    Skilled Hobbyist vs. Magician

    You have possibly just posted the most intelligent and insightful comment I have seen in months. A magic trick is just that-- a trick. Nobody gives a rat's ass about it. Pardon the language. We, as magicians, are supposed to make them care. We do that by being engaged with our audience and...

    And you said no to the daughter because... ?

    One Handed Pass

    Yes, it's a very nice sleight... but I'm guessing it's rather angle-sensitive.

    A plea to the multitudes...

    Quoted, because I would have typed the same exact thing.

    What Should I Do?

    DOVE MAGIC. That takes care of your audience's age range, and wows/intrigues just about everyone in the friggin' area.

    Travel

    As everyone before me has said, you're messing with the cards too much. Don't fumble around with them. Don't have useless patter, and try and make the loading of it cleaner... it makes no sense to move the "selection" around so much. Ben

    theory11 special announcement - An All New 1-on-1 Section

    I really like the new 1-on-1 section, great job designing it. I have but a few suggestions, though... 1) Instead of having different pages ( PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT ), why not just do a flash frame, or even an iframe? I just think that having multiple pages with just a few items on each page...

    Andthensome or Tarantula?

    I'd go with Tarantula, if you'll be using it a lot. I've had the privilege of using one pre-release; and I must say it looks and works rather beautifully. Andthensome looks like it has decently good card work - much the same as in the Trilogy, I'd imagine. Not stuff that's really "performing...

    Subway Revolution

    1) No reason to. 2) Takes away from the suspense of having a card "teleport". 3) I don't see why you would want this. Ben

    Card Magic Slump

    Well, purchase more material or create your own. Work on your performance style, patter, and card technique. It's common sense. If what you have is old, boring, etc, obtain new material. If you aren't performing it in an entertaining manner, then change your performing style. Ben

    Card Magic Slump

    I don't really understand what you're attempting to ask.

    Hard time for working magicians...

    That's ridiculously expensive. At that rate, you're charging about $133 an hour - and unless you're some godlike performer, that's much, much more than you should be charging. Amateur magicians should start off at about $20/$25 an hour, maybe a little more. Intermediate-skilled performers to...

    Magic Castle Junior Society

    Obviously not, if anyone on this forum has succeeded in joining.

    Homepage Design Concept

    The navigation (links at the top) look fine, although straightening the text out to match the angle of the banner for it couldn't hurt. The 1px border surrounding this display pictures (the angled ones on Minust and the one on Avaleht) should be darker. You need to make the border color a...

    Name of a color changing signed card trick...

    Well... the trick as you described it can be easily accomplished by using a blue-backed card and having a proficient double lift. Ben

    mentalism card trick (sort of)

    Instead of saying "You can use improvement", why don't you actually suggest where the improvement could be directed? I think it's a very good trick - work on your patter, although it only needs a little touching up. Also, the handling is a bit funky at times, such as when you're pick up...

    In Thought

    Sorry, I think the patter you have totally ruins the trick and doesn't flow with it at ALL. Ben
