    New kick starter - magician inspired apparel

    One more thing that stands out that you could add that will really help your campaign sell (after you remove the topless girl not showing off your shirt)... Add shipping details! In the Risks section you state that you have never shipped overseas and plan to have friends help with the details...

    New kick starter - magician inspired apparel

    OUCH, wrong answer. One thing I've heard from a number of friends & coworkers that have given money to Kickstarter campaigns that have gotten full funding (for various things from comic books "ready to print!" to tech to apparel) is that they all have one thing in common: the end product always...

    Cards

    Similar in design & color: http://shop.dananddave.com/playing-cards/ace-fultons-casino-playing-cards.html They appear to be out of stock from that site, but I'm sure there are alternate sources. Think I've seen them on the shelf at Tannen's, for example. ;-)

    The invisible deck is dead?

    I love that presentation -- clever and plays big for TV! I wish he had spread the deck wider after revealing the reversed card, just for a better display. In my mind as a magician, he was too guarded with the deck in the revealing spread, like he was hiding something. Maybe laymen don't think...

    What's one deck you wish you owned?

    What's one deck you wish you owned? The perfect deck. The deck that fits every one of my wants as a performer of close-up card magic: * Artistically pleasing yet fairly simple back design, preferably black or blue with white boarders. (I like my Rebels and Shifters but I love my black NOCs!)...

    An effect by Dynamo

    I enjoy the mental exercise of deconstructing what I've seen to help me understand the way the world works. That is made easier with digital video. ^_^ Here are some key thoughts for the original poster. I had typed up a second-by-second, play-by-play of the video and decided not to post it all...

    Magic effects and copy right

    ^This. If I die too soon, my hardcover-bound magic journals of ideas & tricks I've designed are to go to my best friends (who are also performing magicians) for their benefit (they've seen most of it as I've designed it anyway), and not for posterity & dilution. Culture in the 21st century...

    Playing Card Recommendations

    My first thought before you said "Bees" was... "Bees". =) Work 'em in for half an hour, and you've got a reasonably priced deck that mostly matches your requirements.

    12 packet killer cut

    Holy year 2002, Batman! Looks very similar to some of the many packet cuts on Dan & Dave Buck's first *VHS* videos... like the Leno Cut (just add chin!). To my eye, it doesn't look like anything original.

    The invisible deck is dead?

    Also to the root of the problem from the original post -- what presentation are you getting busted with? Is it the David Blaine "street magic" presentation of "Think of a card, not the Ace of Spades, what is it? Okay here it is reversed in this deck that I just pulled out and haven't used for...

    David Blaine Real or magic (needle through arm)

    Really? Just gonna post the classic "I'm not doing any research on my own, just tell me where to buy it" schtick? Ugh. >.< Check out this resource.

    Your Thousand Timer

    Mine is The Last Trick of Dr Jacob Daley. I've probably performed it close to a thousand times (no exaggeration) in the past 12 years. If asked to "do a trick" then 9+ times out of 10 that's the trick I'll do. Four cards from the deck is less intimidating than 54 (I keep my Jokers) for a first...

    Whats a great camera for cardistry/magic?

    Don't forget to buy a tripod, even if it's a small one or a bendy one like the Gorillapod. Otherwise your filming gets limited to direct, head-on shots. That usually means crotch-shots and headless body-shots...

    Deciding on Magic

    This analogy is good. However, an experienced magician can buy, learn, and perform a new trick well enough within 2 months. That's under the *assumption* that the *experienced* magician has experience with that type of genre of magic, audience size, type, etc. Practicing in front of a...

    Bicycle Pluma Deck.

    An actual review: This deck is available at Walmart stores for $2.99 each. They come in two versions: blue and orange. The blue is a light and somewhat desaturated blue (almost a "slate blue"). The orange is a light/pale orange which I would compare to a "Creamsicle" ice pop (maybe a little...

    The Rejected Card-deck that moves when closed

    That's what I thought upon watching the video, until the low profile view. It doesn't move enough to seem like anything magical. From the original post I was expecting either more of a jump, or a haunted deck looking slide (moving a lot either with relatively high speed or distance (6" or a...
