Calvin...That stuff is just brilliant. And you're only 13 or something! Damn...great stuff. What made you write up a pdf instead of making a dvd?

I kind've have the same problem. But, i think my gimmick is relatively reliable & easy to make.

Hey guys, I worked on my gimmick for the trick discussed here. I'm just waiting for the empty boxes to arrive, so I can make the final 2 types of gimmick and choose the best one. I have a new trick in mind, let me explain the effect: A freely selected card can be signed, ensuring it IS...

I agree with those that have said he needs to work on his teaching and production. I think he seems to be a more of a creator, then a teacher/magician. I mean that he focuses more on the trick itself. However, I do believe that hiring someone like Dana Hocking would help out his business...

Ditto. I don't have like a written speech that I memorize, but I've performed the trick enough times to realize what is needed/what isn't and what to say. I think my magic is pretty much impromtu, i.e. very casual but killer too.:D

If you haven't heard of him, visit his site: www.kevinparkerproductions.com He isone of the magicians I look up to. His tricks are simple, visual, simple, and yet highly effective. True that there may be better versions, but I believe that his sheer creativity is just remarkable. He is...

WOW. That was great. I mean, he kept his audience so captivated at a COLLEGE party! That was just really really great. Lots to learn from that. I love the part when the girl goes "Do you guys train for this stuff?" haha, YOU BET WE DO!

yeah....What??? All I can see is one sentence in 7 lines. And the creator of bullet is by no means "a kid".

YES! I'm not the only one that smells cards.....:rolleyes: Except, I do it all the time, until it becomes nasty. When I open a deck of cards, I take none of the sticker away. I rip it in a way so that half of it sticks to the flap and then other half sticks on the top. This is done with my...

Dude, Caruso....That is an awesome effect. Although I think I know the effect (not that it matters), it's a great, great idea. Hope to see it in Subtle. :D

Another great idea! Wow, I must be really thick. Thanks for that. It will make it soo much easier to build and it will, of course, look better.

How about if I was to create an effect. Its a no-brainer for a magician, but for a spectator it kills. Would you say the trick isn't that great? Or as long as it amazes a spectator it's fine.

SERIOSULY!? THEY SELL JUST BOXES? DAMN! I wasted like, 8 bucks already... Cool , I'll go check 'em out.

What I want to do is to cut out the bottom part of the box, so it's like a 'shell'. Then make a slit at the bottom.

Where could I go to have a hand-made gimmick re-created to perfect quality? I have a gimmick made from a card box, but since it is home made, the cutting isn't perfect, it's already getting destroyed and the sides are getting frayed. Also, the cuting is pretty much way off. Where could I...

Does one of the factors regarding the strength on an effect depend on how likely it is to fool a magician? What I mean is, is a trick strong/stronger because it is able to fool a magician? Or does a tricks strength ONLY depend on how well it amazes a layman? Basically, what I'm asking is: If...

Great explanation. Sounds like Darwin Ortiz. I agree, don't make it a puzzle, but an emotional experience. To those who have complained about te spectators wanting to find out how the trick is done, and not enjoying the magic, you are far from being a great magician. It is never a spectators...

Cool idea. I don't really feel for this one, but I really look forward to seeing a performance of it from you!

OH I get it now, thanks! But it be hard to get a palmed card into the box.

So what are your suggestions for great magic books? Books that will help out in performing, or books with great card effects, or just a great read! For example, Stong Magic is a great book to read and to learn from. Any others? And what are you opinions on Card Shark by Darwin Ortiz?
