I think that is a great way to approach magic. If you are really wanting your audience to believe it is true magic, that allows you to pursue magic in a clean way. What I mean is, if you keep this mindset, you will be able to appropriately choose which sleights to use. You will want to master...

Good responses so far, keep em coming =). I do slightly disagree with how you are putting it however. I don't disagree with your overall passion for what you believe magic accomplishes, but just the way you are wording it. I believe magic is a tool/medium for giving people those joys/...

... about doing magic? There has been some negativity floating around in some of the past threads, and I apologize for adding to it. So, I wanted to start a thread with a possitive nature to it, one that would allow us to actually learn about other magicians and share perspectives. A lot...

What I was trying to say was that, cussing in general is not my style (both written text and actual speach). Though sometimes, through heated debates and sleep depravation, unwaranted words do from time to time, find their way into the conversation. However, that being said, because it it not...

I might have used to agree with you. However, a big flaw in your statement is, you assume I am looking for glory / recognition in the first place. Actually no, and sometimes, especially now a days, the only way to get a valid point accross, is to be as blunt as you can. The more gentle...

Ok, so I am going to touch upon something that hasn't been mentioned much. Morgician kinda was leaning towards getting into it a bit, but let me take it a bit further. Exposure: There is the angle where exposure effects the spectator, and the angle where exposure effects the magician. I...

I am absolutely convinced that you are a complete moron. Either that, or you have been doing magic for maybe only one day so far, and have not yet had the experience to know any better. Number 1. People get angry at exposure for various reasons, yet you only touched upon one. One of the...

No offense, but you only use 40 cards from a normal deck of cards, because you claim 52 cards is too many, and your hands can't handle a full deck. This is not an advanced level.

In case you dont know who the OP is... this is the kid that buys everything E has, books, DVDs, etc... than makes a youtube video saying how everything SUCKS, because it is too hard. He even said this about Card College series. He complained how he wasted 300 dollars on stuff that he couldn't...

It is a bold statement saying that "it has never been created before." I hope you have read your fair share of magic books, because you are claiming that you have come up with something that the world's best magicians have never done. I am inclined to think you need to do some more research...

Ok, so for some real advice on this. I will answer your question in several ways because I do not know exactly what you are looking for. 1: If you are looking for a professional website that you can show future possible clients, then learning how to build said site by yourself, will...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiskyO-GiAE It is all in Japanese, (originally french), and is done by Bebel, one of the best, smoothest technicians around. I was able to figure out the entire opening and routine from watching the video (this was before his DVD was released, also all in...

Ok. I am going to be totally honest with you, because it is time that we start telling things for what they really are. Sure you post this video on youtube, and you get comments like, "DUUUDE. TRAYDZ wit me, I got all da E tricks, we can trade!" and "THAT WAS KILLA smooooth! But...

TRUTH: Shortcut magicians = lazy and unwilling to spend time on the actual magic. Get it done quickly, get it done mediocre, start showing people. That is the banner for young magicians.

... ok people, you can't really give an answer until the OP answers the following question. The sandwich you are trying to steal from, are you only holding the 3 cards, or are you holding the entire deck, with the sandwich either on top or in the middle of a spread somewhere. If the sandwich...

no offense... but if you say this is "your favorite trick," this tells the rest of us many things, but 3 very important things. 1- You never perform for anyone, and thus, have no idea what kind of effects are out there and get what reactions. 2- You have never read through a classic magic book...

It was summer time, I was on a train in downtown Tokyo. I was sitting down (not too full of a train, or else I would be standing.) At one of the stops, a girl gets on the train and stands near the door, funny I think, since there were plenty of seats. (She was about 28-30). I noticed she...

your last post had the title "どけでも日本語" which is a mistake. It should be, "どこでも日本語"

First, about the video: It is a basic in the hands reset routine. There are MANY, yes MANY reset routines. Do a youtube or google search on Bebel's "repro retro" for the best reset routine. For more indepth information, read through the following thread at the MC...

I have two seperate replies to your post, depending completely on how you would answer the question... "Do you want to be a magician? Or do you want to be someone with a few fun party gags/ tricks?" I will start with the simple answer, as if you said yes to the latter... Answer: The 10...
