100% for giving credit, not so much for the fanboy name calling, that's all ^^

To paraphrase Andy Nyman - chief consultant on Derren Brown's Trick of the Mind series: "[Derren] blurs the edges... he takes the best of all the worlds he knows". Couple this with Derren writing about psychological direction - the illusion of enormous skill, letting the audience feel and work...

Zamiel's Rose..

Hey mate, If you're totally new to magic, Royal Road to Card Magic or the Card College series are simply the best way to start - there is no comparison with anything else. Yes, they're books, but please understand, the majority of the best material is in books. Don't be fooled by all the ads and...

Sanj, imo just save and get a Porper.

Ahite easy now people. shadow, the truth is that everyone has different opinions of different decks. Doesn't necessarily mean they're fanboys. Your best bet is just to get one or two of each over time and see which one works best for you. Personally, Smoke and Mirrors are my favourite deck. But...

Heed Matthew's advice. He's right on the money. 99% of the crap labelled NLP, is exactly that: crap. "Lastly, I hate to tell you, and perhaps should have stated this in the beginning, but it is NOT what you think. You are not going to be able to do any "effects" with it. You are not going to...

Yeah, the 1-on-1's are instant downloads mate :)

I'm gonna side with Randomwrath for different reasons and say that in my opinion, this effect is total rubbish. The entire patter is based around "Look how I can fool you!" The fact that this was brought up as a "heckler killer" - are you kidding me? Please learn to deal with hecklers, and not...

In my opinion I don't think they'll drop the price on that one. Just as Trilogy has always remained the same price (I think - correct me if I'm wrong). But eventually they may well sell them individually..

Usually I'll fall on mentalism in this case - prediction/mindreading effects, Nu Sense is a good one, etc. Stuff that doesn't require you necessarily to carry cards. I almost always have cards on me, though.

The Cardini was good, the trick wasn't well constructed, but that's alright. Good job on the change.

Very unnatural lifting of the first DL and the pullout of the middle card... It looks like a pretty nice concept if you get fluid with it though.

Well, what can I say... It looked good - there were no major camera gaffs, which was good to see. It was a little slow yeah but my issue was that it's pretty much been similar to most other things you've shown so far.

Well, to be honest, I'm not that picky about quality. In my opinion, the difference in handling between Centurions vs Split Spades vs S&M vs Black Tiger vs Tallies etc. are so minimal that really, aesthetics are the most important thing because they augment your magic. Besides, if you get so...

My impression was of the same, Card Manipulations 1934-1936 and Greater Magic 1938.. 52 card pickup probably hasn't seen a description of the real Cardini..

Depending on the event, that could just as easily be suicidal as effective. Just warning. The tricks you already know should be more than sufficient though. There's something wrong if you feel like you need extra material for a show. From your repertoire, pick the ones you're most comfortable...

Anyone who's been asked if their cards are special needs to improve their presentation.

Please try using grammar, I didn't understand that sentence... I've actually got Card Manipulations (Series 1-5) in front of me right now, I think I'll have a look at that...

And as a continuation of that - fanning powder is good however for flourishing.
