Really? Everyone here likes this? I don't own it but I thought of a method the second I watched it and if it's the same thing, I just don't think it could actually fool anyone. Sorry, but this seems completely unimpressive to me. And everyone saying it IS really simple and that you'll kick...

All I can say is this: well done for not giving up. I used to ride a bike loads. One day I had a bad crash. I don't think I've ridden a bike since then, about 4 or 5 years ago. It's a shame, but still. If I'd got up, I'd still be cycling now. I learned from that - always get up. Never leave...

I loved delusion. Very nice. Boxer seemed a little fishy though when you made the jack vanish from on top of the box; too much fumbling. Apart from that, very nice.

Yeah, agreed.

Wow that's great, mind if I use that? Sinful, my usual performance would be something along the lines of this: Do angle zero and make the corner vanish. As far as the audience, this is the trick finished. Start my next trick, a mentalism one. Pass them a sealed envelope and force a card on...

The pass, as stated. In fact, you could just cut the deck on an offbeat.

At the moment, the Erdnase Double Palm Change is a thing of beauty. It isn't instant nor visual as the shapeshifter and snapchange are, but it's much more impressive, imo. Check out page 152 of the Erdnase Bible, for those not in the knowhow. On the other hand, shapeshifter is probably the...

Hey Romeo, thanks for sharing. My story seems slightly boring compared to that but I'll post anyway. Here goes. ------------------------------------- Argh! I didn't realize that today was the deadline. Anyway, here goes... My name is Adam and I like in the oh so sunny *cough cough* town of...

Being out without cards is like being out naked to me. But anyway, the centre tear works very nicely for situations like this. Paper+pen. Arm twist is a good second as well. Depends on the audience. Balducci levitation?

Sorry Brett, I couldn't really take you seriously after you picked up a deck of cards, started shuffling it and casually commented 'for this trick, I'm going to use a deck of cards.' In all seriousness Brett, I would recommend not using the hindu shuffle at the beginning. It looks fishy, seeing...

Best of luck to him and a great christmas. This sounds pretty bad, but it's good to hear that he's getting a speedy recovery. Keep it up.

Yes. Yes I have. Going to call my bluff?

I completely agree with what you said in the aspect that if you can't take constructive criticism, don't ask for it. I think it was maybe in the phrasing, as you pointed out here. Great post by the way, you do come out with some brilliant advice.

Another great essay by Prateoritevong. Whilst I agree with a lot of what you said here, I think that it is important that magicians DO have an ego to a certain extent. After all, what is magic (or any performing arts for that matter)? Look at me! Look at what I can do! Magic is, even with...

Well I feel that if it improves your magic, then it is worth using it. However, please note I say 'improves', not 'increases' or something. For example, I got just the same reactions with distortion as I did with any other two card transpo. I have a few gimmicks but I tend not to use them...

My magician friend and I recently took (in our opinions) a really bad effect (cut the deck in four piles, take three from the top of each pile then put them to the bottom, then deal a card on top of each of the other three piles - ace on top of each pile, sure you know which one I mean) and...

5 of diamonds :D

I agree with Adjones, you should have one way of doing it perfectly. It arouses less suspicion. And the point you raise here, the simple answer is that your doubles should look exactly like your singles. If you don't turn a double and a single over the same way, you should either change how you...

Ooh, very nice. You seemed very confident. I liked it.

To be honest, I very rarely approach people at school, I just sit there flourishing or show one of my friends a trick until people come and see what you're doing. Works for me. EDIT: There again, I don't go out with the purpose of showing somebody magic at school. It just happens and this suits...
