You got skill mate. Good job coming up with stuff, although the effect is certainly done before, I really like the card skill and your enthusiasm about what you do. Nothing wrong with re-inventing the wheel, shows that your thinking which is a very good thing. Keep working stuff out and have...

I would love to see that! :) aznofspades, the pop out move is Fred Braue's, not Vernon's. Cheers,

I said "His deal", meaning the one he explains in his book. I was told that in the Forte vid, these were not centers, though not to let Forte's technique down ( and not to start a debate, as I'm not that knowledgeable in this area myself ), I'm sure that he can do very good centers. Anyway...

I never saw him personally, but I have footage of him seeing him performing alot of his moves and routines, many of them are known. From what I've seen, the way he did the moves was so extraordinary that the other *easier* moves could be done normally. I do take my words back and I do...

I would understand if you meant old books, like Robert Houdin ( Learned Pig Project! ) which is great by the way, but Marlo? Marlo's Rev. Card Technique has been reprinted, don't get it unless you know your way with a deck of cards. If you can find it, Vernon's Book of Magic is "killer" (...

Get the full book, which is currently reprinted with important updates and improvments. It will serve you for the rest of your life. The booklet currently sold is part of the old edition. Cheers,

The argument above seems to be how methods and effects related. They are related quite strongly. A cleaner method produces a cleaner effect. Problem is, methodology is more often a choice of the performer, the performer picks the method that he likes, alot of factors are involved, including...

The misunderstanding .. Here is the idea: Ask, but don't only do that, LOOK around, go to magic shops and LOOK for DVDs on card magic. See different options, don't only depend on asking people, because people will only recommend the DVDs they know, and the general idea I got while hanging...

Here is an advice, stop asking, and begin searching and doing. By asking you are limiting yourself to the level of knowledge of the members, which I noticed that the members here tend to go for certain products. My advice? Use this for the rest of your magic. Instead of asking, go to an online...

People make mistakes, magicaman1212 made a small one, it happens. Next time, add this line: "Put your name on the FACE of the card". Problem solved :) When delivering information to the spectator to do, the more clear instructions with minimum wording, the better. Its easy to say "perform...

.............................................................................................................................. No comment. Gotta love Erdnase, here's how he put it: "The art of card palming can be brought to a degree of perfection that borders on the wonderful. Its very...

EDIT: never mind ..

I always have bad experiences performing for kids, here is one for a cousin! Kid: Do a trick with your cards. Me: OK. *show top card, do color change, a classic change with a palm*. Kid: *silence* Me: How did that look? Kid: What? Me: Did you see anything? Kid: Yeah, you're holding a deck. Me...

Zapper might be not practical, but Fan-2C is. Very good and very practical. Its gimmicked, but once you make it you off to go.

I'm pretty sure Card College was published as PDF as only vol.1 and 2. Did you get yours of lybyray.com? And by the way, would be unethical if you send it, keep the PDF for yourself since you bought it. Cheers,

All major magic shops carry Magic Maker's stuff now, not only penguin. MJM, Magic Depot, MagicPro ... etc. Not sure about Mr.Gilbert and Maue. Anyways, this is unfortunately is and have been something in magic for a long long time and still happening, before M.Makers, Pengiun, E and others too...

Which is why I'm saving to buy the magic section of "Dangerous" :D There is one thing I would like to say, as much I hate seeing an image done only for magicians, we on the other part must maintain a professional attitude. Whatever reason, things like "big loser" should not be said. Be...

Penguin did have some ethical issues years ago with some creators like Sankey, but the major ones are fixed now ( the Sankey issue in particular ), now they are just like any one-stop-magic-shop, selling DVDs from every distributer, usually there are mis-crediting DVDs and books but thats from...

You play poker with your friends? You gamble kid? AND cheat? Kids these days .. ;) ( I'm 21, don't think I'm an old guy :P ) I really like your performing persona, I personally become extremly happy when I see young performers deliver patter like that, shows you're putting work! I'll be...

You performed it better than the creator, done very well. :) A review for the DVD.
