I agree with Dmagic - getting a break needs work, and both of those suggestions work well. FYI Reset was first created by Paul Harris, though many including Bebel have their own respective versions.

I'm going to keep posting this in every single thread of this type I find. Unfortunately for you, the best magic is in books. I posted this before, and it's always the same. Here's an idea. Look for them yourself, find the ones that work for yourself, and make them "hard hitting"! In all...

It's not bad but it's not fluid yet - there's a noticeable delay before you close the spread..

Yes - PCP is a well publicised (at least on T11) company that is legit. You're completely safe buying with them. I have not personally bought from them - but a LOT of members here can and will vouch for them. So again - go ahead, you're safe.

Bad for instilling the notions of persistence and practice too.

Make sure you're not using too much powder too, incidentally ^^

As awesome as CK is, I'd go AoA as well. With the impending DVD set of TOoC, every magician and his rabbit will be performing TOoC in a few months. Start with 1, if you want a specific volume, too.

The first move is very jerky - but if you keep practicing it for a month or two it should be fine, nothing looks terribly wrong with it. And yes, as Medifro said - you should buy it for ethical reasons out of respect for the creator - who I presume, from his post, has not yet released the move...

Ah, I do love Hermes. I could imagine setting this up for a nice short performance for a girlfriend or something... (Tumble, if you read this: I did say I wouldn't perform it to a prospective girlfriend, but an established one is another thing so she wouldn't mind :P) A candlelit table somewhere..

Alright, well two things I guess. Firstly and most importantly, very well done for getting it as smooth as you have, it's very good and looks amazing. I know how hard the move is, so you're definitely to be commended for getting it down as you have. BUT, having said that... Secondly - I agree...

Something selfworking... Or Raise Rise.

It's a Derren Brown effect - you explain how you got into magic, performing a rose production for a childhood sweetheart which completely fails with petals falling everywhere. Having explained that, a card is chosen and lost. The deck then vanishes, leaving behind one card - but not the chosen...

... So anyway. I liked the routine. The two things I would say is this: Firstly, when you get that pinky break, I think it would work better if you did it slower. Doing it fast kinda calls attention to it because it's sudden - and our eyes naturally track and focus on movement. Just do it...

Everyone has thoughts like that about psychological forces. Some key points: 1) If you think you'll fail - if you lack conviction, you probably will. 2) If you're scared to use them because they could fail, you have the wrong mindset for psychological forces and a LOT of mentalism. Simply...

Well yeah, it depends on your needs man. Personally, I'd never use a thing from the Trilogy, so I'd rather get a brick of SM's. But that's just me. And at the moment, I don't need cards anyway, so yeah. But I don't really need material either - it depends what you need most ^^

And they like it, so I do ask, what is wrong with masturbation? Anyway. The best and generally agreed upon ways to start off in flourishing is either XB - Xtreme Beginners or The Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes. Yes, you could fiddly around with other DVDs and maybe even get a few...

You have several years of material in there. If you're done in under a few years, you haven't studied them well enough and as RS has said, wasted your money. With that stuff, you won't need to worry about starting spoon bending or PK for a few years. As for the Russian Roulette question, there's...

Steel wool and Fako sheets do the same thing, incidentally.

Nice man... How much did you buy the Derren Brown books for? o.O
