Hey everyone, I was looking for a close up pad to practice and perform on sometimes. I found these ones on Penguin Magic: Close Up Pad - Professional VDF Small Plush Pad without Pockets Magic Mat 11x14 Close up Pad Trevor Duffy Presto Pad Only the VDF had reviews on it, but I don't...

Awesome, thanks everyone. This stuff was exactly what I was looking for!

Hello everyone, I just came across the video about Apollo Robbins that Theory11 news reported about and he talks about misdirection and how it works for him. I got interested and I'm wondering if anyone knows any specific books about magic on misdirection, mainly the psychology or theory...

good job to the winners, but like many have been asking, will the "Indestructable" Erdnase be for sale to the public?

Very nice take on a classic trick, but might I say you did flash some parts. Not saying it was a bad performance, but it wouldn't hurt to redo a video to clean up some parts.

Ah I see. I'm pretty new to the forums so I guess I'm not too familiar with that, but thanks for the heads up. I've tried looking around but no luck. Thanks to others for their opinions, and I guess looking over the product and video description, it may just be another pick-up book -...

I don't know what you're getting at, but if there's a problem with what I've posted then, I guess, I'm sorry. I'm not interested in the book for picking up girls, but I personally like the psychology of humans and their interactions, and a book that incorporates magic, something I like, and...

Anyone check this book out or have any comments on it? Looks like a fun read, but I just want to make sure it's worth it.

Yeah, my first thought was Garcia's move as well. But very well executed. I actually just watched it and tried it out, I'm surprised I haven't seen such an idea before. Personally I'd say there may be a angle problem, but I guess it depends on how it's going to be used? But very simple and...

YES! Thank you so much!

Alright, it's been killing me all night yesterday and today. I remember watching this video of, I forgot who, did a story telling scene with a deck of cards. I remember it was in front of a big live audience, and he walks up to the front row and there's a table there and he does the trick then...

Thanks for the input guys! I've watched the videos suggested and checked out all the resources suggested.

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get a list of some ideas for card gimmicks. This may sound like I'm cheating off you guys, but I just wanted to get some ideas to make some gimmicks of my own. I was thinking more along the lines of mechanical gimmicks such as flipping cards, or something of...

Along the centre line, the three spheres he mentions don't align to the centre line the same way, as well as the centre piece isn't aligned to the lines radially outward from the centre. Again, these are small details which can be buffed out if going into a final design. Just gets on my nerves...

Oh man, you guys are having such a good time talking about this movie, it's actually making me jealous. Can I get details on the movie? What year it was created?

I think the cards have a great design and you nailed your theme of an old look. Personally I noticed that the cards weren't symmetrical, which I figured would be what you were aiming for. Their smaller details that would bother me, but if you didn't care much for symmetry then I think they look...

Thanks for everybody's input and suggestions! Looking forward to hearing more. I find that maybe I don't even need a mentor, but only a friend or of the sort to also appreciate magic as much as I do. To have a close friend practice with me, I'd feel comfortable and we could joke but also be...

I've been reading some magic sites and forums, and i came across a post on iTricks, where they pointed out how essential it was for a young magician to have a mentor. So I've been thinking about the whole idea of a mentor guiding me to become more experienced, and now with school being over...

Hey, I'm new to the forums, so go lightly on me if I'm posting something wrong or if it's been posted. So my question: What are essential magic books that you think everyone should read if you're serious about magic? I've already purchases the expert at the card table, expert card...
