Fairly sure this is linked heavily with suggestion and hypnosis. The video itself I found was pretty much something to transfix you attention laced with binaural beats. You have to watch the whole show I guess. Either way Derren and his team are geniuses and have pulled this off extremely well.

In Sydney Australia -Illegal to busk without a license -Illegal to play cards inside some areas shopping centers (think its gambling) -Illegal to create a public nuisance e.g. doing magic on the streets for fun and creating lots of drama that disturbs others -Illegal to do any form of...

Running L-cuts. Hands down =D

Tally's = Cheap and great for fanning. If you want to dedicate your time to fanning as well I suggest you invest in fanning powder.

It really depends on how you like your cards to feel, in the end cards are just cards. However if you want to go in depth. Normal bikes 7/10 Bicycle Vintage 8/10 Tally Ho #9s 9/10 Split Spades 9/10 This is solely my rating, but I think that Split Spade lions are a GREAT investment.

I learned the Anaconda (not the proper way) and the EyeCut back in 2006 . Both of which I can say is the most flashiest moves that I do. (The card spring takes number 1, however I didn't learn that until late 2008, guess I ran before I could walk) Overhyped? Maybe, because the Virts are...

Not bad, but definitely room for improvement. As mentioned before, I believe it would be better with one more rise. 2 Rises is not enough to register for laymen, contrary to what other magicians might think. The motion itself was good, and the depth of shaking will reduce with practice. Keep...

Very well put and said!

Well I say, if you discovered it independently then you have all rights to perform it. However do give credit where it is needed. A majority of the magic world is a rip off of old effects. eg Thread by Wayne Houchin is apparently an old Carnies trick that has been around of a while. Just...

Then again you can't make that assumption that people can forget problems that easily. Everyone is different so they handle their own problems differently. Those exercises are adapted by many people in industry, as they cannot merely 'Forget' their problems.

People saying just to forget what happened clearly has not experienced a "bad day" for performance. Bad days happen to everyone, including the best performers. A simple exercise for everyone! -Take a step aside/ go outside and take a few deep breathes and count backwards from 10 to 1...

Interesting you guys have posted such great answers. I believe asking yourself this question is a way to make your magic stronger and luckily, there are ways to achieve such affects written here (at least in the mind of the spectator). The point was to prove that being magicians, we can do...

lol great idea ideas. The point of this post was to think of ways to replicate your wish (if you really did have magical powers). e.g David Copperfield flying is considered one of the all time greats, because it is a dream of so many.

After reading Maximum Entertainment by Ken Weber (highly recommended). There was a part that really stuck with me. Usually the strongest of all magic, is when people wish they really had that ability. e.g If you really had magical powers, you would fly, levitate, read minds, produce money out of...

Quite a fair share of magicians have read that book including myself. It is considered the 'bible' of modern day pickup, however I have to admit, I don't personally agree with everything. I know a few people/ magicians who have a broad knowledge on this subject, and you my friend (the person...

OMG antifarooo freaken hard brooo!

Definitely some extremely stupid posts here that is worth a good laugh =D $1000 bucks is common for a trick from a pro. Obviously a majority of you guys here do not perform magic professionally for a living (and neither do I) so its unreasonable to say this is extreme marketing and hype...

The most practical color changes imo are: Erdnase Classic color change Shapeshifter by Marc Desouza Cardini Change Winter Change by John Cornelius I personally use the Shapeshifter and Winter Change quite often when performing. Winter Change is more difficult than the Erdnase, however I use...
