    You might take something away from this!

    If they ask how did you do that, a simple answer is "I don't know." Easy and simple, there are many other better responses and it gets people off your case fairly quickly. My second suggestion is to just ignore them and then talk about something else, most people won't say anything else.

    As a Living

    What you need to do is be serious about it, not in the sense of practicing (though that to.) Don't be a kid showing them a neat card trick, really amaze not only your peers but the adults to. Show them you can freak them out with a deck or w/e you do and that you are the real deal. There is...

    Tarantula or master levitation system

    Just buy a reel, honestly the Tarantula isn't bad or anything but the MLS teaches everything the tarantula does but even more. If you want the full levitation effect then get MLS and get a cool reel, there are plenty of them out there. They cost 20 or less and it's very very easy to find...

    Two Questions

    1. I am proud of my overall progression in magic. 2. Don't like the Trilogy, they have maybe two cool effects that are workable for me. 3. If you can figure it out exactly the first time then go ahead, I will admit I would replay something a thousand times trying to figure it out. That's...

    Tarantula or master levitation system

    It's been asked a few times but my idea is to go with the MLS. I have owned both and the MLS is cheaper in many categories and you can do alot with it. I won't go into specifics but Tarantula just didn't play as well as the MLS.

    Unique Packet Tricks - Expose or not?

    Why are you stuck on this idea, you need to just kind of go away. You obviously don't even understand magic and how it should be taught. Buying packet tricks will not improve, buying books and learning about the history of magic along with how to make them into miracles is what you should be...

    Saturday Night Contest - Your Skills on Display

    Waiting for a SNC to display some mad mentalism skills. That day will come to T11 sooner or later, an epic battle where mountains cry and the seas erupt. Tired of useless card spinning, no offense.

    Question for Professionals

    Here's a tip from Luke Jermay's 3510, "The performers perspective of their performance is worthless." The reason I quoted this is because it's not what you like necessarily when performing but what plays well for the audience and touches their sense of astonishment. I don't see how your...

    PK Suggestions

    Electric Touch is pretty bad a%$ for mentalism. PK effects and a physical feeling when a thought transfers from them to you. I haven't used it lately but it is very very cool.

    Fooling a beginner ?

    Wait til he does a bullet catch and then switch it out for a real bullet and then shoot off his thumb. This way you will cause his evil twin pain also, a double whammy. I might have stolen this idea. If he does any tricks then do what he did, give him a bit of his own medicine. Or perhaps...

    October 2008 :: Applying Your Skills

    As far as I can tell it helped me read people much better. What type of audience member they may be can really help determine much more about that person. Also I fake throw my debit card quite a bit into a tenkai palm and pretty much amaze restaurant workers like that often. They swear it...

    Question for Professionals

    Okay full time isn't something you are going to get from a book, it may help a bit but you will need to learn on your own what it takes to sustain steady business. You need to limit your field on what you want to perform, it will be much more difficult to try and perform all of these types of...
