From my personal experience, I don't know of many magic wallets that have coin departments. So you might have to carry both a wallet and a coin purse. A regular coin purse/pouch should be easy to come by. If you are looking for a gimmicked coin purse I recommend Quiver (VanishingInc.com). But in...

Card 1: four of clubs card 2: six of hearts card 1: nine of hearts Card 2: ten of diamonds

I agree Randi and Houdini were snitches and I think most of it was ego driven.

It’s not much, but here it is:

I understand, no matter what character I choose I must maintain that outside of my shows as well. Thanks

That's what I was confused about. My plan is to perform as a mentalist as if I had psychic powers. Not as a spiritualist.

Thank you for the help

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely make sure I am well versed in any esoteric topic i present. I do have one question though, how do I get rid of the tada moments and still have an impactful show

Thanks, the opening for one with psychic abilities is what I was going for. I like how it sets it up but still leaves it up for the audience to decide.

Thanks

I am looking for suggestions on resources (preferably books) for powerful self-working card tricks. Anything from simple effects to stack work. Any advice is much appreciated.

I agree with @RealityOne that magicians guard and empty safe. I guess it's better to think of the methods as the tools we use to create magic. We have to keep these tools a secret so the magic lives on in the spectators mind.

Personally I do think that the methods are the secrets of magic. Theoretically, if a spectator was transfixed on finding out what you did they could figure it out. However, this is rare. Most people will never put in enough effort to figure it out. For most spectators they have no knowledge of...

I would suggest The Metal series by Eric Jones on Ellusionist. It is in four downloads, each of which is $35. The first one (Metal 1) is about the basics. Basic palms, vanishes, productions, etc. Metal 2 is slightly more advanced. It basically builds on what was learned in Metal 1. Metal 3 is...

Here’s mine,
