    Daniel Madison Style backfire...

    He's not telling you to do it.He's advising you. The thing he tells you are to get your brain working to create your own moves with the flourish.Instead of just turning sideways why not spin sideways?Add a little rhythm to it you know?Your OWN flavor.

    When your making a speech at school that might help,but a performer has to be aware of his audience.

    Anxious when performing?

    You dont mess up because your lacking practice.Being in the eye of a crowd gets to people. The ONLY thing that helps you is to perform alot. Something you can do that will really help is to go up to people at the mall,bookstores,whatever and just start conversations.Dont perform magic at all...

    Rate the idea of this card trick ...

    Your ideas on presenting it are alot more important than the effect. Shrinking the deck is amazing anyway.Thats fine. Now why does it shrink just to find the card face down? Just finding the card sort of demeans the concept of shrinking the deck.

    Everyone here learns flourishes from another professional creator.Everyone does sybil and its slutty sisters and Daniel madison and devo flourishes. The reason you more than likely got so much hate was because the VIDEO itself was a copy of daniel madisons. The black shirt,the B/W video,the...

    Interview with Criss Angel by Penn - Made me respect Angel more.

    Jesus,at least watch the tape before putting it on t.v. I dont care what the interview had or anything. I dont like HIM. Him as a person,i just detest him constantly talking about himself.And having other people speak about how great he is at what he does.Theres no reason for it.

    Practice on Family?

    Thats the thing though.Magic is theatre. They know/knew that. Hell,they expected me to build a character,its a must.

    Practice on Family?

    No I didnt,I know my parents(ive known for awhile actually).I DID show them the flashy stuff and they didnt care much for it. For them, that isnt the real pizazz in magic. No matter how flashy the trick was,I didnt do it justice.I gave it no flavor because I had no place,no character in what I...
