The advocate is one of the things I was sooo pumped about, but never used. I could just never get it down and it seemed to awkward. Also a few DVDs I bought when I was just starting out, but haven't looked at since.

An effect like "Joker's Wild" where the color changes are justified works well. The Avenue by Dorian Rhodell teaches a cardini-like change that he uses in several of the effects taught on there. Hope that helps!

Looks very cool, but doesn't really seem to fit me. I'm sure others will love this though. Jacob

Great post Rick, thanks for sharing! I've been watching Benji's videos as well and can't wait to put some things learned into effect tomorrow. As for your CMH situation, I had a girl who had toe thumbs, and couldn't bend them, so I just used her index fingers instead and had her make "guns"...

http://www.magicgeek.com/kid-show-magic-39.html Go nuts :) Most kid stuff is pretty easy to learn (not to do...to learn) since kids will call you out the moment they see something. Magic Coloring book is awesome, I have two and let the kid to the magic with a magic marker/eraser. Thumb tip...

Hey there! Welcome to the forums! As for your problem, try pushing off a small block of cards instead of just one. The invisible deck is designed that more frequently thought of cards are located towards the middle, at least it works out for me like that more often than not. Just practice...

That's basically it, it just takes practice and repetition of what she needs to work on. Good luck!

Understood, but with the edits, it seems more of a camera trick than an actual effect, make sense? I've seen your other videos so I doubt you would fake anything, but the finale wasn't as strong as it could've been

It was good, but all the cuts in between interrupted the flow of the effect, you know?

True, I'll just keep in the back of my mind. I've just tried to create before and hit a massive block. I get good ideas, just nooo way to execute them, you know?

If you are really bummed about the situation, then you need to play it better. I perform for different people every weekend at the restaurant where I work, so I can't remember everyone, but I'm known as "the balloon guy" or the "magic guy." Which is fine, because that way they know who I am, and...

Wow. Really?

Too bad I suck at creating lol

Alright sweet. Looks like I need to head to SM Productions more often.

Veeeery nice. I thought you were misleading us with the "no dupes" towards the end haha, but you proved me wrong. I like it a lot, great work!

Can you do this on a business card? Or just playing cards? Is the gimmick style specific? Like can you only do it with bicycle, or can you do it on tally's and the like?

Where does one buy shells? I'm new to coin magic and I'm looking where to get some. I don't have magic stores near me, so any online sources would be great! Do shells come in all sizes? Like pennies? Or are they just like quarters, and various half dollar styles?

Thank you so much! I've been working on trying to get other restaurant gigs, and this will really help. Jacob

It all sounds awesome, but a preview would give us a better idea. Yes you can use descriptive words and what not to pump up an effect, but a video will show us just exactly what we are getting. Jacob

Props to being imaginative and creating some of your own things. That being said, I agree with the others where the first two moves are just not practical in any way. Lots of noise, fast suspicious movement, and really unnatural. Keep up the creating the though! It might take 1000 tries, but a...
