    Problem with Believe

    If by any chance the problem is in the tearing, have a look in the search thingo, because these are a few threads where people have offered to help via PM on this subject from memory, so that could give you a list of people to contact. And even if that's not the issue you could probably still...

    Creating a mentalism routine?

    One quick tip: If you're not doing so already, certainly with E.I. and maybe with some of the other effects, pick a spectator who is close to the front, and ask them to stand / ask a spectator to come forward. This is just so that the majority of the audience can see them very easily - since...

    What do you do if...

    LOL. Aww, snap.

    What effects are your in repetoir?

    My theory is this. I have several lists - several large lists - of material I know/have learned. Can I perform them all, to perfection, at any given time? No. What I do have, from that large amount of material, is a smaller group of maybe half a dozen effects that I perform regularly. I see my...

    Best Invisible Palm

    The original video posted could still be better, IMO. And he needs to learn how to properly palm, rofl.

    What do you do if...

    It sounds like what you need is to take a break from learning those knuckle busters, and learn some stuff that's presentation based, or for any other reason doesn't require good cards. For this, self-working tricks are often the way to go. Another avenue is card-related mentalism - predictions...

    Starting out

    Working on hard stuff before you're ready, in my opinion, will only slow you down - but that's just my opinion. But yes, Born to Perform is a nice DVD.

    Battle Question

    I'm pretty sure there's a system delay. That said - if it's still not working by the time you log on and see this again, send a PM to Richard who created this thing.

    Creating a mentalism routine?

    Might I just suggest that out of those three, you perform E.I. last? ^^

    Saturday Night Contest / roundtable + Doug McKenzie

    How did working with DB develop your understanding of the business half of showbusiness? Does being in a city such as NYC help your magic in terms of what you can access, as opposed to living in an unknown city? How do you feel about the editing processes used in TV? Flicker obviously adheres to...

    Blackhole Teleportation redo

    The guy on the screen though was 15 metres away, with little expection motion - and the camera shook too much to focus at that point anyway.

    Starting out

    Hey mate - welcome firstly! For your reference, the "World's Greatest Card Trick" on YouTube is actually called the Chicago Opener. ^^ It sounds like you've been starting off with mostly or all cards - which is just fine. For those, the best introduction to magic would be either Royal Road to...

    New 1-on-1 Release : The Biddle Trick

    So your gripe isn't that it's common at all, is it? It's just that you didn't like the performance of the trick, it wasn't up to standard.

    Magic Is A Puzzle

    Does Ricky Jay's status mean that he is unable to do something poorly? Does his skill mean that he could not possibly improve his routine, or his presentation. I can't speak on behalf of your friend, but also note that just because you look for the solution, doesn't necessarily mean you respond...

    New 1-on-1 Release : The Biddle Trick

    Yes but Creeper - there are just as many books on the Second Deal, on the Bottom Deal, on the Push Through, and NO-ONE used this argument there. They're ALL available in so many different places!

    New 1-on-1 Release : The Biddle Trick

    The mentalist in me predicts that because it is a simple and common trick, this 1 on 1 will be bashed.

    Blackhole Teleportation redo

    The video is shaky all the way through. It doesn't explain why it suddenly speeds up and slows down at the exact moment the disappearance and appearance occur, for a few seconds. Someone else look at the times I mentioned in my earlier post, and tell me that the camera doesn't speed up in its...
