Thanks guys, Thread is one of my favorite tricks, but really would it fit into any routine? Maybe only with Torn Restored but even then... What I'm kinda thinking is starting off by introducing them to sleight of hand with maybe the french drop, and a 'pull' that I like to use to make...

Thanks Mike, and I think Thread is the best out of the tricks I've got for the routine right?

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Going with thread first would make a big impact, but wouldn't I always want a big finish? Should I start with thread and end with witness? What I've noticed from the people I've performed for, is that everyone likes card tricks but they usually respond...

Awesome video, the girls in the beginning just didn't seem into it lol.. I've run into people like that and the best thing was just to finish with my trick and let them go. For Jacob, is that a variation of the hindu force your using? It's a little angle-y and I could definitely tell what you...

Hey guys, about to do some close-up magic for some highschool kids tomorrow. After seeing some of the stuff I could do, my Uncle has asked me to come to his Art Appreciation class to entertain them. This will be my second live performance ever, so needless to say I'm a little nervous. Now...

Performing music is Magic to me. Being able to be very virtuostic and playing the drums or marimba in a way that seems impossible to people, with the applause and cheering at the finish is actually what made me want to perform magic. So whatever trick I do or vanish I accomplish I always try to...

I'm as close to Tennessee as you can get haha, and of course I missed the ones in Huntsville and Birmingham :P

I'm planning on going to see him the 19th in Memphis. Is it really as good as everyone is saying? Also is there any cost?

Thanks Mike!

Thanks man! That means a lot coming from an accomplished street magician.

Awesome post, and great advice!

So I went out for the first time today and got a little footage. The routine I went with was 2 Card Monte, Four of a Kind, and Thread Any comments would be great :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGu6tGHjNzk

Hey guys, just looking to get some criticism on my technique and handling (and hopefully win :D ). Rules: Live or Not No video editing Minimal patter *optional* Music if you want Only Cards Like I said in the title, this is my first battle. Hope I did all of the rules right.

Unfortunately I haven't spent any time on flourishing, I always thought I'd rather be doing sleights and figuring out angles. I've been trying to find Two Card Monte on here but no 1 on 1's or anything, so I need to learn that. It's pretty killer. Also Distortion looks like it would be...

This is also the book that got me really started in magic! I still like to look over it and see some of the stuff I've used and the reactions I got. Great for a beginner or anyone looking for some cool up close magic.

Thanks for all of the advice guys, I'll definitely look into some of the effects AlfieWhattamMagic suggested. And yes, my heart seems to beat pretty fast just performing for family and friends, so I can imagine doing it for some random people.

Ah, I see. I was planning on doing the hit and run with my audiences, maybe 3 tricks at most depending on how they enjoy it. Building up to a big finish hopefully, like a routine of Biddle, Witness, Thread. Or throwing in a cool coin vanish. Mostly not trying to overstay any welcome I can...

I like ACR, although it would be the effect that I would cut.

Awesome, thank you for your response! On the note of getting into the spectators hands I've been working on 'Witness' by Lee Asher and also looking at LIT. Just hoping the good people of Alabama take well to street magic..

Hey guys, had a family get-together today and tried out some tricks that I've been working on for a while. I've been wanting to go and perform on the streets and see what reactions I might get. I've pretty much been performing musically for most of my life, and have always been into magic but...
