Press really is only half the game. That's why I'm sorta iffy on her. I'm not discounting her skills or right to call herself a magi, don't get me wrong. I'm just not sure I'd consider her famous. Not in the same way I'd look at Penn, Teller, or Cyril. ...Yet.
I wouldn't really group ekatatrina in the same file as penn teller and Cyril. She's a card juggler and yes she's good at it but I've never seen her do a show piece. Maybe she's D list?
Wait a tick... Are you doing this as an entertainment piece where you're showing people how they get cheated or are you actually trying to learn this to cheat people?
Please advise.

Llyod unfortunately this thread isn't related to magic, and because of that is against the forums goals and ambitions. Far to many threads have gone before this with equally good intentions to show this thread any exceptions.
I vote is to maintain the status quot set forth by previous examples...
Respectfully this is off subject, and I don't think it'll do well here. Most threads that aren't somehow magic related usually get closed or deleted. I can respect what you are trying to do, but I wouldn't be surprised if this thread doesn't last long.
Well performing for teenagers, especially your peers can be rough. They know you personally so they feel they can take liberties with you that they may not with others. The biggest thing you have to remember is it's your show, you are in control. If you know giving the deck to the spectator...
Or a mission impossible where you do a trick in extreme conditions as a challenge or experement. Ie: bizarre for a church group or card tricks for kindergardners or get a girls number by using a magic trick etc.
Also while I'm here, I know you guys talk about upcoming product launches but seriously If you guys aren't doing product reviews then you're missing out on a huge opportunity. Perhaps a learn a trick project where someone takes a new product that's coming out, learns it, and performs it in the...
Oh you're working for Theory11 interactive now? Congratz!
1) The new show looks great. I think it was worth the wait.
2) I would would like to see you use an old porcelain doll and failing that, a child's doll of some type. Creepier the better.
3) Honestly man I am not the person to ask...
If I'm out and about on casual, deck of cards and Heirloom set up in my wallet. If I'm out to impress, then Secret Key, and Loops may get added into that mix.
Tell you what... if the boys over there at Skulkor want to send me a product they want reviewed I'll do it absolutely for free and I'll be brutally honest with what I think of the entire thing. From product quality, to practicality, performance for a live audience, price, and website. However...
Not really. There's no story, no plot, no rhyme or reason. You just dump a tic tak from an empty container into your hand, for all I know you had it in finger palm. There's no patter only music, so over all I'm pretty meh about the entire thing.
Hmm. I've seen this somewhere before but I can't remember where. Maybe it was Jeff Prace? or Danny Garcia? Bah, I can't remember.
Oh yes, ps. Please post a performance video sometime. I would love to see something more than music, and a decapitated chest shot.
It's hard to critique this video. As Red pointed out, it's been sped up. I really can't give you honest feed back on it. Do you have the original raw footage you could post?
