In accordance with what Alfie said, You can always just perform a very simplistic torn & restored Leaf, albeit with quite a big leaf. Just handle it like a torn & restored newspaper of some sorts. It will create a lot of talk afterwards, especially if you pluck a live leaf from a nearby tree.

Congrats for being a mod! P.S. I think I wana get Loki soon...

Are there any good alternatives or variations of the switch taught in One Man Routine? I would rather fold the billet in quarters rather than 16th's. I was thinking of Luke Jermay's peek from penguinmagic.

I use Si Stebbins (if I ever use stacked deck). Minimal memory is required, spectator can cut the deck as many times as they wish, and many tricks can be accomplished. It performs all the effects I want as a mentalist flawlessly, and seems (SEEMS) inspectable to spectators. I would recommend...

Sounds good. I'll be putting on a birthday mentalism show for my friend in August. Planning to use Annemann's routine. Any advice?

Hi DICER. How's life? Got my PMs? Miss chatting with ya!

Absolutely agree with you Draven. All the audience wants to do is be entertained; who cares if you did a pass or a double lift? I swear if I did both to my audience, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Thinking of it this way: If I can do a perfect DL, it would look (to my spec) that...

1ismorethanenough, Do you plan on practicing from Friday till Sunday, then going out to perform? I wouldn't recommend you to do that. You will need to practice the sleights AND audience management. Just expect more than 3 days to practice.

j.bayme, but single mentalism pieces would lead others into mentalism on the wrong foot, and if released would only provide a wrong starting step into mentalism. That's the whole point that Steerpike and DICER constantly stand by; that starting mentalism requires certain steps and material...

@Sciffydof I like your last idea =D Seriously, if I ever plan my show I'd take yours into consideration. @James Kellogg You have to take DICER's advice and let him clean up your track list for you. It will be a considerable effort on your part, but I'm sure DICER will guide you through with a...

Nottingham PDF Hello All, this is my second review. I am reviewing a PDF by Cody Nottingham. I hope this will give you some insight on Nottingham's insights. Haha. My difficulties and practicality ratings are totally opinionated, so please just take them as additional pieces of...

Such an interesting topic...I MUST revive this thread! Prae...did Tom answer?

David, I'm truly thankful and happy for you to hear that you have treated your life just as you have treated Mentalism; with respect and care, and such an accurate view of both. You have been an inspiration to me in Mentalism, and I respect you for all that you have taught me. Now you know...

So hard to decide...it looks SO good, yet there are still negative reviews...*sigh* If I were to buy only 1 rubberband trick in the entire world of "under-$15-tricks", would LINX be it? (that rhymes)

I now respect you, Oh great Keoke.*Chinese fist-palm gesture of respect* Those ARE good advice, especially liked RealityOne's effect. He should sell it. Now I'm officially done with this thread. Thanks again!

Draven, where'd you get Bob? I got Jimmy from my school janitor. I now keep Jimmy in my pencilcase, and I feed him card corners that I used for Angle Zero.

@Keoke I really wasn't skimming Mr. SilverFang :( I swear. Mind quoting them so I can reread those memorable posts? Thanks.

After a few pages without the threadstarter, I'd like to know if Wangruo is still here, or of doing better things than reading 14 pages of debating and reasoning. Don't worry, I've read all 14 pages. I haven't learned a thing since the 2nd page though...

So when the spectator asks incredulously "How did you do that?!" Should I reply "Magic!" or Should I reply "I am actually twisting the natural forces of nature by sending a card up through the deck and to the very top of the deck." Isn't it more magical (sometimes at least) for the...

I will make my ring finger disappear by bending my joints at a weird angle. I have no idea what's the name of the trick. Never ceases to get: 1) a laugh 2) a gasp 3) both Then they REALLy gasp when I do it on THEIR ring finger. They don't know what hit them.
