First off, great name for a thread right? Anyways, I just wanted to know what you guys think of the super visual tricks (like the ones in 52SoR). On the one hand, They look stunning. On the other hand, they almost always involve some form of gimmick, making some of them near impossible close...

Welcome! We'd love to have you in our discussions! 10 years of experience is a lot! What kind of card magic do you like the most?

More of a gag for your friends, but you fold up the picture and hide it inside there chicken container or under there chicken/plate/napkin. Also, you could make a sticker and secretly put it on a KFC ad (outside, on a wall, a flyer, a newspaper, whatever). And we need one for Popeyes!!!

1. If you were not a magician, how would your life be different? (I.e. To what extent has magic changed your life?) 2. If you had to choose on of the two and do away with the others, which would you do; Create magic, perform magic, or consult, and why? 3. What advice do you have for the up and...

Yes! This is crucial! Trial and error need to be 2 of your best friends. Even if something seems way to bold to try, try it. It may work.

Or stick it to your face, walk into a KFC, and say "I own the place, gimme more chicken!". This is actually a brilliant idea Rusty!

Just a thought, but I noticed that the design looks simple, but is actually very intricate. It's actually kind of hard to focus on a single point in the deck. That being said, it would be perfect as a marked deck, because you would only see it if you know what to look for.

Lol I didn't even see that I thought it was just a picture of Colonel Sanders xD

No I think he is just creating 1 design now

Thanks. The major effect I'm talking about is a method from my own mind completely, but accomplishes an effect already present. That's basically what I figured.

Bro there is an example literally 2 posts up xD

Here's what I do: There are a few ways I go about creating my own tricks. Method 1: I take a simple trick that I learned in a book (or elsewhere) and see how I can add to it. I add my own moves, own technique, on story, own patter, and eventually own concept, sometimes resulting in an improved...

Elaborate my good sir.

I don't think that is possible in real life. That doesn't help with angels either. That's more of just "Hey, come figure out my trick". people don't normally walk around during a performance.

Practice the patter in your Native Language? I've tried to perform for my family in my native language and it is definitely hard. However, developing an equal patter in your native language may help. Personally, the only people I perform to who speak my native language are almost 100% my...

I don't think so. If you go into a VR video, the camera is still fixated at one point. I think its better when the magic companies take multiple shots from different angles, and lay them on the screen at the same time.

David from Magic Orthodoxy had a nice idea: Is this what you were talking about Michael?

You could just by storage boxes. They work fine! Or use a shoe box. However, when you buy a brick of cards, you get a case for a brick that works perfectly! Also, could you link me to the box you were talking about?

Great Motivational story, and I'm glad you continued man! However, the one thing I need to disagree on is that you said magic is fading from our modern world. I think its changing and growing, but certainly not fading.
