The gimmick come's 1 size LARGER than you ordered. So I have a size 11 ring finger. I ordered it. I got a size 11 ring, and a size 12 gimmick. And even if it is smaller, it doesn't matter too much, as you will see. So you should buy a size 11 if your ring finger is size 11. Btw, one of my...

So I am right in assuming I could use the Advocate's Index in a ton of different routine's right?

Congratz!

I think he was going for more so sleight of hand paired with gimmicks. Which brings up the interesting part of this: You need a fair amount of understanding of sleight of hand in order to use most gimmicks, and definitely to perform them well. It isn't all "smoke and mirrors". In fact, it is a...

Oh, if Endurance acts count, all the mind blowing stunts David Blaine used to do need to be taken into account.

Oh I also did some research, and found that the Encyclopedia of Card Tricks has one in it. Does anyone know if the Index from The Encyclopedia is any good?

Thanks! I was thinking of picking up Advocate, since that is where I first heard of the index. I was wondering if there are any other sources for it though. P.S. Will the book/manuscript suffice? There is only a $2 difference between The Advocate Download & DM's Devilry book (which has a lot...

What is an index, and where can I learn about one/find one? From what I understand, it has all the cards in a deck, and you can easily find and palm one off, from your pocket or something? I've only just run across it a couple times now and am super interested.

Oh and 1 more thing, make sure you experiment with other non gimmicked deck switches too. Every gimmick is something to carry around.

If it is only a few cards, why not just use an overhand shuffle, or even a riffle shuffle that keeps the top stock on top? Or, if you really absolutely need to give it a wash, cop or palm the cards off, and place them back on after the wash. But for your deck switch: The Art of Switching Decks...

They have Bee Stock, but are printed as Bikes, with the Riderback design. But yes, they are 100% real. Infact, they are also Q1, so they are, by some standards, better than your standard bicycle deck,

The type David Blaine performed? Yeah, definitely. The old school bullet catch was dangerous, but not super dangerous (people just managed to mess up and inure themselves. I remember one guy accidentally got shot because the person shooting it forgot to put a blank in).

Yes. Such Danger. Much Sharp. To be fair though, they probably wear some sort of armor just in case it misses. Furthermore, if it was going towards the helper/human, the knife probably slipped, meaning that it might not hit them at the point. Still, getting hit in the face with a flying metal...

First off, find out what you want to do. Stage, street, coin, close up, etc. You mentioned you like Cardistry? I think you ment more so card magic, and other small object magic. Cardistry is flourishing with cards (which is much more different. Look up some cardistry compilation videos on...

Escapes & sword swallowing are probably the most dangerous because they are real. However, I think the most dangerous effects, and most will agree, are the ones that put the spectators, or someone else, in danger, and thus should not be performed.

Do you mean a negative stripper? Or do you mean one where the short edges are the ones that are shaved?

Lol. I couldn't work on it until Great Lmao. "The compartment actually has 2 uses. The first one, is for Rabbits.". Dying :D Seriously though, this performance was amazing! I totally forgot about the the trick and was so into it that I was mindblown when the card was revealed.

I know. I was kinda using it as an example. But still, their a drinks, and things on the tables, personal belongings, etc. If he wants to use a table, then he probably should use a table, right?

Er, so when you replied, there were about 11 hours. You have like, 6 and a quarter from now.

If you want to make your own loops, go ahead and buy Yigal Mesika's Invisible Thread. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/1975 Same stuff used in loops, and T2 I believe, so you would be good for your ITR. It comes in a dental floss like box and is called "Mesika Elastics". You will also need to buy...
