my biggest advice to you... not quantity, but quality. This does not mean perfect technique, this does not mean the most popular tricks on the market. What this means is, ask yourself, "have I perfected this effect to the best of my ability." Again, this doest NOT just mean technique...

I would be a better billiards player, dancer, guitarist, and web designer. But hard to do all those things with a deck of cards in my hand. Now, with magic, I am mediocre at all of them. Without magic, I would be good at all of them. teehee

go to http://forcesunseen.wordpress.com and go to the post about the Classic pass. lots of great magicians talking about it and recommending places to check out some material on it.

I am talking about yours. don't get me wrong, I think your handling and execution of the double is great, but the added card handling, ie flicks, can be a bit ... overdone? I think that a single flick, used when revealing a card after a transpo or change is fine... as it adds a bit of...

your handling of the diving board double is great... however, the flicks...... the constant card flicking..... to be honest, makes my head hurt. Check out Liquidsn's blog, and read his post / watch his video, on Visual Noise. It is such an important but very commonly overlooked...

Nope, no Archer or Owen. Not many US players come to the Japan tournaments. Actually, only a few even go to the world pool championships in Taiwan. This year we only had Charlie Williams, Rodney Morris, Thorston Holman, Yuran Cha (korean but lives in US now), and another girl with a weird...

My goal is to be happy at what I do, yet economically stable. I also enjoy networking. I love creating friendships with people in different industries from around the world. I am working hard at trying to become a pro pool player on the Japanese circuit (JPBA) right now, but am also...

I agree with Tatanka. Freshman year of University, this was the first thing he really taught me to do. It was crazy hard at first, but his advice was sound. Getting a break with a thumb count is still probably my most natural and easily accomplished DL. Although, my push off is getting there...

unfortnuately no... I lost my batery charger right before the tournament >_< and since my friends were all professional players, and they always play in these events, they dont really need to bring camers to "capture the memories." No worrkes, I will be back as an official translator next year...

I think you handle the cards smoothly, the variation works, but I agree with Liquidsn. Awkward added time to something that a laymen would sub-consciously think to be a natural action, is when suspicious thoughts are born. Your variation is actually quite similar to Liquidsn's variation...

I for one have seen Liquidsn perform his Push off in various settings, and I remember first seeing it and being astounded at the simplicity and smoothness of it. I totally agree with Morgician on the fact that a DL that requires a break, whether it be a pinky break, thumb break (to each his...

To be blunt. Although I do not know you, or have never seen your material. You are 14 yrs old. A lot of kids get fascinated and enthralled by the idea of "get rich and get famous quick." Even Kevin Ho, an established artist, released his first public material in Manuscript form...

Not sure how many of you are Pool/ Billiards fans out there, but this weekend, I watched the All Japan 9-ball championships. Throughout the weekend, I was carrying my cards getting autographs and what not, and a good friend of mine, a player named Ramil "Bebeng" Gallego, introduced me to some...

To be honest, I would avoid a video altogether. You are trying to sell a service, an up close and personal entertainment service to be exact. I feel that you will be only hurting yourself by having your first impression be made via a video. If you are hoping to be an entertainer, in which...

to be honest... i cant get past the size of the font in your Signature.. Please, PLEASE make it smaller. It is one thing to list your current projects, but that largley, and in that font, is just hard on the eyes.

What you are looking for is the "classic force." I originally learned it from liquidsn (t11 forum member), but also saw it taught on a Paul Green video where he goes through various force routines. It is also taught to a good amount of detal on Wayne Houchin's stigmata video.

Please be careful of exposure when referring to specific slights explained on the DVD. edit your posts please.

Yeah, he was really cool about the whole thing. Got in there, shook everyone's hand, took pictures, chatted and drank with us for a bit etc... Not sure why he was there in the first place. Oh, did I mention that this actually took place IN Tokyo. I mentioned it was a half-Japanese event...

So... I was at a Hapa (half japanese- half other) event and of course I went prepared to do some magic if requested. A little bit into the night I was chatting with a few people and they asked me if I wanted to come into the VIP room. As it turns out, they were hired for the night to do a...

(contd) Now another analogy. This doesn’t only happen to new magicians. Some slightly seasoned magicians with a good base of technique, some performance experience, also make some mistakes. Like a martial artist, imagine that he or she sees a new technique done in a fight, and executed...
