Also, where do you work.

How much experienced did you have when you got your first gig/job? How did you get that gig/job? (Did you busk continuously or did you hand your resume' around etc) And for long time professional magicians, do you have a day job outside of magic?

This sounds interesting. I might go I haven't been to a convention before, can someone tell me what normally happens at a convention other than meeting a few famous magicians>

This effect (elevator card) has always appealed to me, ever since I saw Jeff Teo, perform it, and Chris Kenner perform shifty. I've been doing this effect for a while now and i would like some feedback from my fellow T11 members. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um_w7HAim8I Feel free to...

Same with Eddie. First saw Jumping Gemini performed by Roy Raphael and I was like "I learn how to do that", and I did. I still perform it today because it leaves spectators speechless.

What you just said is published in the Paper Engine by Arron Fisher

I think the dice might be loaded. Rolling a 3 9 times in a row is like a one in 10 million chance. Lol maybe you just got lucky that day.

The angles for ego is simple. Directly in front is the best, that is the face of the deck faces your audience. Taking that you hold the deck as a left hander like me, it is best to perform the ego change between 12 oclock and 2 oclock.

Smoke is a brilliant effect, but props do cost quite a fair amount of money and/or difficult to make. + You need to be a smoker Smoke is published in pure effect as well as his video 'Devil's Picturebook' which in my opinion is one of the greatest magic investments I have made.

I agree with eddie.. I've experimented with the Herman pass and it looks relatively the same. But still I can see you put alot of effort into hiding the change esp with the shaking at 12

Absolutely true. I also perform a classic force with some other patter, allowing the spectator to send the card to me mentally. If the mood is right, I allow a spectator to choose a card without looking, and then psychologically forcing the card. ABSOLUTELY blows them away, which is why i save...

Couldn't have been said better! Personally I do not perform with gimmicks, but I do highly respect those who can handle gimmicks and maximize peoples reactions. I don't perform with gimmicks because I get self satisfaction, knowing how I can walk into a room, and do amazing things with regular...

Shipping cards from overseas can be a hassle and Shipping is expensive. I'm from Australia too and my main sources of cards are. (in order of most cheapest to expensive) Acekicker.com (online card shop, that is Australian based) "Taylor's magic shop" in Sydney "Hey presto" in Sydney Normal...

Your magic must've been incredible. Another one of my best comments came from my performance of a mental card force during university. After revealing the card and having everyone shout and scream, a friend came up to me and said. "Why the hell are u doing engineering (my course), you...

My first deck (bicycle ghosts) lasted me about 6 months, of daily use. This was just when I was a beginner. I roughly go through a deck in 2 months now, with roughly 3 hours of use a day.

I don't normally perform much, but my best ever comment was "It's not everyday that I meet such an interesting person"

Make sure cards are smooth and focus on getting the move smooth before getting it fast. Took me 4 months to get it down, but i still cant get it 100% of the time.

For me Elevator Card > Shifty >Raise rise (too difficult to perform in public) > fallen (bad angles)

Get a punching bag Nah seriously

1) Perform in a place with plenty of ambient noise, 2) Practice! 3) Get your spectators to wear ear plugs All will work well.
