    SEASONS Playing Cards - Feedback Requested

    I hate to echo everyone else here, but these look seriously good. I really like the way that they manage to look extremely special yet still basically look just like a normal pack of cards. It's a fine line to tread, but you did it great. Is there seriously any chance that T11 would pick...

    Looking to beef up my repertoire.

    I've always found that the best routines are the ones which we come up with ourselves. I have an epic 'master card routine' which I've been toying round with for ages now - when people freak out over one of your own tricks, it's the sweetest feeling :) Probably not the answer you were looking...

    [Video] - Hardcore move practice

    Thanks guys. I'm pleased with the pass - you see all those guys online with these stellar passes, it's good to know it looks decent. Re: the second deal, I figured it would be more a magician's 2nd deal (like in a Stop trick) rather than a gambling 2nd deal, so maybe it would seem more natural...

    [Video] - Hardcore move practice

    Hey guys, So I hooked up a camera and recorded me doing a few sleights. I hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdMpp1z_GF8 Nothing much out of the ordinary, but there's a lot of stuff in this vid which I've done a while but it's the first time I've seen a recording of myself...

    My Fox TV Appearance (mentalism)

    Benji, I've seen you a few times around the web now, and I have to say you seem like you're a superb performer. The way which you so effectively communicate with an audience is inspiring to see. I should maybe take some pointers, haha. And congrats on being on TV!

    Performance Styles

    RealityOne, that's a great point. People should be listening to you, you know what it's all about. Personally, if I'm asking myself what my 'end product' needs to be, it suddenly becomes clear what magic performance should be all about. I think spectators should come away from my performances...

    Aether Cards & The Vortex Deck

    Okay, fair enough. I apologise if I said anything that was out of order. Tbh, your designs actually look pretty great. I suppose maybe I'm just too cynical to see a pack of $10 cards thriving amongst the magic titans like T11 and Ellusionist. I wish it could succeed, but I have my doubts...

    Aether Cards & The Vortex Deck

    I hate to be the one who has to say this, but this thread is so, so funny. How old are you? Kid, everyone harbors plans for global domination, but we try and keep it to ourselves!

    Houchin: X-Elent Lecture Series

    Wow Wayne, sounds amazing! Wish I could fly over, haha. Seriously though, sounds like an awesome lecture. I really get the impression that you've really "been there and done it" with layman audiences - which is more than you can say for many others. I'm sure you probably have a lot of great...

    The Wire Question

    Hey, it's really great that you guys finally got this baby going. I remember years ago I would wonder what it was, and now it's finally here! Question: did you guys always know what it would be? Or were you, roundabout the time it disappeared, unsure what you were going to do with it? I'm...

    Performing at a hospice next week - Please help

    Seeing as time is of the essence, you should stick the stuff which a)you already know and b)you feel the most comfortable performing. The best magic you will do is the stuff where you are less concerned with the technique, and more concerned with the presentation of your magic. There are no...

    Performance Styles

    Great point RealityOne! Odd metaphor, but accurate. :) The thing which we can sometimes forget within magic is that these effects which we do are, when delivered well, capable of being the greatest thing your spectators will have ever seen. Personally, I don't think I deliver that. At least not...
