Actually, I know several techinques to induce this kind of trance. It's not really hard, there's just a few "not following what is expected" moves that are subtle works incredibly. What PjPinsonnault posted got it completely right. There are other techinques including how to make a person...

I'm intrigued. I know the Hi-Lo (Plus-Minus) system, but I don't gamble, so I really haven't used it. What I'd like to know is if any sort of card counting method is used in any magic effects? Anyone know of any?

Good to see you're doing well. :) Hope you are even more successful as you continue on your tour! But one question: What is this "nice" that you speak of in your topic????????? :D

With all due respect, can you find out where those particular Brown Wynns are sold? I've just done a search and I did find Brown Wynns, but not the same kind that T11 were selling.

OMG. I've bought four!!!!! (ROFLMAO!!!! That was great, Bao!!!!)

I bought two! :) I'll let you know how it turns out.

Okay, is it my dirty mind but could the whole list of 10 theories, when read in reversed order, makes an outline for a cheap, sleazy story....? 1. Production 2. Vanish 3. Transposition 4. Transformation 5. Multiplication 6. Penetration 7. Restoration 8. Suspension 9. Levitation 10...

Gustavo Guimaraes is right. First, you have to be absolutely sure of the performace of your effects. Know which ones you're goiing to do. The next thing you have ask yourself is "Why?" Simple question, but a big answer. You have to know Why you choose these effects. You have to know...

To be honest, I have the exact same problem! I'm lucky, though because I have some people I do shows for, so I don't perform street magic or street hypnosis. Personally, I think the idea of just doing some flourishing, letting the people come to you first is a great idea. Or approaching...

That's great! I haven't heard of him but I'm going to look him up now!

figures. I would participate but I'm getting major dizzy spells tonight so I can't. (I know it sounds like an excuse, but I've had dizzy spell problems for most of my life).

No new 1 on 1, yet either... When I finally got the page playing card loaded, they were sold out... oh well......

Yeah, that's what happened to me too. :-( Oh well....

I am also anti-religious. Aaaaaaaaand I'm going to leave it at that. Now I've answered that several times over in this thread, but Steerpike put it much more elloquintly than I have: Now, again, you may hate Criss for all I care. But Jim is crossing a line for exactly the reasons stated...

I think FadedTemp answered that question the best way: ...and how convient for Jim to find a dead guy who has no living relative contact him from the "beyond". Great way to make it harder to verify.... How are they contradictory? Let me boil it down: People don't need much pushing to...

I don't do haunted magic like Steerpike, he has the expertise there. But I do mental magic, such as hypnosis, and I know how easy it is to decieve and exploit people. Get this through your heads: even when you tell someone outright that you are peforming a trick, something anyone can do...

Thanks for the add the kind words. And what you say is right, too.

LOL. He physically PULLED the announcer to make sure he was "held back". Great find, there, Steerpike! What I don't get is why we are still posting to this thread. It really doesn't matter. Jim is a terrible actor; he tries to convince people he has a "power" but doesn't use that...

Here's what I posted: Nice job of editing. You successfully used Criss' words and effects and added other people's words so that it fits what you wanted him to say. And at least Criss did give a disclaimer. Jim on never did or has. Jim persists that he has a power and when it was challenged...

Steerpike, I don't think Brian knows what a strawman is, considering he's using so many he has a army of scarecrows. :) EllisG, I have to agree with you there. :)
