    A $1000 Dollar Routine

    lol It definitely peaks my interest, but I cant get over that there are other effects that are very good that present a similar experience (simply as far as effect goes), as many other tricks on the market that are much more affordable. Granted you name 20+ spectators cards and the tossed...

    Thumb Tip Question

    There is also a thumb tip that has a wick to transfer flames... perhaps the flint wheel tip with the wick tip... Or better yet, Get Jim Paces inviso torch! Wicked.

    A Morbid Question

    not sure, but I bet Ricky Jay might have something on that in some of his writings. j

    Are trade shows worth it?

    Ya, that's the thing. I'm promoting myself, not someones product. I have the right material, but are enough people coming to Bridal Fantasy, going to book me for their weddings?

    Are trade shows worth it?

    Hey all, I know most of you won't have any experience with this, but perhaps the T11 artists and other professionals will know: Are trade show's worth it? I was offered a booth at an upcoming trade show (a wedding expo), and it's quite pricey to buy a booth. Does something like that...

    Best card prediction out there?

    I appreciate that. So having a mentalist show, do you do a card prediction? I assume you could only really do one (more than one would be too repetitive), so which one do you do? I do my perfect prediction. The one Dee suggested looks good, but lack a longer routine (making it very good for...

    NewScientist :: What's luck got to do with it?

    But when you are implementing the strategy, a fairly short losing streak can get you to the table limit quick. (like his example given)

    NewScientist :: What's luck got to do with it?

    Though this works. Don't most casino's have a table limit? (not sure, I don't frequent casino's) This would squish any chance of winning big. j

    Best card prediction out there?

    Well, I think that my 3 favorites on the market would have to be: - Derren Brown's effect (don't recall the name) from The Devil's Picturebook I believe. Basically a single card placed on the table. The performer has them invisibly select a card from a deck of imaginary cards. The selection...

    Flip Video

    I've found that Youtubedownloader works great and it's free.

    Wedding Reception Performance

    Please do me a favor. If you do do any ring magic (which is a great idea), DONT use the bride or groom's ring. They don't want to take their rings off or have the chance someone is going to drop them etc. There are lots of other people with rings there. :)

    Touching / Grabbing During Effect

    I noticed reactions similar to this especially when performing for people of other cultures (old and young). I do a fair amount of free performances for an inner city ministry here, and I also find more of these reactions in lower socio economic groups. People in other cultures have very...

    darn computer lost the post, and my repost was late! :(

    Saturday Night Contest - APOLLO ROBBINS : Roundtable

    Hey Apollo, I know my first watch steal sent adrenaline through my veins. So much so that I almost forgot to give it back! Do you remember what happened when you did you first watch steal or pickpocket? You look very calm when 'working', is there a 'move' you execute that still gives you a...

    Lee Asher's 605 Playing Cards

    I assume that is simple because of preference. For professional gigs, I will continue to use bicycles (aside from my pre-show work I've been using Centurions), due to their familiar nature. But for using at home, Lee's deck has been really good. I haven't even fully broken them in yet. Not to...

    Lee Asher's 605 Playing Cards

    Perhaps you are looking at more expensive shipping options? I'm in Canada and T11's cost for shipping a manipulation deck for instance ($12.95) would be $7.95. Granted T11 is still higher cost, but not $23 higher.

    If you've ever invented a trick...

    Absolutely Impossible Card Prediction. Impossible scenario. Impossible results. One effect I've created is a card prediction, where there is a card from a different deck is in a sealed envelope and is given to a spectator to guard. -Another spectator removes the deck from the box, shuffles...

    The Venus Trap by Chris "Orbit" Brown

    Jim Pace teaches this move in his Princess Card Trick. Granted the finger positions may differ slightly, and Jim does it with many cards instead of one.

    Chris Brown "Venus Trap"

    Hmm, Jim Pace came up with an effect called the Princess Card Trick. It uses the same move but to shift four cards.
