    Mercury Performance

    I think you should work on your shapeshifter change. It wasn't really good, which made you flash. Yeah, the student thing was kind of random too.

    How often do you open a new deck?

    Whenever there is a new custom deck sold, I would buy 1 deck and open it to test the cards. However, I realized that I had too many decks unused, and I stopped buying custom made cards. Each deck of cards last quite a long time as I always switch the decks I use.

    Small hands

    Hi everyone. I own both the System and the Trilogy and I find it difficult to do some flourishes with small hands. So far, I have only learnt Genesis,The Werm and the Carnahan Fan. Can someone more experienced in flourishing tell me which flourishes are easier to do with small hands? Thanks alot.

    Centurions or Guardians?

    I only own a pack of guardians. So I can't compare which has better quality and which last longer. In my opinion, both decks has the same feel, but guardians look better. Here are some reviews which I found. Hope it helps. Guardians http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=6289...

    How To look after your cards

    Maybe you can put your decks in your luggage and surround it with your clothings. The clothings will cushion your cards.

    You should get whichever works for you best. Personally, I feel that Tally's are better for flourishing.

    Ellusionist Typos

    I think its a typo. They're supposed to teach you how to pull a card out of thin air not a coin. Yeah I agree that the second one is a bit misleading. They should have phrased it in a way such that consumers can understand it. However, I don't think they are lying. The first one is just a...

    Which of W:H's Tricks are most satisfying?

    I would rank stigmata 1st, control 2nd and distortion 3rd.

    Distortion vs Panic

    Derren Brown is...

    Oh no...I didn't know that. I had so much respect for him after watching his videos. And some of that respect went down the drain after I read this.

    Why Magic?

    Hmm, I was always fascinated by magic when magicians perform during tv shows.After learning magic, I like to perform for people and entertain them. When the people who I perform to are at loss for words, I have a sense of satisfaction that I did my job as a magician well.

    Making a living doing magic

    Yeah you should try to get a degree at least. If magic fails for you, you still can get a good job. If there's an economic downturn and you get sacked, you still can rely on doing magic to earn a living. If both of these doesn't happen, well, you will earn double the amount you usually would.
