See, my problem is this. I'm sure that, with work, it could look cleaner than it does on the demo. But the fact is, that is doesn't look clean on the demo. So what's left is an idea. That's what you're essentially paying for. But if you have an idea, why not do it right, if it's actually good...

Reaaaaaaaaaaaally?

Mnemonica is absolutely amazing. I prefer it over any other memorised/stacked deck available and use it regularly including for my favourite effect. It takes on average about 3 hours to memorise. If you need any help with it feel free to ask, I've used a lot of material from it at some point or...

I feel like reposting this in a completely new topic, since it's been dragged so far off the original point -_-"

The book did get a very favourable review from Jamy over at Genii...

If it looks like trash, sounds like trash, and smells like trash...

I had a look at the trailer... Not convinced, tbh. I have a few problems with it from the video. 1) The very first move looks terrible! It's often said that a spectator knowing a move has taken place is just as bad as a spectator seeing exactly how it's done. Well, I watched the video, and the...

In principle, it resembles a Duck Change, using a Visa Switch type handling, just with two cards instead of the deck. Doesn't look nearly as convincing as the Duck Change though imo... But I don't know if this is an actual published change or not. Also reminds me of a change on Greg Wilson's...

The first half of your thread kinda asks for exposure to a specific effect, so suffice to say, firstly that he tells you exactly what he uses, and secondly, it should be pretty clear anyway. As far as other gimmicks in the DVDs, to be honest it's been a while since I've watched them, but from...

It's true though that basically all magic is illogical. This is basically because we can't actually do magic, we need to make compromises. On one hand, I agree with Orb in that sense. On the other, I also agree with Sherlock, in that I believe coin magic is more difficult than most other...

I can sympathise, but magicians like Lu Chen suggest otherwise - the implication simply being that you simply have to be of a certain skill level to avoid the puzzle mentality. I've posted reasonably extensively in another thread ("Two Stunning Effects") about why puzzles are bad - which is of...

Greg, With respect, I beg to differ on this point. Considering magic a puzzle is a question of mentality, one which is avoidable in my opinion. Just a small point. Congratulations on the success of iForce :)

Errr... I'm no expert on money magic, but can't a lot of bill changes be handed out at the end? o.O My impression of it is still the same though. I'll trust you on the originality of the change, but it doesn't seem to add anything to the extensive magical lexicon on the subject. It would be...

Honestly, I don't think either of the performances were better than the other. In actual fact, although I spent more time on DaveyG's video because he asked for the feedback, I didn't vote because I thought both performances had flaws which cancelled each other out.

I just had a quick look through my copy of ECT, and it looks like all those three methods should work well for you. Although, you might need some practice - I managed to do it fine, but it really started cramping up my thumb muscles after only one or two attempts.

Ah, I quite like the look of these. An interesting initiative to say the least. Thanks for that - and yes, it definitely reminds me of Aladdins!

I've heard good things from a guy who goes by the username mini magician, a very good friend of mine. If he doesn't see this thread, send him a PM.

Shane, I'm very glad to hear that you and your family are safe, and that you're getting back on track. Best wishes :)

Great thread. Expresses a lot that I wish I could express to every person starting a "Getting into mentalism" thread. This should be referred to everyone who posts such a thread, though I'm not surprised it's been shifted down the thread list. Perhaps this proves a point, or at least supports...
