    Thanx again John. I contacted E's customer service, but only via text, so it is going really slow. I will try to call them tomorrow. But, here is the problem that is occurring with other companies, like W:H and the rest. You can only pay them via PayPal, but, unfortunately, PayPal also doesn't...

    USA Blockout

    Thank you John. But, see, I have this other problem now. I will tell it because it can happen to someone else. When I ordered TA, when I clicked "complete order", that is the last step. The next step is a E-Mail with a confirmation and order details. But, this is what happened: after I clicked...

    Hey Randy First of all, I'm 22 years old, I will be 23 in 3 months, so I'm no kid and no teenager either. But i can see how you would assume that, because most of the forum members are teenagers. And I'm 6.6" (2 meters) tall, basketball/fitness coach, so I'm not small either ;) Second of...

    It is not a problem in the company itself, because non of the companies have their own plains in which they ship packages. They all go trough USA postal service (USPS). And USPS don't ship to my country at this point, so they have to send all orders back. Example: I buy TA from MJM Magic, they...

    Hmmmmmm.... How about "But I still have picture of her in my back/inside pocket" and that solves a problem. Maybe it is not as hard hitting as the wallet, but it will hit hard. Yeah, I didn't really talk to him about that. I don't know much about his performing history. But he is very good...

    They are in USA, and I need one in Europe, because UPS and USPS don't ship to my country at this moment.

    Impromptu 5 Speed

    I agree, I got away with it every time. Except with my brother. But like praetoritevong has said, "you can be satisfied with pleasing 90% of your audience, but I want 100%". Something along those lines, and for a different subject, but it can be applied here. Well, it is 2:24am here, so if I...

    Presentation / Story Teller

    Well, it went like this. It was regular night at the Magic Club, and I decided to do that trick. I was using the Paul's patter, and about half way through, the guy told me "Get to the point. People don't like story telling, they love straight to the point tricks." And that kinda ruined the whole...

    Impromptu 5 Speed

    Sure, I would love that... I didn't understand, do you give all 3 cards for inspection, take them back, put it on the deck and then drop them on the table? Because that is the one way to do it, and that is the way that most card tricks are done, but that doesn't really appeal to me. It will go...

    Impromptu 5 Speed

    Great vid. While I was reading trough this thread, that is exactly what I had in mind. Looks even better than in my head ;) And it was me who gave it the name, but don't bother, I'm just glad you liked the name ;) @Menalizing: I'm having a hard time picturing your way of showing three cards...

    Presentation / Story Teller

    Lovely. That is the story that everyone can relate to. Specially if you present it as a "psycho girlfriend", because everyone has had one. But can you tell us a little secret? What is your ending to this ACR? I can't think of how "pop out" move will fit. You can't say "I than folded/bended my...

    USA Blockout

    Hey guys I just found out that UPS, USPS, and other shipping company's in USA don't ship to my country at this time. I really don't know the reason, but that is just how it is at the moment. So I tried to order TA trough Ellusionist, but they told me they got a lot of stuff back because of...

    Anybody else wants to join? I think this thread should stay alive (not because i started it, lol), but because everyone can improve their presentation, and we can help each other... It is hard to believe that everyone except me, has a perfect routine and a presentation of it...

    Critique Needed Please

    I'm not trying to be an a$$, I'm really not. But that trick is great, and you presented it like a mentalism trick, which i support. But, you showed us what card we need to remember. When you counted 5 card's of the deck, you told us to remember 8 of Hearts. So all that psychological force...

    Yeah, not bad idea at all ;) But it is not 5 speed than, it is 3 speed ;)

    Critique Needed Please

    I'm sorry, but i didn't like the pater for the first trick. The first thing I taught was "Why the hell would pentagram guard one dollar bill?" it doesn't make any sense. You can draw something else, like a bank of federal reserves lol... But the effect was great ;)

    Presentation / Story Teller

    That is the way that I do it... Maybe I didn't explain it very well... My bad... Hahahaha, lol. That is brilliant. I just imagined myself as a spectator, and that someone else is doing that to me... Haha, it's just mind blowing. I guess the reactions would go in this order: *jaw dropped for...

    "Street" Magic

    Yeah, I understand now... I mean, I understand that in a library I can star the conversation about some book, in a hobby store about D&D, in armor shop about grenade launcher... But when you see a group of people in the bar or coffee place, what is your opening line? I have a charisma and...
