Toby...don't take offense, there have been countless times on here that some of the more experienced guys have thrown out some outstanding advice and it just gets glanced at by the young'ins waiting for the next deck to be released.

Most of the people who have successfully done the "create your own deck" on kickstarter are graphic artists. It is not cheap by any means. You are looking at around $10,000 I believe. There have only been a few actually meet their goals and MANY have fallen way short. You will need to create...

What are you guys on...PC...Mac...? What Browser are you using?

I'm right there with you Draven so don't feel bad. I bought the Trilogy and don't use a single move or effect from it in normal paid performances. I have a hard time with the handlings and frankly don't have the time with a wife, kids, and regular day job to put in the hours to get the effects /...

Insane and very creative! I also enjoyed viewing these. Congrats.

Jebzy....are you thinking that this is a book of Jokes and Funny Lines? It isn't that. If you want something like that you need to look into Sleight of Mouth by Harry Allen.

Hi Raccoon, Thanks for posting this, however, I'm 100% positive it is not original. There have been tons of ring and rubber band effects around for awhile. If everyone on the Wire posted their videos that were rejected there would probably be a few hundred effects up here including about 10...

Just finished the second video (bonus). It was quite evident that you have performed both Chicago Opener and CMH numerous if not 1,000 or more times like you mentioned. You provided great patter and subtleties. I have never used the card box on the table as you did for a little stand and...

I recently picked up a copy of Ian Keables "Stand Up - A Professional Guide to Comedy Magic" I am only 63 pages into this book and I can tell you right now this is a MUST own book for those of you who are serious about entertainment. Jokes Versus Lines Keable states on page 33 "As a...

Thoughts on 1st part of Cruise Video: Thanks for the shout out! I loved the humor though out the video. -- Seems like you get in a TON and I mean a TON of performing experience (your 45 hours per week is outstanding) -- I had No idea that you would HAVE to live with a room mate while on...

Wow Toby, I just watched the entire first video (will watch the second one tomorrow since it is past midnight). You did an outstanding job providing our community with some very good "hands - on" working knowledge. You also did it in a hilarious way that made it entertaining. I was...

I'm in agreement with Toby. Reread his comments carefully and think about them. You have a ways to go before that would even fly out in the real world and count as "entertainment". Just being honest as I normally am. Practice the sleights more and do them for audiences so that you know their...

On vacation with my family right now Toby...will watch as soon as Im home tomorrow night. I can't wait. Thanks again for taking the time to do this. I'll have plenty of comments for you!

I'll see what we can do William.

I think it is time to lock the thread. Enough information for him to begin has been delivered and he can start to choose his material.

I don't mind the conversation but lets stay professional fellas.

Welcome Tarpazanx, You've come to the right place. In the beginning it will be hard for you to stop yourself from buying everything you can get your hands on....try to refrain from this because you'll end up with hundreds if not thousands of dollars sitting in your drawers or in your...

Purel or other hand sanitizer that has alcohol in it will dry your hands out and make them feel great and have less oils on them. Also try switching your deck every 20 minutes to half hour if they are really clumping and your hands are sticking to them. I myself as well as my mentor will even...

Toby....I'm very pumped to have you share this wealth of information with the community. Thank you so much.

I had the pleasure of visiting Denny and Lee Magic Studio this afternoon for about an hour while my family and some friends went to Port Discovery. I have been to MANY magic shops and so far his was hands down the best. It was well stocked in the most up to date effects and had tons of outdated...
