NEVER use magic specifically to get girls... you'll look like a needy little desparate show-off BUT, doing it spur of the moment, and using some skills is AMAZING for it. My personal faves: -Cigarette vanish (where you lick your thumb) -Tenkai palm credit card vanish -ANYTHING...

Many here will disagree with me, but I have no problem with certain things being revealed on youtube. If someone is revealing say, how to do a pass, or a french drop vanish, or anything that has been around for years, then I have no problem with it, because when I was younger, and knew about...

Excellent idea actually... borrow a coin, shuttle pass it into hand, tell spec to view coin, watch coin melt, as they are looking swap borrowed coin out for a gimmick that looks like a melted coin... somehow switch the liquid for the gimmick, deposit gallium into container for reuse. Only...

Bobo's coin magic for coins... hands down. I'd venture to say Noblezada's money for stuff with bills... although I don't remember if it teaches the thumb tip bill switch... however that's in SO many Sankey DVD's. As for other stuff... It's all around, just look... you can even do what I...

You know what though... if you set your mind to it, really any effect is POSSIBLE. We know "okay, someone can't literally see an apple morph into an orange, however if I could just convince them that it was an apple after I switched it out for an orange... then it would work" and thus the...

I think it's because we're always impressed with complex sleights, and things that fool us. A crazy gambling demonstration with all kinds of impossible to detect false shuffles and bottom dealing impresses us, but laymen are like "oh... how did that happen..." However some effects that I...

Today was a really really boring day at work, so I decided to take advantage of the slowness and do something that was suggested in another post... (I think by visualartist, could be wrong). I decided to ask Laymen what kind of effects they would want to see. I asked pretty matter of...

Amog them. For those unclear what that is, I'll briefly go over some points. Social situations are all about power balances... people who are AMOG's are people who crave the attention for themselves... this is essentially what a true heckler is (someone saying that you have two cards is...

Anyone out there have this? I'm considering ordering it, however I want to know if it's worth investing in. It seems to me to just be a fast version of existing NLP/Guided Hypnosis techniques I used to use when I was really into PUA. Like the October Man Sequence, or any of the Hypnotica...

So earlier today I'm working on my bottom deal (which is TERRIBLE btw), and after gathering up the cards after dealing a round of 5, I do a charlier, and attempt to deal again... however due to a mental lapse, my fingers didn't snap into bottom dealing grip, and instead remained in straddle...

Just wondering if any of you have tried inventing your own coin flourishes? Just imagine the possibilities, two handed rolls, 12 coin circle displays, false flips, muscle passes over the head, palm spread turnovers, spinning the coin on your hand, spinning it on your fingertip, flipping it...

Magic is a performance art... like acting with a specific goal. Just imagine each magic effect as a mini play that is choreographed to decieve the audience. Many can perform the same play, but it takes someone great to make it up to its full potential. Nobody would say that acting isn't an...

Okay, just wanted to say that I have a real problem with people reffering to athiesm as another form of religion. It's not, because our beliefs change based on evidence and fact... if we were presented with dinosaur fossils dated 5000 years ago, or if god literally showed himself instead of...

We hold vastly different personal views, but you speak the truth brother *tips hat*.

That is an INCREDIBLY good point... I'd never thought about it that way.

The christian point of view though is: "There are people out there who are unsaved, and it's our DUTY to bring them to god." So being heckled to them is just proof of how our society has strayed so far from the word. There's this idea in NLP that people get caught up in belief cycles...

Years ago I would've agreed. However in the past few years I've grown up a little bit. Do I think religion is false, yes. Do I think it's fair to criticize, yes. But the bottom line is if you are an entertainer, you're going to cut off huge scores of people you can entertain if you are...

I've found for myself, I just laugh about it and tell people it's a trick, then teach them something simple so they understand a little bit. Obviously I'm not going to teach them like, the clipshift or anything rediculous, but showing them how to do a french drop, or really anything relatively...

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I tried searching. Anywho, just wondering how you guys handle it when you get caught, i.e you slightly fumble a sleight, you drop cards or accidentally muscle pass that coin you have in classic palm (lol). I think this an experience every single one...

Ain't that the truth (points to Phelps family). Everyone has their hypocritical side, it's just weather you're aware of it or not, and what you do about it. *shrugs*
