I completely agree - I don't expect YouTube to have nearly a fraction of the contents that can be found in books. However, if I'm making the argument that books are the way to go because its contents cannot be found on YouTube - which in turn nullifies the heckler issue.. and the magician is to...

Well no offense but it's also ironic that one would claim to 'read books' and can't quite read what I posted. I never claimed to 'learn magic from YouTube' - my point was tutorials of specific moves can be found on YouTube or other overlapping moves as part of another trick for hecklers to use...

Have you been on YouTube recently? And beside, my point was some of the moves were picked up or in some cases can be guessed. Laymen can understand the concept of double lifts, false cuts, palming etc just by watching a few videos here and there. Hecklers may just randomly guess an effect by...

I would disagree because the heckling would've happened first. If a heckler is present, he will heckle irregardless of your performance style.

'Now do the trick' After someone has performed. :cool:

It's not always the case that your performance was lacking. I remember one time I performed for a group of people, I forgot what the trick was - but that one guy mentioned going on YouTube, and even though didn't watch tutorial for that specific trick, suspected I did some of the moves from the...

A gimmick that is undetectable because of its overabundance of obviousness.

What do you mean?

I like gimmicks and special decks as well. But I don't like opening with those. For all they know, I may not have any real skills and the cards are doing everything. The same decks one may buy from a magic kit at Toys R Us. I'd like them to think I'm great at sleight of hand instead of look...

I used to perform a tons in High School as well (5 years ago - here is where it began for me as well), so I can kind of relate to your story. You carry a deck of cards with you, because most students do. It's not unusual for students to have a deck handy to play during recess and breaks (and...

I'm sorry for this self-absorbed thread, most of you don't care anyway and I'm at work bored. I joined T11 in 2009 - roughly 8 years ago when I was 15 years old. This place has helped me tons into adapting in my new city and new school at the time. I had been into magic before then, but the...

So is there anyway where i can learn how to fabricate my own impression pad, where i ask the spec to write something down in a notepad, have them tear the paper out and know what their word is ... I initially thought of using carbon paper but for some reason, i cannot find it anywhere where i...

Well the title says it all ..

lol this happens to me sometimes too

yeah it was at school in the cafeteria... way too much noise

Let me know what you think: Link Pass:t11

Well i'm not a big fan of ellusionist for no particular reasons, but i wanna know, from people who bought products, mainly decks, from E, what's the main difference when compared to T11, is it better or worse.

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLtfO17R2AM I would personally give it a 2/10. How much would u rate it, from a cardician's point of view.

What do you mean by contribute ... do u think people like us is gonna sit on our *** trying to revolutionize the art of card magic ? This is a forum ... you can post whatever you want, if you would like to "contribute" you wouldn't even be on this page.

Well , the title says it all.
