...or you could spend your time working on your magic.

Sankey's Anytime, Anywhere is a great place to start. Has a few nice impromptu card effects as well.

Great story, William. Something I do sometimes is take out my deck and say: "Do you have a favorite card?" If I get a yes I then say: "There are fifty-two different cards in the deck so it could be anything. Name your card." "Queen of Hearts." "You were thinking of the Queen of Hearts...

Swami opener is great. Grabs people's attention and is quick. Great way to hit them hard as it's simple and straight forward, then introduce yourself and what you're about and get into the show.

Lots of good ones out there. If I had to narrow it down to five though, I'd go with: •Cards Across (Las Vegas Leaper is my method of choice) •Ambitious Card (a classic for a reason) •Out of This World (spectator shuffles the deck beforehand. I use a combination of the Green Angle Separation...

That's hilarious. The story is boring but those speech inflections are pure gold.

Amazing story, man. Thanks for taking the time to share it.

I'm planning on going, but it's pending on the price of the ticket.

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed them, man. :)

Nice! Yeah, I haven't gotten around to trying out Stop yet either. Very cool though, and definitely something I want to work on.

The way I got comfortable with Control was by setting up for the classic pulse stop, then doing Control. This way if someone caught onto the method I could make an excuse for what they caught on to, and then just go into the classic pulse stop. I never had to actually use the classic pulse...
