    Fear of gathering a crowd. Need advice!

    This is something that will go away with time. I recommend that you have a few fail proof, fall back tricks that are stress free, such as self working card tricks, key-card effects, or even a Svengali Deck or other gimmick. Also, I advise that when other people walk up, engage them immediately...

    Producing Cards Out of the Air

    Card Productions will be taught in the Black of Spades app releasing next week. In the meantime Jeff McBride's Videos are great and worth the $. Also try a search for "back palm production".

    Considering making a deck, got some questions

    They need to be poker sized (2.5 × 3.5 inches) They need to be the 310gsm with (linen air) for smooth handling. Emboss and gloss should be on the box only (if I'm not mistaken) so that will just depend on design preference. A lot of people have found success with Kickstarter for their card...

    What type of decks do you like?

    Hey Robin, USPCC prints all cards on the same stock now, used to prefer Bee decks... But I digress.. There is a serious market for playing cards right now. I believe magicians like cards that people are used to seeing, Bicycle, Bee, maybe Talley-Ho. Cardistry has brought out some cool designs...

    Constructive criticism for my first routine?

    Hey Elijah, Great job man! Agreed mostly with the above review. I do want to say watch out for "over proving" starting off saying, "I showed him the empty box" immediately raises suspicion of whether that box will remain empty (which really ques you up to catch the blatant switch). It could be...

    Double turnover get ready

    A sleight needs to be committed to muscle memory, so I commend your commitment to getting the move down perfect. I worked in a magic shop for many years. I saw everything from extraordinary to horrible sleight of hand. I have been performing my version of the ambitious card routine for 12+...

    Have you guys seen Chris Ramsay's new series of videos?

    I get the "make my wife disappear" joke often as well. However, I felt like Chris kinda ripped David Stone, because he did it first. (see here @1:25)

    The Ethics of Deception

    What we do is art, which-at it's core is meant to evoke an emotional response. Art is for entertainment, expression, enlightenment, and insight. It is a break from reality, introspective, and though in our art we create illusions of miracles, it is wrong to convince anyone that it is a reality...

    If they're not impressed by magic, how does one change that?

    Some people feel challenged by magic, and don't like to be "fooled". There are several factors that make someone react this way; they feel thrust into the limelight and don't want the attention or focus on them, they don't like to 'look foolish' or be 'fooled', they like a reality that is strait...

    2 hours walk around gig tips?

    There are a lot of factors that go into this. The beauty is, as a freelance artist you can set your own show sequence, and plan the format with the customer. I would plan a 5-10 minute unique routine to perform exclusively for the Birthday person. Then plan to stroll around table to table with...
