Hey there! I am terribly sorry to have waited so long to respond and thank you for being such an awesome help to me!
Shortly after I published my previous response to you, and enede up getting in touch with Mr. Finley, and he was beyond generous with how flexible he was with taking my...
I figured Cog would be a bit of a stretch to associate with NCMR, but felt I should mention it, giving acknowledgement to the brief section in Banachek's book regarding non-contact numbers(doesn't work as well for me as Cog, but I enjoy playing with different methods to see if I prefer them)...
I see. Sounds like it really does just boil down to practice, then.
And honestly, wow. Drawing duplication seems pretty far out there, based on my limited experience. How long have you been practicing CMR, if I may be so bold to ask?
As for non contact, the closest thing I have ever used...
Really? From the illustrations I saw, I assumed I held the subjects hand/wrist. Would you suppose that might affect my reading? Or, like any medium, handkerchief or otherwise, it wouldnt make a difference? Sorry if the question seems redundant, but I don't want to overlook any minutiae.
On...
To start, I've read Banacheck's Book on CMR, as well as William Larsen's writing on the subject, which, all in all, is phenominally helpful. My experience with CMR is that I perform a lot better with an assortment of objects laid out in front of a spectator and have them focus on one of them. I...
Those look awesome! I wish I had known about these sooner. It a not everyday I see such uniqueness in each individual card, let alone a collective design. Where did you find something as cool as those??
And do you use any of your cards from time to time, or have exclusively display decks...
I'm glad you were able to find something good to hold in during such tough times. I hope things are significantly better now for you than before, and if I may ask, what is Nahuālli/Animism? Nevertheless, thank you for sharing, and I wish you the best
So, does anyone have a favorite deck of cards? I don't mean objectively. I mean emotionally. Like, your best memories with a certain deck. It could have been the first time you played with cards and realized you loved them, or the deck you did your favorite trick with for the first time, or the...
Hey hey! Just wanted to throw in my personal favorite suggestion, COG, by Ben Seward. Its advanced, in a particular way, and you definitely need good presentation, but that's kinda prerequisite to mentalism. On top of that, the procedure makes it look like you can see what's going on in the...
To be frank, it's very difficult for me to find or make time for Mentalism let alone magic in its entirety. Between work and family it's hard to just walk a mile to a park and casually perform for strangers. However, when I do have time, I definitely take advantage of it.
I look at mentalism...
It's been so long since I've had time to comment on this thread. I'm sorry to everyone here who's given me such invaluable advice- most of which, I have indeed taken to heart and have found a much clearer path that has helped me understand mentalism in a deeper manner as opposed to its mere...
Actually, that helped clarify my question a lot more. Thanks for that. But I didn't want to just leave it at sources for effects, in the sense of merely material to look up, but i also wanted to see if anybody could give me some tips on how or where I can find ways to help me develop a...
I've been into magic for some time now, trying to find what type works for me. After about five or so years of experimenting with different genres, I.e., card, coin, general, etc., I'm at the point in my life where these just aren't my cup of tea anymore. I've been somewhat obsessed with trying...
