That sounds like quite a good idea... Maybe I shud've started with something les impacting as Stigmata. Maybe a simple 2 Card Monte could've let me build up the hype easier (stigmata is quite hard to top!). I just didnt expect him to want more...it was actually the first time someone came...

I performed Stigmata to two of my friends. One of them had a "DAMN! Oh ****" reaction. The other one was slighly more amazing, asking me to show him more, and he kept asking- "show me more man!", etc. In the end I didn't show anymore, because I wanted to leave him wanting more, so he would...

I haven't ever encountered any problems with performing at school. I perform at school when I get the chance, or if I feel like amazing people that day :p. Yes, I have shown some tricks where some friends did know the secret, but it surely not because of Youtube, or because someone exposed it to...

It would be a much better 'story' if the english amde better sense.

What do I think? I think that his thread should be closed as it is clearly some sort of advertisment for a poor effect from an unprofessional site.

No magic is cliched, broing or whatever... If you prove to your spectators that you really ARE the best maician they've ever seen (as Lee Asher says) then it doesn't matter if you do it with cards, coins, tissue paper, or fart gas. With your presentation, PROVE to the spectators that you...

This thread is really funny and inteeresting. And to the inital poster, I don't think pics of ur gf were neccessary.....^o)

Well, Control is such a powerful effect by itself, so I'd say nothing before it. COntrol on its own is so DAMN powerful! (Sorry, I HAD to curse)

It's all about auidence management. As Allan said, you need to adjust to the position of your audience. For example, if you were doing the balducci levitation, you may want to do it in an alley, against walls, etc. to make sure everyone is watching from the right angle.

How am I supposed to structure my Card Magic routine? i want to encorporate the followin tricks into a routine, but I don't know where to start: Here then There and/or Two Card Monte Panic ACR Biddle Trick Its nt many tricks, but I want to start out small first...

Although the routine sounds great to me, and it seems like you have everything under 'Control'...I do agree that you should maybe start with something more visual and where the spectator can sit and watch (i.e. Panic- which is an excellent opener). i don'nt think bound would be all that great...

If you are a retiree and have lots of time, magic could be a really big part of you. If you are new with magic, start witht he basics as others have said. Don't go out and just buy single trick dvds out there jsut because they amaze you... With the basics at least you can perform more...

A real perfromance would be nice... But since it is your first video and not 'perfromance' then good job? You've shown that you can perform these effects smoothly...Now go out and capture a vid of a REAL performance!!

Well, i'm...like...15, can't get a job or my own credit card... Now don't get me wrong, I really am not one of those people who get every new thing out there. Just taht some things seem amazing to me and I really feel I need to add them to my repertoire.

How do I tell my parents I want to spend another 80 bucks (or more??) on 3 tricks.... I mean, I've spent a lot of their money already, on things (magic) they see as a waste of time almsot and a hobby that i focus too much on. I NEED to use their credit card, so waht do I tell them...

Thanks a lot for the help! But sorry taht wasn't rea;;y ,my question. You told me how to earn money, but I should have made things clearer. I want to know how people like chose what to get and what not to get. Everything seems really really impressive, and I beleive it coulda ll be worth...

I'm sure a lot of us here are having financial problems of our own, or our parents because of all the new 'must-have' material sold primarily by Ellusionist and Theory11. I want you to believe me when I say that I do not buy every new, cool thing that is realeased. Over the past 6 months...

Books have their pros and cons jsut like DVDs and video. For example, in books, you can find really detailed explanation and some really useful information. However, they do tend to be more time consuming and 'annoying' for those who don't like reading. DVDs are easier to watch and uses...

I completley agree. There are sometimes really pointless and stupid, or senseless posts on this forum. However, with that said, it's not like we can do anything about it. You can't change the way people talk, or what they post and because of this it is hard to refine this site.

...Great.... Want to answer my question now?
