About Shigeo Futagawa's notes, I will ask around here in Tokyo. I am sure I can find something. and I like the performer in this one =) /wink http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=bWDKNgrhHbU

I ordered Several packs. Opened the first pack, and within about 10 minuts of just simple handling (fans, cuts, farros, etc...) they became warped. Like the cross diagnol bent warped (if you put one card, or the whole deck on a table, only two opposite corners touch the table). It isnt humid...

I started swimming from Tokyo yesterday!! I will be there soon !! Someone bring a towel for me would ya? I'll be soaking wet.

SMALL. Is this a legit reason for taking SOO long to learn some of the flourishes out there. I know with a lot of dedicated hard work, small hands won't be a problem for a lot of the flourishes out there, but it is definitely keeping me back a bit and presenting some frustrating...

In Japan, its extremely sad, but sometimes the train lines stop for an hour or more due to someone committing suicide. This can happen at the most inconvenient times as well, on the way to work, on the way home, etc... I have been here for 3 years now, and have been stuck on a train for this...

Heck, with that kind of a review, and scrapping 10k decks. I will buy three bricks !! I gotta make sure I am stocked for a looong time over here far from home =(.

all of them? then re-sell on ebay ??? wait no.. sorry nm. Umm. a brick or two =) I live in Japan... springing for shipping and handling whenever I need more cards is a pain =/ cries. And since I'll be the only person in Japan using them =) /cheer for me.

another rare pack are the first edition black back whit white border Marlboro cards. These original onese weren't produced anymore due to lacking the Surgeon General Warning on the case, etc... They handle EXTREMELY well, fans, farros, etc.. If I had 20 or so packs, I would be performing with...

This is what I do in Japan. If I am in a bar scene... I have two basic ways of getting an audience formed. 1: I am already with some friends, showing them some tricks, and nearbye laymen catch eye of what is happening, maybe the end of some trick and then generally scream in an extremely...

TY for all of the replys. I am back in Tokyo again and have actually had a chance to do a friendly stroll around (for free, but fun) in my friend's bar. I am now carrying the following. Regular deck, Invis Deck, and Deck in Mnemonic stack ( I love Mnemonica). I do not always get to Mnemonica...

I was only wondering cuz I am in Tokyo as well. No harm intended.

this the "Cyril"? or just the name for fun times? And yes.. practicing sleight of hand every waking moment.

yeah. invis deck works wonders in Japan. Japan is all about simple yet visual. Don't beat around the bush too much, get to the set up, hype up the effect, do it.. done. My friend has used simple version of Crazy Man Handcuffs to help him finalize business deals for the largest Advertising...

I am curious as to what tricks / effects, fellow magicians must include, or always include when they do walkaround, whether it be for casual bars, or more fomal events. I can tell you that digital disolve is now a part of mind =) (thanks t11). I have recently started doing more walkaround...

Depending on how many spectators of course... but generally I used a dribble pass, or a really slow double undercut while talking with spectators. For the occasional fun loving bar crowd I just grab the card back and top change then put the indifferent card in the middle slowly and clean as...
