    Aristocrats

    To clarify, these are not a T11 print job, however, these reprints of the old 727 decks are one of the BEST decks hands down that I've handled from USPCC... especially with the move to the Erlanger plant. I was told that these were in a limited print run, but not sure if they are going to print...

    What do you do when a heckler does this?

    "I bet that's how he treats his girlfriend!"

    Learn to do the sleight or move to perfection, then spend hours on what to say.

    Keep in mind to maintain the 2+ way dialogue and don't script so that your piece is just a 1 way monologue to the audience.. Even with scripts, your performance must always have spontaneity. In some pieces I do, I entertain verbatim to the script I wrote for it.. Just play around with your...

    Wiregrams: Ideas and Presentations

    This isn't really a "magicy" piece ... You aren't using supernatural forces to cover the true method. You have a lighter and flash paper. More like something you present to explain the doctrines of education of magic and it has to do with physics.. Or skill, or whatever pertains to your...

    ok - this abuse needs to end.

    Honestly, there are plenty of things that negatively affect our art of magical entertainment. Who cares. If I ever meet a PUA and they would like to discuss magic, I'm going to discuss magic with them. I don't mind. Each magic trick is designed to give the entertainer higher value...

    Practise #1 - Passes

    With your Hermann pass, you are executing the shift after you close the spread. Try tossing the packet AS you close the spread. Otherwise, it just telegraphs that something is happening. Overall, each pass that I saw looked like a move. I could either hear, see, or just tell by how your...

    Berglas effect

    In the Berglas book, David explains the differences between CAAN and the Berglas effect, one stressed point being that he doesn't touch the deck before or after, whereas in most CAAN/ACAAN pieces the deck is handles before and after. I think that the Berglas Effects is a good read if you've...

    Blog #1 Creating your own sleight + Plus free new control

    Just wanted to chime in here, but the move that you are doing is already in print. I think you have reinvented THE DRAUN CONTROL from the December 2005 issue of GENII. The Draun move is based on an unpublished Frank Thompson move which was shown to Ricky Jay Draun's is based on Marlo's Movable...

    Classic Pass Question

    Why post about other shifts when we are discussing the classic pass and its inherent issues?

    Classic Pass Question

    As far as your speed and invisibility on the move, take out maybe a deck and a half or 2 decks and just start passing them. This will build your muscles and get you to find where your fingers need to be to get it going faster. When you switch back to 1 deck, your pass will be much faster. I...

    Classic Pass Question

    I've been working on the move for a few years now, and I can vouch that I still do not have it down. But here's what you should know... The pass is literally the WORST method for controlling a card because of how it is situated. I only use the pass for a few things, but never a control. Keep...

    Acr

    It isn't really an ambitious card sequence... Even with patter, from a technical aspect, it's just a bunch of re appearances with no linear model of progression. Performing this will cloud the audience's perception of what the initial effect was. Keep your ambitious card separated from your...

    Totally out of control out of print?

    I got a copy from Kaufman. I have an extra copy on my shelf if you are interested in the book.

    What would happen if all decks got discontinued?

    I suppose I'd just have to plow through 5,000 decks in my storage shed over my lifetime... Shouldn't be too hard. :)
