Good to hear man, it's like the highlight of my year. I live in the West Midlands so its a fair treck for me but I'm used to it by now. This year me n my three fellow performers were sat on the floor between carrages opposite a toilet playing guitar n flourishing because there were no seats, was...

No worries man. Don't actually remember what advice I gave you, was it on busking? Cause thats one of the main things that occupies my mind atm as I've not long come back from Edinburgh's Fringe Fest. I'm building up my routine for next years Fringe. I'm spending an entire year on it...

It makes me happy to read stories of sucessful performances. I'm glad it went so well for you. You'll just need to remember to not be a trick monkey and pander to every single request to perform it. Treat it more like a mirical than just a magic trick because thats what its designed to be :). I...

My sincerest apologies. I hope you like my correction :) and 'Elite Prestidigitation, you are far from "humble/modest" lol. also Cushing0 your right this does seem to be going off on a tangent.

Hey man. Hows it going?

I'd agree with jprace, don't be a magic monkey. If you ever perform for someone, especially if they're a stranger. Only do about two or three effects. And then let them know thats all you are going to show them for the moment. You can't claim to be performing "miricals" and then whack out 10 of...

Usually something not involving cards. And the reason is because it throws them off. And gives you an edge on them. They are expecting you to do a card trick. So when you agree and then proceed to put your cards away and do something completely unexpected I feel it works better. An example for...

I agree with Matt. An example closer to home would be if you perform an effect for a layperson. Say you were doing an ACR to them they saw you put their card in the middle of the deck yet suddenly its back on top. They know what they saw and can't deny what they saw with their eyes only question...

I would have to agree with everything ChristopherT said. I was at Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year (I go every year to perform with three friends) and just being there this year I learnt more about performing than I have in the past year. One thing I would suggest is go out to anywhere there...

I quite agree...

Yeahh well I obviously wouldn't use his script. I don't use anyones scripts but my own, I personally think it shows a severe lack of creativity and individuality to use someone elses script and could never imagine doing it. Think I am going to invest in it for the effect, I've watched a clip...

Yeahh I found Steve Spill's version. But it costs sooo much and its full of his scripts and stuff which I'm certainly not interested in. And I have a razorblade swallowing effect by Sperry as I love the guy but theres an item I need which I can't seem to find over here in England :/ But looking...

I realise there has probably already been loads of threads about this topic so I promise to keep this short, sweet and promise it will disapear as soon as I have an aswer. I've been searching the 'wonderful' world wide web for the best version of the classic Needle & Thread Swallowing effect...
