Thanks for that. Part 2 is up: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?29674-How-to-Meet-a-Stranger-Part-2&p=331125#post331125

I agree with what has already been posted. what I would add is that you should choose the effect to help focus your study. for instance a nail writer is great for numbers or short words, where as if you want to do a drawing duplication effect, then a nail writer is not ideal. So choosing a...

I hate math tricks too. Unless it is disguised well. But most people will wonder how you did that, and they may be surprised, however, If you are working with numbers and putting your own control in there (by adding numbers), then people will assume you used math, even though they won't know...

I updated and added the post (with some minor edits). Enjoy.

I've never done it, but you would need a stuffed animal, a large spring with just the right 'springiness', and some sewing skills. You will need to reshape the puppet skin to fit the spring. Realistically though unless you know someone who is a fantastic sewer, it probably will look like a...

That's brilliant. I love it. It makes me remember my university days. I would sit in a lecture hall, listening to the lecture and I would make my pen stand on end on the table, and then act like I was concentrating really hard on it, and eventually it would lift off the table a bit and float...

I did a bit of magic for a couple (he was deaf and she was a professional interpreter). It was very interesting. (misdirection was very easy because they have to look away to see the interpreter) Depending on your scenario, I would hire a professional interpreter for the event and add that cost...

Hi again. Have you ever met someone and the interaction was awkward? Well hopefully this can help. Enjoy! http://forums.theory11.com/entry.php?7-How-to-Meet-a-Stranger-Part-1-Earn-the-Right (added below for those who are not allowed access to the blogs area) Part 2 thread...

Do me a favor and don't make one. You could hurt someone if you do it wrong, and there are artists in the industry who do an amazing job crafting stuff like this. However the affordable one that comes to mind is the Chair Suspension. Someone with more experience can probably best direct...

Check out the Vanishing Rabbit, it's a local magic shop that will have all the info you seek. Check their website too.

Hey all, I don't know if everyone has access to view the blog portion of the site, but if you do, I have a series of blogs coming about How to Meet a Stranger. I will post an earlier one here (Good or Great). Let me know if you can view the blog link...

Welcome! Enjoy your time here. You will find that the T11 crew are some of the most professional in the business. jm

I just picked up Fuse. Very cool effect, and super easy to do. You could be creative with that.

I agree that the magician needs to do a good job presenting whatever he is doing. But one still needs to do magic that is good. The first chapter of Strong Magic talks about this. He says it's not just about a good personality, its about using strong magic as well. I believe the OP is asking...

If you set it up, interlace will be more practical to perform. But there is setup involved. But I have to say I love it. (Video in signature)

Even though you like to collect decks, here's my opinions on the following decks. eco - Pretty standard deck, quite smooth finish, neat look. (okay) tragic loyalty - horrible. Smell like paint thinner. clump. (pass) bicycle clear - junk. Cool for a few seconds, until you realize that they are...

Is this guy real or a bot of some sort? If your real, then welcome! ;)

Out of curiosity what is the set for? It all goes nicely together but what it is for will help determine the length of you set. For example, for table hopping or restaurant work you could divide that into two sets. Set 1: A one coin routine (for example), then bring out a deck of cards and do...
