I dont know I probably hit For Andruzzi about 80 90% of the time. But with anything that has to do with psych forcing or suggestion it comes down to cooperation with the spectators and yourself. The only piece of advice I can give you is to be completely confident with the method.

Thanks Dee (I love the fact you quoted my typo and did not fix it). I have to agree that everything that we do as magicians, mentalists or just regular people has an inbuilt suggestion. Exploiting it is what makes magic work

I thought I might as well drop in and add my two cents worth. Very few established mentalists even use the suggestion premise, and in the great scheme of things only recently has mentalism been preformed with a 'scientific' type presentation. By that I mean reading people influencing them and...

Not to rain on anyones parade but this question is inherently flawed. The choice of your completely propless performance should be dependent on who your are performing for. If I got thrown up on stage I would use Touching on Hoy, however if it was just for one person I would do something...

Trust me if you get For Andruzzi there is a 90% chance you will be disappointed with the method. However if you like the method and see its strengths you will see it is a far superior effect. You can use control for the first phase of For Andruzzi and more often then not us Control for just...

1. Get a street performance license. 5. Card tricks play very small so be wary of that. 6. Fiber Optics is great 7. D'Lites if it is evening show. More to come when I wake up probably.

I whole heartedly agree with King of Cards This sleight is beautiful in the right hands and very nice in the passable ones. However the other day I saw someone do a routine which used it and it was not bad, however the problem came that he tried to do a classic pass and it was dreadful...

Pure Effect is for serious thought not really for someone starting out. If you payed for an ebook version you got swindled as the seller would have produced it illegally. The real book is going for 300 on ebay and I assume that you would have paid less for that. That alone should send up some...

100 ft rope escape

Maven's colour series is easy to find as it was recently reprinted as PRISM. I would recommend NOT getting 13 steps to begin with. There is just too much information in it and a lot of the routines will scare you. Fundamentals is amazing and you should defiantly look into it. However as a...

The point I was trying to put forward is that you made (atleast to your friend) the billet the whole focus of the effect. Where in reality it should have been all in the spectators mind. You focused too much on the move and lost a lot of what billet work and to a lesser extent all magic is...

I have dropped into this thread a few times thinking about what to say. Leaving the business card behind was your only mistake, and that was only because you treated the billet completely wrong. You spent too much attention to it which caused your friend to be suspicious towards it. Bob...

You can use it easily on stage by using your body to block off the bad angles

Magic can be a huge help in interviews for many reasons, however you need to know where to draw the line. There are many do's and don'ts regarding this topic. However the biggest thing though is just knowing when to stop. If they ask about it answer their question as directly as possible...

Daniel Madison has one called Lapse that can be found in ONE and Dangerous. I personally prefer the handling in one though.

I know there is one on Lake Tahoe Bar Magic with Randy Wakeman

The Hoy book test is amazing it is just so bold. Joshua Quinn has so many nice ones in Paralies. Marc Spelmann has probably one of the fairest one in 101108

Madison gives ideas or making up to 16 cards on his infliction gimick

There are a few things going on in this situation that I can see. Firstly making dinner for a week is not a huge deal, eventually you will have to do it everyday for yourself. I don't think that the problem was you not telling your mum the method but more the fact that you were blunt and rude...

Banachek has done a routine with acid. The one with the foam cups is just as dangerous as any other method. A one in four chance you can get seriously hurt.
