I tend to perform quite well under the influence. Not ugly turning beautiful extremely drunk, but on the "tipsy happy" side of being drunk, you tend to feel less pressure and open up more. And also, to be quite honest, if your spectators are also at the same level of intoxication, you really...

It is a double lift, but in an essence, you are not letting the entire double fall flat onto the deck before putting the "selection" into the middle. This helps the illusion that you are lifting a single. However, it is not original, there are many forms of this, and I have been doing this...

You should know by now people that not all tricks need patter... if the presentation does the trick justice. I am not saying his presentation is good enough to eliminate the need for patter... but, I have seen people do this trick amazingly w/o saying a word, and being truly impressed... i.e...

work on the original control, you will be glad that you did

I'll say you should do your research and rethink your percentage.

Problems: Trick does not match the name. Black aces go hide, but the red aces only find the Ace of clubs, not the Ace of spades. You find the Ace of spades. Very very anticlimactic. Think of a way in which after you sandwich the Ace of clubs, it somehow quickly changes to the spades, thus...

For beautiful scenery, good food, nature, outdoor sports, skiing, beach, cultural diversity, etc... I would recommend Seattle. However, you will need to be ok with rain and wind. Seattle is also close to Vancouver Canada, which is very nice and can provide for some fun entertainment. New...

Actually no. I have been living and TEACHING at a university in Tokyo for the last 4 1/2 years, but prior to, lived 22 years of my life in America. I know the education systems of both countries IN and OUT very well, and my highly agreed upon opinion (by both Japanese and other Americans)...

WOW Magicfreak667, I can't believe that every single university in America hasn't offered you a teaching position. Your understanding of how this world works is so perfect (and you know it of course), that it is truly the country's loss not having you teach everyone else your ideals. You...

Again.... wow, Seriously people, step outside the box, step outside your little world and think about things for a minute. By your same logic, if I am passionate about gorwing up to be a sharp shooter for the US army, I should carry a gun around with me wherever I go, even though the law says I...

Magicfreak667- I have come to a very accurate conclusion over the last week looking at your posts that you, are an extremly arrogant, un-educated, full of yourself, little human-being who can only offer cinicism to people who actually know what they are talking about (which I am sure you...

Nothing to do with the content of the book, but I highly suggest getting a professional editor to edit the book. Not sure if what you posted is just a first draft or what you will be putting in the book, but as it reads now, it screams "amateur writer". Not to sound harsh, but if you are...

I'm sorry, it is really hard to take you seriously when you cuss so much. You mentioned that you are not rude, just honest. However, if it is honesty that you are trying to portray, you will have more success if you leave out the foul language. What are you trying to prove? That you are...

This may sound harsh to you, but please keep in mind that, the more we coddle someone, the less likely it becomes that the person will truly be able to understand the flaws in his performance. Coddling someone only patronizes them. Think about this would you please. The post on your youtube...

Use of patter is completely up to magician. I for one believe that the patter is what sells the routine. Great patter can make a short 3 phase ACR the most memorable experience for a spectator... whereas mediocre patter can make perfectly executed ACR through the use of amazing/ difficult...

nope. single lifts only

proposal: ACR without using a double lift, top change, or pass. As many phases as you like. Live or shot at home. Don't care about editing, music, etc... only care about the technique, and the ACR still looking natural/ smooth, etc...
