain restaurants like Red Robin, TGI Friday's, stuff like that. I was thinking about arranging a...

I've decided to try my hand at performing in restaurants and I've even got a routine I think would be good set-up. I mainly just have a few questions: 1. Getting The Job: What restaurants should I try getting a job at? How should I see if I can get the job once I decide where would be good...

Um...you can do a double lift...I don't think this is quite as epic as you tried to make it seem.

I'm a bit confused as to what you're getting at but I'll do my best. I think you saw how David involved people's personal memories into his tricks that were a bit embarrassing. As an adult, this can be amusing, but if not, it can be offensive or rude. And do not, I repeat, DO NOT...

Well usually before performing this trick, I perform Wayne Houchin's invisible palm routine. I show them that if you take a card, and make it invisible, you can even get it into the deck without touching it. Then I tell them, when they check the top, that sometimes it goes a bit too far down.

Just because the song fit the occasion, didn't mean you needed it. And we understand it was for viewing pleasure but we were just sharing out thoughts on it.

Song choice=terrible. I know this is off topic but I hate singers who sound like they're whining. As for the effect, it's not very original at all. I see people do this with lighters all the time.

I think I may have thought of a way of using the invisible deck concept to perform Blizzard. I can't really explain anymore without risking revealing the invisible deck but what do you guys think of it? Has anyone tried it?

Two reccomendations. Take off X Finger. I didn't really think it was worth the money. Also, add Strip by Jose Lac'Quest. It's mainly for close up but it's amazing.

I would be EXTREMELY surprised if it came out by then.

I'd show off just about anything that has to do with cheating really. Try to demonstrate false cuts, false deals, false shuffles, etc. Basically just show anything that could be used to cheat at cards. Some card switches could be good too.

So you're recommending he does mentalism in a gambling demonstration? A gambling demonstration is to demonstrate how you could cheat at cards. A mentalism demonstration is to demonstrate how to read minds. They aren't similar at all to me in my opinion.

That seems a bit more like a bottom deal demonstration than a gambling demonstration. There are other moves.

Poison apples...surprisingly effective. But seriously, perform magic, if he gets annoying, stop. Tell him that if he talks one more time, or tries anything funny, you won't perform anymore. If he still does it, tell him you'll stop if he doesn't leave. This works really well. If it comes...

Whoa. I'm not too good at cardistry but this seems really cool.

Welcome to the forums! People may be a bit harsh here at times but it really helps you jump the next step up to be more professional. You can always send me a PM if you ever need help on anything. I hope you enjoy your stay, Charlie

This reminded me of something funny that happened to me. I was performing with some Tally's and the boy WOULDN'T accept that they were a normal deck. I let him inspect him and everything. He never changed his mind. He said he figured out how it was tricks. I asked him what it was and he...

I have to say...that was REALLY cool. First off, I think that transformation looked really great. And that was just brilliant with the cell breaking any everything. Watching the people run was seriously priceless. Great Work.

I disagree. There are many people who, before buying a product, check to see if they can get it for free. If they can't they buy it. If they can't, they don't.
