Those couple look pretty good. This should be a good one. j

Thanks Michael. I received another comment that someone thought there was too much time between the vanish and the reveal. What do you all think? This is an interesting question because I was thinking of vanishing it, and having it appear there much later - would that kill the effect? What...

Hmmm, it's not new. I learned this somewhere. I will dig through my books and see if I can find it. (Unless someone else already knows)

Agreed. It seems to happen with any cards (except bee I suppose)

I find people have no real explanation for wild levitation, even though it uses a jacket (which no one has ever questioned me about). It's always ready to go, and I more often than not have a jacket or hoodie on. I don't do it often, but the stories fly out of control (sorry about the pun). j

Short review. Is the levitation from :07 - :14 the same as Wild Levitation? It looks identical. Are the methods different?

I use wild levitation. And you forgot the all important choice in your poll: "sometimes".

Good questions Foolzsight. I use my case to dip into to switch the deck for when I use a disposable deck. As I finish with my trick before I am putting an envelope back in the case, do the switch, and go right into Hotel 52. Other than that, pockets work very well. You can always pretend to...

I generally don't like performing for kids. Unfortunately I get a lot of requests for kids shows. Eventually I will have to start. Nice work in the vid! j

Thanks for the feedback. I did pick up ringleader a while back. I should dig it out again. I talked to some people afterwards and they genuinely felt bad for me when I had to pull out the instructions. Of course they realized it was part of it. Any particular reason you felt it was overplayed?

Well articulated^^ For me I really try to not do anything that leaves me dirty. Or try to ditch earlier than later. Because in my head, I feel that once the the spectator's brain starts trying to figure the effect out and backtrack it in their head, their thoughts will come to my hands...

FYI, David talks about holding his breath for 17 minutes. http://media.theory11.com/2948 http://www.ted.com/talks/david_blaine_how_i_held_my_breath_for_17_min.html?awesm=on.ted.com_680Z&utm_medium=on.ted.com-twitter&utm_source=direct-on.ted.com&utm_content=site-basic

This was the dvd that took me away from just cards and gave me the courage to try out other areas of magic. Fantastic dvd. Great review. j

Hey all. So I talk about how much I like to watch magicians perform for real people instead of just their cameras, and I generally don't film my shows, but I got some footage from today's show, and thought I'd put my money where my mouth is. It was just a few people, and a mix of kids and...

Hey nice find. Thanks for sharing. Very nice coin work. That rubber band trick is on (although I'm sure in many other places too) Gregory Wilson's On the Spot DVD. Although I've never seen someone go back up. That was pretty cool. I enjoy his performance style.

...he says very humbly to a FISM winner.... ;)

Ah, nvm jtm

This is my favorite as well. Angles are nearly perfect and it's super easy and get's great reactions. - not to mention that the DVD is filled with so much amazing, practical, material and ideas. j

Shawn Farquhar hasn't released his method (which is a vast improvement on earlier methods). Cyril is performing Shawn's method without permission and against Shawn's wishes. Shane's version is a bit different, and looks very good. His may be the best available on the market. My finger is...

Quoted for truth ;)
