It is well known that ostriches dig their head in the sand when they don't want for somebody to see them. They are thinking "If I don't see them, they won't see me either." And vice versa "If I can see something, others will see it too"... There is this fear when you do snap change, tenkai...

Haha, yeah, I guess you are right... But we can at least try. Or we can ignore "pointless" threads, and let those threads go into the realm of Forgotten. You mean like the system in the media section? Yeah, that would be useful... There is nothing wrong with that type of cliche's. I know...

Kevin, if you want a thread that will improve art of magic, maybe you should make one of your own, or at least comment on one of those threads, and not on this one... I started couple of threads about presentation and such, and got like 5 responses, maybe you should dig one up and comment...

Doug, did you encounter a situation when they put the cards in their pocket "the wrong way"? Edited by Sinful for slight exposure. I'll post a response answering your question though. And did anybody, when they took all 13 cards form their pocket, put the hand back in immediately to see if there...

What is the difference between Search and Destroy DVD, and the one in Paper Engine? I own Paper Engine, so I need to know if I need to buy DVD Thanx

Ok....Um.....Nevermind :rolleyes:

For cards in box motivation, just act if the trick really is going in that direction, as if you need to put them in the box aka. the casual manner that someone above said. And just say this: "Oh, I forgot to let you count the cards, that is only fair... Ten cards? Ok. Lets just put them back...

I will probably go on a "Royal Caribbean" that departs from Miami, or I will be in Greece (Mediterranean). I will try to get a hold of that book, thanx. And thanx on the advice for the comment card, didn't know about those. I will definitely do that ;) Thanx guys

Can the invisible (whatever it is) break? Like invisible loop or thread? And if it does brake, can you fix it?

In a couple of months I'm going to go on a cruise ship. Either as a Casino Dealer, or as a Magician. Is there any magicians who work, or have worked at a cruise ship to help me out with some tips? Or if you know something about it, please share... I will be close up restaurant magician...

What about Derren Brown's 3 card routine? ;)

Well, yeah, that is definitely a way to go... But between the two that he mentioned, I would go with David Stone... IF he doesn't want card tricks...

80% of the effects on TA is with cards. So I would go with David Stone, because there are more coin tricks there...

Maybe we are steering away from original point of this thread, but you are right. I will still use "scientific" approach and presentation, and if someone calls it magic, than that's even better; instead of doing "Wizard" presentation and then hope that people will believe I did real magic...

I was going to open a thread about that, but I can just continue here... What you just described was a "scientific presentation/explanation" of an effect, not magical. And I totally support scientific types of presentation, they are more "logical" and believable. This thread goes neck to...

Sure, in the right circumstances and with right audience (like I said), anything is possible. We are on the same page there. I was referring to the audiences in restaurants or pizza places, because I think that OP is talking about those kind of audience and setting...

My not so good English will probably destroy the point I'm trying to make, but here it goes... People are not stupid. They know it's some kind of a trick. They don't know "how?", but they know that it was some kind of a trick. So I wouldn't be so offended if someone called it a trick, instead...

I saw your performance, and you are nothing like I imagined you. Physically and performance vise. But good performance non the less. I guess it's my turn now for a video...

Yep, it's just a classic pass done really really fast and smooth. He even sells a DVD + weights which builds your hand and finger muscles. They are a 5 (some kind of metal) plates that have dimensions like a deck of cards... Oh, and the one where he leaves a card face up, that is a top card...

Thanx But scillydof said that, I just put it in my sig ;)
