The cups and balls set just arrived today. They seem very good. I`m just having 1 problem - the chop cup. Is there any better way to dislodge the ball other than hitting it harder on the table? When I put force, the cup makes a big noise, and the ball still doesn't fall. Only when I hit it...

Thanks for all the information, very helpful, like you said I think the metal ones will be expensive for now, and because I`m just starting, like you said, aluminium should be okay, but when I'm more advanced at cups and balls, (when I buy my next set), I will take it into consideration also. I...

Thank you. Replied.

Hello, I'm new to the cups and balls, I've just learned it and can kind of do it (not yet mastered, but still practising), the one in Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. I've been practising with crumpled paper balls and with styrofoam cups (the balls' diameters are bigger than the...

Any more ideas? Thank you.

Great, Thanks! I agree that I need more experience, but not much more, because I`ve performed in parties and stuff, but as a volunteer, and it went great the times I did, but I`ve never done shows (only for people that aren`t strangers, but not actually shows). But I do have some experience...

Wow, thanks. Mall sounds like a great idea, I can't this week, but I'll try it out next week. One question, who should I approach? At the mall, people are usually walking to a specific place, or eating, I don't think any of these would be good people to show magic. So who? I was thinking of...

I've been showing tricks/performing for friends, family, family friends, a few strangers at parties and etc, but I wanted to perform more, and for more/different people. Any suggestions where and how? I do close up, mostly cards, but I'm just starting with coins, about a month ago, so I'm still...

I was banned from the cafe too... But mine was for no reason (or I think it was). All I did was create a thread, and reply to people. Nothing disrespectful, nothing rude (again not that I noticed). Next time I went on the website my thread had disappeared. I tried logging on, and guess what...

Since I`m also in the process of creating that trick, if you could PM me as well, I`ll really appreciate it. Thanks!

Wow, I just had to reply to this one, just yesterday, I was also trying hard to create a new effect, and had the exact same idea to do a card to bottle trick (I`m not joking, it`s true). I`m still trying to come up with a method. I did, but it still needs a lot of work, for sure. What a...

A lot of us have a big repertoire of tricks. Maybe cards, and maybe coins. So I am curious how you choose which tricks to perform, and when. I personally look at how much time we have, if there is a table or not, and etc, but a lot of times, I just do the first thing that comes to mind...

Thank you. I appreciate it. Please keep it coming. I still need help with stopping the finger motion. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I've been reading all of the replies, and practicing a lot (my fingers are even hurting, lol). So I think that I am now able to cover that flash now. The bigest thing is tilting the deck down so that it is covered. Here is my new pass: http://vimeo.com/18066477 Password...

Hello, I recently started working on the classic pass. But I keep getting the problem, every time I do it. I wasn't able to fix it, no matter how many times I tried. I keep getting a huge flash on the bottom of the deck every time I do it. I read other threads on the pass, but mine wasn't fixed...

Every time a do the switch, you can see the corner of the palmed card (other than that, the switch is good), any tips? Thank you.

That's true.. for everything in magic. Thank you.

Thank you, I bottom deal, so that is a good thing, but if I did it to someone in a table in a magic trick (after a lot of practice), would they think that something is weird while I was turning over the card, or can I make them think that I actually just regularly turned over the card? Thank you.

Hi, in this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbNkoqnvihw what is the move that he does at 2:33 - 3:25 called, and where can I learn it? How hard is it? What would it compare to? Is it harder than bottom dealing? A lot? Because I don't even know how to start doing this move, it seems so...

So it is made by Vernon himself, but what is the goal of the DVDs? To learn sleights? Cheating? Effects? I read the description of the Individual DVDs, but I don't know what a lot of those are. Is it for my skill level? And where will it take me? Sorry I'm asking YOU all of these questions...
