Good post! You certainly got me thinking. I use the Herrmann pass a lot. Mine doesnt rely on twisting or turning the deck. Its ok to use the twists and turns but not too many times. Mine is a more natural handling. I will have to look at the AF version. I met him a few months back in london but...

Omni Deck. I have seen people lose it in a big way when i do this.

What do you need help for? It is this guy who needs the help (or a good kicking). I don’t know anything about the US schools system but I assume he is older than you are and this is blatant bullying. The fact that he knocked your cards out of your hand is assault and he is trying to damage...

Here is the question: Evaluate at least TWO examples of further training which could be undertaken in order to facilitate entry into a specific profession related to the performing arts. I have to write 1200 words on this, could I use this for my magic? I am not sure about which places to...

have a look at Decknique for some flourish turorials. Why does you card work need one hand shuffles?

I can uncerstand how frustrating it can be not to be able to perform when you have spent a lot of time practising. You could look in a local paper and see if there any local events. I dont know your age or location (dont answer that question either) but you might find there are local youth...

I disagree. dont just do a routine because you think it is the best. Do what works for your audience. Just pressing on with "in your hands" routines isnt going to help. Try a basic ACR. When the spec selets the card make sure you both openly know the card. Get the spec to cut the cards and then...

I dont know about the situaton you where in and how you perfom so i might not be giving you accurate answers. See if this helps though. 1) Develop raport with the spec. They wll be far more open to suggestion and easier to control. Let me know if you want to learn some simple techniques that...

This has happend a few times. I either say "yeah right", or just say "it should be. Its the one i gave you". Take it as a compliment. You obviously fooled the girl and her only way of getting some control of the situation was to do this. What ever you say, be confident.

Very good. Well handled. g

It would be a lot easier if you did somthing other than cards. Rope magic for example. If you really want to do card stuff do something where you can hold the cards up. It does depend how the audience is arranged though. if they are in more than one row you will find it difficult for the people...

I cant understand peoples fixation with the pass!! Even very quick passes get seen because the shoulders hunch, the patter (if any) slows and become unatural. Usally the deck is brought too close to the body because its natural to keep things as far away as possible from people to hide...

Pretty good! A few points. 1) Keep the magician graphics stuff seperate 2) On you vid try to get some live performance stuff 3) Get some images of you in a suit or dinner jacket. To get a hired its good to show you are versatile and can perform for a variety of audiences. 4) Don't...

What situation is this happening? It makes a lot of difference if this is just stuff for freinds or in a performance.

What do you want to get out of your magic? If you are not getting what you want, you will lose interest. Sit down and take some time to think when you really enjoyed magic. If its perfoming that you like, find some ways to get in front of people and do magic.

If your audience is entertained, then you have got the right mix of "magic" and XCM. I will say that audiences generally want to see other stuff rather than just cards. G

I would try any resteraunt that looks like there is space for you to perform. Don’t pass anything by as the manager may own other restaurants or do other events though or even do private parties. I would defiantly learn other stuff apart from cards. When you approach a table you will be...

Very nice work. I tried playing around with magic style ambigrams using AutoCad but they looked rubbish. I'm not very artistic but i did look at the website of the guy who did the angels and demons stuff. There was also a site that showed tatoo ambigrams. There was a fantastic one that read...

A marketing degree would be better.

It takes a lot of time but is well worth it. I dont use the 2 handed palm any more. Just take your time and get used to the moves.
