After watching Daniel Madison's video on camera tricks, I could not help but share my own thoughts on this subject. Although I do disagree with Daniel on this topic, I should mention that I have nothing but respect for Daniel and his work. This is just a disagreement. It is an opinion to help...

Well it'd be ideal if you could have a camera and projector. If not, then get creative with the presentation and what you've got. For example, if the entire thing is only 5 mins, then you can get those massive cards and create a rough and smooth concept using large cards to perform whatever...

Hey mate, first of all, I understand it can be nerve wrecking I have been there myself. The first thing to understand is that you are not limited to only mentalism. That is a common misconception. While it is easier to get the audience involved in mentalism effect, they're plenty of gambling...

Tbh in you're getting started then it really doesn't matter. Save your money and use the normal bike decks. But in general, when it comes to cardistry, any deck would do really, it's more about the design and how the colours look during flourishing. So cardistry touch is a very beautiful deck my...

I suggest stick with the books as a gudline and use YouTube to look up the moves. Then just be patient and keep practicing :)

Hey, just uploaded a new video teaching the lessinout stack. Check it out and let me know what you think. Also, I'm new to this YouTube stuff. I see this as an opportunity to connect with like minded people, to share my experience with you guys and to learn from you in return. So I would...

I think your character as a magician is a major determining factor on what role cardistry plays in your performance. Blaine for example does not do flourishing and I cannot even imagine him doing cardistry but it is due to the character he portrays when performing (And his performance style)...

Hey, So a few days ago I took part in an online discussion about the role of cardistry and card flourishing in magic. Many interesting questions were brought up such as should you do flourishing in a magic performance? Is cardistry harming magic? So on and so forth. Anyhow, in the end I thought...

Hey, your post in this forum sort of inspired my latest video. So thought to give you a shout would be great if you checked it out as I am new to posting videos and all this youtube stuff, so could use your feedback and support! Cheers! Sorry had to edit this cause I realized I forgot to give...

* A few days ago I came across a post here in this very forum about presentation anxiety. I kept reading through every reply and wrote my own and then thought it is something that many can relate to and almost every deals with at some point or another. So I decided make my next video on this...

Congrats mate! As MattieuZ said you can always ask for a screen to be set up. If you don't have a screen try to perform routines that give you chance to get the audience involve. Example: make an envelop win an extra hidden pocket inside, take a playing card, write a name and a number on it...

That's great! And that's a good routine. Then you're doing well. I reckon after a while as you perform in various settings you will bring to feel more and more comfortable performing. So just keep doing what you're doing and don't be afraid of making mistakes. Well done and keep up the good work

Thanks mate! I'm glad you liked it!

BUZZING!

Hi mate, There are a variety of marked decks on the market. When it comes to marked decks they are either readers, meaning that you can literally see the suit and the value of a card on the back. or they are marked, meaning that there is a marking system in place that you need to learn in order...

Hey! I agree with everything that has been already said. In general the best way to approach this is to learn the classic pass first. Practice in front of a mirror. Then try to find the pass or the cover that feels the most comfortable to you and stick with it. Pass is the vital move, and there...

Hey! Almost everyone goes through a similar phase at one point or another. It's a natural human reaction specially since no one likes to fail and everyone likes to impress. So here are a few things I can think of that you might find helpful. First of all it's important to understand that you...
