Edit: Let me rephrase this: Could I buy J.S.Berry's Topits and Pockets dvd and without purchasing anything else (well, fabric and thread etc obviously), make a topit? Or would I have to buy the super set to be able to use any of this? Just wondering...

Just my thoughts on a couple of these: Exile I don't own but have heard bad things about. Don't get me wrong, it looks great and if you don't mind the method not being perfect, go for it. But from what I have read, it looks better that it is. Control: I own this and wow. I have only ever...

Hey, I've been looking into getting a topit fitted along with purchasing a topiting dvd. Only problem is that I've read that if you get one maker's topit, you can't use another maker's dvd. With this in mind, which topits + dvds are regarded the best by people? Any recommendations would be...

Isn't this what every magician should try to do? I mean, why perform magic if the impression you give off says 'everyone can do this, it's actually really easy.' That kind of seems like the whole point to me...

Wrong section sorry. This should be in the battle forum.

Try VLC media player. It can play pretty much anything.

Yes but for that trick, it doesn't matter if the deck's set up. Seriously, it looks so much neater.

Sorry Magicpros I just remembered one other little thing that bugged me about your trick. At the start, you have to go through the deck and find the four aces. This slows the whole trick down and quite frankly looks messy. If you know you are going to do a trick with the four aces, have them set...

Well the thing with your scenario is that everyone knows the professionals. Lets take Bob Smith for example. He has been working professionally for 15 years but has no books or dvds put. Now he goes on Theory11 and sees somebody ask a question. Bob answers. Now Wayne Houchin comes along and...

It's good that you're taking advice and stuff but in my opinion, that isn't patter. Patter is what you say to make it magical, that was telling us what was going on. That trick would have worked just as well if you'd shown us everything and not said a word. I'm not getting at you or anything...

Wow, I always had a lot of respect for Steerpike and this sounds exactly what I could use at the moment. I will almost certainly pick this up at some point. Thanks a lot for the review and thanks to Steer for bringing this out.

Magicpros, my best advice would be to talk less. You seemed to tell us everything, we could tell what was happening by watching. You don't need to say '...and I swing cut them into the centre' for example, too much detail. And saying that you faro the packets together. I'm not saying to not use...

That is a brilliant post. Well done for writing it up and thanks for posting. I can't bang on about it now as I'm in a bit of a rush but it is very inspirational.

Now I come to think of it, I have one more question. Is the switched out card in a place where you could get it back on the deck reasonably naturally? Apart from this, it all sounds good. Difficulty doesn't concern me, I like a challenge and think that if a move is worth doing, it's worth...

Exellent thanks. That's all I needed.

Ok thanks. But still, what are the angles like? And do you end clean?

In Daniel Madison's pdf, Collateral, he teaches a trick (well, move) called Delusion. Here's the official description: A card is placed face down in the performer's hand. When it is turned face up, that card has changed. Both hands are shown empty with only one card in hand. I was just...
