    The fallacy of the bottom deal...

    Well both deals certainly have their uses. But yes for using the second deal you need to have a way for knowing the top cards as you deal for it to be truly effective in that sense. But if for some reason you guys have really decided that your goal in life is to cheat your friends, or grandma...

    Magic in close quaters...

    As a current college student myself, my advice would be don't worry about it. I lived in the dorms my freshman year and it was fine I had plenty of time to practice when my roomate wasn't there. The chances of you and your roomate having the exact same class schedule is pretty much zero. So...

    Water to Beer?

    I don't own this effect personally but i know someone who did purchase it and it is real beer, taste and all. I know that penguinmagic sells it but i don't know who else does. I'm sure a quick google search will give you a few other stores.

    You are not an artist!

    First let me say that accusing everyone on this site of not being an artist is absurd and rude. But I am sure you were perfectly aware of that when you wrote this. Art is completely dependant upon the audience. When that five year old fingerpaints a picture of his family together, no stranger...

    TresPass

    I don't have the 1 on 1, but I have a PDF of it from his site. The pass is not hard at all to do. I was intrigued by the idea of it but lets say its a pass i'm not planning on using in any of my performances.

    Ninja 1 & 2

    The Ninja series was actually some of the first DVDs i had ever purchased. Aside from the pass I don't think there is anything overly complicated in the videos, especially if you have been doing magic for two years. But as Brad states in the first video you are supposed to know the pass before...

    Absolut Playing Cards

    I don't have them any more but I have played around with a deck of them. They are extremely thin but they are a decent deck. It all comes down to personal preference.

    Card Cheating

    Do NOT get this DVD it is only a half an hour long and it teaches you nothing. It mainly shows what is possible rather than teaching any of the moves. Some good names for card cheating techniques are Steve Forte and Richard Turner. Turner has an entire DVD series dedicated to different cheating...

    Ending A Good Performance

    There's really no right way to end a performance. You don't have to come up with an ellaborate and clever way to wrap things up if it puts strain on you and your performance. Just say thank you and leave. Heck if you have just done something astonishing and your audience is in silent disbelief...

    Intermediate Card Magician looking for new material

    I would agree, One is definately a good resource. If you like Madison's stuff I would also definately recommend his Dangerous DVD's, one of the best purchases I have made in a while.

    Stripper Deck

    I was wondering if anyone uses a stripper deck for any of their performances. I have never used one but I know a friend who has one and the idea definitely intrigues me. What kinds of effects can you use it for other than instantly knowing where your spectator's card is? I thought of mabye doing...

    When I do a cheating routine in addition to the effects you have already named i will do an ace routine, scarnes aces or whatever you like. I also might give a deck stacking demonstration or something like that. However if I'm broadining my routine to not only include cheating but gambling in...
