Best Daniel Madison voice impression? [kidding]

This method will require a sharp knife, gloves, ski mask, tarp, shovel, transportation to undisclosed location *cough W:H's house cough*, and the willingness to take a human life. Only kidding. Well, despite your or his age, you deserve your privacy and time for yourself. Simply tell him...

Excuse my acronym troubles, but what does OHTP stand for, again?

Good point, very good point actually. I still feel that to truly learn to manipulate an audience and control them you have to just do it. No book will offer the 100% right method for every situation, only experience will.

For a trick you just created and have not put years of performance, work and effort into it... penguin is probably correct.

In the words of Katie Egelston, "Lets get back to the magic.. Magic is fun" C=B

I want to apologize for not catching the "this was a year ago" thing before... where was my head... I totally missed it.

Well, i'm not Tom Isaacson, but perhaps I can offer a suggestion. I really like the line he uses in performance "If I asked you to give me your money, you probably wouldn't trust me, right?" this is fantastic. You could approach someone and simply ask if they want to see magic, deliver that...

1 Month and 1 day away... And less then 1 month from Psycho... I now see why people like summer so much...

Wow, they are giving it away? Dang.

Firstly, mucho respecto for going out there and just doing it, good work. Anything I say here is simply to help, please understand that. First, 2 Card Monte. I noticed there was no "routine" to it, you just started "switching" cards. You don't need some big patter fest, but some sort of patter...

Honestly, The Expert At The Card Table by S.W. Erdnase is the best card table gambling artifice ever written. If you really do not want a book, there is a DVD companion but it is meant to be done along with the book. The book itself is only about 10 dollars ($5 from lybrary.com I believe) but...

Sure you can, but reading it does not make it applicable to you or any given performance. It must be practiced to be truly understood and learned. If you read about a sleight, it doesn't make it doable, only practice does, and the same applies for audience management. Unfortunately (or...

One note, Audience Management can only truly be learned through experience and trial and error, no book can teach you that.

That is a very good point, and one I, in a sense, agree with. However, I do not play it off as duplicating one card "magically". I am simply showing 3 cards I had "prepared earlier" and then a 4'th which is the card they signed. The real magic is that the 3 duplicates vanish leaving just the...

I do not personally own it just yet, but everyone I have talked to say it is phenomenal. There are several reviews across the net (cafe has a good one) on it.

Google Instinct by Matthew Mello, said to be one of the best "russian roulette" style effects out there.

Not to jump on the difficulty ban wagon (as I have no problem with learning knuckle busting sleights), but what other sleight, in difficulty, would you compare this move to? Also, can it be used a regular shift? Thanks

Regardless, the pass is still never going to be completely invisible. There will always be something to see in a pass. Akira Fuji has a hell of a pass, at the correct angle that it is always shot at. I'm not saying that the pass cannot be performed well to the point that no one is going to...

There is a card magician I know that has the best opinion on the pass, ever. He says that it will NEVER be invisible, so give that up right now. But, as far as passes go, the Dribble Pass or Midnight Shift are actually decently easy versions of the classic pass that you can use while working on...
