    d+M Trilogy

    Probably cause you're looking for tricks to take away, as you said in One man... Three is a huge number of interesting sleights, less tricks than One.

    ACR Battle

    That was rather unnecessary... Sure man, send me a challenge :)

    Picking up girls through cards or magic... share your stories!

    Oh sure, yeah I totally understand that, I was just saying my point as a note. Incidentally, the aforementioned story is here. http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=11067&highlight=Performance

    Problem with a friend when performing

    Hey man, that's totally normal... Honestly, stuff like just taking deep breaths, consciously trying to relax muscles, staying warm (hands around a hot cup of coffee or something), relax and remember to just talk to them as though you were anywhere else, as friends, will help lesson the nerves...

    So you've vanished the deck...

    That'd work if I was lapping the deck ^^' Thanks for the comments guys... I'm siding with general consensus here and pulling it out at an offbeat. Incidentally Dima my vanish is fine but the Figaro Transfer needs a bit of work still to make perfect... Ah well.

    Pass

    That was slightly unnecessary... I'm sure the battle will be just fine

    Conversation Magic

    The Omen, in Aaron Fisher's book The Paper Engine, is a patter-based version of Jumping Gemini (Darwin Ortiz) which you might like... Any sort of triumph routine opens up a great opportunity for patter... You can look into mentalism prediction effects too I guess..

    Hey man - I just wanted to say hey and welcome, I noticed you're new around here ^^ Thanks for the review, and age shouldn't be a problem anyway, it's good to see really young people around too :)

    Stud Playing Cards Review

    I think I should mention for the record that they are EXTREMELY thin, and very soft and flexible.

    FINALLY - A New 1-on-1!

    Yes but... a) The 1-on-1 teaches you much more than you could ever do by yourself. If you practiced that for a year, you still would not have the subtleties required for it. b) It teaches technique, where, whilst you might technically have it down, you can't actually perform it. For example...

    Picking up girls through cards or magic... share your stories!

    Sure, magic is a way to approach people. I'm gonna do a bit of mindreading though, and predict that people will subsequently say, or at least think or agree with this, that magic by itself won't get you girls. There've been topics about this, but it's not about the magic, it's about you. If...

    d+M Trilogy

    I don't know about his Trilogy, but Mystique on Dangerous isn't very difficult technically for the most part, it's fairly simple and just requires you to focus on presentation, only a few non-impromptu, mostly impromptu.

    FINALLY - A New 1-on-1!

    Damn it, VWind beat me to what I was gonna say. He thinks he's so cool and stuff, but honestly... (<3) The production wowed me, especially the first one, although I've never really gotten into coins, very impressive! Well done guys, and never could've guessed Doug...

    FINALLY - A New 1-on-1!

    Rabid was arguing that it was sad that when the 1-on-1's stopped, people could've used the break to look up where to find the moves they wanted taught themselves. Instead, they just sat around and complained about the lack of 1-on-1's that they personally wanted, and you agreed... First or...

    Live Flourishing

    Yep and we basically all said we did that... You were accusing people of only flourishing at home? Until now you haven't mentioned a thing about actually filming it. Let me quote... Hmm. No filming there. .....If your posts didn't change everytime, I'd have some motivation for arguing with...

    FINALLY - A New 1-on-1!

    Skylark: Basically getting any number of cards to wherever you need them in the deck, secretly, eg spread cull, from a spread, cull shuffling, from an overhand shuffle... /facepalm... If you're too lazy to go source the moves yourself and then complain that T11 isn't teaching you the moves...
