    Flourishes versus deck life

    another idea is if you have the money look into a card press, if you dont, use your 3 volumes of Art of Astonishmet and put the cards under them. it works too.

    // Official 1-on-1 Discussion Thread \\

    technically the original 1-on-1 page did say this is updated EVERY friday with new material, however since its been redesigned that promise disappeared, but i do agree we dont need new stuff every friday just information about whether or not there will be. I was really enjoying the mid-week...

    New 1-on-1 tonight?

    which part exactly is ignorant? I agree that a 1-on-1 on theory would be great, however its a much more subtle concept and few people would take the time to really grasp the ideals trying to be set down, and be honest, how many people do you think would actually buy it. I am not saying that...

    New 1-on-1 tonight?

    are you saying that just because you created the unofficial "official" 1-on-1 thread? anyways we ask because not everyone likes to chill out waiting up till 11. and besides why's it a big deal? anyways i dont see the point in a coin on shoulder 1-on-1. there is no secret method, just timing...

    One Coin Routine Ending

    1. vanishing it completely is a great way to start clean for your next routine. if your in a table situation lapping would be by far the best way. look into some old vid's of Slydini for inspiration 2. It isn't the most powerful but that also depends on presentation, if you look into...

    One Coin Routine Ending

    no you dont need a duplicate. Just play with some methods and some simple patter and build up and you have plenty of time to load it. you could also try a variation on the chip on shoulder with the coin. If you incorporate a silk you could do david stone's shoe load which always kills. i get...

    Suggestions for openers?

    biddle, a quick triumph, 2 card monte, here then there since you can open with it prepared. I would NOT suggest opening with an ACR. An ACR should be a powerful multiphase routine if your doing it, it should take time, and an opener should be visual and QUICK, while an ACR you should take your...

    Touching / Grabbing During Effect

    im 6 feet tall, just hold the cards too high to be touched. but seriously, its all about audience control. even little kids can be conditioned and controlled when dominance is established though interaction, body language and talking. Also consider involving them in an early trick, this...

    multiple flicker

    you could try messaging doug directly. he might have some idea's being that its his baby. but anyways, i think it would be quite difficult to do it with more than 2 coins as the beauty of the effect is in its openess and clean display. its much harder to conceal more using the flicker hold...

    Wedding Reception Performance

    french kiss is a good idea. Ring in string and any other ring work is a great theme in magic. Anniversary waltz is a great effect for new couples and Autograph is a great version of that trick. Bite Me by david stone is a killer effect when your wardrobe requires a jacket anyways, and a...
