Hello there, card magic forum. I have an interesting and important question to ask you! I'm beginning to take card magic more seriously, attempting to practice a sophisticated approach to the art. As such, I have decided to take David Devant's approach and learn a few tricks well instead of...

I checked out yours and it doesn't really suit my style, but you've got some interesting ideas man. I don't classify a one-card collectors plot as a true collectors plot; I'm talking about a trick wherein four cards trap three. I forgot about Fisher's! I have his book somewhere and need to dig...

ChristopherT - I really need to pick up that set, Benjamin Earl is crazy good. WalkingHollow - I was talking about the one in the Trilogy, but both are too flourishy for my tastes. And, in my opinion, the Trilogy one isn't a true collectors plot.

Aside from Syd Segal's (which I am looking at) and the Bucks's, what are some good versions of the Collectors plot? I don't want an overly flourishy routine (like Kevin Ho's or the Bucks's), but rather something like Segal's. I'd like it to have a rather straightforward look. Thanks!

What is the most difficult flourish you've ever done? What is your thought process for creating new flourishes? Where would you like to see the cardistry scene in five years versus where you think it's headed?

That is not what I meant either, haha. I meant to articulate my point of view that using the date is now cliche and, to me, uninteresting. I can tell it's tongue-in-cheek, though, and thankfully, the material looked interesting. I tried downloading it again and it didn't work. Shame, I'd...

By that, I meant using it for promotion. It's an overused and tired technique. While it might be a good file, my reader can't open it, perhaps it's because I'm on a Mac.

Another group capitalizing off the false doomsday. Unoriginal and uninteresting. Anyway, I couldn't even open the PDF.

Honorable mention = awesome! Nice job, Josh, you could put THAT on the Wire!

This is my first Wire experience, but I definitely understand the causes of the backup. I can see both sides: the mildly perturbed patience of the artist and the frantic rush on T11's side to get everything done. I think it's awesome that T11 takes the time to have the Wire and judge each...

True, but the casual factor of it lends to a more relaxed environment. I didn't consider lapping, I might have to try that. I was considering card tricks done on the table with some mixed-in coin stuff, as I'll most likely be standing.

No problem man, haha.

Ah, alright. I'm a card man, though I'm not terribly shabby with coins, I simply have focused on card magic. My performance style is straightforward - that is, I don't put on a character or persona, but am rather myself with an extra bit of presentation, if that makes sense. I prefer casualness...

Tyler, I did in my last post. Rick, sorry I never got back to you on the meeting, I've been busy with work. The show is next Friday at around 8:30 PM, and I mostly have my material down, I simply need refinements. I don't drive, however, so that might be a bit of an issue haha. If you want to...

You're going to smack yourself when you figure this out, haha. You need to click "Upload & Submit", then the files will upload and the effect will be sent to T11. It stumped me for a few minutes as well, don't worry.

That was a bit of good-humored sarcasm, I meant no distate. And I appreciate the advice, but you're coming off rather harshly. At least, that's the vibe received, I apologize if that isn't so. As far as set-up for the event, I'll likely have a small table to use. The lighting is fluorescent...

But if you hadn't noticed, I listed a few of the tricks I plan on doing. I thought I could get some input on any additional material that would be good for a small crowd. I'll check out French Kiss, but it might not be the right venue for it. And thanks for the wishes, lax.
