    False Cuts

    When you say "looks nice" Are you looking for simple and deceptive, 'fool a spectator' type , or a flourishy multi-packet display type, to 'confuse the spectator into thinking you cut the deck' type?

    A Somewhat Good and Somewhat bad Story

    Dylan, nice work stepping up and being responsible enough to offer the money back. That takes guts, and a degree of professionalism not a lot of young people have. Your dad was right about being honest. Also be confident in what you do. Thanks for sharing! Justin

    Is this normal...

    I would really try to see where they are coming from. It's hard, but you need to try. Do they want you to be more productive at home? Are your grades suffering? Are you constantly asking for magic or money for magic/cards? Can you have a conversation that doesn't involve magic? I wouldn't...

    Sudden Deck II by David Regal: Reviewed

    definitely not surrounded, The angles are decent, (Perhaps a bit more than a 90 degree window (120?). I've never thought about using it in a walkaround setting. I should try that. Because of the angles, I would not call it 100% practical. However, it has been a fantastic purchase. The only...

    Anything to share?

    Humility. If you approach your magic with a degree of humility, you will get better. Admit that you have a lot to learn and that your performance might need improvement. And be humble enough to take criticism regardless of it's delivery. Even poorly delivered criticism is founded on something...

    Thought I got one of the phones...

    Lol that's really funny. I also have a confession. I had a dream a few nights ago that I got a phone and some gift cads to various stores. lol That's sad.

    Boycotting 2009 F.I.S.M

    Don't worry, just because you read it on the internet, that doesn't mean it's true. As far as the boycotting goes, If I'm not planning to go anyway, is that boycotting already, or do I need a sticker?

    Frozen

    I have it, and I like it, but it is so cold here now that people just think I put the quarter outside for a while. I have to wait until it gets warmer. ;)

    Well said.

    Show us your business card!

    Ah looking again, I would agree. It looks like Mann. Other than that, they are pretty good simple cards. Make sure the resolution is high (300 dpi for the printers I used). As far as the Latin thing goes, try to be original. The Cerca Trova thing is cool to us because of the context in which...

    Healed and Sealed - Live

    I love that effect. It's been a while since I've been in a situation to be able to do it, but I just love it. Thanks for the vid. I do agree about taking more time with it, it has lots of potential. Nice work! j

    Working magicians and pressure.

    I can see myself building it into a bigger routine, or using it in certain walkaround situations. The only real downside is having to carry a bunch of balloons. However, the venues I'm in it wouldn't be a big deal. I don't know how it will play for a larger group. I will probably try it out...

    Street Magic - University

    Meh, When I was at University I would meet a lot of new people every day (my goal was to introduce myself to two new people every day - easier than it sounds) Then i would sit with new friends at a table in a common area and bring out the cards. When asked, why I have cards, I said I was a...

    Pressure

    I'm very glad I picked it up. I'd even love to add it into my show if I can create a routine around it. j

    What is Theory11?

    I'll just throw my 2 cents in too: In regards to pressure, I was in a similar place as you. I knew phase 1 if you will, but not phase 2. I paid $20 for that piece of information (which you so kindly give away). Think about it. If the showed it in the demo, wouldn't it have given it away? That...

    Ostrich Syndrome In Magic

    Well, to start, (just because someone has to say it) the ostrich thing is a myth. The don't actually do that at all. ;) As far as what you are saying, I believe that it is a matter of practicing in front of a mirror and a friend. As far as the snap change goes (which I use all the time), it...
