Agreed. I like the pace. Also, I think that looks really good to a laymen. It amazes them that someone can handle cards so quickly and smoothly on its own. Then when he demonstrated that he has been cheating the whole time it is like a double whammy. Remember most gambling demos are geared...

Well those were not exactly my favorite but more to do with plot than method or crediting.Mind Plant is outstanding however! So that is why I have a "soft spot," for that book. BTW...which method? The first second or third? Just curious?

I can understand why. I honestly think to a more experienced mentalist this will be the better book. I, however, am not as experienced so his first one is more applicable for me now. This is a testimonial video for his bookings but on it, at about 2:40, you can see how he dressed up some of the...

Helium Tires....Duh!

Funny tangent. I was once roped into playing Yatzee(a game of little interest to me) because my friends wouldn't play card games with me(for the same reasons that many of you have trouble playing cards with your friends.) Anyways, in the course of the game I managed to roll three Yatzees in a...

Wow!...Does that ACR have an intermission? Just in case the spectators want to take a pee and get another beer.

I disagree but only because I think you misinterpret what a character is. Sure some people play "characters" and it is painfully obvious that they are doing so. Generally these people are either bad actors or the character they are playing is too far from who they really are. Check out Derren...

Video Review Supplement In this episode I show you guys what I did to the ACR I was working in the Bee Erdinase and the Propoganda Video supplements. http://vimeo.com/26526436

CA Acorn Deck Special(2nd) Edition (1st Week Update) Wow! These cards have been doing great….considering. Handling: I’m currently living in Korea and Korea generally has very wet and humid summers. Never the less this summer has been particularly wet and humid having been caught in the wake of...

Okay here is my new ACR. I have just started performing it live and it has been getting really good reactions, probably the best of any of my ACRs so far. The first three minutes is the card review so zip ahead to there for just the ACR. http://vimeo.com/26526436 BTW: I too would love to hear...

Well then I think they should put, "Cincinnati-ish" on the card box. Cincinnati has a long tradition of making playing cards. Kentucky has a long tradition of RedNecks chewing Redman and driving beat up pickup trucks.

From my experience almost 1/2 of all published card magic is impromptu. A good chunk of the rest requires placing a few cards in strategic locations. Learn to cull and much of that becomes impromptu as well. Pick up a card book and read it. You should find more impromptu effects and plots than...

Great stuff!

Oh DUDE! I'm totally reviewing these next! http://www.bicyclecards.com/products/playing-card/realtree-camouflage-playing-cards

Always wanted to learn the violin. Had a chance to pick it up recently and decided it would take almost as much time to get any good at it as it does cards!

That is a fair point but I am pretty sure he won't want to explain that to an observant spectator. And face it, most guys into watching gambling demos are other card guys or people with an interest in poker and black jack. Therefore, you are generally performing to the most observant crowd...

I used to do lots of ice climbing and back country snowboarding(split boarding if you know what that is) Now I am lucky if I go snowboarding at a ski area. Korea is not the best place to live for outdoor sports:(

This is one of my favorite for that style of magic. Still need some table space but you can always use a few spectators hands if you need it. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/1674

The real answer may not be what you are looking for. Bike, Tally, and Bee are the backbone of USPCC cards. They are all good quality but they don't go through any extra "quality" controls. So, compared to cheap plastic cards made in China and Japan(Though Japan has some fantastic quality plastic...
