TBH, I have bricks of random custom decks from T11 and DnD etc... brown wynns, what have you, but in the last 2 months, the only deck that I have opened or touched is a red or blue back bike. I perform around 4 times a week and I only perform with bikes as I tend to produce same colored back...

"backbone of he library" is the key phrase here. I am sure Mr. England can list hundreds of other books that he would be able to write very positive reviews for, but only a handful or books can reach that special level each person has within them. This is where Mr. England's long experience in...

I get the feeling that you want to skip a lot of steps in your magic journey. It is like a complete amateur stepping onto a basketball court wanting to learn advanced plays, w/o learning how to properly dribble and pass first. Expert at the card table has sleights that need to be polished...

So, you shoot a video, post it, and then ask for opinions and critiques. You then get critiques, and your most commonly used retort to those critiques is in the escape of, "it was a one and done shoot," and "of course I can do better, but it was a one take deal," bla bla bla. You do realize...

I completely disagree. The method should be the most logical and the cleanest of the various options you have to choose from. It is not only our job to make the impossible look possible, but to do it in a matter that looks as simple and as clean as possible. For example, read these two...

Welcome back to Magic =) Quick thought before my actual recommendations. Indulge me if you would please. As a teacher of English in Japan, I very commonly come across people "wanting to start studying English," and EVERYONE asks me, "how should I start?" Beginning something is very...

To be honest, I don't see why you did the four ace control the way you did it. Since it is not a public video, I am going to give you some real critiques here. Try and learn an actual four ace control. You can use a push through and jog riffle shuffle to control all four aces back to the top...

I'm not Mr. Chang. Hehe. His name on T11 is Liquisn. I am his buddy from College =).

It looks like you got your wordpress theme from something similar to http://graphpaperpress.com/, but unfortunately, the content that you have on the site doesn't really warrant the use of that theme. I actually have one of the Graphpaperpress themes installed my site, but my site is not public...

I think your Tivo's were the most efficiently performed =). You have the workings of a fine technician. To be honest though, I wish you would have chosen work from someone like Ed Marlo, Larry Jennings, Harry Lorayne, etc... for your 24 hour project, as the material is less 'flourishy' and...

I don't know what made you think this, but... completely wrong imho. Crazy man's handcuffs is an amazing walk-around/ table hopping routine. It carries light, requires no resets, and it has many stages that you can add from or cut off depending on the table's reaction. It can be a small...

This is your original post... then later you say "you guys are missing the point. its says sleight, so this was just a way I did it. dont look at it as a trick just see the sleight when the card pop out from the middle of the deck. But you can use it as a reveale, or if you need to get the...

Agreed with above. You really need to know your rates before you agree. Hopefully you told them, "I will call to confirm my rate within the next two days" etc... As it is a corporate event, they will most likely be willing to pay as much as you would like, provided your sales pitch of...

How long would you be willing to wait for this? I am heading over to Osaka (I live in Tokyo) to visit the shop at the end of the month. I could also buy it from the website and have it shipped to my place, and then to yours (I have paypal and all), however, with the exchange rate as it is...

Here is some wisdom that I have gained over the years in my pursuit of trying to take my magic to a more professional level. I remember back to University and shortly thereafter when I thought, "hey I am pretty good at magic, I should do restaurant work or busk for money." It all seemed...

Actually, TBH, it kind of sounds like material IS the problem. Card tricks don't really sell that well in a busking situation. For one: Card tricks are overly done and usually the first thing people think of when "close-up magic" is uttered. Everyone has seen card tricks, and even though...

Translation : "I am better than you. HAHAHA. YOU suck. Watch my amazingly awesomer one handed DL which is God Flawless, yes, God Flawless." Like... seriously? To the OP- We have good days and bad days in magic. You had a bad day. Take what you can from it, learn from the mistakes, and...

To the OP, a lot of your responses are based off of an interpretation of simple semantics. And, seeing as you are not a native speaker of English, this is quite a risky thing to be doing. Look at it this way. Let's take Billiards/Pool for example. I would agree that if a 9-ball player went...

To the OP... you need to learn the difference between an ideal perfect world, a delusion, and reality. What you are speaking of, doesn't even really fall into "an idea perfect world," and it is very far from reality. Your reply to the people who say they hate to mix xcm with close-up card...

For card magic, not so important to be able to do sleights with both hands. For coin magic, you will be better for it if you learn with both hands. You can bet that magicians like David Roth, Ponta the Smith, Eric Jones, can classic palm, finer palm, retention vanish, shuttle pass, clink pass...
