I also think its important that you keep in mind what the overall "vibe" of the tricks you put into your routine are, I would try to keep it pretty consistent throughout the whole routine. Also, as Justin said, building it up the "wow" factor of the routine is pretty much the way to go...

Well, a magician with a bottomless wallet would certainly have more doors open in terms of access to learning material. However, I believe what determines "success" is just pure hard work, determination, and a dash of creativity. It would be like the difference between an Ivy League college...

Hmmm... I would play the stock market with the money and garner a high rate of return. Then I would use my earnings to open my own high class restaurant in the heart of the town catering to rich and famous, opening up a venue for me and my friends to perform. Finally, I would use the money I...

You cannot control the card to the top with just the shift. However, in the 1 on 1 video, Aaron Fisher teaches a method where you can control the card back to the top.

Interesting... hmmm... Sybil Isabel Dorsett huh... time for a little wikipedia excursion...

Thanks guys for the prompt replies, i love these forums :) Anyway, I was watching the panic video again and I believe I figured out the nature of the gimmick... Again, thanks for you input and quick replies :)

Hey, I was wondering, for those of you who have the effect Panic, is it possible to use one card instead of the four kings? Meaning, instead of putting the four kings in my pocket, would it be possible to instead put one card (or make it look like i'm putting one card in), then do the deck...

For those of you interested in Akira Fujii's pass... http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=3364

The guy who's performing the moves for the teaching section is Genjiro. For the english portion, its translated by orion, and dubbed by nate river (who chuckles for a second half way through the dvd). The total length of the video is 9 minutes 11 seconds, with small portion at the end of...

First, for those of you who haven't heard about Mr. Akira Fujii's Classic Pass, please watch this. This is a review of the P.S.P, a set of steel plates and a dvd that aims to help you learn/improve the speed of your pass to the level of Akira Fujii's. You can purchase this product here...

I see... are there any, more modern iterations of this effect being produced?

Hi, I was just wondering, are there any self lighting cigarette gimmicks that allow you to actually smoke that self lit cigarette? Something like this Thanks Mino

There is no spoon, only a spork.

Somebody said that to me over and over again today, practice makes perfect. Currently, I am so annoyed with that statement that I just have to spread (what I think is) the truth. Practice DOES NOT make perfect Practice makes Permanent Practice makes Consistent But practice DOES NOT make...

Review of Warp One posted :)

At the request of a fellow forum member, here is my review/opinion on Warp One by David Ren Jenkins. You can find this product here. Alright, on to the review! Facts: Clean looking effect. Angle Sensitive during performance. Clear teaching. Variations of the effect are tought as well...

I tip my hat to you Greg, nicely said. An after thought I had a couple hours after my original post. I'm going to assume you're (skyching10) trying to create card magic, in addition to assuming that you are relatively new to magic. Now, if you think objectively about the tools we use to...

Personally, I start with the overall effect I want to achieve. I get inspirations from comic books, movies, random stuff I see of the streets. After I figure out what the effect will be, I sit down and start brainstorming how I will go about achieving that effect. Generally, through the...

Hello all, this is my first review, so please bear with me as I flex my reviewing muscles for the first time. If I insult anybody through my words, I'm terribly sorry, I had no intention of doing so, unless you deserve it, and I specifically call you out on it. A little on the format of this...

My thoughts on this: I use black cards for all my routines BECAUSE half the time I get questioned or called out on them. Why? Simple, because during the routine or if I mess up a trick, I can pull out my trusty normal blue backed invisible deck, and NOBODY asks about them... ever... so far...
