    Started Busking/Street Performing!

    I think you guys are on to something good here. With the current line up of effects you are doing, you probably won't pull in much money on a regular basis, but you are going to gain priceless amounts of experience and wisdom if you keep it up. Just remember to go into it all with an open...

    True Up the ladder

    Well, for just a gambling demo, I would say the Up the ladder cut would be ok. However, if you are really going for a RRSRC sequence, for the poker game, then using the up the ladder could go badly. Usually, the strip part of the sequence, the half you are stripping from doesn't come in...

    Cyril Takayama - Card Through Window

    Alright, a lot of you need to understand something and understand it quickly. I am not saying all TV magicians, but definitely in Cyril's case, he is an outstanding magician and technician. However, in order to make the big bucks with magic, you have to sacrifice a little bit of the...

    Foreign Magician

    You should have responded "All the great Magicians are local somewhere, you are just lucky enough to be from the same town as the great magician standing before you today. So, when would you like me to come do your show?"

    Shinobi Control fans!

    I can see how you might think that, and it is true that laymen could easily figure out how the control is done when you do it slowly, but only if you let on that something is fishing. I mentioned in a different post that the shinobi control falls into a category with other sleights like the...

    Trilogy + andthensome - On The Street?

    My GF has a video of me doing C2Mouth, a longer version of subway, and Collectors, but I need to get it from her camera. I will upload it later, but I need to subtitle it first =/ It is in Japanese =/

    Street show help

    You will definitely want to throw in a nice short routine with a stripper deck. I would say 99% of the employees working for a magic shop rely on pulling in a crowd with a quick stripper deck routine. They can be performed in front of larger crowds, can go quickly, and be sold quite easily.

    What does your deck say about you?

    I am not a frequent poster, but I tend to like what Prae has to say. He is quite direct, and in my honest opinion, blunt and to the point is quite necessary on these forums. Anyway, back on topic. Although I like the content of the original post, it might be a tad bit over thought. Let...

    Levitation - Real or Not?

    I thought this was funny. Does anyone else get the subtle nuance of "I am equal to Banachek and the Pendragons" ? And another thing Mr. Cedric. You over use the ellipsis more than any human being I have ever seen. Not to mention you over use the ellipsis incorrectly. A proper ellipsis has...

    DL Turnover

    Simple fix. Instead of dropping the DL into an injog position, drop it into an outjog position, so that you can use your index finger to push it flush with the deck while slightly pulling down (so that the inward end pops up from off the deck). From here you can obtain a natural pinky break...

    Simple

    The yellow cards make me cry... Small flashes on the load in the first part. There is a great subtlety you can use when you place the "aces" down on to the mat in the four locations. You can find it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYLOA-GlN2M

    Clap Trap Help

    It is a knack and will take some time to get down. 1: depends on the conditions of your cards I find and the weight. 2: depends on how big your "preparation" is hehe (nothing exposed here) 3: distance of hands from the deck and the speed of the clap all have an affect on the flip. just...

    What exactly makes someone a magician?

    What is the point of trying to over analyze this? All you are tying to do in this thread is get people to argue semantics. Some of the things you are saying Nikki are extremely narrow minded in thinking. You said that an Entertainer can babysit your mind for a bit, but a magician can...
