First of all, what table limit were you at? Any good card counter would not have a problem with a fast dealer, and that being said, would not be at a low limit table to start with. The reason for the fast dealing is simple. The faster you deal, the more hands per shift you get to deal...

You are right, and I apologize for the attitude if it seemed condescending. However, let me just mention this. I see and understand what you are trying to do with your website. I understand, because I have made the same mistakes in the past. To put it simply, you are trying to do too...

In other words, "I don't care that my grammar is incorrect, I am not going to make the changes you suggested." For your forum posts (like the one I am replying to), it is ok to have grammar mistakes, but if you are trying to create a website that promotes your magic professionally, ignoring...

"Zac Eckstein (Z-Magic) has been performing for years. He has done childrens birthday parties, Stand-up shows, stage shows as well as his specialty, close-up magic which is modernly called "Street Magic". His hobbies include listening to music as well as writing and creating his own. He loves...

Honestly, this is just a fancy way of saying, "I am too lazy to put in the time to do the actual sleights from the original Tivo 2.0." And another honestly, the original Tivo 2.0 does not end "that dirty" really. Last honestly, the magical "moment" in the original is soooo powerful, you...

Soooo..., I can expect to pick up some french fries from your drive-thru window when you are 30 years old correct? There is a time and a place fore everything. During your high school years, you are to study. To think otherwise, or to say that all you have to write is "boring crap" or that...

rave ~ Yours is very nice indeed. I see you are using Flash however, which definitely complements the background music (I also really enjoyed this music in A Beautiful Mind, thus it is a great choice). The problem with sites that implement background music, is that either: 1: The site...

I would definitely vote against background music on the site. Also, I am not sure you should have the "enter site" page. What is the point of having it? People will type in the URL to go to your site in the first place. Just having an extra "enter site" page before getting to the actual page...

I know the feeling of wanting to do as much as possible for your spectators, and the feeling of wanting to get through the trick quickly as to minimize the chance for messing up, however, limited time for the video should not equal going through the trick and moving as quickly as humanly...

I like the contrasting color idea with the letters and the spade, but I think the hat graphic overdoes it a bit. I would take out the hat entirely. "top hats" don't exactly shout "close up magician" either, which is why losing it could be good as well. However, I just think the card w/o it...

Someone thinking about getting into riffle stacking probably already has a decent idea of what is going on behind the scenes, but is looking for sources to make learning it easier. Hate to break it to you, but no matter how many sources you read, what you know already is what you have to do...

They have something like this already. Click on the "submit a trick" button. If you do well enough, they will take it, film it, sell it for you.

If you are a professional, you get the details of the party and guests before you agree to do the show / sign the contract, and you avoid that situation. If you encounter that situation randomly (not during a paid performance), just don't do magic that night. You don't always have to do...

Even if the original poster actually was able to figure out the method from the teaser video, it is not actually the point at hand. Just knowing the mechanics of something does not mean you are going to be able to perform it well. I have seen videos on youtube of the BK change already, and...

To be completely honest, it is not at the "I should shoot a video and get people's opinions" level yet. If you think it is, then you are misunderstanding some very simple, yet very important things. If you go back and watch/ listen to the teaching Tony gives in the video, you will notice the...

Hmm, I would say, don't trouble yourself or spend your money on buying sources for the push off DL. The PODL you see Tony do, is one that he developed personally (with some advice of course along the way), and worked on it constantly over the course of several years. To get the PODL that...

Are you learning the 3-5 cards randomly? or Starting in order? Are you learning 3-5 cards from 1 suit at a time? If you are learning 1-5, and then 6-10, and then 11-15, and so on... this will only hurt you in the long run, and will take a longer time to learn this way. An example, 99% of...

First of all. I'm glad there are more people who devoted themselves to this stack. I have been using it for several years now, and consider it one of my favorite things to perform. Shouldn't say, "one of", since there are thousands of things you can do with this stack, especially when you are...

Technically, pretty good. Nice job on the mechanics of the change. Keep working on the getting the, "im just holding the deck," natural feel to it though. Two things to think about. 1: Why show the top card, put it into the middle, and then have it go to the bottom? Why not just randomly...
