I tend to mostly use Red/Blue Wynns, but I just started using them so I have no way of saying how long they'll last. Other than that, I tend to rotate what kind of deck I'm using a lot so they last a long time. For example, I bought 7 decks of Shadow masters when they were first...

Since I perform a fair bit for my somewhat large family, I actually have a really good reference for this question. Typically, the tricks that get brought the most in discussion as being amazingly memorable are: 1. The Invisible deck I use a Ghost Invisible deck, so that makes for a...

I've recently been loving to do Thunderbird by Lee Asher. Haven't gotten it performance ready as of yet, but it's a blast to do and will totally amaze people when done correctly. ~The Asian

Ah hype...it never seems to fail to sell a product for half of consumers, and somehow irritate the other half because they feel that it's false advertising. ;) I agree that most custom decks are overly hyped up, but in someways I feel that this is a good thing. It is true that a custom deck...

Typically a short ACR (Involving shapeshifter, ego change, and Braue pop-up at various stages), Biddle Trick, and Here then There. If I'm really in the mood for extra hard hitting stuff then I'll bring a loop and do a Haunted Pack. The rare times any of these have fail for me is if I goof in...

This question is directed specifically at those in the community that have experience doing shows for various types of parties, get togethers, or any other types of gatherings. My question (In mulitplpe parts) is: What do you charge? How did you come up with that figure? Did you start...

It would probably depend greatly on what effect you're doing. I have found that certain things are better depending on what you're trying to do. However, the Pass is definitely an excellent choice for most tricks. The main reason I would suggest perfect a couple of different good controls...

Excellent point about not using a mirror! I was, for a while extremely unconfident with my pass because I could see every motion in the mirror. If you have the capability, (And I realize that this isn't always feasible) I have foind that connecting a video camera to your computer and...

Thanks! I'm pretty sure you're right because that is pretty dead on with your description. It is a top card force with no breaks that incorporates a good riffle. I appreciate the info! ~The Asian

Yeah, I got that reaction from my dad too. It's great...I love it! ~The Asian

Read the thread title and the first post a bit more thoroughly. ~The Asian

I would love to see almost anything that you guys want to film! ;) More specifically: Coin work (3Fry was a great video) Flourishes Basics broken down so they're impossible not to learn Older and not as well known sleights from some of the all time greats of magic (Vernon, Scarne, Etc.)...

So I really like Jordan Lappings idea of sharing your best screw up stories for us to read. I actually learned a fair bit from that thread, and got a few laughs as well. With that, how about sharing some of the best reactions you've received from either a single effect or routine. I'm sure we...

Just a couple of days ago, I was performing a simple four ace production as part of a gambling card cheat routine. I showed the aces to be in different parts of the deck and went ahead with a Hindu Shuffle control to get the aces to the top of the deck. As I'm shuffling, the cards are face up...

I do believe I just posted on this topic in another magic forum...oh well, here we go again. ;) What is it that makes magic effective? It is the way that you present the trick. Therefore, I would say that there are no "Best" double lifts, just whatever is comfortable for you to use...

As a beginner, I found the Cross Cut Force to be the absolute best force. It has no slight of hand, and allows you to practice the presentation of your trick. The next force I learned was a type of riffle force. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact name of it, but it is almost a 0 sleight...

I would have to agree with what has been said about misdirection. Your misdirection is part of your performance, and the performance is what makes the magic, not the mechanics. The mechanics are neccessary, don't get me wrong, but just improving your pass is not going to be what truly makes...
