Also i should say that I do see usefulness for some gimmicks, but I dont want to become reliant on them, and i would also like to be able to perform any trick at any time with any deck. My primary audience is friends and family, so i would run into the whole "hey do that thing you did with the 2...

I understand what you are saying, but i guess from my perspective i have always thought of the audience as viewing the magician as someone who doesn't perform "magic" but one who can trick your senses with undected moves and expert handling of the cards (thats how i viewed magicians even prior...

Does anybody else think that they are cheating the audience out of something by using gimmicks of any sort? I can't bring myself to buy any gimmicked cards (or any other gimmick for that matter) because i feel like i am doing the audience an injustice by having more than what i am showing or...

Thats a good idea about having them name the card. I point this out only because there a lot of times even for me when i will look at a card I think to myself "black four" or something like that. I havent had this happen to me in an actual performance, becuase i havent had many. Usually only...

Hahaha. Thats great. You could really mix some comedy in with that if it fits your style. You completely got me. I had to watch it twice. Cool trick and quite literal.

Oh my God, thank you. Good idea to by the way i will have to use that.

The previous post was a sincere attempt at an appology or at least a means to an end. I like these boards a lot because i feel like a lot can be learned from them. Although a bashing was not something i expected, i guess you take the good ones with the bad ones. I am trying to be as civil as...

Please learn to read. I have to say that those are some of the most misconstrued comments i have ever seen. I didnt say dont comment, i said dont make belligerent comments. Please refer to a dictionary if you dont know what that is. This post is about the intersection between card magic and...

Look its not a comment and it is not to say that its my only problem. Its an observation. So for those of you that obviously dont completely understand the statistical value in the observation why dont just refrain from commenting all together especially if its going to be belligerent. The fact...

why bother posting something like that. keep that kind of stuff to yourself and more people will like you.

Well technically it is as just as likely to happen no matter how much you shuffle. In fact if you dont have any or very few like that then it is quite likely to increase the chances that you have more

How many of you ever have this happen. You are recording a video or showing someone a new color change that you learned and you end up changing a 4 of spades into a 4 of clubs or any 2 cards of the same value and color and they look at you as if to say what the f**k just happened, you didnt do...

Thanks much fellas

Can anyone tell me what the name of the move is, that is performed in this video at 1:23 and again at 1:32? Is it some variation of the biddle count? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWNMpfXrBsY

I have part of it. If you want to collaborate on this it might be easier if you had msn messenger or something.

Phenomenal stuff dude. These are the kinds of things i was looking for. If you find the rest of that let me know so i can give you my e-mail. Thanks a lot.

I had watched it before and it will definitely help when i get ready to work on the cover. Thanks a lot for the link.

Yeah dude yours looks great. I know my cover isnt that great at the moment, but the main thing i was looking for is to make sure that my mechanics are right on the move itself. Things like the index finger flopping around as magicfreak667 pointed out earlier. What is the difference in technique...

Here is a video of doing the pass and then a few performances. I would like some tips on it. I have only been doing it a month so i know that i need more practice. I am just trying to make sure that my mechanics are right, and also trying to get tips that might help me do it better. Thanks for...

That was it. It was indeed very informative. I thought it was you that posted that link. I glanced at the one handed shift and it looked rediculous.
