I'm almost certain it was deliberate. It would have been easy to get it spot on. I'm not sure of the motives to getting it wrong, though. Maybe time will tell? Consider this, though. As well as there being a foolproof method to achieving the correct number (In fact, I thought of two off the...

It's a bit hard to tell from the video quality. It looks like the fuzz might be hiding the flick a bit, but even so, it appears to be performance worthy. Your riffle pass is particularly good, I think. Good job. Joe

I really cannot understand what all the bashing is for! Does it make you feel better in yourself to point out a few minor flaws in an otherwise decent and crowd-pleasing performance? Maybe you think perfect sleights are more important than the experience of the audience. If so, then that...

I am not a beginner, but with the name Joshua Jay attached to it, I had to have a look at "Magic, The Complete Course". Let me tell you, finally coming to review this is a bit of a daunting task. Every aspect of this product stands out as top of the league, and there a lot of aspects to this...

That is seriously slick! I love the version where you quickly jerk the card up a bit to do the change, because it completely hides any flicking and just looks so clean. I'm shocked that you can also do that with jumbo cards >_> Joe

Aw man! I missed it! :o Huruey

Thanks guys! Glad you like it :D I do prefer the white myself. That's how I designed it. I inverted it as an afterthought. I used Photoshop 7 to make this design. In response to those suggesting I get some of these made, I've told myself many times that I get my own design printed, and...

I haven't done one in a while, so I decided to do another card design. My last attempt at elegant ended up turning into a blood stained horror themed deck, so I thought I'd have another attempt at elegant. >_< Please note that this has been done from scratch, no images copied from the internet...

A little something I made about half a year ago and have performed quite a bit, now. I don't think I did a particularly good job in the video but it's I hope you'll get the idea. I normally do the first phase into a spectator's hand. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xjjaccHsGxA&fmt=18 It's...

My Entry This stuff is so hard at 2:00am in the morning >_< Ah well, I had a go anyway... :P My Entry: http://vimeo.com/2318780 Huruey

Some people here definitely have misdirection confused with something else. Being able to misdirect well is as much a skill as being able to perform a sleight well, possibly even more so. As Bijlogg said, true misdirection leaves an audience thinking that they were watching the whole time...

Okay, this isn't a particularly serious one. A friend of mine challenged me to do something along these lines. I didn't really put too much effort into it :P. Huruey

Be careful that you don't insult their intelligence or anything. Huruey

Here's some ideas for you. Never reveal your methods. "How did you do that!?" Approach 1: Standard lines... "I sometimes don't know how I do it myself..." "Very well, don't you think?" "Sorry, I can't tell you that..." "Why not?" "Ever heard of the Magic Mafia? That's why..." Approach 2...

I think having a standard greeting is different to having a strictly scripted and rehearsed greeting. Everyone is different, and by treating every audience you have in exactly the same way, from greetings to goodbyes, you lose that important personal touch. I think that the way in which...

I don't think having a rehearsed way of approaching people is a good idea, unless your style and character really require it. I'd personally avoid any style or character that prevents me from being natural or real. Huruey

My proposal in this thread might not be everyone's "style", but I thought I'd share my thoughts anyhow. Performing for strangers is difficult, and can sometimes be quite awkward, so in my opinion, its not worth doing. Instead, when you intend to perform for people you have never met before...

No I wouldn't buy it, and yes it has been done before. http://www.alanrorrison.com/New%20site/Pulled.html Hope this helps. Huruey
