Interresting. it works on my end... ill see if I can fix it

Guess I better give up on myself then.... lol ;)

Message Matthew Garrett directly and he will give you the ring for the specific size you need!

Depends on the end effect you want to accomplish. Take this basic effect in magic, the "Ambitious Card." If I lose the card into the deck, shuffle the deck and after performing a few flashy cuts, the card is now on top. It is impressive. The magician was able to find the spectator's card and...

To further emphasise my point, many magicians will sacrifice the effect and magical impact it has to incorporate difficult or "knuckle busting moves" simply to show off how much practice they have put into it. NEVER sacrifice the effect so that you can show off difficult moves.

The gimmicks, sleights, and moves are just the means to accomplish the effect. Decide what your effect is and use the sleights, gimmick, or move that best accomplishes that goal. Many magicians bag on the Svengali deck, but to layman, it is impossible that the selected card can end up rising to...

I assume you are putting together a gambling type demonstration? If so, the second deal is prolly your best bet. It is the easiest to perform naturally and you can do cool stuff like turn the top card face p and show that you are dealing cards while the top card doesn't move. If you are...

A second this! Your character should be an extension of yourself and whatever you feel makes you most comfortable. DO NOT try to imitate another performer's character because you will more than likely not be able to portray them the same way and the audience will definitely notice...

My best advice is be able to perform this without looking at it and while talking. I guarantee you, if you can do all 3, then the speed will not be necessary. To reiterate what Mr. Book has said, the tempo is a very solid and steady pace. No need to be super fast at it. Being natural, consistent...

My good friend Jeremy Griffith just but out a download using a very slick control called the "BC Shuffle." Heres the trailer! Check it out! :) https://lostartmagic.com/shop/download/bcjeremy/

The inner smart allec inside me couldn't help it. Plus, I think I give plenty of advice and input on these forums. Think a fun random post every now and then isn't such a bad thing. Clearly the admin thought it was funny....

that Jonathan Bayme really like Chipotle? Just curious ;)

Cardistry is great for demonstrations of skill. However, the less flourishes you perform during your 'magic' act, the more magical your performance will be!

Can you make a video of it? It does seem to be exactly like bounce...

I think the originality will come from the performance itself. depending on the method, It sounds like it may have been done before. But if it is as "hands off" as you say, it may be worth trying for anyways, as long as you give proper credits to routines that inspired it!

Honestly.... for me at least, the "Pass." I know I am going to hear people say "but that is like a classic technique and a basic principle of magic!!!!!" True! However for me, I would bee more comfortable just controlling the card while i talk. If I ever do use the pass, it is never while people...

haha its all good! It was fun to share! :)

To give you guys a little context, "Blank Triumph" will be included in the book.... However, it will actually have a magical ending ;) haha

#magicianhumor ;) Glad you enjoyed it!

As long as your routine is vastly different from something someone else is published, you will be fine as long as proper credits are given ;)
