First off, get rid of the trick decks, and grab a regular deck of cards. Then work on: The Balducci Force - Simple and quite effective, requiring only a peek before getting into your routine. Peek 2nd from top and then make sure you fully demonstrate the force from start to finish to get the...

What is the original fan in the JasPas Only video that he starts with one hand and then executes the second fan with his other hand? Whatever it is, it's totally sick. That guy is amazing, especially that vid...

I also like the Black Bikes, but, after getting my brick of TH9s, I am quite partial to them at the mo... For looks, I like the Tally Fans and I like Ghosts. Slick design on the Ghosts, and my deck has lasted quite a while. The Vipers look cool, but I think I prefer the regular TH9s instead of...

I can't even access that link. Access denied. I have an E account, too... Hmmmm....

Thank you Lang. Any tutorials are mucho appreciated. I will peep these when i get home from the daily grind...

Card College is the way to go.

Amazing books. I have Vol. 1 and 2, and I get a TON of use out of them.

I found the WERM to be the easiest on The System. Genesis was quite a bit tougher for me.

What is a good resource with which to learn quite a few different color changes? In other words, I don;t want to chase down 50 different books or vids to learn changes, and I am wondering what people feel is the best collection of changes in one source.

You know, it's funny. When I first saw the method for Revolution, I laughed and shook my head, figuring it was so clearly obvious, that any chump would be able to figure it out no matter how well it was performed. Meanwhile, I do it all the time at bars or in line somewhere, and it blows people...

Pressure fan for me. I learned it and the carnahan this past week (thanks XB and Sleightly Magical), and the carnahan is coming along nicely, but I just can;t get the pressure correct on the pressure fan. Hopefully soon...

I just got a brick of TH9 Fans on ebay for 19.95 +6 bucks shipping. It took a while for a deal to appear, but it did eventually.

Practice? That's a good tip, sure, but, what if they don;t understand the correct technique quite yet, then practice is BAD. Practicing incorrect technique is never a good idea, because it is really tough to "unlearn" a poor technique in anything really. I feel it is critical to make sure you...

Congrats Vinnie :) I have been a mod on a site for years. Fun stuff!

Not familiar with Last man Standing. Link to a performance of the trick?

Fourteen? You talk about "younger magicians" as if you aren't one. You are. I get your point, though. I agree to some extent, but, I think it is entirely based on the personality traits of the observer. Different people react differently to different stimuli, so I guess just let it be what...

Of all the material I have run across on the subject, XB is the most in-depth, and, certainly, the most well produced and put together. For a quick comparison, let's compare The System with XB: It's like night and day to me. XB has an amazing amount of content, taught in several different...

I actually started to get this going last night. Well, the spring is starting to get smooth, anyway. Perhas I shall have it down soon...

Triumph is one of my favorite tricks. I use a different version, though, without the false riffle and new deck finish. My version is probably a bit "dumbed down" but it requires no set-up, and can be pulled off totally impromptu with any deck, anywhere, anytime. I do like the new deck finisher...

Ok so...use normal cards... Got it... Oh! And the Ghost, according to what you posted, "Looks like a normal deck to me," so... I guess I am all set with the Ghosts then, eh? Nice. Thanks for the advice! Ghosts it is....
