I don't think it's too bad for a rough draft. If you'd like, I could work on it a bit and make it... smoother.

Any of the threes besides diamonds, and the Ace of Clubs.

Haha, that's awesome. === I'll edit this part of my post with a story, once I think of one to tell.

I am aware that he performs/practices magic; I was simply referring to his performances in the videos that the original poster linked to.

He's good at what he does, but he doesn't really do magic. All he does is pick and putpocket.

Quoted. === Also, that wallet isn't a "trick wallet". Many people own them and know how they work. But it was a nice idea. Good luck, Ben

I think it's a stupid effect that's not really applicable. It insults the intelligence of the audience, and unless you have a good snap change, is rather unpractical for large groups. Look into real mentalism effects if you'd like to get into that art.

Um, er, ah... You might end up spending a lot of money... But it's a great idea. If you don't already own it, please don't purchase it for my sake. But I'd like to see someone besides Mr. Houchin perform Control for a live audience.

Not to call you wrong, but I feel the definitions that I gave are pretty universally applicable. Anyone who has a different perception of the words should only use the words in personal notes, so as not to confuse others. I made the post so that people could refer to something before calling...

I'm writing this in the hope that the confused will read it, and clear up some of their misunderstandings of the definitions of the terms below. Impromptu: An impromptu effect is one that can be performed at any time, with any deck, and absolutely no previous work required. Setup: Setup...

I'm sorry- you hand your $100 bills (or any bills, for that matter) out to your spectators? I would suggest taking an image (like snibbor posted) and editing the serial number. Just type in like A1234B1234. Or type in an anagram. Something that's obviously fake to someone who looks at a lot of...

It's as normal as a three headed child in southwest Alabama. Meaning you're probably going to die within the next few days.

Don't bother. The account is most likely a generated user, or a "bot". It's a scam, don't wast your time or parent's money.

Instead of making a 3-page long thread discussing the absolutely unimportant surmises you have come up with, why not wait three days? Go outside and do something. It'll pass the time.

I wasn't talking about "Card Mentalism"; although there are many applications for mentalism in card magic, that is not the "True Mentalism", if you'll pardon the phrase.

Maybe you just aren't presenting the effect right. Reconsider your patter, and make sure that you make the moments of awe as magical and exciting as possible. Don't speed through things, it will leave your spectators confused and uninterested. You've got to keep their attention.

Specialty Forums - Battles: Ready to Rumble - Cerca Trova - Card Magic Forum - Coin Magic Forum - Cardistry/Flourishing How many "types of magic" (that are regularly performed) are we missing?

Mentalism is not magic in the same sense as Card Magic, but it is magic in the sense that you are doing something beyond the realm of a normal person; you have devoted time, energy, money, and effort to create lasting experiences for people. Yes, mentalism is the control, influence, and...

A new Specialty Forum: Mentalism I believe that mentalism has always been a huge part of magic, although not too many performers take time to practice the art or become knowledgeable about it. It's a totally different kind of art than card magic, etc- one might even go so far as to say that the...

A double lift is one of the most important moves in card magic, you're right on that point. However, I don't get why the new fad is to make a huge show out of displaying it. It makes it much, much more obvious that you are doing something sneaky - why the hell would you twirl the top card like...
