    Business Cards?

    vistaprint.com Free business cards, and the designs aren't half bad. The design below is extra but when you make money it's nothing to worry about. I'll share mine with you and I don't mind if you use anything similar...

    Creating Magic: A Useful Technique.

    I like the idea, I'll stick with my own stuff but definitely great advice for the many magicians with no script and generic presentation. Just out of interest, who taught this technique for creating presentation.

    How would you PRESENT this? A great exercise!

    Well to get back on topic, I decided to do something similar with Blueprint as stated before with the color change. I did a suggestion technique with some marked cards to set up the presentation of blueprint. Without exposing I simply told them that because the test went so well I would like...

    Christmas List Already?!

    If you could post a live performance, and I was actually talking about the way you moved the cards. Double lifts, other moves were rushed and nothing seemed smooth in that. I would like you to really rethink your idea about people give performing advice. Why would anybody need advice on...

    A Battle Half Lost

    Even when you pay for something it is up for you to use it. I have found some great advice from books I have received but the advice isn't for me. Same thing that goes for effects goes for performance and presentation advice and tips. If you get a chance to read Bob Cassidy's fundamentals he...

    A Battle Half Lost

    Why would you be sorry, the artists publish it for you to purchase. How you use the information is completely up to you, if it goes to waste then w/e. I have bought effects that I no longer use and are probably great. Freedom is a great privilege is it not?

    How would you PRESENT this? A great exercise!

    Would you have to suspend it depending on your presentation? Perhaps if this was an opener and to simply amaze them, but I believe most people would use the Color changing deck in the middle routine or to close it. In my case, I could do some very simple suggestion techniques from 7 Deceptions...

    A Battle Half Lost

    Not quite sure what you posted about. People not using the book the way you do? I guess you are assuming because of the way they wrote down their review that they don't use it which is just absurd. I'm sure quite a few of them use the stuff it if it's that great, assumptions is the mother of...

    Christmas List Already?!

    Sounds like way to much, however you did say that you practice for roughly 14 hours a week. I watched your videos and while you certainly know the moves you lack any smoothness or elegance in your performance. You have to slow it down and not try to rush things, it will put a much more delicate...

    How would you PRESENT this? A great exercise!

    I'll be honest, it is very generic and would hope you strive for something more creative. Even if you believe it is magic it still could be so much more and relates or somehow impacts the audience on a personal level if at all possible. Remember it's all about advancing magic and yourself to...

    Clipshift

    Everybody that does the clipshift, this is what I hope you are striving for now. Bout as close to perfection as you can get. Great Job.

    How would you PRESENT this? A great exercise!

    The moveless thing isn't difficult, hell I could just palm the cards and stick them in my pocket while grabbing a sharpie for the next effect. Though looking back, it would have to be perfect. For the spongeballs effect I would use the two larger rabbits to start and then produce more...

    How would you PRESENT this? A great exercise!

    Color Changing Deck I'll go with it's a Blindsided sort of method. I would open with a short thing about suggestion and how it can influence your mind. I tell them with a force that the color of the deck is red and throughout the effect they will begin to see things and how they actually...

    How would you PRESENT this? A great exercise!

    Sponge Balls- No experience with them at all btw Start the patter about rabbits and their history of multiplying quickly with just one mate. Then go on about how hard they are to really keep track of and their elusiveness, nothing really detailed figuring the audience has some sort of clue...

    Christmas List Already?!

    If you could simply list your experience with magic and how long you have been practicing it. Mjmmagic.com has tons of stuff and is quite cheap.

    Three Effects

    Liquid Metal, Stigmata, and Emotional Intelligence. Only card effect I would perform regularly would be This N That variation.

    Creating Presentation

    I dislike using BS explanations, I used to but it took away from any real presentation that related to a audience. I also really dislike how long Ricky Jay's stories are and how they are usually unrelated to what's going on. It's fairly simple to use some sort of patter similar to mine or...

    How much is too much?

    I agree although I may not always like it I do realize failure does happen and I try to learn. Sometimes you really need to fail bad before you understand what you need to change to make your effect/performance even better.
