Now this is interesting. How come when one of us ("ordinary" magicians) copy a presentation, he get's bashed from everybody how he needs to have his own patter in order to advance in the magic community, and be original; but when a "professional" (someone who is known to everyone, or have a DVD...

This is not one of those deeper meaning threads, just a food for the thought. I showed some rubber band magic to my older brother, and he loved it. He wanted to learn it so he can show it to his girlfriend and his coworkers. He is not a magician, but he got the tricks down good enough. So...

There is a great one on True Astonishment DVD set. Great presentation too.

Yep, it's on the True Astonishment DVD set. And you also have a good one by David Stone in his Real Secrets of Magic vol.1

I cannot say if it's a phase for you, or it will last forever. But I have had couple of those phases. Some were 3 months long, some 6, some even 9... But I always came back, and every time I get back, I'm even better than before the brake. The things that I did to bring my self back to magic was...

Thanx buddy, really means a lot. I'll see what I can do.

How about a one way deck for the first idea that you put. That way you don't have to worry about a way to force a card, or if the force is going to look the same. And IMHO doing different forces for each person looks more suspicious than doing the same one. Just think about it, if their...

They are definitely powerful. It's all about presentation. I use one math trick, that everybody is requesting to do again, or for someone else. Here is the presentation for that trick that I use http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?22579-Presentational-Ideas-2

Hehe, thanx bro. Murse is perfect, because I mainly cary it for my ID's, money, keys... So I also use it as a magic murse :) since I carry it al the time anyways.

Yep, almost always. They just hang out in my murse (male purse :D ). I have a deck of cards, with odd backed card for Chicago Opener, Twilight Angel card with mirror in my murse, WOW 2.0 gimmick, Two rubber bands, Fairytale Frogs cards, Woman's Intuition cards setup, Ultimate Oil and Water...

I have to agree. I would phrase it differently, but I agree. Thouths are a lot more powerful than we think they are. Kevin Trudeau said that thoughts are things, and I agree.

Thank you. It's good to be back. And thank you for support, I got "jelaous" of you guys making amazing essays, so I wanted to join the club ;) Hope that this essay is going to help someone, and that it wont go to waste.

Thank you. It really means a lot comming from someone as respected as you. Yeah, the whole point is to apply this in as many aspects of life as we can. Glad to hear that man. Keep it up now that you are on a roll ;)

I apologize for bumping my own thread, I was asked to bring this back up. Thanx for understanding.

Wow, he is insane. Mad skill and mad creativity. I want to see more than half of those things published. This is the first time in my 4 years long magic journey that I am actually jealous of fellow magician. Well done.

You mean the one in Daniel Garcia's "Warning" ?

I have WOW 2.0, facedown version. Thrust me, there is nothing better to end your ACR than with that. It is my most requested effect. Now, couple of tips about facedown version. It looks really much better if you do it quickly, when the card just hit them in the face, than to do the slow...

Thanx for the reply. I'm not saying that Panic is bad effect, on countrary it's brilliant method of achieving deck vanish. I just made a mistake because it doesn't really play good with my working environment (which is basically spectators being only inches away from me, it's really in closed...

I like the point about buying books and DVD's. Specially because beginners are impulsive buyers, they will buy everything that is new, nice and shiny, and waste A LOT of money on DVD's that they will just throw away. I made couple of mistakes myself, specially when I started earning comfortable...

How many people that posted here, actually read the original post? He is already with this girl, for a YEAR. Of course they are already going to the prom together, he doesn't NEED to impress her, she is already going to the prom with him, because they are dating for a YEAR. Makes sense? Ok...
