My personal favorite is when people say "That's creepy" (in the astonished kind of way, not the scared kind of way). It's my favorite because I didn't just amaze them; I truly got into their head and shook them to their core. I usually get this reaction with mental magic/mentalism effects. It...

Thank you! I will definitely make use of this

I am thinking doing magic with ESP would be interesting, but I don't know of any tricks using ESP cards. You guys know any?

Would you say "Life" is real world practical? And does the loops DVD only show levitation effects or also other ways to use the loops?

I just got my loops, and I am enjoying them so far. I want some more tricks with loops, as well as subtleties and tips for lighting and so on. I am wondering whether to get Guerilla Guide to Loops of Fin John and Yigal Mesika Loops DVD I have heard more good things about The Loops DVD, but...

I'm not sure that's it. They all told her (the participant) exactly what I had done afterwards, and the fact that I touched someone else. Afterwards, the reactions were pretty good. They all thought it was amazing. There was just those 4 seconds of silence.

I just learned Midas Touch, which I performed at a family gathering. When I did the first touch, people started audibly gasping and laughing a bit, but when I was done, there was complete silence. People where just staring at me and the participant. When the participant learned that I had...

Exactly

Anything related to magic. You really don't want to make the entire date about magic. But that's boring, so let me make it a bit more interesting. "I am going to touch you" (invisible touches). "Have you ever heard of people who can bend silverware with their mind?" *Waiter looks nervously...

Switchcraft sounds like something I was looking for. But if I had to be specific, I would want something similar to Touchin on Hoy, as I had mentioned. That truly looks like the spectators merely think of a word, and you know what word it is. And I like presenting it as Psychic ability. I'm not...

Right now, I am looking for purely mind reading. I know of Center tear and peeks, and I also think of getting the Parapad at some point. Currently, I am looking for unique mind reading effects. Like, for example, something similar to Touching On Hoy by Luke Jermay. Now that is something great.

I can't be the only one who sometimes wonders how it must feel to be the spectator. Let me explain. I have never really been into magic. I faintly remember some magicians as a kid, but none of them really stands out in my memory, except David Copperfield. When I was 13 and on vacation in...

I agree. The whole point of magic (at least one of the biggest points) is to make people doubt, even just for a second, whether it's possible or not. The mystery is a big part of what makes magic entertaining in the first place. By saying "it's just this" or "it's just that" a lot of that...

@ChristopherT I never thought of busking. I never even know the word before I looked it up 10 minutes ago. It's illegal to gather money from street performance in Denmark, though, so that kind of sucks. But do you have any tips on busking? I have seen street performers before, but it is not...

I mean, yeah, bad, but I don’t consider myself smooth enough to have it all hanging on a paycheck. I need a bit more experience before I will demand money. And a retirement home sounds nice. Any tips there? I mean, would mentalism be too heavy for an elderly audience, or would it be the perfect...

I want to perform more shows to improve. Obviously, I am not good enough to get paid so I want to know where I can perform free shows. I have asked my old teacher if I can perform in her class, which I can, and I have performed for my little sister’s class, and they want me to come again. Is...

I have found myself straying further and further away from normal magic. I simply just don't enjoy doing them any more. It just doesn't feel right doing them. I don't think it fits my entire performance. I have previously wondered if I wanted to be a mentalist, but I decided that I didn't want...

Quick edit: Yes, it's angle proof WHEN they wear the right clothes. If they wear the right clothes, you can literally do the touch right in front of them. If they don't wear the right clothes, it becomes quite visible from behind. From the front, though, it will truly look as if your hands were...

I am from Denmark, and the Theory11 servers run on American time (no idea where from) and I am quite tired of not knowing when people have posted something, as the time zone is american by default. Sometimes it says that they sent it yesterday, when it was clearly today. It is quite confusing...

@ChristopherT Is there any way to contact him through Email or something other than Magic Café? The registration is closed (I have no idea for how long), and I am not to keen on getting (and paying for) an entirely new email address to access the forum.
