    New Effect?

    Dwella - a little clarity. You sign the FACE of the card and it moves to another face card? I would do as Praetoritevong...wow that is a long user name...says and look up the credits in Dominatricks - Tyler Wilson is great at credits. There are ideas like that out there - and to prevent...

    Wynns for $3.50... Is this real?

    Actually, those are the red...actually more maroon...and purple ones. They are not rare or hard to find. The Brown decks - a bit harder to get your hands on, but still not impossible...yet.

    Card College Help

    not sure if this was mentioned - as I skimmed the advice, but sometimes it is helpful to see a move in performance, which you can sometimes see by searching it - and then read it. Learning from book is a skill, but a very useful one - as it will improve you in ways that videos can't. It...

    Idea for pushover double lift

    No doubt - nice DL - but why does this feel like exposure? Oh yes, because the first post describes what it consists of - and the rest fill in the gaps. If I didn't know, I do now....that may be exposure refined and defined. Let's be more careful - dude, hope you got your answer.

    Are these 2 books worth buying?

    Thanatos - not doing something because it is hard...it like not eating something because it is healthy. It may be less enjoyable, but worthwhile in the long haul, so please don't think of terms of hard and easy - nothing in either book is out of your grasp with enough practice. Expert at...

    How do you carry around your Digital Dissolve coins?

    What I meant was - only in a forum do you ask a question and some guy (tsaro..) who doesn't even OWN the effect and gimmicks - decides to pipe in! Like Ortiz said - you ask a questoin on second dealing - and 30 guys give opinions...when in the world, there is less than a handful of guys...

    Mmm... Coin Bite

    Wow - coin bite...that is almost a self expanitory perspective on this effect. Phenom - you know what...add "2 card monte" (actually called "Be Honest What Is It, by Eddie Fletcher" and the Balducci Leviatation to your act and people will say...you are like that Blaine guy. Wouldn't that...

    Best Opener

    Hey DannyT, My approach is mine - and it is one thing that makes me different, so I won't share what I do exactly - but I will tell you this. For the most part - approach with who you are - if you are a fun guy, walk up to the table and allow that to come across...if you are serious and...

    Vent on International Shipping Prices?

    There is something to be said about companies that want to make money on the shipping as well as the item - the cost of business dictates they may have to charge a little more to cover the handling charges to get your item out the door...but I would think they would swallow that cost a bit on...

    How do you carry around your Digital Dissolve coins?

    Good point Sean - but leave it to a forum for the first guy to pipe in to have NO experience with the actual effect.

    What happened to magicians?

    and the Nitwit Magicians lives in all of us....?!

    Best Opener

    ...to add one more thing... remember, your real opener is when you approach the table...hopefully NOT with a deck of cards in your hand. The shows starts when you walk up to the table...so really....what is a good opener? How about introducing yourself - how about talking now about what you...

    Best Opener

    some really great advice jtmorris - and more to the point of what should be talked about here. Good for you! I liked these points: echnically you can open with anything, and if presented well, you can get positive reactions. But for an opener to be really good and effective, it should...

    Looking for great coin routines

    I understand you feel your post was helpful, but it was vague and really answered nothing - please don't take Cyril's silence as a one sided affiair, as it doesn't mean that your info was the most useful either. Nice circular logic though. I think using words like stupid, is a tad harsh...

    Unnecessary Patter = Useless & Irrelevant?

    Thrall and Steer~ are you loving this? Because you are giving him what he wants - attention. It's like a scab...you keep picking at it...and picking at it...it will get worse. However, if you ignore it - because we all know that the true "Garbage of the mouth" is the opinion of one person -...

    Looking for great coin routines

    Sypris - actually your response is inadequate - if you asked Nikajo to name every coin routine he knows it could be a web site of its own! The guy owns and uses EVERY Lassen/Schoolcraft gimmick out there...every coin book....and does it ALL well...well enough to be awarded – we are lucky to...

    Important Ambitious Card Question

    Wow - what a good question. I think you can see from above, there is no ONE right answer. Some people believe in the rule of three...others do every phase they know. What you really need to concern yourself with, Magic Drummer, is what the EXTERNAL reality is of the effect you are...

    What happened to magicians?

    HAHAHA. Oh man - 3 weeks. Guys - a lesson to be learned and a bit of humbling may be needed. First - the kid doesn't know any better - if he grows and learns from experience in the real world...he will be embarrassed of his posts. 3 weeks guys! We have all been there - not all of us...

    By Forces Unseen

    This video on Youtube will help you see what the audiences should see and should help you put it together. I don't know what your venues are, but I have the book...and don't use any of it....but then again, I am a minimalist. I believe magic should look moveless...even when the most difficult...

    Smoke & Mirrors : A Cordial Invitation :: Friday, Aug. 1

    I was interested to see how these would turn out - I am sad to say that this may be the first deck that I don't buy. Just looking at them, i start to feel disappointed with the colour scheme...surprise...black and white, as if that colour scheme hasn't been beaten to DEATH! Regardless, the...
