Well, Be Honest, What is it?, should almost certainly come after a single card transposition. There are no rules as to what will work and what won't, you just need to be creative and work out what the direction of your routine is. Maybe you could start with a transposition of two cards as...

They can't ban coins. ;) Joe

You might want to check this out. It looks incredibly similar to a couple of versions from this DVD. http://www.hanklee.org/xcart/product.php?productid=8950&cat=0&page=1 Also, as a suggestion, don't pull them apart so quickly. It currently almost tips the method the fact that they come apart...

Some that haven't already been mentioned... Strong Magic by Darwin Ortiz Williamson's Wonder's by Richard Kaufman (on the work of David Williamson) Art of Astonishment 1-3 by Paul Harris Card Manipulations 1-5 Jean Hugard

I initially wasn't too fussed about there being a prize, but... That's one hell of a prize >_> Joe

Woah man, where've you been hiding?

Simon Lovell gave some very good advice in the Kenner issue of Reel Magic regarding business cards. You'll want good quality stock, for a start. Don't be afraid to spend a little money, though I'm not sure printing on playing card stock would be too cost effective. Simon says, also, to avoid...

As a hobbyist, the reputation I have that I can actually see is limited to friends of friends of family, and the most remembered effect seems to be the card to mouth, which I finish my ACR with. It might just be because it's what I do most, though. Joe

I might have a go. Depends on whether or not I feel I have something to say on the topic. Joe

You again highlight your ignorance. You haven't really read any of what I have said. I was prepared to leave further discussions on this to PM, but I cannot have you continuing to undermine a valid contribution I made to the topic. Most importantly, you are still misrepresenting my position. If...

If that was meant to be a light jab, then it was a very irresponsible one. Directly implying a stranger has poor communication skills via a forum in which tone can be little expressed? To be honest, though, even delivered with a light hearted laugh, it is pretty mocking to tell somebody you...

Sorry Morgician, my last post was possibly a little too harsh, but seeing as I have not been around for the past few months, I thought there wouldn't be any harm in also giving my own input on the official topic of the thread rather than one of the conversations that has spawned from it that I...

I think you've completely misinterpreted my post by jumping to conclusions about my stance. You seem have just argued several of the things that I often find myself arguing. I think you were too quick to read what I said and actually take in the meaning of what I was saying, and I almost find it...

I just say it's the world's fastest card trick. Everyone is familiar with the idea of a card being put back into the deck and then a magician somehow finding it again, though most people associate this with tedious counting sequences, sets of questions and answers, or at the very least looking...

Haha! That was great! Loved the hypnotic induction and h1n1 trick :P Joe

Hey guys, does anyone have this DVD? The effect that most interests me is the triple prediction, but I haven't been able to find a review that says anything at all about this effect. If you have it, do you perform it? When is it feasible to do?

Which of these do you think you spend most time doing? Do you think you spend your time wisely? Which do you think make the best use of your time? What would you like to be spending more time on? EDIT: Sorry, this was supposed to go in general.

I believe I read this idea in one of Jean Hugard's books, possibly in More Card Manipulations, but I might be wrong. I developed by own handling which is done vertically which played well while I was using it, not great for larger audiences, though, due to bad angles. I haven't seen your precise...

DO you have a routine with only one coin? What do you do? I don't do coins often. Normally only when asked to do something and have nothing prepared. Here is what I normally do using one coin... I begin by penetrating a 10p through my hand (both ways), and sometimes also make it penetrate my...

Derren Brown took mentalism to the street (and many other places). He's possibly also gone a step further, now, by taking stage mentalism into the viewers living rooms. What's next after that? Work that out, and you might be the next big star. >_> Joe
