Look up Expert Topiting Made Easy by Carl Cloutier. The man is brilliant and is an excellent companion to Ammar's material. Topits are definitely worth the trouble of altering a suit if you perform in one.

I second that. I've toyed with several marking systems in the past and this one is by far my favorite. If you're looking into getting a marking system, definitely give this one a try.

Good job. The effect of the revelation isn't that great since you initially "find" their card with them picking a number between 1-5. When that happens, the second revelation with the card found face down in the deck is very anti-climatic. If you can manage to get their card to appear...

Factory Sealed is the first Coin Thru Bottle effect that I have ever purchased and I must say that I'm extremely impressed with it, to the point that there really is no need for me to shop around anymore concerning the CTB plot. It just works great for me. Definitely worth the money.

While doing the reveal, point out to the spectator the color of the marks. Start to reveal the identity of the card as a "red card." This should later make them wonder about what it would have looked like had it been a black card. - Carlos

One could probably write pages and pages of criticisms concerning our art and what is right or wrong about it. In the time I've spent discussing this topic with others, I've noticed one particular problem that seems to be at the root of all other grievances expressed by magicians and the like...

I agree with you. To me, it's a double-edged sword. As I am a mentalist, I would love to be able to discuss this art and its concepts here at theory11, but at the same time, I recognize that by doing so in a specialized forum, it makes the art too accessible, thus exposing many aspects and...
