    Card Trasportation

    I've found any clip to be effective to be honest. I'm up in Canada and it's colder here (just had a big dump of snow on Wednesday). So cards warp easy because the body heat is warm and the outer part of the pocket is colder. Though your climate will affect differently than here

    Pointers on 'Magicians Choice'

    One way you could word it is "We need to narrow these down. Choose a card to keep" then if needed "now choose a second one to keep. You say great,give them a chance to change their mind and continue appropriately. Then say that you will narrow things down further - have them slide one card...

    Card force with 10-15 cards or less

    Bill Abbott has a method that would work available in his Smart Ass routine that could work very well. Personally I would do a cull like others mentioned.

    Video Taping yourself

    Ugh. I just wanted to say how much I hate watching myself perform. I'm just looking back at my most recent stage performance (haven't even started writing notes yet!) and there's so much to work on! I see so many little things that I dislike. It's discouraging, frustrating, and embarrassing...

    Chair Test/Prediction

    I just picked up Cody Fisher's comedy Confabulation. I don't have a lot of experience in confabulations but it's very slick and easy to do. http://www.codyfisher.com/store/comedy-confabulation-professional-edition/ I haven't used it in a show yet, and I'm still tweaking it to fit my style. Luke...

    Challenge for Magicians! (Really interesting)

    lol so true! I used to spend money on every little new trick. Now I buy less, but the stuff I buy is much more expensive, but I spend just as much! I need to go back to the library and reread the free stuff there!

    Anyone else hate the Shapeshifter as a color change?

    Same here. It fooled me when I first saw it (though maybe I'm not too smart). It's part of my go-to routine that I learned in 2001, so I've literally done it thousands of times. I've had one kid say something in 14 years. I've been called WAY more on the double lift than on the shapeshifter. Yet...

    Anyone else hate the Shapeshifter as a color change?

    I love it. The routine I use it in has momentum and I don't give them time to really sit and think about it. It gets huge reactions from people - laypeople love it! Years ago I had a very young kid figure it out. Kids think differently than adults do though. Most adults take the card from me and...

    Magicians: Effects and Professionalism

    I handed a guy a deck once and he said "hey this isn't a full deck" (I had four cards removed for a packet trick). Also a poker player.

    Tricks That You Wish You Could Do

    For years the through glass effect used to boggle my mind.

    Mentalism Help

    Heh, it would be interesting to have a slip of paper folded by the till and after someone orders, to ask for the paper and open it up and it has a number that matches their order amount. Or has a list of the exact order - that would be cool too.

    Good to see you back Steven! Long time. It's great to see that you've been active. Are you doing much performing? Looks like you've been working a bit from your website

    "Best" close-up / street card-magic tricks?

    On that tangent, this is my favorite tenyo trick. I had it when I was little and tracked one down for my daughter
