Art Of Astonishment is a definite must have if you want to call yourself a magician, in my opinion. You have a little bit of every genre in there. The knowledge you come out of reading that book is incredible. Paper Engine is great as well. A little more advanced, yes. Buy it for 20-30...

Blackpool.

Very often do I hear the argument that our audience is not stupid enough to "actually believe" us if we present our magic as though it is a real occurrence happening before their eyes. This is in no way implying that you dress up as Mickey Mouse like in Fantasia, carry around a fancy sparkling...

bringing the deck further out on the fingers in starting position has helped me in these regards.

oh ok, I agree with you on those terms. He's an artist we can all learn from.

welcome to the forums. By the way, I have massive respect for David Blaine. soooo it's not completely done away with ;)

Haha. Well, personally, I'm not a fan of competition within art as it is, unless in special civilized respectful situations. But on these terms, I think not :p. Glad you enjoyed it.

Good idea. Although I wouldn't call the Charlier Cut a sleight. Sleights would be something more along the lines of double lift, classic pass, etc... moves that you don't want your spectator to ever see. skillful deception as the dictionary would define it. there could be another section for...

Oops... sorry, I meant the only ones that I have... not the only ones he has.

Chad Nelson's got some potential. I'm eager to see what he's got in the future. I love his style and personality.

on the bright side, you can still or should still get them while they're available, then you'll have effects that you love that are no longer on the market. the only pdfs of his that he has are Burn and Wrath.

I may give it a shot... see if I can actually pull off an idea that's been floating in my mind for a while now.

I was actually most excited to learn the fundamentals with this sort of instruction. and so far, it's living to it's expectations. I found a plus to the lefty teaching for several segments... becoming ambidextrous in cardistry. I'm taking a little long with my study of this project due to trying...

I've gone through sessions of doing 5-6 tricks in a row for someone, hardly any reaction. end with Two Card Monte. They flip out. And what is that? Two cards switching for two cards. And I must be honest, I suck at this trick. I have to rely on a lot of misdirection... A Lot. the most important...
