    Will Tsai Matrix on AGT?

    I 100% agree. He could do a card to impossible location next, but if he plays up there performance it could be even bigger than this was.

    What do you look forward to the most?

    I prefer honest trailers that show the entire performance. I am not a fan of super edited and drawn out, over the top trailers. Something that shows the effect being performed. Honest and to the point :) As for the effect itself, it sounds interesting. Cannot wait!

    Performing the trick..

    A lot of magic these days is getting released just because. You should only release something if it genuinely going to help the magic community. Effects should be tested and work in real performance. If something is just an idea that may work in theory, you may as well hold onto it until a real...

    Best Way to Sell A Physical Product

    I would need to know what it is you plan to manufacture first. lol but yes, you can hire someone to do a 3D design for you and submit it to manufacturing companies who can do the run. Typically they charge you both a 1 time set up fee and if need be a mold casing fee. Then you would pay for the...

    Best Way to Sell A Physical Product

    It really depends what you want to make. I will not re post my "How to create and sell Magic" video again because i know you have watched it already. lol But IMO you should find which manufacturer works best for what you want to make. Then figure out cost, then start hyping it up. Kickstarter...

    Card in mouth

    David stone's "French Kiss" may be a good option. That card ends up folded inside the mouth. He then places the folded card inside a baggie so that the guest can keep it without having to touch it. I 100% agree however that you should not be performing C2M in any situation where guests are eating.

    Content Content and More Content

    Yes! I follow Gary, Thai Lopez, and Grant Cardone. They have a lot of solid advice on sales and just getting yourself pumped up in general! As you may have noticed, I have been increasing my level of social media output recently (as a direct result of what these guys have to say. Gary suggests...

    Angles with many spectators and misdirection

    The two things that help me misdirect are: 1.Ask a question/say their name 2.Make eye contact. Works every time!

    We can't let magic die

    Magic is growing increasingly more and more popular. It has a ton of mainstream traffic and is actually in my opinion from dead. I love Chris and his work, but I think it is a bit dramatic to claim magic is dying. Perhaps he meant the secrets of magic are becoming more exposed? That I may agree...

    MAGIC REVIEW: "B.C. Shuffle" by Jeremy Griffith

    Great question! There are several overhand shuffle variants. Each with their won set of pros and cons. This particular handling requires a bit more "control" of the cards to be executed properly, but looks extremely clean. If you are controlling 1 or two cards, I would stick to the version you...

    Are we truly able to put "exposure" in the bank?

    Feel free to hear my thoughts on the matter. Would love to know what yall think about it! One popular excuse I hear too often is that it lowers your value to take gigs for free. In a way it can I guess if you are taking most or all of them that way, but I honestly feel like a well placed...

    How do you recover from messing up a trick?

    If i mess up I will say something like "wait... that wasn't it? What was it?" They tell you the card then you go through the deck like it isn't in there. Then say "Oh because it is in my pocket." Basic palming skills can fix most of your screws haha Or you could go into a magician in trouble...

    Magic and Witchcraft

    Depends on your definition of witchcraft I guess.... I personally do not believe in any of it so to me it would be the same thing as an illusion as far as my emotional state. I have used a Ouija before and did so because it was fun, not because i thought i was speaking to the dead lol

    What is the best iPhone trick?

    I don't know the name of it but Patrick Kun has a cool "Card to Instagram" effect out that uses a normal IG account. You don't need to purchase any additional ads and it works on a borrowed phone

    Using same control on spectator twice

    I agree. You want to make it look the same overtime. Even if you use different techniques, the spectator should not notice a difference. That is why i prefer easier to execute sleights because they tend to look the most natural.

    Walk around card magic?

    also one last thought.... anything can be made to work without a table if you work out the mechanics of it. ;)

    Walk around card magic?

    I have specially designed most of my stuff to work in the hands! Even stuff that is set up or gimmicked can be performed without a table. You are welcome to take a look to see if any of it influences you in any way. :) https://www.theory11.com/marketplace/michael-obrien I would suggest...

    MAGIC REVIEW: "B.C. Shuffle" by Jeremy Griffith

    The "Overhand Shuffle" is perhaps one of the most common ways to mix up a deck of cards. What if I told you that someone came up with a clever way to control a card using this shuffle? Multiple Cards? Maintain the entire stock??? This week we take a look at the "B.C. Shuffle" by Jeremy Griffith...
