One of the most complicated things I've read, but thanks for the input! Ill think about it!

So I've been thinking, lets say you have a trick and you need a prop of some sort, whether it is cards, coins, a card box, cases, etc. Would you let the spectator examine it before or after the trick? (or even both, but that is 'over-proving') Some tricks reuire that you can only show...

Like, in the mirror the illusion looks great. But in real life, people can easily find out the method, and they have said "this on isn't good compared to your others"

Well, as much as I'd like to yes YES to your question...Honestly it is a no-yes. YOu ahve to have thr giht combo of coin& bottle. I.e. some coins may not work with some bottles....:(

Yeah it resally doesnt matter...I have a variation where the spec can shuffle too. Can someone help me out with the actual illusion though? In real life it's not that great.

Yeah.....what?

Thanks for the info Shodan. But there's nothing really the same as this I believe, so it's pretty much original?

Thanks so much guys. I think pulling the card face down won't be too hard to alter. Any other tips on making the actual illusion stronger? (Someway to show the card pulling out), etc. Has this thing been done before?

Hey! A fellow IB student. Or soon to be IB student...I'm in year 11 and starting IB next year. How does this apply to TOK?

I ahve no problem with people expressing their feelings toward anoher (very successful magician/creator). But it just sucks to see the line get crossed and peiople start attacking people, when they are in fact NOTHING compared to the 'victim'. But I do agree that Jay Sankey wouldn't fit here.

Have you ever created an effect, a sleight or presentational method? But was the idea crushed because you couldn't think of ways to make it the way you REALLY wanted it ? If so, then I hope this thread will help you out. What I want here is a thread where people can help others with their...

If you're going to say that you've got good spelling, or that you changed your spelling...Might want to make sure you can actually spell first:

I'm about halfway through Darwin Ortiz's book "Strong Magic". I don't plan on reiterating what he has written, or in this case, 1/1000 of waht he expalins. I'm just here to help out those who are just starting to perform, or want to make their magic more enjoyable, entertaining and just make the...

WOW! He went as far as using an earpiece? Must've been a large-scale cheating process! Learning how to cheat would be really aweomse :P

Glen West's example was very good. To answer your example Anonymus II, if the storekeeper said "Why would you want pepsi?" and then GAVE me directions on where they are I would ahve no problem. My aim is to find pepsi, as long as they tell me where it is, it's fine. I would ust say "Because...

Not top burst your bubble, but..: A) What's the point of a 'core' group/team thingy? B) What's this about 'underground'...What IS underground in your view?

Who could I ask (preferably an experienced and 'qualified') to help me refine and improve a trick I have?

Interesting, just what I expected for most people.... So how do you go about checking to see if has been done before? I mean, magic is a huge art, and there is not one place where you can find all tricks and sleights ever invented. How would you go about checking to see originality. If...

Before I ask my question, let me give some people advise. Lets say you've created and effect, a move whatever. You will be VERY excited to show it the next day, even more excited than learning a new move since the trick is YOUR OWN!. But control yourself. Don't perform it. Ask just 1 or 2...

That was tight. Except 'overused card magic', and every single piece of magic can be made amazing with the right presentation.
