    Prevaricator - Patrick Redford

    The logic puzzle is gone from the effect however the lair truth teller situation is still there. You can still do the effect with out it but then it is just a who has what effect. Shoot me a PM and we will talk about it in more detail.

    Magic or trickery?

    I use both in almost all of my work. In my stage show the first half is a demonstration of skill with the closer being more of a power piece. However in the second half everything grows from the first and it intstantly feels just as real however the people start to believe in my power.

    Forum Suggestion

    Most of the people on the forums know who they should listen to however it is still a good idea. Although say if someone like Steerspike I assume he would get a huge negative rep even though he is one of the smartest people on these forums.

    Advice / Thoughts

    The best advice I can give is The Artful Mentalism for anyone who is very very serious about mentalism.

    Advice / Thoughts

    you are trying to do to much. It seems like you have no set direction to your show and more imporantly no set premise as to how you are doing these effects. An other huge problem (atleast in my eyes) is that you are doing EI way too early in the set. It is a slower piece than needs a lot of...

    Drawing Duplication

    Even if it is for one person Sneak Thief is not ruled out. It just needs to be framed slightly different.

    Anate vs Sight:Digital

    Practical Mental Effects (or Magic depending on the print.) Life and Times of a Legend if you want a more complete Annemann experience. (You dont need this but it is a great thing to refer to.) Fundmentals and The Artful Mentalism are both modern classics. But if you only have the...

    Anate vs Sight:Digital

    They are completely different things, so depending on what you want and what you feel suits your character better is correct for you. On 'paper' they are both the same level of probability (10%) in the eyes of the spectator. Whereas in actual fact one hits 100% of the time and the other hits...

    Lucky for us not many people are willing to but that much effort into the routine.

    Drawing Duplication

    Mikk Sneak Thief is so much more than a DD it is a fully fledged act that can last for easily 10 minutes.

    What about future custom cards by theory11?

    I dobut that will happen as Accro's as discontinued and a three and a half year thread bump is hardly justified.

    t11.bulletin : DVR by Tony Chang - Now Available

    Ben Earl's goes to the top Tony's does not. Tony's is closer to Hooser's Slipstream control than Earl's Streamline control. However he added a convincing control aspect to the handling.

    Drawing Duplication

    UI does not fit the on the spot method taht he wants. I have a soft spot for DD's and some of the best ones that are 100% impromptu are as follows. Sneak Thief: (Either Max Maven's Desire or Andy Nyman's Graphology.) This is more than a DD it is a psychometery style themed routine with a...

    Best Closer for Stand Up Show?

    I don't want to sound too harsh, so excuse my bluntness. Your show has no plot. In fact most shows I see have no plot, no story and no direction. All your show feels like is an assortment of trick and is a very egotistical look at what I can do. Your charater should grow, through the...

    Stage Magic

    The biggest issue I have is with your psychometery routine. Very rarely is it performed well because most people (magicians and mentalists included) perform it the wrong way. You should look into the work of TA Waters or Phil Goldstien on the subject. I will happily discuss the differences...
