    Daring to Dream the Impossible

    ... From above. How To Win Success is relative. That is to say what I see as success you may see as failure and vice versa, and that is ok. However, in order to access the success in some mode we have to set parameters, boundaries, targets and goals. We do it everyday without realizing, some...

    Daring to Dream the Impossible

    Hi guys, Long time no see. I haven't been on these forums for ages, reason being I was working on a cruise ship as a Fitness Instructor, and part time close-up magician. But now I'm back, so all is good :) I would like to make my comeback with a motivational essay, that will hopefully lift...

    Unofficial theory11 Must Read List

    If I'm not mistaken, no one mentioned two of the greatest books for every beginner in magic: 1. Royal Road to Card Magic - Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue 2. Modern Coin Magic - Bobo Both of these books are perfect for beginners, first one completely on card magic, second one completely on...

    Perform for the Dying

    I'm currently working on a cruise ship as a fitness director (that's why I'm no longer on these forums, or any other) and we had a big charity thing that went on for month and a half, and it ended yesterday. We visited 3 orphanages in the Mexico, brought kids all kinds of presents, and...

    Performing... Finally

    Greatest advice here. I started that way. Self working tricks. But you still need to practice, so they don't come out as self working tricks, aka. presentation. Self working tricks will help you get over nervousness. And after you do, start with some simple sleights tricks, and build from...

    Video Project Someone Did About Me...

    I have to be honest here, you were contradictory to yourself. In the interview, you said that you need to connect and to touch them on the emotional level, but your videos show different. Your Chicago opener was finished in 20 seconds, it was like "And now your card is red. Let's do it one...

    GENESIS :: First Thoughts

    I have the same experience as you, but with different moves. I NEVER managed to do one handed shuffle, and long distance spinner. After 2 minutes watching Andrei's explanation, I could do BOTH. Definitely the best cardistry project ever. Get it NOW.

    Magic / Cardistry : Become Amazingly Great

    Great post Jon. Just one thing, Usein Bolt became world recorder and Olympic champion after 2 years of practice on the 100m race... So I guess he is an exception to this rule.

    Do you want to fool 98% or 100% of the time?

    It may not transfer well "on the paper", but I performed this effect a lot of times, and not once did anybody figured it out. It is basically my reputation maker, because everybody ask me to do it for someone. There is A LOT of time miss direction in the effect, and you really need to put the...

    Do you want to fool 98% or 100% of the time?

    I'm sorry to steer of the subject, but maybe I can help here. I had similar problem about a week ago. I was performing at a night club, for some girls (friends of a friend), and one of them was very smart (in general, not for magic). And she was also very analytical, and tried to figure stuff...

    Which group are you in?

    Once again, great eye opener (no, that is not a new Sankie effect). I would like to add the fourth group, the ones that do all of the first three. Those are magicians that are hobbyist, and perform magic exactly the way they see it/learn it. They would talk a lot in their 2CM, and right after...
