Yeah. Also don't bore the audience to death. Make sure it is powerful, done well, and still intriguing.

It all depends on the presentation. You can turn simple effects into major reactions easilly. However,of you do want some very powerful effects check out Odyssey by Calen Pirelli, and pair it with Reflex by Patrick Kun or Divorce by Justin Miller. You could also get Dimension from E (don't...

Build it up and perform last. Mentalism is strong.

You could always say what the product is, and someone from the forums can start a PM w/ you to help. This sounds like a good idea, but it would be so difficult to keep track of, so it isn't the best possibility.

I second this.

Not necessarily. There are tricks that don't require a card to be selected and found. Take a color changing deck for example. Even if the card remains the same color, the effect was the fact that the deck changed. Oil and Water is another one. Juan Tamariz and a ton of other magicians have...

I think an important factor is also presentation. If the presentation is different enough, the effect will be different enough. Blaine performed angle z. Am I not going to perform angle z just because of it? He performs switchcraft a lot (something I love to perform). He has also performed a ton...

If they say formal, you may want to present formal, simply because that is the tone of the occasion. However, if they simply want you to be professional, you don't need a suit and tie necessarilly. A nice button down/ up shirt is fine, along with any nice pair of pants. You could also go semi...

It's not even just the fact that you are exposing a trick. In a close friend group, this might be permissible as if they know how a few effects work, they can then help you practice (again CLOSE friend group, not random strangers). It's the fact that you are doing this to show laymen at home...

The clip shift doesn't really use a pinky clip, at least not for a lot of people.

May I ask who these 2 magicians are? And do you have links? I don't wanna accidentally throw shade without seeing it for myself (not that I don't trust you lol, but I think the "innocent until proven guilty" law/benefit of the doubt should be given whenever and wherever possible).

In that case, it's great!

It's kinda creepy but I really like it. My question is that won't a strange deck put spectators on edge?

Spectators don't care about the method.

Brace for impact...

This is different. This is a clip steal with a color change. The Clip shift is a one handed move where the bottom card in a packet is secretly moved to the top in one continuous action.

Great advice! As for your problems, try tilting the right hand packet ever so slightly upwards from the right side. Or just do it slowly.

Thanks!

Lol I seem to have made a mistake. I wrote Rob, and forgot Jebzy! Here is what it was supposed to say: Congrats Jebzy & Rob! Both fantastic entries! There we go, I feel less guilty.

You could probably find an ebook online... Did you check lybrary.com ? Or any other online library? Also, check out eBay and Amazon, maybe someone is selling it close to you. There is also http://www.worldmagicshop.com/ Which is europe' s biggest magic shop. They ship everywhere. Keep...
