Casino cards in general are thick. Wynns are thicker than most decks. Masters edition (already said) are thick too. What do you need thick cards for? (I'm just curious) -Rik

Since you already said sponge balls. I'll say them again. They're good for all ages and will get your general level of skill up. Kids magic is tricky. Most performers are either do just kids or they do everybody else, in terms of birthdays. You have to have short tricks that hold...

Presentation. What are things people lack most often? What are things that can enhance presentation? How much time do you dedicate towards presenting your magic vs. practicing the moves or learning new tricks? A lot of advice can be given on presentation. As a group I know the members...

I like the boring legal stuff...or maybe because it's called 'boring legal stuff' Great contest though. I might throw down and try and enter this. GL to everyone who does. -Rik

I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Pretty sexy. -Rik

First of all. Organize your thoughts before you speak. This goes from forum posts to scripting magic tricks on up to phone calls with future clients. People are more likely to read, think and respond if you have an idea that has (at least the appearance) of a lot of thought behind it...

It depends on what you think you're worth. I think someone once told me Bill Malone gets something like 50,000 a show. Is it worth it to pay him that much?...they probably make that back easy with packed house and concessions. I haven't done any paid gigs, but you really have to stop...

What's up? Just browsing and saw the request.

You beat me to it. -sigh- But you spelled grammar wrong. :) Onwards, upwards and back on topic. I am currently working on two things. First is a simple two packet, one handed cut. The other is experimenting with a new, well stumbled upon at the least, way of throwing cards. Can't...

Good variation, it is a little better cleanup. And after all this practice getting the original smooth/fast cleanup...now I have to practice all over again lol. -Rik

It's fast. It's pretty. If it's silent, it's gold. But will still require a split second of misdirection. Laymen have no idea what just happened...but you can see something happen. With that, barring fully covering with one hand, it's the cleanest pass I've seen in some time. -Rik

I don't know the method, don't plan on buying it at this moment. Currently cleaning up a few other effects I've recently learned. I'm also working on my creativity-creating a few pieces of magic I can call my own. After seeing blind, I was actually fooled. Again, I don't know the method per...

That was pretty sweet. I've never seen it before either, maybe send the link in a PM to some of the t11 artists (Wayne, Chris Kenner, Bayme..etc) b/c they've all seen tons of moves over their years in magic and would have a good idea if it's been done before. I liked the video as a whole...

Yeah, I use to do the same thing. It's a common mistake actually. If Ricky Jay wasn't one of my favorite sleight-of-hand artists then I would still be making the mistake. -Rik

Just pointing out that everything said here is fantastic. But Ricky Jay wrote Cards as Weapons. -Rik

I'm not going to lie. I'm not sure what part one was like, or what the project is... But I was bored enough to stop watching by the time you got the cards out of the box. I'll go skip/watch/edit this post...but just tossing an unopened pack of bikes around is boring. There are good closed-box...

Damn...if only I could afford to fly overseas... (: Maybe sometime in the next few years. -Rik

I actually saw a different one way. The stars in the middle of the card, have white spots over the black, but they're both on the same side of the card. :rolleyes: But I also found the one way in guardians and aviators. I have too much time on my hands... -Rik

Second the motion. Very nice. -Rik

I would say that unless you have one big finale trick, like randomwrath, then another deck just seems unnecessary imo. A good alternative to bikes might be regular tally-hos. They're different from ordinary bikes. People usually choose one or the other when it comes to standard decks. (or...
