Luis, Outstanding job man. I would have turned and left too. Once you start to get really good and people realize your talent, they think they can just call you and you'll show up and entertain their guests and that it shouldn't cost them a dime or maybe $20-30 bucks at most. Yeah right. I...

Ok, well, I think Elite has made his introduction, we've heard from our members, and the cats are upon us so I think it is time time bring the thread to an end. It is not really headed in any direction or discussing magic.

Justin brings up a valid point. If everyone just popped in the chat rooms, a ton of people would miss out on imperative, entertaining, and enlightening information. I like having it all written down in the threads so one can go back in history and find that conversation. That being said...

Wow...great topic fellas. This is a tough one. Depending on how against the company or product I was, I probably would have sucked it up and did it because of all the other potential gigs and money. I would have looked at it as putting money on the table to help my family. On the flip...

I would agree with $5-$10 You aren't going to be able to throw an OPENED deck of cards on ebay and expect to make some fat cash. Even opened Jerry's aren't going to be worth half of what they are sealed.

I normally try to enunciate more clearly, slow down the rate of speech (which is hard to do when your adrenaline is pumping), and make sure you have eye contact which is imperative. Do not look down at the ground or your cards. Do not mumble. I took a few speech classes in high school...

Garcia' Torn is unbelievable and I've gotten great results. Put in the time and it is going to be worth it.

I agree with both above posters. A center tear or piece from inside the paper, rather than a corner would be stronger. Also...yes...why is the paper being torn and restored anyway. What is your patter and plot for it?

Nice man....very jealous. I would love to see his lecture some time. Thanks for sharing the pics.

I would be careful with how that is all handled because a lot of times judges who put you through to the next round or pass you to the real deal want the same act. Others are ok with you bringing something new that night. I'd do some checking with the judges first.

Stairway is based off of Harlan's work called "Traveling Cash". You cannot go wrong with any of Harlan's DVD's. Jumper is great, Banding Around is Great, Link is great, Pinnacle, etc. These are all good band resources.

I use www.bludomain.com but I am not sure if you "have" to use their website templates as well. You can contact them to see how it would work. They charge $100 per year.

Rneogy, I loved the effect but the handling definitely needs some work. You flash quite a bit and you can tell there is some awkward handling. I am not saying I could do better, but IF you can nail this handling to look smooth....wow...it will be an amazing effect. Good work my friend.

Spade, There are some great things heading your way in the near future.

That is funny because that is my finale to my ACR. Card to mouth. "And the penis card ends up in my mouth"....ahhhhh....gross.....ha ha.

If it is a very large group of people, 250 or more, and I am limited on time, then I normally only do 3 effects per table / group. If it is a smaller group and time isn't a factor...then normally 4. If a large crowd has gathered around to see more, I will pull out a nice finale that may...

Good luck Zach. Have a blast man and hope all goes well.

Thanks Iantense, that is what I figured about the Guardians. As far as TNR i was a bit surprised because it is older and now it has sort of resurfaced over there for like a 2nd coming...ha ha. Oh well. It's all business.

Outstanding job and story Luis. I always love waiting to hear about your next gig. I actually got hired today to do 2 hrs. strolling at an outdoor festival where some big sponsors are going to be for my area so there could be some potential high paying gigs coming if i "play my cards right" as...

Just saw that TNR and Guardians are now coming through Penguin as well. I wonder if their Guardians are the ones that go to Walmart and such. Anyone have insight on this?
