Big congratulations on all your success, and I wish you luck for your future. And about the money, its like a reverse of the "give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and you feed him for his life"; teach him the secret and you may get $500, but if you don't you may get...

You dont even know how happy this makes me. I think I must be the only one who thinks the fan backs are absolutely gorgeous, but also finds the circle backs as the most hideous cards ever made. Plus that price is awesome. A big thanks to theory11 for listening to the customers, just one of the...

True, but most of the time the songs are well known and by playing them you are kind of paying homage. When someone covers a song, noone gives them credit for making it. So the cost of playing it is covered by the praise you are giving to the band who made it. But magic is not the same. I...

Yeah Cyril is incredible. I wonder what it is like to be approached by a street magician who speaks a different language.

Dang. The tie production was great. I simply had to rewind to see when he grabbed it. Im glad he won, very simple things, yet very amazing. Even though I did not understand a word of what he said, I found his attitude and character to be very enjoyable.

Wow that is beautiful. On you on a vacation trip or do you live there? Lucky.

Anyone care to explain to a new guy what the devil Socka Trova is? It seems to be this massive inside joke, and I would love a laugh.

I think everyone hits that wall at some point in their life. Growing up we are told we can do anything and we believe it of course until reality slowly starts appearing. I think everyone who has a passion has to face whether it is going to support them and possibly your future family and other...

I never do the push off double lift. I am a little conflicted with it because when you think about it, noone lifts off a card like that. However, it is also very smooth. All I do for a double lift is touch the lower right side of the deck with my pointer finger and flip them. I have done it so...

Ditto to everything William Draven posted. Especially the line about the laws concerning you performing for money. I know the last thing you want is a suggested book, but even if everyone on the forums replied with all their one liners and tricks to make money doing magic, you would still do...

Did you try this place? It doesn't say its out of stock, added it to cart and it still didn't- maybe try contacting them and making sure they have it. http://wizardsapprentice.com/cart/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=1334

Well one thing is sure; after reading through all that I am better for it. I'm glad this was brought up and discussed so respectfully.

Famliy support is very important. My family is much more than just a "trick filter", where they see the new trick and tell me how they like it. Their support is essential to me, their approval means the world. Im a lucky guy, my girlfriend loves that I have an "art/performing" side that comes...

I have this stupid goal going on in my mind all the time when it comes to mentalism effects-"How can I use fewer "things'". I have always looked at the effects that use nothing as so much more powerful, but thats not entirely true. As others have said, with mentalism it is all about the...

Funny, even in heaven they will still cost $30. "Hey Jesus this is heaven, can't ya just give em away" "You don't do the budget Moses, I do" Not sure how Moses got into cardistry, or why Jesus is running the heaven gift shop. Jokes aside, unless you rip someone off by spotting them...

I like watching the videos on here and reading the comments and suggestions people give. I don't post myself because if I want something filmed, I have to have the spectator film it, which does not get the best angles. I don't have any magic friends, really sucks. But I have been following...

Well I have a routine that I keep ready at all times, if im using my cards. However if someone wants to to use theirs, then ACR, then triumph, then a sandwich card effect.

I rarely claim my magic tricks as anything. For me, the best way to go is to just do it, and let them watch it happen. I keep the "story" aspect of the presentations to a minimum. As an example, I have never claimed a card was actually "ambitious", nor have I claimed a deck as "haunted". I think...

For me, it was the bad reactions. When I didn't perform well and people were not amused, it made me try harder, because I knew that someday I could be good enough to amuse anyone and everyone and be the life of the party. When I met a heckler at school(where I first started performing, which was...

I have been doing magic for 6 years, but I know I am new to the forums. For that reason, I don't feel that I can vote, simply because I have not been here long enough to "earn" a vote in this matter. I mean, what do I know about it? But for what its worth from a new guy, here my 2 cents: I...
