I really enjoyed that! You are an incredible actor man, haha. Golden Globe comin your way. I laughed at how you completely made everything seem SOOO life-threatening. Also, you bring about a confidence to the stagethat says you've been doing that for awhile. I'm impressed by your patter, and...

WOW that seminar was awesome, i will be searching his videos and his site. But here is a quick question, does he have any books? I am very interested in the idea of pickpocketing and misdirection, and to do this would be the ultimate sleight. This would help my crowd management and patter...

I bought this and i'm very satisfied. If i can accomplish this color change on an audience, that would be a great confidence booster. It feels like picking someones pocket, haha.

Wow, i can't believe i never heard of this guy, even my little brother heard of him and i'm way more into magic than him. I think he's so badass, and i'm VERY interested in those skills of misdirection and pickpocketing he has.

AGREED. Knowing just one trick in that department would make a more well rounded magician. I wouldn't mind more flourishes either.

You bring up a strong point. Being well rounded is essential. It would seem odd to be so magical with a deck of cards and not be able to do anything else. BUT, i will get to that when i get to it. For now, i think in order to stay interested i will work on one product at a time, haha. I don't...

HAHA you my friend are a brilliant blinding light from heaven.

Although you almost got carried away with your movie discussion, i do believe you make a great invaluable point. Patter is extremely important, and needs to be refined as much, if not more than your card technique.

This review was incredible. I know lots of these sleights and ideas, but i'm sure this book goes more into detail. I'm rethinking what books i should get, this one is looking extremely worthy. Are there layouts and reviews of the other volumes that i can see?

Yea, honestly after thinking about it -- saving up for the entire trilogy is the best idea. Buying one at a time would be more expensive, so i wouldn't get just one DVD.

Well i actually have all 4 DVDs, and contentwise it is a chop, so what i can say is that I spend the majority of my time working on the flourish DVD. That is because, personally, sybil comes easier to me than sleight of hand and magic. The everything else DVD is next in line, because the 20...

Did you read most of these books or just AoA and Card College? Personally, i am very swayed toward card college because it is very presentable, and it seems to be alot of information. I'm ordering royal road and expert technique, but it seems like a tough decision from there lol. I just have...

It seems to me like your posts are full of win. I feel easily swayed when reading them, because i see alot of what i want. AoA will definitely be read by me sooner or later, but i am purely working on card magic and card handling abilities right now, and i believe this list will be...

Thanks. Yea, i didn't really hear much about the art of astonishment, of course i will look into it, but i have heard of card college. I looked on amazon and there seems to be 3 volumes of it? Also, i will need to see how far my reading progresses, i don't want to overload myself. I believe i...

I am thinking of getting/reading these books in this order, tell me what everyone thinks: 1. Royal Road To Card magic. 2. Strong Magic. 3. Expert at the card table. 4. Expert card technique. 5. The Paper Engine. 6. The Essential by Dai Vernon. Money is not an issue, but over the course of the...

Out of everything mentioned, iam very curious about Orb's recomendationof Strong Magic by Darwin Ortiz. What do you guys think of that book? I'm going to use the search buttn on all of these books.

I am not completely new to magic or flourishing, as i do own lots of DVDs and 1 on 1s from this site and can complete a decent amount of the material, but i would like to start looking into books to both advance my magic AND flourishing abilities. See, this is where i'm at: I have...

I think this has been a very successful topic. I didn't expect this unanimous response. I've always gotten good reactions though, so hopefully i will keep practicing and getting better. I know when college starts up again i will lose time to do this, so i better get hours in before that...

Haha thanks everyone. I wouldn't consider myself a complete beginner, but i'm definitely only performing basic double lifts and forces. I am glad to hear its completely normal, and that practice will make it much better. I already feel much more confident in front of people, oh and for the...

Haha nice wink, i missed it.
