My recommendation is that you put in the effort to read the book trick by trick. You will find effects that work for you which may not work for other people. If we give you recommendations, those are the effects that work for us... and they might not necessarily work for you. The worst case...

I agree with @Al e Cat Dabra -- better to use pants or a jacket (or the ball holders I suggested above. I use jacket pockets and have never had any issues.

It is used to describe magic tricks a dealer wants you to buy.

@Zenn_Magic - The deck isn’t worth the pocket space. Spend your time focusing on making your performances more entertaining and less of a look at what I can do. Hecklers are created when they feel challenged. Often a challenge is unintentional. People don’t like to be fooled, they like to be...

Write "love" on the advertising card in the deck to remind you of two of Tamariz's veils of magic - love of magic and love of your audience. Look at it before each performance and remind yourself that if you put both of those loves into your performances, you will not have any hecklers.

And they were laughing at the end :) That is also a matter of knowing your audience and presentation. My presentation was about having my white dove named Barbie appear from the silks, I talked about visualization of the white of the dove -- "like the white of a wedding dress and visualizing...

To be able to recreate the feeling you get when you see an amazing movie. You laughed, you worried, your heart beat with excitement, you teared up and swallowed hard, your emotions went on a roller coaster and you left believing that just maybe there is something that you can take from in the...

It comes down to Tamariz's "love your audience" and if the effect is within the bounds of your character. If the audience senses that you are having fun WITH them, the will react differently than if you are performing at them. Also, as others have said, read your audience. My performances...

I'm not sure you are going to find a lot of disagreement. Most of us on the forums recommend Cassidy's Fundamentals. We also recommend Fulves Self-Working Mental Magic and Anneman's Practical Mental Magic. We typically refer to 13 Steps as a secondary reference. If you read Anneman's book...

Yes, but it is important that the audience nonetheless BELIEVES. Otherwise, you might as well perform cardistry or juggling because the performance of magic becomes a demonstration of a skill. One of my favorite quotes is from Richard Covey, the author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People...

Sonata is hard to find. I had heard that it will be republished around the same time as the English release of Tamariz’s Magic Rainbow.

Organic, impromptu, not gimmicked, fully examinable, organic, end clean, easy, can perform right out of the box and organic. Also, words like kills and slays. Oh... “it fooled me” And, “the Best Magic Trick I’ve seen” since the last one Intold you was the best. One last one... “organic” -...

You could use a O.. W.. F...... D...

@Lord Magic , reading this (in combination with other posts you have made) gives me a distinct impression that you define magic as having a method that is not discoverable and you are seeking to "fool" your audience with a "trick" that results in "bewilderment" about the method. Nobody likes to...

Letting the audience draw their own conclusions is not lying. If someone asks me if my magic is real, my response is "Seeing magic with your eyes and believing it in your mind is all that is required to make it real."

I don't think the problem is limited to mentalism. Most magicians don't put the required effort into developing and performing their magic. Often there is nothing but the trick. In either magic or mentalism, our methods are not what entertains. Rather it is the effort we put into our...

So, I perform a lot of effects that many would label boring: Egg Bag Linking Rings Cups and Balls McCombical Deck (a sucker / magician in trouble effect where the audience does believe I'm in trouble) Baffling Bra (performed once for my in-laws) My view is that it isn't the effect but the...
