he can't have a swiss army knife?

*and doing my best to apply what i'm reading to my performances and after performances. sorry thought that was implied :p ;):):rolleyes:

Allan Ackerman Advanced Card Control Series Vol 3: Controls, you'll never go wrong. its a entire dvd set made a while back, (at least 20 years). so its full of old classic moves, and effects hardly anybody is familiar with. you'll be one of the few guys around using some of this stuff. well...

i always knew i wasnt alone! Archer was a blast! i agree, distancing the two would help, but its supremely difficult for an ametuer (spell check wont help me spell it :confused:) who performs mostly for high school classmates. i've just started the character refinement this year, so your...

Do any of our resident mentalist perform with a comical character? i've always been attracted to mentalism. the idea of reading somebodies mind has always appealed to me. i've wanted to at least perform some mental effects with the rest of my magic. but when ever i try, the mentalism always...

what he said. or, try to connect them, see if any of your cardistry cuts have any special properties you could adapt to magic. EX: my favorite sybilesque cut is a complete false cut. i've also been working to add a control to this cut, it works with three or four packets. stuff like that...

you know buddy. i would have been a lot more sympathetic if you hadn't created two accounts.

haha what a cheerful yet spiteful post. hope to see you around soon brad.

max blew my mind. that elbow shuffle thingy....crazy

that and coin magic. some beginner coin magic would be nice.

performing is my favorite!

their practically the same. there might be some slight differences you'll notice at first because their new. but their the same. go for some classy cards. not 'cool' cards. check out Praetoritevong's signature..(it shouldnt be hard to find) the one about what does your deck say about you...

oops sorry guys.

wow i just bumped an old one on one ideas thread to give riffle stacking as an idea. anyways i learned the little bit of riffle stacking that i know from Allan Ackermans advanced card control Vol. 5 shuffle work.

i had a sweet idea for a one-on-one so i figured i'd bump an old thread as opposed to starting a new one. my idea is... Riffle Stacking!! i already do very simple riffle stacking. two cards in two shuffles for my texas holdem/ black jack gambling demo. but man. more than two is tough...

recently in a debate in the cardistry forum i posted this as my own....Webster's (get it!?)... definition of art. those thoughts the way they all come together. hit me that day as i read all the responses to what art is. and my magic has never been the same.

its actually very similar to this fan. sorry i didnt get a video up. and for some reason notifications arent getting sent to my email so i don't know when somebody else posts on this thread that i subscribed to. so i'm going to go make a video right now. (right after i go do this...and this...

wow that really screws with my conception for the control. i don't own it, but it sparks my interest often.

gotta love light-hearted banter after a heated debate!

the skill levels of the material you listed are extremely broad. royal road is THE beginner card book. you have the pass pinky count and double lift all in one list to! doesnt make much sense to me. anyway i'm working my way through the entire ackerman advanced card control series this...
