So I've been seeing a lot of close friends and family recently, and I was told it was illegal to perform on the streets. So 3 questions: Would it be illegal to actually perform on the street, in a mall, in a park, or in an open commercial center (like a large complex or area with a ton of...

Quick question, do you guys think I ca use a paper cutter to cut my own Svengali Deck? Also, would it damage the paper cutter? Because my library might have one open to the public...

:D Dat plug doh @raaaa I actually do highly recommend getting Michael's Invisible Purse trick from the Market. One of the best sponge ball application's I've seen in a long long time. And such a great performance. A bad performance is a horrible thing for the spectators. But where as in some...

Fair enough - though he isn't the one who invented it. Both Passes have been around for ages.

I'm sure there are DVD's and books on the subject, but sponge ball magic doesn't have much to do outside of vanishing, reappearing, or transpositioning. It is truly one of those things that you can build your performance around yourself. I would say just play around with them, see what you can...

Great news! Also, as for the Classic and Herrmann passes, if you don't want to download a video, I'm sure you can find the Classic pass in most books, and Herrmann in a few more. There are even YouTube videos that are actually good tutorials, with presentation tips, uses, variations, history...

Hey James! First off, how's your wife? I hope she's feeling better! Next, I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean. Do you want to move the card to the top after executing the straddle pass? Best move I can think of is the Herrmann Pass - a super easy pass to do. However, if you mean getting...

1 thing I would say is that before you start learning too many different colour changes, see what you can do with the one's you know. For example, the Erdnase Change looks pretty awkward at times. It is absolutely disgusting if you do it without working on it - it looks like you are trying to...

To be fair though.... I actually got nothin. liek if u cri every tiem I don't know if it'll help too much, but there are these little "hand perfume" things (I think they are called "Eau de Toilet" in French, but that may be something else). You may see a lot of people actually carrying them...

Seriously though. I legitimately got fed up with running out of decks to hand to people to play with, so I got a ton of the cheap dollar store decks. They actually handle pretty well... for a plastic coated deck.

Yeah. For the effects I have in mind, it doesn't matter too much. Also, You can print on cards without them catching on fire? I heard someone say they were gonna print on some cards, but I googled it and everyone was like "AHH OMG IT'S ON FIRE. IT RUINED MY PRINTER!!!1!!" So I never tried it xD

I knew there was some type of material specified, couldn't remember what it was! I can probably get a ton of Nail Polish remover from my sister. Thanks!

What is the best way to construct a blank card? I know you can use rubbing alcohol, but does it matter what percent, or how much I use? Also, can the spectators feel the difference? I doubt it, but just to be safe, I might as well ask.

Before you try any products, its probably a good idea to practice a regular deck switch with no gimmicks just to get a feel for when you would actually perform one. You may also want to experiment with partial deck switches.

Another thing you can do: Some Svengali decks are a bit rough to use if you catch my drift. You can do things like classic force with them, and a ton more. Also, impossible location effects are super easy. Just load a force card anywhere, and then just force it using the Sven. You can even do...

So is it a different handling?

Cool! Let me know how it goes!

Exactly. The moment it ruins the game is when it stops being fun. There are some games which I wont cheat at because its not fun - like spades. By the way, I was able to work on perfecting cops, palms, and tabled switches a ton more without realizing it, so there is actually a practice factor...

Thanks! I love making stuff out of stuff I have lying around! I'll look into the experiment!

So.. not that anyone has replied yet or anything (probably because most of you are asleep), but I just wasted my entire night creating this as opposed to sleeping. Deal Fixer Contraption 2.0! (Let me know if you can't see the pictures. The server was being weird.)...
