Alright... You say you are beginner/ intermediate... but that doesnt tell me jack... so ill just tell you what I recommend for anyone who asks me this. Dont buy any of these new DVDs. They are great in some ways, but they are mainly tricks. You get tips and notes on performing but it is only the...

yea but... well thats not exactly right. It wasnt "i couldnt figure it out" but "i thought it was something better/ new" There are a truck load of methods for haunted packs and this was no different. And this is kind of different. If you look at the DVDs and 1-on-1s, there are usually some brand...

Board of directors for the Magic Castle and the Academy of Magical Arts? dayum... is he that good? or does he just get the cred of a celeb? I was also wondering about the guy in Seinfeld. Hows that guy?

Hey... I never really knew that Neil Patrick Harris performed magic... I watched How I Met Your Mother but thought his magic in that was just a thing for the show... and hes not bad actually... hes decent... I found it to be quite a pleasant surprise...

Hey. So i bought Static on the DnD website and was rather disappointed. It wasnt because the method was bad but just because I thought it was something totally new. Although they do note this, this is the exact Henry Evans gimmick for rising card. So i was wondering what gave them rights to...

The effect you described was John Cornelius' Shrinking Card Case. Its freaking fun to perform. As for gimmick/ gaff books and DVDs... 5X5 Japan. New Magic of Japan, both of these are great books for gimmicked effects. Joshua Jay/ Joel Givens Sessions book is great. some heavy gimmicking, but boy...

do tell...

1. Standing around doing dribbles and flourishes is the last thing you want to do. A kid sitting alone flourishing is the equivolent of a kid playing with a Rubiks Cube in some corner. a) people wont approach you if youre flourishing alone as you just seem lonerish. b) people will think you are...

Let met just say that You should not restore that card. If you let them keep it... then its just another card and they might not remember the effect after a while. But if they take out a card with its corner ripped off ten they will always remember what you did. instead of "hey yeah. this was...

awesome.. I originally learnt this from Paul Daniels but never got the hang of it... hope this works

OH HAH that is freaking hilarious. beautiful pun. I thought of the pun of the seal and realized it was real club, just never made a connection. HAH!

I dont get the last part with the club and everything

Hm... Although I dont exactly agree with the post, I see what you mean. I think it varies a lot... I have met a bunch of dicks who stay 100% silent when you perform for them and when you finish they just nod and say "yes... ok". which suck ass... There are those who describe every move you do...

whats a dress sence? and it should work with most things... actually not really. there are a few limitations.

Isnt this just a one handed top palm? Trying not to expose but check out Vanishing Inc's One Handed Top Palm download by Alex Linian.

I love reading these things :D I personally like DM's style of flourishing more as I like flourishes where both hands work together instead of splittign then coming together again. as for the rest of the thread... i am going say... keep going.... :D

I watched the entire show yesterday. I tried to make the conditions better by watching it in pitch darkness by myself in a comfy arm chair but it didnt work.. ]; The video had an effect on me though, but it wasnt pleasant. I felt nautious and it messed with my senses. kinda weird. I could get up...

Yea... but not really... if they could make up a explanation for a force, then they surely can for GPS as well. A classic force is pure simplicity. GPS as cuts, choices, shuffles, deals. Im pretty sure someone can pick out an explanation easily from that rather than a classic force. Check out...

I didnt really like this effect. Although it was amazingly clean and totally hands off, I wouldnt say that it was practical. It is a magician fooler and thats it. Why go through all that to fool laymen? when you could just force a card and reveal it, they wont notice a difference. The method, I...

That is the most necessary thing you could ever do. A pass just as a clean up when no one is even looking? overkill right there
