    Presentation Idea For Biddle Trick

    Well, you are missing on couple of things. First, I never said that this is the end all of the biddle trick presentation, it is only an idea (as the title says) to spark the creativity. Second, you are comparing me and Roberto Giobbi, I will take that as a compliment, but I have been into magic...

    Presentation Idea For Biddle Trick

    Yeah, the ideas for presentations are great. But the methods are..... not. I mean, bluff pass + classic pass, riffling and classic forcing... I mean, you can also tell them to place a card in the middle, do a classic pass to the top, palm a card out, tell them to shuffle, than replace a card...

    My Full Show

    I think that spectators, at the end of the show, said everything. I really enjoyed the show from the spectators point of view.

    Presentation Idea For Biddle Trick

    Haha, yeah. The main thing about acting, is not to act at all (I know that sounds weird). Because if you try to act, you will do one of those things (over react, or under react). Just put yourself in a state that you see the trick that you are performing, for the first time, and it will be much...

    Suspension of Disbelief

    Magic is not for your audience to buy... Magicians buy magic (ok, not funny)... Anyways, even if they don't buy the whole supernatural idea, if you present it correctly, they won't think that you are full of s***, but they will enjoy it. I know I would. So, it's not about the spectators buying...

    Presentation Idea For Biddle Trick

    I really like the way you talk (write) man :D Sure, be free to use any part of my patter. But it is also intended to be a starting machine for your own presentation. Main problem is that we try to act TO MUCH, like in soap operas. When we need to act surprised, we tend to widen our eyes, make...

    Suspension of Disbelief

    Sure, I get your point. I'm just seeing magic more related and "in the same category" (for lack of a better term) with mythological/harry potter type of presentation, than modern scientific one. But, whichever one you choose, don't go to the far extreme. Don't walk around dressed as a Merlin...

    Presentation Idea For Biddle Trick

    Thanx RD, I'm glad you liked it. I always had this feeling about the biddle trick, that it is not natural enough, or is not motivated enough, or something... I always had that feeling of something missing. As I couldn't figure out what that was, I started from scratch, and came up with this...

    Suspension of Disbelief

    I don't really see what is your main point (due to the lack of my understanding of English language, not due to your point). But if I think that you're saying what I think you're saying (see what I meant about my English?), than I agree. I think that pseudo-science and admitting to trickery have...

    Presentation Idea For Biddle Trick

    I know that there has been a lot of threads on this, and that everybody has like a thousand type of patter and presentation for the "biddle trick". But here, I will share mine... It would be best if the biddle trick was the second trick in your routine, but this patter can go really well if...

    I gave you what?!

    Yeah, you're a bad man lol... But I really hope that you respond to her in a way that it is better she left those memories forever... I mean, she is your best friends girlfriend. You can't change what she feels or think, but you can change the way that is going to be... (I know this has nothing...

    Magic in Public

    Exactly. I spent almost year and a half, locked up in my room, practicing every single day. I got all of the sleights down (beginner sleights thou), and could do them with my eyes pointed to the sky (it's a lot harder then when you close them). Anyways, I got moves down, I got patter down (I...

    Timeline 2.0 question

    I wouldn't recommend that, because spectator can catch a glimpse of a card that they said stop to, and suddenly it's different card.

    Timeline 2.0 question

    The first move is done really really fast. I'm more concerned about the sound of the move, than the visual aspect. I have a few little nuances that will make the move just fly by. As for the second move, it's not that hard really. If anyone needs any help with any of those moves (or both), just...

    Moving 1000 miles away, any advice?

    Sorry man, that sounds like a really tough times. Everybody has his own way of dealing with stuff like that. I will tell you mine, but you may not like it: First of all, you will have to find some way to get rid of that ex. I guess she is the main part of your troubles. Delete everything...

    7 Deadly Sins Project

    You missed one (repeated one twice). 7 Deadly Sins: "Lust", "Gluttony", "Greed", "Sloth", "Wrath", "Envy", and "Pride". I will try to think of something, but I'm mainly a card magician, so it will be a card trick with a patter for one of the sins. edit: You can use a variation of "Kanibal...
