Geoff Williams has a double signed TnR (one signature is yours) but it's something to look into. It's not a piece by piece restoration, but it's effective. I'd wait until Papercrane releases though, if Shane is backing it up it'll probably be practical and ridiculous (even if he didn't create...

Valid, but not complete. Smooth handling is great to have, but what you want is motivation behind your moves. I can do something smooth as butter, but if it doesn't have motivation behind it then someone will speculate as to why I did it. On the flip side, I can do a very bad job shuffling in...

This is where many magicians fail. They don't think about what they want their spectators to believe when everything is said and done.

They aren't intrigued and interested enough in the why (presentation) which leads them to focus on the how, even if they get it wrong they feel like the time spent watching was worth it. Two types of audience members who try to explain it away : The ones who want to be know-it-alls, and those...

He said T11 would carry them. Not when they'll be available. Though, taking pre-orders would ruin the event. :rolleyes:

Are you sure? 5 releases suddenly became 7. DGP could be considered one, or three... I'm just saying the math makes sense.

Your fear is good, it'll drive your magic to perfection. Just go out and perform. Start off with something solid, and deceptively simple. If it goes well, just thank them and walk away. One trick, 2 minutes, if it fails apologize and thank them for their time. Eventually you'll get...

Just watching the video, there is too much movement at too fast of a speed. I don't know the Ninja 1 teaching, but if it's to bring it up for a square and pass on the way down to normal, you might want to work on the speed of the pass. If you can switch the packets quickly then the movement...

Depends on how they say it. If they're saying 'that's gotta be a trick deck' seriously, then you might want to structure your routines/effects in a way that disproves this without you having to say anything. If they're just off-hand saying it then you might be okay

Why only 1 gimmicked card trick?

Fair enough. While certain situations do call for certain types of logic, logic in and of itself can be used universally. It isn't, for reasons seen in this thread, but it should be noted that thinking about one thing a certain way will influence your decisions on another thing (maybe not all...

I'll go ahead and be honest, I've used both custom and regular decks of cards. I settled on bicycles for many reasons, one of them wasn't 'because they don't arise suspicion'. The way you handle cards, or the types of tricks you do, will determine how your audience responds. I've performed...

Logic isn't different based on material, your ethics are, the logic is 'everybody does ____, so it's okay to do ____' To say it only applies to this one thing is your own opinion, but logically I said the same thing, just with different examples. Same logic : Different ethical discussion.

It's like they said, mix up the angles. A good way to do this is practice whatever you're doing 10 times at one angle (unless it's an entire act!) and then 10 at another, 10 at another, do them with little pause in between too (finish the first time, take a deep breath and do it again). I...

While I agree... Your logic is that of 'Everyone has done xxx so go ahead and do something similar!' 'Everyone has done marijuana, it's okay if you do it too...and everyone here is drinking under aged-it'll be okay if you take a few back...plenty of people are driving buzzed tonight-you'll...

Don't you know? He's too elite for grammar.

Paper and pencil Sugar packets Sugar packets with a knife, napkin, and salt shaker :) Impromptu cold reading (I'm currently working on more knowledge/practice, but know some good outlying principles that always amaze people) Rubber bands Pencil Cups and Balls (anything from 1 cup and 1...

On a second thought, maybe try to come up with a quick sequence with a boxed deck. It will limit your moves, but should help expand your creativity.

Side Steal Spread Control that I've been messing with Overhand Shuffle control (all of the different variations) I'm working on my spread pass as well, one I will probably use a lot.

lol you're welcome, I didn't plan on picking it up, so I figured sharing my ideas wouldn't hurt me any. Hope all is well Shane
