Knowing how bad wishes can go I wouldn't mess with anything; the movie Bedazzled comes to mind, along with any tale involving a trickster. If I was forced to make wishes, or caught up in the moment, you know what...I don't really see myself making wishes because I see the flip-side on most of...

I like the presentation. Not something I would use, how presidents died and all, but it does make more sense than a silent video. I would have to see a live video with you going through it to really capture it, but I can see some of the justifications now. Yeah, it was impressive with the low...

"Let's Face it" While being able to handout anything you want is novel (I suppose, I'm no bill change expert, and I'm not 100% what you mean by that) I prefer the look of Danny Garcia's Greed. The movements and cover of the bills was too much-the changes are nice, but the handling could be...

I'm going to go ahead and advocate the purchase of Jason England's 1-on-1 for the double lift. He goes over 4 great double lifts, one for sure doesn't need a break, and tons of advice on the double lift in general. Royal Road is a great resource, I'd also look into getting Card College Volume...

Thanks for the BDay shout out Hope everything is going well with you and your magic

Thanks Ced, All is well...except having to work on my birthday (took last Friday off instead). Hope everything's going well on your end, I'll be in touch

Andrew Mayne, Sean Fields, and Dan Sperry all have material you might like. PK wise: Spin and Power Word:Fall seem like great effects (I don't own them, check out other peoples reviews) and also take a look at Dee Christopher's site (also PM him about anything PK related, he'll send you in a...

Only watched it once, and I'll probably send you a more detailed PM about it with more in depth critique, overall it was good. The first effect (well mentalist call the first effect 'you') was great. You introduced yourself, got everyone clapping and let them know it's okay to clap and have a...

Taking the original post, with its question, away from the discussion that followed (haven't had enough time to digest, so I don't have an opinion as of now) I will give this tid-bit of advice. The effect was performed very well (toying with the microphone stand could be considered slightly...

I don't have David Stone's Ghost, but you could always go into something that isn't cards.

There are ways to open a deck and set it up and then have it back looking completely sealed. Daniel Madison put a way to do this in one of his PDF's (heck if I can remember which one...I'll glance through them when I get home) E's deck seals are a good idea, but I've never needed them (there...

Pairs has potential for one on one or small groups, you'd have to play it up and I plan on messing with the handling some. The Psycho deck is definitely a killer if you put the work into it, it's something I might just play around with. Since I already own most of the psychological forces...

I keep a list of things that I want to purchase and every once in a while I'll go through and see if anything on it still seems like a good buy. Most of the time I have books (I'm so poor) that I want to purchase and can't afford off-hand every single day so I have to decide what book to...

Clearing off a shelf on a bookshelf might be high enough, if it's deep enough to hold the laptop. I have a video camera and tripod so I don't have to worry about this, but that would be my suggestion.

This is true, but who said you had to have a selection in the most-used sense of the term. I know that you're a mentalist so you wouldn't use it the same as a magician but I've developed a presentation around Pete McCabes 'Echoes' trick, which is in his book Scripting Magic, the presentation...

I've been working with a marked deck for 4 or 5 months and haven't regretted any of it. Learning how to effectively hide the method through structure and presentation is the real key to marked decks, because looking at a marking and saying the card aloud is both the worst and best trick you can...

Very true, one of my favorite talks on creativity was a TED presentation. It's been posted before, but I'll post the link anyway. Ken Robinson TED Talk

That was entertaining. Tweak it here and there but overall it was amazing. You're pretty quick out of the straight jacket too, for a legit escape it was phenomenal, speed without making it look too easy. (Just watching I'm assuming it was legit, don't let me down!) I've been saving up to buy...

I'm not an expert, so I'll let someone more knowledgeable recommend DVD's or books, but I do know that depending on your needs with vary which method of holdout you'll need. A card and a coin need different holdouts, as well as any object, and where you're wanting to retrieve the item from...

Mp3 Player is at home, but off the top of my head (always shuffle, no order): Fly from the Inside - Shinedown Graffiti The World - Rehab Til We Die - Slipknot Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park Cure for the Itch - Linkin Park Happy - Sister Hazel Overrated - Less Than Jake Italian Radio...
