    Need some ideas!

    Whatever it is, make it resistant to slow-mo rewatches. Or you could do exposed gambling slights or cardsistry. If you want to specifically do magic, I'd recommend the molecule card reveals on the everythingelse disk of the trilogy.

    Never said they were. Perhaps there's more intent and subtlety to his performances than I give him credit for. However I have yet to see any evidence of this.

    How many magicians have gotten into acting in addition to magic shows?

    Artistry. Doing more than just getting off on a trendy "edgy"'style and a very good tv crew. The example I like to use is dan sperry. I'm not a big fan of his style but he is actually skilled both technically, and otherwise, he understands presentational subtleties.

    How many magicians have gotten into acting in addition to magic shows?

    I keep saying that angel is not "a magician by any reasonable mode of measurement. " every single example listed by Christopher T is meaningless, as numerous "artists" have demonstrated that success does not always correlate to actual skill. The post keeps vanishing without notifications, unlike...

    How many magicians have gotten into acting in addition to magic shows?

    Why does that post keep getting removed? and why am I not being notified? That's a valid point.

    How many magicians have gotten into acting in addition to magic shows?

    I consider calling angel a magician like calling, say, Arpaio, an officer of the law.

    I like to use my mounted phone camera in selfie mode for practicing. Not recording, just watching the screen. And normally for practicing angle judging.

    Magic or Cardistry

    I don't think cardistry skill translates well to magic. It is likely they will develop similarly as your dexterity improves, but learning, say, Sybil isn't really going to help your pass or stuff like that. Ultimately, just go with whatever combination you prefer.

    Revolution cut help?

    Try doing it with just two cards. this will be a good way to practice avoiding tension. It's ok if you need to separate them with the other hand to get things started. once your comfortable, add more until it gets hard again. Repeat.

I personally hate the stereotypical magician, which sadly, but justifiably seems to be what laymen typically think of upon hearing the term. Usually, I just...

    Having an Accomplice

    Methods are methods. To quote helder guimeraes: "I try to not limit myself to a normal deck of cards. For me getting the magic moment, the magic feeling... that's really the most important thing. " as with any method, you must consider the potential repercussions if you get busted. The risks are...
