Oh man. I had a deck of cards, and my friends wanted to play Mafia... Sigh. Now I bring two decks, an old one and a new one.

I love magic 'communities'. I don't know Rodc, and in all probability I never will, but nonetheless I wish you the best in your future endeavors - a love of music is something that I can certainly associate with., However, it would still be hypocritical of me if I didn't point out, as per my...

You've obviously got the authority as a magician to have them hanging onto your every performance. So use the same authority and simply tell them not now. School is more important, obviously.

RD, the essential concept is that of misremembering an event, and, like Ineski, it's a concept I use very often. For example, false shuffle briefly, and ask someone to cut the deck. "Cut the deck a few good times for me please." After they have cut the deck, tell them "A very fair mix, thank...

MLB.Augustus' post confirms a few things I hate regarding a large number of the cardistry community. Immaturity, for one. And what's this about "Forums are bad, therefore go to U.C."? Surely that's a little ironic. And how about the name "United" cardists? Third thread from the top in the...

It's pretty clear that he didn't give you permission I think. But why don't you go ask him again then, straight up? Your examples are very misguided. Daryl and Sankey are professional magicians who sell their material. They give you the right to perform their material upon purchase. The key...

A cardistry forum. Or Jerry Cestkowski's closet.

docd9, don't get these guys wrong. They probably could've gone a little easier on you, but please realise: you're not being criticised for being offensive - you're being criticised because your actions are not commensurate with what appear to be what you want to achieve. I'm sure you can...

Whilst what Z-Magic said is true - don't take it too hard - I agree with chris that it's probably a problem with your presentation, or more specifically, your performing persona. Without knowing much about you, make sure you know for yourself the type of performer you are, and how you want to...

Hahahahahahaha. That's bloody brilliant.

No-one wants to talk to the bloody spectator? Well, I guess that's just me then. It was a silly thought anyway. Incidentally - TKH, that was completely inappropriate. You don't have a clue about Sinful07, so don't bother judging him or anyone else. And quoting De'vo whilst branding someone else...

Out of curiosity, where have you performed this? And two questions: Do you work with the set up ready all day? And secondly, do you perform other effects within the same routine? I quite enjoyed the thinking but doubt I'd use it simply because I find too many small practicality issues - if we...

All my material is original because I take common effects and through my personal creative vision for my performances, create something unique to myself. I do not take the effects of performers I see - unless specifically given the effect for a purpose (testing an effect, etc.). I certainly...

Ahite man, I trust you know what you're doing then. Best of luck searching for it. :)

Bro. John Hamman. :)

Alternatively, you could distinguish yourself from the other 99 people by going up and talking to the spectator. But then again, maybe that's just me.

Shoot me. [Word count]

Because it's not enough to admire a magician - you have to dig up all his best effects and take them for yourself too. Knowing the trick won't make you as good as him, if anything, copying makes you worse. It's the magician who makes the trick, as they say.

Haven't seen a "mentalism" battle for a while. Should be interesting. But please, please, for the love of God, or any other deity you so wish, or not if you prefer, please perform mentalism rather than a magician's mental magic. lol. Can't wait to see it, good luck guys.
