I perform, not for money, but for entertainment for me and them

I have no problem with gaff cards. Gaffed trick are very refreshing

This is why I love flourishes, actually takes skill. :) But I think the audience can tell when a gimmick is being used. Everytime I use a gimmick they ask to see the deck, but that has never happened doing card in hand or stigmata. Just thought it deserved a mention

Ace of clubs. It has sophistication and character. Reminds me of myself :)

I guess you're right Jakeh, you know, the first deck I got when I started magic, before a normal deck, was a pack of Svengalis. On the wrapper which was attached to the box, it said 'Requires no skill!' From that point on I hated it and every other gimmick. But this isn't therapy, so I guess...

I can see what you're saying fridoliina, but I still see them as 'false reputation makers' if you will. While most T11 tricks are gimmicked, I got the Trilogy and love it, and are now getting Control. I also love the 1 on 1 section. :)

I don't know why, but ever sinse I started magic, I have hated gimmicks and never use them. Don't get me wrong, I fully respect magicians who use them and some of them are just ingenious. But I have a friend who uses nothing but gimmicked cards (svengali, Invisible) and I always stick to normal...

Thanks guys, but I can't really say my patter here because it changes depending on the audience :)

Just a new routine I came up with and it gets BIG reactions. I start off with the card version of stigmata, complain how much my wrist hurts and move into fixing it with disjointed, then I say how much it hurt and I think I broke something and get them to check my pulse (control). Any thoughts...

good luck finding someone :)

Oh my god! I know Marty too, he was my maths teacher last year :) How do you know him??

I'm sure they would, but i'd go ahead and email them first just to check

Awesome, I love taylors! The other shop.. is it Hey Presto?? I've found them to be pretty expensive..

If you live in Australia, I just found a great magic website that sells really cheap magic related stuff, it's acekicker.com.au. They're having a 40% off sale right now too. And.. no... they're not paying me :)

'Dramatic' seems to be the key word here. Which is funny because my first trick was called dramatic

wow, forgot about panic and that, i just called my latest trick Vengeance, as a joke. Might put up a vid of it some day

Is it just me, or are names of tricks getting way too bold and in some cases, gory? I mean, Kaos, Stigmata? At least Theory11 keeps it subtle. Next we'll have Vengeance, and Painful. Anyone with me?

Jonathan Bayme is left handed, so am I. I think that just staying left handed is the best way, i've never had problems transposing tutorials, although some moves do need to be done right handed, and so do some tricks(I have problems doing 'Queens' from the trilogy

thanks guys, i hope im not the only one learning something here

I've been learning and performing magic for 1 year. Yet, lately my nerves are going willd and my hands keep shaking, any tips of getting rid of this?
