So I didn't have time to complete my stupid idea this time xD I was going to glue a ton of cards to my ceiling fan.

Can the flourish be a rube goldberg type flourish? As in, can we use other things besides just our hands and cards? I have a stupid idea that might be good xD Good luck to all!

Would you guys like to see the video for the exact handling? 4:26

I'm not sure, but I doubt that they are, since they've been around for what seems like forever. Probably just out of stock, getting reprinted as we speak.

Generally, I perform a show stopper effect that is quick, and this tells the heckler to buzz off. If that doesn't work and he amps up the annoying to try and make you look stupid, don' be afraid to make him look a fool. If he keeps annoying you, but not trying to make you look stupid, take the...

So I was watching a video of a man explain the most common ways card sharks would cheat at cards. One of these was a deck switch called the Cooler Move. This was NOT the Cooler Deck switch by Christian Engblom. Instead it was a strange deck switch that lapped 1/2 the cards and stole the other...

Why not use a gypsy switch? It seems perfect. Have them place it in the handkerchief, misdirect while you re-position it, and gypsy switch. Plus, no gimmicks: Borrowed Ring, Borrowed Napkin.

No, never use fanning powder unless it is for a cardistry stage performance (its not good stuff for your cards, it gets rid of the finish). Sometimes you just get a bad deck, it happens from time to time (though TXI prints on Q1 so it is very rare). Sometimes, it only clumps because one card is...

I think that's a scissor cut variation. Instead of completing the cut, he/she is just flipping the packet over to form another packet. Don't quote me on that.

Thanks! That's what I was worried about (I wasn't quite sure how its gonna work out, or how I'm going to run it 100%). I don't think I'll necessarily charge $50, maybe $25 - $30. Do you think negotiating in a prince-range is ok?

How much would you guys say a Highschooler that is just starting out should charge (Birthday parties, gatherings, walk around)? I have some major opportunities, even thinking about going at a few for free to get my name out around the area.

No problem :)

What are you talking about....

But where on earth is a brick being sold as 9 decks? Its supposed to be 12, is it not.

Well you see, I'm a highschooler, so money is pretty hard to come by for me personally, so what rick said is true, if you can afford to buy bricks repeatedly (granted, a Bike brick is $15 at Costco). I bought a brick of Tally's almost 5 months back now and still have 9 unopened packs and 3 in...

Oh ok then :)

But is it practical? I mean, If I was paying a guy to do magic I would expect him to bring his own stuff. That's not to say that those types of tricks are the only ones you would do, but still.

Well the books in question here are Technique books, not effects. I'm looking specifically at books such as Ed Marlo's Revolutionary Card Technique, and Huggard's Royal Road, and books like that.

Just an idea, but 10 years after the release of the original Monarchs, you should do a full box set reprint of every monarchs ever.

Congrats Khaleel! True, but they're 7 hours apart by car. Not the same place :)
