Is it just one algorithm that does it everytime? and the blindfold bit is pretty dissapointing.

If you know a bit about card magic i would seriously recommend my basic walkabout routine that works well. Radar Deck //Deck switch to Osterlind Stack Mind reading by calculating card ... Lots of presentation required. Invisible Deal Swammi Number Leads onto some other mentalism effect...

I don't care what people say, no matter how much you practice if you are looking for any type of moves Zarrows and the pass are like neon lights.

Recently when doing mentalism i have found a new type of heckler, one that lets the trick happen, the spectator be amazed, then tell them a few minutes afterwards while i'm still there. Without throwing away my reputation i actually got so annoyed i told this guy to "Eat **** and die" .. sorry...

Organic Feel? Direct Mind reading is very impressive and seems natural. ESP is quite good, but not as impromptu, and Radar Deck for me is always an absolute winner.

Without revealing much of the methodology of how this works, obviously this isn't a trick. Is the blindfolded bit pure skill and actually based on memory or is it something like a gimmicked blindfold. Sorry if this is exposure but i can't find this out anywhere.

Basically a Do as i Do in which you dont even touch the cards, does anyone have this or can recommend it? Derren brown performs it in trick of the mind, but does this use two decks, or just the one?

While most of the people here have a point, personally i'd recommend jumping in at the deep end, my first real performance was for a group of 30, i did an invisible deck, somehow managed to screw it up, and then recover. The confidence i had after doing this was phenomenal and much more than...

Good to have you on board!, What sort of area would you look at helping out with? , performances, writing editing etc...?

Inspired by the lack of performances and abundances of explanations on youtube i feel we need to bring back some of the magic that we so keenly discuss, a collaboration if you will of a short series of maybe 4, 10 minute episodes focusing on a specific topic. If this sounds like something anyone...

It's likely that many of you have seen this but for those who haven't this is a real treat, the Masked magician messes up a self working trick live on television. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8tQgHiMGGU&feature=related ... talk about karma :D

I have no idea if this has been done before, if it is a good idea, a bad one or should even be attempted. There is an upcoming talent show and i had a strange idea of doing a double act with a friend who wouldn't be doing magic, but would be an equal partner in the act, has anyone tried this...

Intelligence has nothing to do with logic, which is commonly what will cause your magic to be unravelled, oh and its MENSA by the way. People are too hung up on intelligence, IQ, without the knowledge is useless, if anything, people who are intelligennt and believe they can't be fooled, are...

A good read i agree with you for the most part, too many people are happy with the basic principles, and just buy tricks without making them their own, and to this i say... who cares? they do whatever makes them happy, no-one can turn everyone into someone who takes it seriously, and if people...

yay, so using plain bikes doesn't make you dull and cheap.... well they look good in the uk, so gutted for you lot over in the us of a.

OOh, count me in if it's still open!

I am hoping that stands for something other than the disturbed image i have in my mind. :D

I'm at the same sort of place i think.. although stuff from the trilogy is just over a little too quick for my liking, and i'd rather write my own material such as a 3 card routine etc, why don't you give that a go?

Invisible Deal, or a Mental Photography Routine

Are they reliable techniques, or likely to work i.e NLP, would you need an out as well just to be safe?
