Thanks for finally changing the avatar! I haven't heard of this effect so far. But I'd be interested in it when you've finalized it.

Im english but I live in New Zealand.

That wont work. Believe me... whoever told you that is a fool.

Fair enough.

There is a book I have about stage hypnosis... I've done a little bit but not too often. Mass hypnosis (whether true hypnosis or fake hypnosis) takes a lot of skill and isn't something you can drop into in a few days. It takes a few months to get the techniques right. Even when you have...

I'd like to add to that list! I'd say you just keep them separate... like normal people.

I'd say either Burn and Angle Zero by DM (I have them both in one routine). And Stigmata. I strongly recommend all here who haven't already done so to read the two book "strong Magic" and "Creating Miracles". They are both great books and give you the information needed to tune any trick into...

Minor tricks? I think your one of those people who would watch a trick by one person who does it amongst other tricks and thinks it's a minor trick. Then watches the same trick on it's own buy with a lot of talk and story packed into it and calls it a big stand alone trick. What Im trying to...

Also, with burn it's not just the fact that they are gaffs... it's the fact that they are REAL gaffs (they actually look like they have been burnt (because they have been (yes I did just use three sets of brackets inside each other))). That book raises points that put me off of gaff decks (I...

That is not too long for a routine as this depends completely on the situation... I perform in a resteraunt table hopping, but once a week I perform a 30 minute slot. It's a very relaxed routine and works perfectly. So no, this is not way too long.

The best comment I have ever recieved was when I did Angle Zero by DM and made the card's torn corner appear inside a sealed sugar packet (as suggested by Dan Buck in Organic). One guy yelled at the top of his voice "I've seen loads of magicians, even one in the Savoy... but that was bloody...

This is a hard question... as I practice all to a standards where I can perform it if the situation suits. Also, are yu meaning single tricks or routines? As I may have one trick that lasts a minute, but one routine that lasts half an hour filled with many tricks but compiled in a way which...

Man, I'd like to see a normal bicycle deck with the same backs as those tragic royalty...

If your meaning which is best... it depends on the routine and the slieghts your putting it amonst. I really can't say without knowing your whole routine. You have to try both and see which works/feels best.

I used to have a few problems with it until I came across a suggestion by Derren Brown I found in his "Three Card Routine". Basically, you perform the rub-a-dub vanish, then just as you go to lift your hand you fidle about a little (and I mean a LITTLE), make it look like your palming the card...

I was at a festival hosted at an old "historic" greenhouse. I thought it would be the perfect place to do a card through window. Turns out the "historic" glass is real thin...

Burn is great, it gives you an opportunity to expand on it in your own way. I've never performed any of the affects in Burn how DM tells you to, as it is very easy to re-arrange it to fit your own personality. I recommend it a lot. However: I'd say that the Dangerous DVD is probably the best...
