Yes Lyle, Mentalism is like the cowbell of the magic world. :)

Now to get to the OP's topic. What I look for when creating an original effect (or in many cases modifying an original idea) are: -What is the effect? (What am I going for here? What kind of emotional response will I get?) -Is it practical? (does it make sense, and will it work in situations I...

Very well said. I have to say that some of the biggest issues I see are when things are very random. Now magic can be random sometimes, but the more organic something is the better. For example, if I walk up to someone with a soda can and do a healed and sealed type effect, the reaction will...

Love love LOOOOVE IT! Just for my own curiosity's sake. How do you feel about my "Hatline Prediction" effect as the hatline for the end of a set? I mean, it works well for me, but I am curious to know other busker's professional opinions :) Thank you in advance!

My pleasure! The pressure thing isn't exactly an original idea, so please feel free to use it! Some tips when doing it: 1. Set the camera to selfie video mode. 2. I like to do a little intro to the camera with my name and then spin around so I can get the audience in the background (they will...

I don't have a list for top ten ever!, but I can at the very least give you a list of the top ten effects I perform at my venues that are a MUST for me to bring to any gig. In no particular order: -"Ninja Rings" by Shoot Ogawa -"Ninja Plus" by Matthew Garrett -"Ambitious Ink" by Michael O'Brien...

SPONGE BALLS!!!!!!! I never do a show without them...

I am 100% for the rose and dresscode idea!

Eric jones talks a lot about this in his new release "Mirage et Trios" (butchered spelling I'm sure lol) where he both: A. borrows the coins to create a more organic feel to it and B. allows the coins to be placed into the spectator's hands as much as possible during the routine. At the end the...

Or have your parents add their indo and have all of the money go to them. Then they can just pay you themselves out of what T11 sends them.

I rather enjoy your titles! I myself am a bit less creative I feel lol. My titles usually have something to do with either the trick that inspired it, or having some relative name to the effect itself. For example: -"Dicewave": Inspired by brainwave and uses dice -"Tu Tu Transpo": A play on...

If you are looking for a way to make an extra buck or two while doing something organic (like street magic, may I suggest checking out my "Hatline Prediction." It is available here on the T11 Marketplace. Basically all you need is something to write on and money which can both be borrowed from...

Anything with a soft smooth surface will work. I usually don't take my pad with me so I practice on a chair or the couch most of the time haha

Can't wait!

Glad to hear it my friend! Let me know how it turns out! and please feel free to let add your own twists or handling to it! :P shoot a video if you ever want too!

Ah thanks Brett. Yeah i know there was a bug awhile back, I thought it was corrected.... alas... Will try agin when it is fixed. Thank you for trying though!

Great advice. Especially if it involves some kind of gaff or gimmick!

I honestly think it looks great! It all depends how you turn over a single card. Remember, your DL should look identical! So if you are turning over a single card this way you need to turn over your DL the same way!

Hello Everyone! Was wondering if you could all do me a huge favor? :D If you purchased any of my downloads here in the marketplace, could you please leave an honest review? It will help me out a lot and will let me know what works and what doesn't for future releases. Thanks everyone! *Link to...
