    Need advice

    You say he is seeing your effects in instagram. Pray tell, are you posting the effects with their real name; or if you learned them from youtube are you posting them under the name by which you learned the effect? If so that needs to stop. The other question I have is why post your effects on...

    Might want to break that down from wall o text to something someone would take time to read. I think i saw something about inviting people to leave their table and come to another table where others are sitting table to watch you work. Like i said it is really hard to read. In a restaurant i...

    How do you create a presentation?

    I make the effect's presentation and patter fit me and my character. You have to look at yourself and pick your performance style. Now having said that, you have to make sure that what you pick matches where you are in life. It would be hard to pull the seasoned card shark at 17 years old...

    Erik Casey's Poker Test 2.0

    I'll admit, I'm a magic child of the 90's. In the 90's packet tricks were all the rage. You couldn't swing a stick with out hitting a book magazine or lecture with out some sort of packet effect. So they hold a soft spot in my heart. When I find one that is this good well yeah I'll use it. So...

    Difference between revealing and teaching?

    So it's not something you do? Because I have seen you do a laundry list before on this very forum to a kid. Just because it is frowned upon in the corporate world doesn't mean it isn't effective. It has worked for many years. I know now younger people are brought up with the everyone is a...

    I need help identifying this deck!

    If you like the jumbo index then any bikes with jumbo index should do. Fox Lake decks had a different rosette in the middle of the backs as well as a different over all back pattern but close to this. The most similar backs i could find in my collection were aviators.

    Difference between revealing and teaching?

    It happens about two or three times a months on average. More in the spring and summer here. There is also an uptick after a new magic special is on TV. Then again I live in the fourth largest city in the US. So lets say someone post a video with one thing done right and twenty thing done...

    Tablehopping experiences

    The lonnie chevrie lecture on penguin covers a chopcup and sponge ball act. I would skip the dvd and get the Frank Garcia sponge ball book. It is hard to find in English I spent $200 to get my copy but I understand it is still cheap for the German edition. But really spend the $30 on the lonnie...

    Trying to Start Restaurant Magic

    I would add here you need instant resets and good on angle effects. Stuff you can do surrounded. The problem with an booking agent is they are getting a good chunk of your fee. Also you are pretty much locked into booking all gigs through them It is bad form to hand out your card to a table if...

    To build on what Randy was saying I would keep some effects that Is just impractical to really do while strolling. Something that takes forever to set up. I keep it for regular customers or a VIP that the manager points out. Something like signed card to sealed deck, my version of fate datebook...
