Magician: *and your card is on top* and does Asher's Acrobatic Diving Board Spectator: *Bet thats a double card!* Also, I really, really doubt that having a break makes the double less natural ( whatever that means!) or make you hands look stiff. Stiff hands simply means not enough practice...

I think magicians restricting themselves to ACR ideas only, and neglecting all other ideas for being out of logic, when using an ACR, is a bad thing. I have 3 ACRs, one of them ends with a complete deck change, other ends with a torn and restored. They all blend together nicely, as the...

Youell's hands are big? >___< You gotta see Ed Marlo's and Ken Krenzel's hands. Actually it was a myth that passes were impossible for small handers, late Howie Showarsman ( horrible spelling, I can't even pronounce his name, I think you know him )destroyed this myth, and actually was one...

And how many people do this kind of push offs? :P I love push offs doubles ( which comes as a bonus for practicing push offs seconds! I recommend Simon Lovell's method). However, I've seen laymen turn the top card using a strike-DL action, and many other actions as well! I personally...

With personal instruction with someone experienced in it, it will take months. Took me 3 years and I still can't do it well ( mainly because it took me alot of time studying ). The above came from Steven Youell, needless to say he's one of the best card guys around. Also, its not about the...

] I would'nt say "belong", I would say "first to publish". I know someone who's been performing a routine with this idea in it for a long time ( actually I think anyone who played with the concept of shrinking using color changes would think of it ) The details are the important thing in...

I always thought the move can be done while they're looking on the deck? I never practiced it, but Jay Sankey does it in his old L&L DVD set, it fooled me badly, had no idea how the card is forced. Sankey's Beyond Secrets is one awesome book. Cheers,

Akira is NOT the teacher in his Pass DVD ( don't know about the above mentioned DVD ), the DVD teaches his idea on the pass, which is also taught in other sources ( Erdnase and Derek Dingle to start with ). The Pass book by Gary Ouellet is the best if you want to do classic passes. A...

You just gave me good memories, back when I first watched the DVD .... Greg Wilson is the man.

Card College and Royal Road, beside the price, are totally different when it comes to aim and material. Card College's teachings will benifit the advanced as well as the beginning student, Royal Road's teachings are towards people who nevber touched a deck before. The system used in Royal Road (...

I agree with John Bannon ( very good card guy ) say about this, on how there ARE bad and good tricks. Bad tricks with good presentation may become GOOD, but good tricks with good presentation become GREAT. That's being said, as you go in card magic you'll find it alot of fun presenting...

France? Singapore? I'm in Saudi! :D ( it gets 40 C here in summer! :p ) I never ever perform outdoors while the sun is im the sky ( unless its winter obviously ). Outdoors, I perform from 8pm -11pm in most days. Sunlight with heat is something you don't want. Its a bit hot here at...

Speaking of the Penumbra magazine, the only magazines I've read are the ones sold as volumes ( Apoclypse, Pabular, Hugard Monthly .. etc ). I'm not experienced in today's magazines, what do you guys think on them? Genii, Magic and Reel Magic are no brainers. Any other magazines? ( Penumbra...

I advise you ( along with the above mentioned ) first of all, to get a knowledgble mentalist to look into it, to check on if the material is original enough to get published. You can contact magicians in the magic cafe forum, or any other mentalists community. You don't want to be accused of...

Let me get this, the reason comedy magic is so popular, is because its the easiest? Sorry, but what the heck are saying? You may mean this: the reason comedy magic is so COMMON, is becauase its the easiest. Even this, I'm not sure if I can agree, because honestly A) Anything wrong...

In other words, you want to work From a Shuffle Deck in Use, FASDIU. www.fasdiu.com I don't know about the technical demands on the notes there. Paul Cummins is a Marlo student. Cheers,

Allow me to give you what is the reason behind including the tricks you see in Royal Road. There are many beginner card magic books outthere that you won't believe ( just check a local bookstore ). Royal Road sets itself from the rist because of two reasons. 1- The sleight-tricks teaching...

The description in Erdnase is extremely good. Do check it. For videos, I'm not aware of any DVD/vhs that teaches it, though there are many videos that demostrate it ( 90% do it badly, as you'd expect). Look for Akira Fuji's youtube channel, he does a very good slow DPS. There was a video on a...

I've been reading around the site and it does have some good information, and the guys behind it look like a good bunch :) Chr!s's article is a nice read for a start. Alot of reviews from a Liam who looks knowledgeable. I'll be checking it often.

Get a table, get a corner, and busk! Here is the idea: Put on clothes that show you are an English talking guy. A hat might be helpful. The key is that when they come to watch you, they'd expect that this magician is an English speaker. It might sound strange, but its logical if you think...
