Grats on getting the publicity. I'd probably choose something almost self-working, something fast and flashy, something simple bug big. I'd probably avoid card, but that is just me and where I live. I do however think this really kills your idea about asking your girlfriend to prom with...

It is not an easy book. TBH, it is not a very practical book either. The effects, if done with the method outlined in the book, are not suitable for walk around, street magic, standing situations, as they are quite angle sensitive, and sometimes heavily dependent on the use of a table (there...

You kind of have a good point here, but I believe it could have been worded a bit better. I would not say, "argue everything." Everyone needs a mentor and anyone starting out in something new will not understand everything being told to them, but a little bit of trust and faith in one's...

That completely depends on the magician. I would agree that some magicians' choice of effects and the techniques used in those effects are based off of self-indulgence, but more so for the hobbyist than for the working professional. Many working professionals perform the tricks that are not...

I collect money from magic shows that I do. After I read "Rich Dad Poor Dad", I figured this would be the way to go rather than only spending money to do magic =).

Re-read the post. I wasn't asking them / requesting them to do anything, thus did not rudely ask for anything. I was pointing out that by simply adding an extra colored version of one of their decks, the likelihood of seeing more and more of the T11 decks in actual performances would increase...

This is basically what happened, in a very blunt (albeit hardcore analogy). You asked for advice on "how to do something," but in this case, the majority of the responses were against the "how to" idea in the first place. This might not be what you wanted, but since over half of the responses...

I find that it would be in Theory 11's best interest to produce various color versions of their custom decks. As a professional performer, one thing that I want in my show is consistency. I do not want to be showing three or four different backed decks to my audience throughout a single table...

Also, I find with he original handling of blizzard, and the discussed gutsy move, it works best when you do the gutsy move slowly!!

I usually don't agree with Steer... well, that's a lie, I usually do, but we always butt heads anyway. But in this case, he is spot on. Sometimes outspoken to the point of wanting to fly home just to punh him in the face. But at the end of the day, he knows what he is talking about and his...

Another great post and reason on why this area of card handling requires years of practice. Not only do you you need the knowledge of various ways to recover, but you need the the ability to do them on the fly, w/o breaking rhythm, and w/o hesitation.

World Aikido headquarters is a 5 min walk from my house! I'll be right back with the answer!

To Mr. Browning. My apologies for my post. I reacted in a manner that was more heated than it was composed, and hasty to the point in which I did not award you the benefit of the doubt. I reacted to my initial interpretation of the sound of the post, and what I got upon first reading was a...

Sorry, didn't like it. The trick isn't really designed to be drawn out that long. When Tony goes off and names a few of the double backed cards, he does it very swiftly making good use of the "showing of the backs" subtlety, but he doesn't draw it out too long, thus keeping it as natural as...

Wooot! My friend, Hiroki Hara, is one of the stars of 'Make Believe'! One of the coolest kids to hang out with. Congrats on the first ever Japanese Champion!

I see where you are coming from, but to be honest, you don't "HAVE" to learn kids shows. If you are going to work in a restaurant, knowing how to handle a family table including some children, will be important. However, the necessity to learn an entire kids show only comes if you agree to do...

Honestly, I cannot take any of this seriously. I can barely read your posts. Run on sentences destroyed my brain.

Don't mean to sound rude here, but, if you are asking these kinds of questions, you are not ready to work in a restaurant. There are many sources that you should read before taking this step. This includes sources on how to build sets, what kind of material to put in your sets, what to wear...

To be honest, it seems like you still need work on just your blind riffle shuffling, not the push through. You tend to bend the cards way too much when you riffle shuffle, hence the massive bend in your cards. You could even be accused of peeking if shuffling like that in some games. In...

Didn't this make anyone else laugh? This is like, a Jr HS kid who is in the art club asking someone, "hey, I want to create a nice piece for the exhibition at the end of the month, what kind of picture should I create?" and then someone replies, "hmm, you should try to do something like this...
