Things like this is exactly why I don't perform anything on the street. I exclusively only do performances at parties of friends and they are typically like me and they are usually very open, want to have fun, and chill out. Could you imagine what might possibly be your favorite deck of cards...

You know now that I am home and I could type on a keyboard and not my phone. I am really alarmed, but not actually surprised to see a post like this from theory 11 crew. Everyone should expect brutal honesty. Thats the only way people get better. Don't lie to make him feel better, but we...

The best ambitious card routines are the very visual kind. Executing a few double lifts isnt exciting to the spectator. Also, its pretty commonly established that you don't want to insert a card to "the middle of the deck" on your side. That's not exactly "fair". I suggest watching Tony Chang...

I don't know how you want us to critique your classic pass when all you seem to be doing is distract and delay. You do too much and its very distracting and draws a lot of attention to your hands. Again, I don't know what you want us to say when you have your top hand obstructing the top...

OP, don't listen to anyone and just do whatever makes you happy. Everyone treats this talent as if it was Kung Fu, which is ridiculous. I have taught many children and adults the art that is music often for nothing, and it was rewarding for me to introduce them and give them the foundation...

I wouldn't say that it has inspired original moves, but I certainly have modified some of the moves taught to suit my style. I have abused 52 motions in so many ways. Instead of closing it by flipping the deck to your other hand, try flipping it to the same hand instead. Blink is another move...

Good advice on the first post I don't think it can stressed enough that washing your hands is the 1st step. I want to add to that. After you wash your hands, refrain from scratching your head, picking at your skin, and generally making contact with yourself or anyone else. It really does go a...

Basically what the title says. My best friend (also a magician) says I'm a lefty, but everyone else tells me I'm a righty or ambidextrous I think I just have a completely dominate left hand with a little bit of right handed stuff. Mechanics grip: In left hand Palming: In left hand Writing...

I usually just stop when I have someone who isn't receptive to having magic performed in front of them. Magic has to be fun for you, too. I just put my cards away or anything else and go "Nevermind, maybe I do something later"

Twitch is a good casual trick. You'll likely never use unless you have your angle with spectators mostly head on. Very sensitive to spectators to side of your grip. There just simply are better color changes out there, IMO. Flicking cards just aren't soft enough and to me always ruin the moment...

I can tell you as an owner of Alchemy that borrowing a coin from a spectator isn't suggested unless you have spectator's that happen to have and enjoy handing over rare coins for you to take. Alchemy is entirely dependent on the size of the coin and weight of the coin as most coin tricks are...
