Does anyone know if this will be new stuff, or a combination of the material that is already on the dvd's & book?

I would love to be pointed in the right direction for adding an arm through glass type effect like this. I found a couple of references at the cafe about this, but I would love to know your insights and references. Shoot me a pm. Thanks

Formality can be really important in something like this. If there is some sort of structure/process, then it keeps both parties on track and focused. It would be different if each party met in person regularly, then the formality becomes less important.

I like the idea, but I agree that there would me much to work out. That said, It's a new concept that I think would be a neat thing to try out.

It's up now. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f3fEgRatR8

How about Houchin's Stigmata? Some 'gimmicked' ones would be Titanas finger, pyro perception, ashes to arm. And there is always Meir Yedid's FINGER FANTASIES DVD

It sounds like a simple and straight forward effect (that is good). What will make it shine, is a good presentation and streamlining the sleights. There needs to be motivation for every move. From your description, be careful to not 'over prove' the ace of spades. The audience is not clueless...

I got a deck last year. Lee is the best to deal with. - a top notch guy.

I'm going for classy, sophisticated, and personable.

Isn't that essentially his question? lol I would go with metal bending/pk too.

I love that at one point he takes his cover hand away and it is still amazing.

Huh, just noticed that mine didn't load properly on youtube... I will have to put it up again.

Well, I have to first off say, great work on the routine. As you know, I'm also a Baptist pastor. I would imagine if a performer did a routine like that for my group and they were not expecting it, some might definitely be weirded out, but to be honest a lot wouldn't want to respond because...

In my situation, I would absolutely alter my performance. I do a lot of improv aside from magic, so the show would be fine. If it was a crowd I know very little about, I would use very general patter. But I don't think I'd be too phased. I was recently in a situation where I thought I was to...

Not familiar with this. What is the effect? Is it in AOA?

I always thought that the thumb count or other ways were just as good but way easier, but after seeing how deceptive Jason England was with the pinky count, it is now on my practice list. I want it to be invisible.

Of course your first impression is very important, but your rapport with people does not end after the first ten seconds. You continue to build that relationship as the show goes on -right up until the words you leave with. So if you want to practice your closer, you have a very different...

Hey all, here's my video. Sorry it's long... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EsmUa77Uk4

Well said. This is something that I am learning a bit more. I used to totally subscribe to the Eugene Burger theory that the easier the method the more you can focus on the presentation. This is not always true tho.

It's simple but, I keep my cards out as often as I can. I've booked shows because of it. Even today someone in the mall asked if I was a magician because of my cards. Great topic.
