Haha. Nice man, nice.

That's the first thing I thought of too...

This is true. For a non-native French speaker though in general, it might sound better... I dunno. You're certainly right though, it's still a question of personality, thanks for pointing that out.

If you're starting off in Mentalism... Well there are many threads regarding advice, so have a look. The most common and probably best suggestions (by no means a definitive group) would be along the lines of Bob Cassidy's Fundamentals, Corinda's 13 Steps, Annemann's Practical Mental Magic, and...

...No comment. Obviously, buy the DVD so you can get the original explanation - rarely does it happen that anyone explains better than the creator, and certainly this is true of exposure. Second tip: practice more. Play with it. This is one reason I prefer books over DVDs. Too many people...

mini magician - why yes, yes I do. From what I know, DanielSmith is right. You might want to check eBay regularly for this sort of stuff (looking for items like this is why my credit card bill is so damn long). Best of luck finding the stuff.

Forget any recommendations for singular effects, firstly. Bob Cassidy's Fundamentals, is exactly that.

Yes, yes you can. I like the translation, [Original]; use that one. It wouldn't hurt to chuck in a translated "d'accord" every now and then though - i.e. Maintenant pendant que je compte jusqu'a trois voyons ce qu'il va arriver, d'accord? It just seems more conversational rather than sounding...

Nice, Steerpike, great suggestion. It also gave me the idea, which I present with a slight chuckle: True and False: Heresy and Common Sense for the Actor - David Mamet.

It sure beats all the "Is it hard hitting" type questions. I need to get something from Prestos sooner or later, I've been hanging out there too much >.>

I personally find Guy Holliingworth's The Reformation to be brilliant.

Well, how about something that hasn't been suggested yet... The Empty Space, by Peter Brook.

Wow, nice find, D. Will definitely catch it when he comes down... Great stuff.

If you get it, you get it, if you don't, you don't.

Derren Brown can pull it off, it's all logical, it's thought out, the revelations all work in correlation with each other. In short, it's Derren xD

Hi guys. So I was just wondering, like, I'm totally lost. See there's this superawesomebrandspankingnew DVD that's out, Product X, and apparently like 95% of young magicians have it. It full looks mad modern and stuff and it's popular and new so it must be good right? Everyone must love it...

For you, David Stone. He rocks my socks.

Good point, and importantly, well said. Please do keep this in mind. With that said, Dylan, congratulations on your success. I've experienced similar periods where it feels like a lotta things are picking up and a lotta work is getting paid off, so I know how it feels, enjoy it, and make the...

A lottery ticket and hope for the best.

Yup. As Rabid also said, just to second this very important point, you should always be nervous, but with time and performance, you will feel it less.
