    Spotting the Double Lift

    Couple of things you could do which would all help. Firstly, make sure you're getting your break out of sight. Before performing a double lift, there should be no focus on the deck whatsoever, so no-one should even be looking in that direction. Also, try tilting the deck downwards towards the...

    NW Routine Ideas

    I close my walkaround set with the first trick from Corinda, which is basically exactly what you said. But I mean, if you're thinking about NW, they are really only there for one purpose - the only way to diversify what you're doing is to diversify the context in which you do them - i.e...

    1 or 3?

    Ok... To generalise... Three is more suited towards advanced card workers. One is more suited towards less advanced card workers. One hands you everything on a platter - you get brilliant routines, ideas, concepts, etc. Three, you have to work towards. It gives you an array of sleights...

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

    Then, quite simply, this thread is not for you. This thread is for the people who are dedicated to improving their magic - to extend beyond the 98%. As someone said earlier - perfection is not attainable, so why not aim for the 100% instead of the 98%? It's about what I wrote in one of my...

    Selflessness - One Precursor to Apathy

    Here comes another long one folks, so... yeah. This actually isn't a new topic per se - a large part of this post is build upon a post I've made previously. But thinking about it recently, I think that it's important enough to deserve its own topic. There seems to be this budding wave of...

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

    See, this is exactly the point of Morgician's thread. Some people are happy to be average magicians, and are happy to not be the best they can be. They're happy, in other words, to reside in the depths of mediocrity. That is your choice. For everyone else, who wants to aim high, who wants to...

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

    Jet - How is that egotistical? There's a bit of an illogical step there that someone who wants to be remembered *must* be egotistical, right? Wrong! I understand what you're saying about wanting to have fun. But there seems to be a misconception that someone who aims high must be egotistical and...
