    Collectible decks?

    I would like to clarify my earlier post. I have some decks I never use for different reasons. Some are over 100 years old. Some have an emotional attachment the deck my mentor gave me. Some I picked up for a one off gig, like a special party for a guy who played for a certain NFL team. I picked...

    Mirror VS. Spectator

    I would say the person who spent months working making it his own to fit his style and then worked it on test groups before putting into his act is better for the work. You need to know the effect the patter and how it fits you and your act before you show it to someone. Learning something today...

    The History of Magic as a Form of Entertainment

    The Ricky Jay books would be a good start. Pricey though, but well worth it if you are a student of the history of magic and street acts. Also there should be no problem talking about magic in the Bible if you frame it from a literary stand point not a theological one.

    Collectible decks?

    Some of my most valuable decks are used. Then again some of them are over 100 years old, but the only reason not to use a deck is if you are planning on reselling it. It's like guys who buy guitars and never play them. Cards are tools and tools need to be used.

    Card table pass.

    In a real money game where the deck passes with the button, there is too much heat on your hands trying to nullify the cut. Card players are a different breed then they were 113 years ago. For a gambling demo where you can have misdirection then you can get by with passes.

    Card table pass.

    Are you asking for real world use or for gambling demo use for an act? Because trying to use a pass in a real game is asking to get knee capped.

    To answer that question I have a couple. How long have you been doing magic and are you learning from books or DVDs?

    Memorable Magic?

    That is what TWO: FUSION is. You have a blue backed king and a red backed queen signed. Tear then and fuse them so the face is half of the king and half of the queen. The back is half red half blue.

    Memorable Magic?

    ONE:Twist / TWO:Fusion from Axel Hecklau. Ad copy... Tear a King and a Queen in two and fuse half King, half Queen together. Create an impossible everlasting memory for a happy couple. Maybe this is the perfect version of the Doc Eason Anniversary Walz plot. Video of the effect...

    Insane Mentalism Routine - Clarity Box

    One side thing I would look at. It is what I did when i was playing around with the box, before I went back to Boxer from Adam Wilber. I'll dump what is in the box then do the load and drop the other item like a coin or match book. So when you dump the paper out of the box the other item falls...

    When was the last time you saw real magic?

    Last week I was watching some old footage of Derek Dingle and Slydini. I would watch those two work for hours.
