I still think Michael Ammar's "Complete Intro to Coin Magic" is the best place to start, both for the value and the material. As always with Ammar, everything is well taught and well laid out. He covers everything you need to know to start out. Sleights Fingerpalm Classic Palm Thumbpalm Getting...

I've never liked the effect, but Mike's handling of it is killer. Very smooth and clean.

Awesome. Thanks. That's part of why I wrote it up--the more you know what you're looking for before you start the easier it is to decide if an effect is right for you when you see it. Not sure, but it sounds like maybe you've just gotten too comfortable with the material you've been doing for...

Your opening reply to my post was: "This is ridiculous." ...I'll leave it at that as to why I have no interest in taking the time to respond to your post.

These are just some ideas I wanted to share on how to build a diverse and effective repertoire. I know this is something a lot of us are constantly striving for, so I thought the topic was a worthwhile pursuit. So whether you're looking to just add a new effect to the material you're already...

Ditto everything Casey said. Everything he said is spot on and good advice. (Also, there is no distinction between the two phone numbers you have listed, and the card fan shot is too cliche'.)

Maybe it's just me, but I hate it when magicians produce coins from their elbows, knees, and ears. It doesn't make sense. No intelligent audience thinks you are actually pulling coins out of your elbows. It's intellectually insulting and silly. Why would a coin be in your elbow? Also, how does a...

Always enjoy Jamie's Magic Friday reviews.

I have a good friend who, for years, worked at a casino and cheated as a dealer. From everything he's said, and the stories he's told, the zarrow shuffle was essential to what he did.

Welcome, guys. Glad this helped. That's why I made it. :)

I wonder if--for some reason completely unknown to me--they just think it's cool to misspell "club" with a k, or if it's just another bad grammar mistake, like how they spelled "you're" as "your" in the video.

You don't need to personally know the people in the story/effect of Portal for it to be effective. Copperfield gives you all the info about them necessary for it hook and resonate. Just because it isn't spelled out for you, or you don't get it, doesn't mean there isn't a meaning or a message...

Not to be rude, but I don't think you have seen much of Copperfield. Copperfield is the man at providing context and meaning with his magic.

Copperfield was great. He did a lot with his time without rushing anything. Wish he would come back for another special.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do once your loops get dirty. The best thing to do, I've found, is try to push all the lint down to one spot on the loop and then try to keep that spot on the back of your wrist or hand as you do your loop work.

Awesome. I never watch the show but I'm going to make sure I tune in tomorrow night to see DC. Thanks for the heads up on this, Dodd.

Here's a video of Josh Funk's "Breathe" with Wayne Houchin playing piano.

Awesome. Thanks for the info, man.

It's been up on Paul Harris's website for a while now.

We did contribute, you just didn't appreciate it or see the value in the suggestions. And grammar, apparently, was the issue as the feedback you got on your actual tips was positive and the feedback you got on the issue of the grammar was unanimously accurate and forthright.
