Personally, i feel that the gimmick was quite easy to make. If you are profficient with making creative cardboard artwork, or just christmas cards style decorations i think you can pull it off. It will take you aobut half an hour to make you first gimmick, and it will be sort of a test. (you...

sounds like you forgot the "fighting"...! are you using cards as weapons? note the Ricky Jay reference;)

Daniel Garcia said in his Kaos dvd: "This is magic...not miracles" I have used that line ever since;)

there is a video of a live perofrmance of a very good mentalist here in the media section...maybe you cant perform like he does, but it gives you the outline of what you may want to have for a large audience. link - http://www.theory11.com/news/news_article.php?NewsID=88

uhm...spanker - you performed mercury aces at one point and magicman1212, you just perofrmed jazz aces. those werent invented by any of you....does that even count?

dragonflight, you can learn his matrix from his dvd - Matrix Trilogy. Im not too sure if its still on sale, i bought mine a while ago and i treasure it so much! The vanishes he shows at the end are also taught on the matrix trilogy.

cool, keep it rockin'!. Why don't you perform the jack production though? i know its hard, and i guess it all comes down to how much time you put into it, but it just looks so...(excuse my wording) "magical"! ive almost go it down, just a few details here and there that need sorting out.

hey Ad, let me just ask you, is this routine actually Gregory Wilson's Phoenix split followed by reset with a hook? i was looking over my dvd's of him and i saw this fitted your description perfectly! i find it a great routine too!

David Stone has a version in Real Secrets of Magic 1 where, in the end, the kings suddenly and unexpectedly change into jacks. this is the one i normally do, and is one of my best tricks, as it fits perfectly in conjunction with my routine. However, another one i do sometimes, depending on the...

I just thought i'd introduce someone for those of you who don't know him. Hayashi is a great magician, he has won five european magic championships(a record) and has a great sense of humor. His most impressive work, by my standard, is Matrix Trilogy. Hands down, he is the grand master...

great little routine! i think it could only be improved if you were actually splitting the card in half, etc, because sometimes you split the two, and then the four dissapears... and Miika has a good point too. otherwise Great! youve inspired me!

i love the kid in red's face at the end. great work!

yeah, copperfield14 has a pretty good idea, although i dont know how to stop people in the EST time zone looking into the international people to get more time on their projects...

theres actually a difference between erasers...(i was shocked too:eek:) i have been using a red eraser and they work just fine for my Bicycle brand playing cards. if you wish, you can practise the technique of erasing on a joker or an extra card with the same finish, although as i have not...

well, yeah, but its better if the least amount of people get "screwed" isnt it? and Tyler, i like the "Saturday contest" idea. maybe somehting like that could be arranged.

well, thy havent been for quite a while now....

it really depends. Alot of people ask for help on these forums, but we cannot do anything until we determine your style, presentation ideas, strengths, weaknessess. if your into a comedy magic show, but one more aimed towards adults, try the Amazing Jonathan for ideas. his funny jokes and...

i have actually only ever used one gaff card. A blue deck of normal bicycle cards caqme with a misprinted nine of hearts that was missing a pip. (actually there was a pip, but it was very faint in colour) hahah other than that i much rather use normal cards, maybe even borrowing a deck from...

well, i could do that if i knew which saturday night the contests are going to be in, after all, theyre not on every single saturday, and i dont want to have to stay up so late every night, especially cause im in the IB program at school and i would have to get up at 6am. not a good thing:eek:

like (i think it was "Toby") pointed out in the most recent SNC, alot of the people who take part in these forums are not actually situated close to Theory11 headquarters (sounds a bit militarish, doesnt it?) or, for that matter, anywhere near the United States. This means that time zones are...
