First of all, they're so astounded that they really don't give a crap what you do next. Toss them on the table, put 'em in the deck, whatever. What I do is toss 'em down, pick up the deck, replace the cards in different locations (with 2 at the top), turn the deck face up, and clean up from...

One question about burn. Before I decide to spend more of my ever-depleting bank account, when you learn the method to Burn, do you think, "Oh [expletive]! That's ingenius!" or, "Poop, I could have thought of that." Thanks for the insight. SG

Who's up for a battle entitled, "Just Believe" in which you perform Believe, and only Believe, for an audience (preferably small). All the patter you want, but the effect has to be Believe and can't be preceded by any other effects. Best reaction(s) wins. Who's up for the challenge? PM me. SG

I actually really like this idea... It'd be great to hear from some guys, who do this to make their living, about how to manage crowds, some different heckler tips for different hecklers, and other things of the sort. SG

Too much shaking, and too obvious/exaggerated of a bend. Just bend slightly and then shake just before the change happens. SG

Is there a place I can learn the cascade control without buying an entire book? A one on one type thing? Thanks. SG

The advantage of the ring finger is that your front two fingers (pointer and middle) look natural from the front. Heck, you can even straighten then out all the way, but at minimum, at least they look natural, 'cause they aren't doing anything. SG

With regard to the: "I saw how you did that!" "[Insert filler] then you can show us all how!" approach, I've tried that approach, but has anyone ever had it work? All (I think) that does is give them the chance to ruin any "magic" you have your audience believing because he will most likely...

If you're willing to deface the Distortion gimmick, then you could potentially switch them back and forth! I'm a genius... Or, I'm not quite sure how Change will work, but that might be and option to do that too. But the Distortion deal would be a one time thing, and an expensive one time...

Perfect. Thanks for the sound advice guys. Once I get out of the country in Wyoming, I'll be hittin' up the steel wool and waiting for the deliver of my ]. Thanks again. SG

1. I'm just starting out in coin magic, but am having some problems that I'm assuming every seasoned coin person has come across. I've purchased and can perform the alternate version of CoinTwo well, except I can't figure out how to make these guys be quiet when they're rubbing up against each...

About shutting those coins up, what's the best way to make talkative coins mute? (Did I take that metaphor too far?) Thanks in advance. SG

On the topic of coins, I was online looking for a shell for a silver dollar preferably, or a half dollar. I've looked at a couple of websites, but they're all sets of 4 (and a half) coins, and sell for way to much money for my liking. Is there a place where I can just buy the shell and "hope" it...

1. What's the first trick that you perform when you approach/are approached? 2. At what age did you think/realize that magic could actually be your full-time profession? 3. How do you feel about incorporating flourishing into magic tricks (when performing live)? SG

Have you guys ever thought we have too much time on our hands? Ignoring that, I loved the photo though. SG

Going away for a couple of months is absolutely perfect for flourishing and magic too. Last Summer, I felt like I was spending to much money on magic and not practicing enough, so I decided the the Trilogy would be my last purchase. I went to a Summer program at Stanford which was perfect for...

You fools. You've all been tricked. What Daniel Madison will be releasing is a DVD on the secrets of video editing, especially effects that resemble "Change". But seriously, is it a furnished rock that you've been living under?

1) 5,430 cards 2) 5,530 cards 3) 5,330 cards I know that's right...ish SG

Not to get too philosophical, but basically technology has a huge part to it. Our generation (the young'uns), have grown up with a lot of technologically advanced stuff. This allows for communication etc. over the internet, and has thus HUGELY minimized our human to human contact. Given, this...

Well, I've been performing a lot more recently, mainly at our high school graduation parties, and I'm finding out great new, subtle crowd control techniques. My main question, is how do you guys, those who actually go out and perform, establish eye contact and maintain it (so as to keep them...
