As you were describing the story about Chad Long and Juan, my inner child smiled as you were describing the climax. That description alone has me floored, and I didn't even see it yet. Where can you learn the 3 Cards to Spec's Pocket? Is it in Mnemonica, Five Points, or Verbal Magic? Just...

I really loved your recent blog post. I really wanted to go to Magic-Con, but unfortunately I wasn't able to go. Keep up these blogs, I will most definitely be watching your future blogs. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Casey

Do you have to get decks from that dealer? Why not try: http://www.maydey.com I know the owner of the company, Josh Brand, and he is a very nice person and sells Aladdins CHEAP! $3 a deck! Can't get better than that. And they have Smooth Finish.... Cheers, Casey

It is most likely intimidating because of what YOU think. What I mean by this, is that since adults like being entertained, they want to feel like a child again by watching magic. With 16 year olds, they don't want to feel like a child, they want to feel more grown up. So how do you solve this...

It was a good performance, but I'm a little skeptical. You couldn't have switched the napkins, because there are no wrinkles in the napkin from crumpling for a false transfer or shuttle pass, or any extra folds for it to fit in your pockets. And you never go near your pockets at all. Something...

If I'm out performing, a usual double undercut will do the trick. I don't do any fancy, full-of-sleight controls in actual performances. For fellow magicians and videos, I use some fancier ones like the Cherry Control (fools every laymen), a pass, or a dribble pass by Luke Jermay. Those are some...

They should try and have a Magic Castle in almost every major state, or maybe some on the East Coast! It seems as if the West gets all the action....boo. Just kidding, but I would love to see the castle expanding over the next few years, or maybe decades. I for one, of course, won't be going...

Im not sure if I can help you out on this one, but I do know that the new head of the USPCC is changing the Bicycle decks, starting with the new box design which I hate. But you might want to buy another deck from somewhere else and see if this is the case as well. Cheers, Casey Rudd

I was a born and raised Texan for the first 10 years of my life. I live in South Carolina now, but always loved Texas. Hook em HORNS!

Here's a parody I made of him a while ago. Not meant to be the funniest video in the world, but meant to have a chuckle or two. You won't really get it unless you know what he uses or says in his videos. But what some people don't realize is that most of his tricks are very simple; simple tricks...

This is the first time I've seen a LOT of discussion being productive and quality people responding. We all MUST learn something from these past 100 posts, that yes: HOW THE EFFECT IS DONE DOES NOT MATTER. ONLY IF THE AUDIENCE IS ENJOYING THEMSELVES AND HAVING FUN IS THE REASON WHY WE DO MAGIC...

I only gave this out to 5 people to review and try it out. It's not available anywhere at the moment. I'm still adding things to it as we speak. Sorry.

What do you mean by "go cry somewhere else". I wasn't "crying" in the first place. We're all supposed to get along here, isn't that right? I love what Steerpike is saying about this issue, couldn't agree more, but could we please just find a way to discuss this matter without being so negative...

Guys, this is getting way out of hand here. Please stop arguing, grow up, and be done with it. Are you guys really that immature to battle over whose opinion is better? For Christ's sake, just stop arguing, this isn't what the thread was supposed to be about. Just express your opinion, and don't...

That's exactly the response I was waiting for. Im not saying that gimmicks are better than impromptu, no way. Impromptu in my opinion will always be my favprite, but like Jeff said, you need to start with sleight of hand and then start adding gimmicks. That's the point I was giving, maybe I was...

What I would do is not perform it. I wouldn't do it, not because I don't have my deck on me, but because you aren't really supposed to perform the same trick twice. Or I would do this: Friend: "Hey! Do that trick again! Here's a deck. Do it!" Me: "I'll actually do something a LOT better than...

Exactly Luis Vega, that's my point. Have a balance, and not depend on one or the other. Thanks for the responses guys.

Hey guys, Casey here. I just thought that I would take this short amount of time to discuss something that has been a "war" per se between gimmicks and impromptu tricks. It is referred by magicians to perform impromptu magic; no special help from any supplies, just yourself and your object...

Thanks for the review Jv! Glad you liked the material. I'm glad that this review is now out. I've been itching to see what people thought of it. Like you said, there is a lot more to come, with pictures for the explanations, and more. Considering I'm 14 and if you say my writing is good, then...
