I carry around a Predator IKON series cue stick, a 9 foot Brunswick table, and a rack of Aramith billiards balls, so that if someone asks, I can perform a couple of trick shots on request. It's a bit heavy but I have a big back pack.

Hmm. I think you should post a different video every day on EVERY single VERY sleight modification you come up with that you think is mind blowing and awesome to the max on every trick that comes out. I also think you should ignore the advice that seasoned magicians give you and continue to...

its cool you are trying to think of kicker endings, and using the same type of idea from 5 speed... but there are good ways to utilize a kicker ending and there are mediocre ways to utilize a kicker ending. No offense, in your case, it is a bit mediocre... mainly because, the way you presented...

nice handling. been practicing with Tony Chang much lately?

all three of those tricks can be found in his book Carneycopia. I highly suggest picking up this book. This book contains 43 tricks ranging from sponge balls, coins, cards, makeshift hot rods, and utilizes anything found at a dinner table. On top of the 43 tricks, John goes into complete...

I pickpocket and steal their watch... then sell the stuff to the Yakuza. Guy's gotta make a living in these troubling times...

No offense, but put the cards down, stop skipping school, and start studying more. It is cool you are doing well, but the mere fact that I had to read through a wall of spelling and grammatical errors trying to guess what some words were, is really sad. Even if you are planning to make Magic...

Not to knock on the twins' technical skill, because it is amazing, but, if I wanted to wow my audience with the technical skill behind the sleight as my main attraction, I would have gotten into contact juggling. The trilogy and the andthensome dvd fails in comparison when it comes to hard...

Just based off the introduction written in the book, I would have to say Carneycopia by John Carney. Not to mention the 266 pages of amazing magic that he presents ranging from classic sponge ball productions, ace routines, classic coins, etc... There is enough material and theory on the...

Maybe the OP isnt trying to change anything. Perhaps he just wants to know where everyone else stands on this subject. Not every post has to be about "CHANGING THE WORLD OF MAGIC FOR THE GOOD" or whatever... sometimes people just want to chat and compare opinions.

not to belittle their technical skill, as the twins are some of the best card handlers to ever touch a deck of cards... I categorize their magic as "flourish magic." That being said, I can sort of categorize card work into three seperate categories: Flourishes, Magic, and a combination of the...

No pool table??? No round mongolian bbq pit with massive vent system??? No in house Sushi chef??? No on-call jazz/ string quartet to play quietly as you sleep??? No lock-in-closet Thai or Viet master masseuse to rub out those kinks in the neck from a long days work??? No chinese acrobats for...

hehe yeah. I do the spins a lot too. But I do for some reason that is unknown to me have two modes of magic now: Performing and Practicing. when practicing, I do the spins a lot, but as soon as I enter a peformance mindset, they stop unconsciously =) But again, your technique is really...

Honestly, it is getting better from your original two videos, so I applaud you on your efforts to further improve one of your favorite tricks. Likes: The pull in and the pop out, are done smoothly and simultaneously. Good handling. Points to improve on: The DL still looks quite forced...

Unfortunately I went to sleep shortly after I started the thread... downside to living on other side of the world I guess, and was surprised to see four pages of responses. Here is the thing: I wrote the original post in the way that I did, for a specific reason. I know everyone on here...

Funny how this is the "General Discussion" forum, thus making any thread extremely difficult to justify being called "pointless." In addition, I apologize if paying close enough attention to and being justifiably annoyed at the present state of the online magic community. Again, I apolgize for...

I know this will offend some, spur controversy, but I also know this will completely hit home with some people and there will be people agreeing both openly and secretly. STOP treating magic like a get rich quick, half-assed approach, "I am so gooood already" type of hobby. Magic, like a lot...

eak, aaag, arrgg, I admit, you have some nice technique in you... but the amount of UNNECESSARY card handling is just extremely painful to watch . Do you really really need to riffle, spread, spin, fan, the cards that much? Honestly, I would have noticed your refined technique a LOT more if...

Honestly, Prae has it exactly right. If you had posted this video on vimeo.com and password protected it, only letting people hoping to give some constructive feedback watch it, than there would be absolutely ZERO problem. But, no, you put it on a completely public site... You even said so...

hmm... 2H - position 2 4H - position 5 6D - position 6 7D - position 3 3C - position 4 4C - position 1 so you are missing the first 6 cards in the stack. The stack by the way is the Mnemonica stack, and can be learned in Juan...
