    In a bit of a pickle

    Personally, I'd just spend the $40 and get new ones, and chalk it up to the cost of business. Your address on the cards is not the end of the world, but not the safest decision either.

    Website creator?

    I tried wix.com, before learning that flash is generally bad (though it has some interesting solutions as a bit of a hybrid). Squarespace.com is recommended as well.

    Saturday Night Contest - New Year's Resolutions

    This week, I'd like to create a new trick using a double backer. I was playing with D1IE, and pondering what to do with the double. This year, I want to double the amount of business. I'm working on some new promotional material.

    Gospel Magic

    I agree that gospel magic is a bit cheesy. I feel it is better to use magic to create a platform for yourself to present, with effects that can support your topic. This is the same with any speaking that you may do weather in a school bullying show, or a corporate situation, where you are hired...

    Elegance, sophistication and finesse

    Anton Lopez comes to mind after his performances on the Essential Magic Conference. Not practical, but very magical.

    Magical > technical?

    Performance aside, the less technical visually, the better. Think about a color change: 1. You smear your hand over it, and it changes (erdnase) 2. You hold the card at your fingertips and shake it and it changes 3. You hold the card at your fingertips and flick it and it changes...

    How I fell in love with organic magic

    Very true. Hopefully gimmicks can eliminate the possibile explanation of sleight of hand to create a miracle.

    Book to add stuff OTHER than cards to my repertoire?

    Gregory Wilson's on the spot is outstanding.

    How I fell in love with organic magic

    That's awesome Jacob. For me, I strived for organic magic, so I wanted all impromptu effects (Gregory Wilson's on the spot is fantastic), and for me it was the thumb tip that changed my mind. It allowed me to do things that were beyond sleight of hand and appeared impromptu. So now my arsenal is...

    Magic Castle Audition

    Just some of my thoughts that you can take it you like them : -I would suggest that when you make the prediction, that you find it, or have it somewhere already (like in the card box, an envelope, a separate pocket etc.). This will add intrigue and emphasis to it. Where you get from should be...

    A good Self-Levitation

    I like Wild Levitation. Once you set up, it's easy to do, you are always ready, it's comfortable, you go about 6-12 inches depending on your audience, and it's affordable. It's kryptonite is that you need a jacket to cover form your ankles to your waist. Though it still looks amazing. Not...

    I had a read through, and there is some nice stuff in there. One or two might be adaptable for a larger audience. To everyone else, I'd still love some feedback on this effect: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?30390-Best-Wedding-Effect-Ever&p=338185#post338185

    Your Thoughts On Using Someone Else's Trick

    If you see it on youtube, it's published. There is not much original material on youtube. Just because you don't know if or where it's published, it doesn't change anything. Same rules of ethics and etiquette apply. If the person has put something on youtube that is original, it is either not...

    Bad Performance But Nice Effect

    Joe has a good point. A spectator probably wouldn't be totally floored. Try it out and see what reactions you get. My guess is "Neat. Good job. " With joes suggestion, it makes the spectator the one getting it right. You will get a much stronger reaction from that. I would also recommend...
