There comes a point for every magician when they go "What do I do now".. Here are a few steps I go through when I'm in this dilemma. 1): Read up on or watch a new effect (buy a new book/ DVD) - Expert at the card table is a perfect book to buy after RRTCM 2): Learn the sleight step by...

I dont think I have created many tricks, but I have created variations of existing tricks, eg triumph, card sandwich etc.

Definitely the mental card force and then maybe Zamiels rose for the ladies.

I have always liked magic since I was young, and started performing some simple tricks back in 2nd grade to fool my classmates. Magic was always that thing that dwindled in the back of my mind and I never really took a deep interest in. I got serious just roughly one and a half years ago...

Thanks for the clarification man

color changing idea is good, but getting them to pick a card after thinking of a number is somewhat, overkill. But still great concept!

I realized recently that the rising card technique does not fascinate laymen as much as magicians. My ACR final is a combination of a rising card, deck disappearance and 4 of a kind revelation. I posted it on T11 recently, so check it out :p Hopefully my little idea has helped a few. -DL

Lol Matt Im guessing this has somewhat something to do with my elevator at the end of my contest vid. If not ill just participate in this discussion anyways. I agree when posting videos, either online or on TV. The general idea of misdirection is eliminated because a viewer can simply rewind...

here and there...quick simple direct and definitely an attention grabber with the right patter.

I guess shipping is more about the weight but also the type of shipping. Shipping DVD's requires more packaging to prevent damage and such. I bought a ring online the other day. Ring cost 15 bucks, shipping was 17. I envy all those people close to US, where magic equipment is cheaper and...

Prices in Australia are massively high! Shipping from overseas is probably worse. Trilogy at my local magic shop. Is a whopping $150!!! System is $70 Normal bikes for $10 (which is why 808cards rock) Dont even ask about the m5 system...kills you about half a grand.

ROFL thats hilarious

With all the threads on the best reactions people got, I decided to find out how bad reactions can get from my fellow T11 members. Ill start off One day at university I was teaching a guy how to do a maths question. I was like "hey do you wanna see some magic?" he was like "yeh sure"...

I was in the same positions as you. Its easy to find balance...just do what you enjoy, I also spend more time on flourishing now, but I am genuinely more passionate about magic. My tip is, do both and maybe incorporate some flourishing into magic. e.g I use Jackson5 as a top pack retention...

Im both a flourisher and a magician and use a deck of cards on average 4 hours a day. I have been doing this for roughly one and a half years.:) During this time I have only used up 2 decks of cards (Ghosts and tally09)...but that doesnt make me crap doesnt it?? (well maybe). Its not the...

LOL problem solved!

-David Copperfield -Derren Brown -Bill Malone -Lee Asher! (proof that being left handed doesn't disadvantage you in any way)

Lol at Shaun

1 deck of ghosts: Used for 8 months for 4+ hours a day 1 deck of Tally Ho 9's: Used for 6 months for 5+ hours a day. No fanning powder. You do the math.

The routine is pretty good. Nice mix of everything from card magic, to mentalism to magic using props. A small problem may be the preparation required prior to each of these tricks. When creating a routine, I would say it is important to ensure that each trick sets up on another and have the...
