    Flash paper.

    If the "Flash" from the paper is not an issue, then consider either using an electric shock, or the heated wire that someone else suggested.

    What do I buy with 100$???

    If you are into close-up, Calen Morelli's "Odyssey, seems to be very popular. It is extremely visual and a fun one to perform. Organic because it uses an "everyday object." :)

    Deck Switch

    Plenty of non gimmicked switches out there! If you are looking for a gimmicked switch id suggest either "The Cooler" or "Cold Case." If you don't want to place any props or gimmicks on the table (or don't work with a table top or surface) I would suggest the "Switcheroo Deck Hold-out" by Michael...

    What are your opener effects?

    I love blank deck routines as my openers.... I have 2 that I use depending on the set I am performing! The closer to my act ends with all of the cards going blank again so everything comes back full circle :)

    Oil and water

    Here is my handling that only uses 4 cards :) Im a huge fan of the plot, but there is always some setup before the thing happens and it is hard to cover up.... Though you may not like the 4 card version, you may find some of my subtleties useful? :) Hope it helps! You can learn this here in...

    My version "PCAAN" will be coming out early next year! haha i doubt the method is the same :) mine is a bit devious ;)

    A new effect and old questions.

    Your originality could be in the method itself? Who knows, maybe you have the cleanest method for achieving an effect that has never been done before! I agree that a video or something would be great for clarity. Perhaps submit it privately to some publishing companies (they are sworn not to use...

    "Let me see the card", double lift help.

    YES That is the one! :)

    "Let me see the card", double lift help.

    Two things to do to correct this: 1. Adjust your performance: If you are getting called out on your double, either they can see the cards split in which case you simply need to work on it more to make it look more natural or not flash. Or you could even adjust your performance to "Motivate" the...

    Alternatives to close up pads

    My briefcase that i keep all of my magic in has a close-up pad built in to the top of it. Tony clark makes some good ones. My partner Mike Armstrong builds mine for me custom. :) They are great to hold your stuff in and have a nice working surface

    What do You Say when Someone asks "How do you do that?"

    I assume it is in response to using books to learn the secrets (as in the DDS in a library correct?) I don't ever go to one so i am only guessing.... lol

    I could use some help.

    David Stone has even said after years of experience he still gets nervous. Try doing things to get the adrenaline out like jump up and down or do some pushups or something... it sounds weird but the shaking is just pent up adrenalin (like relation said, so you can run away from that thing trying...

    Culling Cards..Is it worth it to learn?

    Even if only to cull 1 card i think it is a great tool to keep in your arsenal. I have an "out" if you happen to deal with a heckler who wants to put the card in anywhere they want and shuffle. You let them actually take the cards and legit loos it into the deck... You then take the deck back...
