    Show me your website

    Mine is old as well. The pictures were meant to be place holders and I've never changed them. For best SEO results, it's best to have video on your front page. I used Wix and it was easy to setup. I didn't play around too much with the mobile version, but whenever I get to revisiting it, I will...

    Visual vs. In the spectators hands

    Though I agree with the above comments, I might push a little and say that while of course it happens in their minds, which method can me more effective in making that happen? I would lean towards in the hands just simply from the reactions I've gotten. If I do a snap change, I (or perhaps my...

    Will Tsai Matrix on AGT?

    I agree with Christopher. I was just going to post the same thing: very amazing routine that utilize a couple of methods, and it may not have been a great display of his personality.

    Walk around card magic?

    To be honest, my walk around material all comes from completely different places. I have never found one DVD or book that I use all the material. Some stuff I do I bought as single effects (Jokers Wild), and other things are from a variety of other sources (Biddle, ambitious, etc). But I don't...

    What is your favorite wrong explanation you've heard?

    Haha I love these. My wife's grandma claimed "magnets!" as the explination for me levitating a dollar bill. This thread reminds me of this bit:

    Has anyone actually had this happen?

    My experience has been that every once in a while someone mentions that I'm using a marked deck. I only use bicycle cards for shows. Around friends and family I use custom decks and have never had anyone be suspicious.
